Book Rating
DNF @28%

I wasn't entirely sure what this was about when I got it from Smashwords. If I remember correctly, it had good ratings and reviews on there which is why I downloaded it.

Unfortunately, I didn't really gel with the storyline or the characters. And I'm not too big a fan of lots of sex in a story, unless there's romance involved in it, and considering I was only 28% (2 page turns to a %) in, about 15%--maybe more--of that must have been him looking at her "f*ck me" boots and her body and touching and kissing and wanting to do more. I get that she's got this allure about her but for me there was a little too much lusty stuff and not enough other plot in it up to that bit.

Oh, and it could do with a good editing.

Movie Favorite

"The British Invasion of the sixties fascinates me, as do the glitter rock and prog rock movements that followed. A Hard Day’s Night is my all-time favorite film, and the music made between 1964 and 1974 has remained my favorite. Most of that music is filled with power, liberation, and joy. But right in the middle of that ten-year period was this terrible event that seems to body-slam the “peace and love” vibe that preceded it. The Rolling Stones had recently lost founding member and icon Brian Jones and were moving on. Some genius decides to hire Hells Angels (with beer) for security at their concert at the Altamont Speedway, which results in the stabbing death of a concertgoer. It’s amazing that these events all come together in this eerie and compelling document. This film details the exact moment of “the end of an era.” Chilling."
