When I read the description of this book I got really excited. It's Quantam Leap from my childhood 90's tv viewing! A person waking up in a different body each day and having to take on their role and decide how to live. Every day did have a similar element however 'A' as this person is called can access previous memories of these peoples lives in order to carry on their day as normal. I had a hard time connecting with the love story in this book as the girl was pretty young but overall I liked the logical thinking of 'A' and how 'A' lived this life. I did feel like had more questions than answers by the end however. I guess I'll leave my questions and answers up to my imagination.

Too creepy
I know that a lot of people have raved about it but I have to say I couldn't watch the whole series. I got to about half way through episode 4 and couldn't carry on. I was creeped out too much.
Maybe I should of persisted but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
It's a story about a (all be it very hunky) man called Joe who spots the woman of his dreams and basically stalks her until she starts dating him. I didn't make it much further before I stopped watching because it was just far far far too creepy.

Yet another cobblers sequel to the 80s action classic, as Bruce Willis goes to Russia after his grown-up son is thrown in the clink for murdering someone. This turns out to be part of a uproariously stupid plot featuring all the usual goons in ski-masks and some sort of plan to carry out a heist on Chernobyl (mmm, tasteful).
Not just a bad movie, but one which is only barely functional as a narrative - the various cartoony action set-pieces are competently slapped together, but the connective tissue of characterisation, plot exposition, and relationships is just not there. No wit, no subtext, no point.

I enjoyed this book as we got to see more of Lucy and Tennyson and the growing connection between them.
I also enjoyed that some of the answers about Lucy were answered, as she possibly begins to get powers of her own, but what will they be??
I am still enjoying this series as a lighthearted teen book. We are also getting to see more of some of the other characters which is good as I particularly like Nikolai and Althea.
I still find it annoying that the main story is slow to progress, but will carry on with it as I am enjoying it.

Excellent Affordable Earbuds
The soundison wireless earbuds are affordable high quality earbuds. They retail for £46.99 on Amazon.co.uk and they are well worth the price. They come in their own case which is also the charger. Nice and compact, easy to carry around. Charge within three to four hours and last about 8 hours continuous music. Easy to connect to various devices (i connected them to my Lenovo Laptop, Ipad 4 and Sony Xperia XA2 with no problems). Nice light indicators to show charging that changes colour when fully charged. Ideal for those with lower budgets but who still want excellent sound quality.
