"On my eighth birthday my mother gave me a hardcover copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The inscription read: ‘Here is the brother you said you wanted.’ I was having trouble in school—particularly reading—and a psychologist had recently tested me and informed my mother and the school that I was, in the parlance of the day, ‘retarded.’ My mother steadfastly refused to accept this, saying, ‘You just haven’t found anything you care enough about to read.’ It turned out I was dyslexic and perhaps mildly autistic. It took me months, and when I was done, I could read, and I had indeed been given a brother—two, in fact, and I have visited with them every year since my eighth birthday."

This book is an introduction to this marvellous character. I admire her power and amazingly kind heart. When I was reading the book I actually felt like I was in Africa, following the character through her journey. Author made every page breath of African spirit. It is very interesting to watch Monroe interact with other characters. The book is intriguing and fast paced, in every chapter there is something happening, it is hard to put it down. There are a lot of twists and turns. It is really easy and interesting to read it. I loved the ending, its well thought through and unexpected. I recommend everyone to give it a go on this great book if you love suspense and adventures.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Season 1 in TV

Jul 14, 2019 (Updated Jul 14, 2019)

I was really ticked when The Clone Wars was taken off Netflix, but I understand that Disney's pulling all of their media from other streaming services. While I was going through my couple hundred movie, I randomly found the first season in my collection. Apparently, the DVD is now worth around $50.
It was always a massive bummer that we never really knew the details of what happened in the Clone Wars exactly from the films. This show fills in the gaps, not only showing Anakin and Obi-Wan's adventures, but several other jedi as well. It also introduced new characters, such as Ahsoka, and Ventress. The first season is solid and entertaining. I'm glad that it was kept in canon when Disney took over.

The second (of, currently, two) of Audible's Arabian Nights series, this is again framed - as the original tales are - as Scheherazade telling her Sultan increasingly fantastical tales so he will not kill her, and so that she will live another night.

This time around, the tales are all of Sinbad the Sailor and his many adventures, although I'm pretty sure that these are told in a different order than they usually, and with a different way of linking each tale rather than Sinbad going back to land, getting bored, and heading off on a new voyage.

You may note I said earlier of, currently, two - this is left open for a sequel: I must admit, also, to be surprised at the rather abrupt ending of the audiobook!
