An interesting premise for a series, and it works reasonably well.

Good acting and writing for the most part, although a little predictable in places.


A fun watch no brains TV

Clever use of the Fantasy setting
A Fantasy setting that will make you second guess everything. Excellent use of brutality in a way that expresses emotions other than hate.

This book was the best of the series!! It was a satisfying ending. It leaves you wanting more, but at the same time it was a great end to that branch of the series. Kudos to Rick Riordan...well done!

Mumford re-ignited the folky genre with this album, bringing us their folky twist. (2 more)
Passionate, well written and excellently performed tracks.
I think, for me, this is still their first and best album.
Mumford's debut album - a plethora of folky tunes.

In Utero by Nirvana
In Utero by Nirvana
1993 | Alternative
Stark contrast to Nevermind. Totally different production, producing a far more corrosive, yet engaging sound. (1 more)
Final Nirvana album, but well recognised as being very personal to the band. There are some great songs here, which all add to the Nirvana legacy.

I honestly didn't understand the hype of this book. It's difficult to read, sentence structure is odd and just doesn't flow well. That and Mr Grey would have been arrested in real life for kidnapping and possible mental and physical abuse.

Getting Off: One Woman's Journey Through Sex and Porn Addiction

This is a memoir about a woman's addiction to porn and sex. It is well written, raw, and honest. I commend her for talking about something viewed as taboo. If she writes anything else I would be interested in reading it.
