A brilliant Discworld Book
This is a brilliant Discworld book written in typical Pratchett style. Death is a fantastic character, always one of my favourites, and this is full of humour relating to him. It's always good when a book can make you laugh out loud.
My only criticisms would be that Princess Keli is a slightly irritating character and the book itself just didn't seem long enough - I wanted more!
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the Discworld waters.

Superb stalk and slash with Savini effects
Tonight's viewing is this little gem from the 80s. Standard stalk and slash who dunnit with a very predictable killer but it's the work of gore wizard Tom Savini that's the real star here and what separates it from the other many slasher films made during the 80s and 90s. He gives us so many amazing death scenes with effects that hold up 37 whole years since release. A must watch for slasher fans and gore hounds!

A lonely Vampire damned for eternity
Contains spoilers, click to show
Louis (Pitt) a grieving lonely sole longs for death and is given just that, the eternal death of a vampire courtesy of Lestat (Cruise). An interesting take on vampire lore as the story is told from the point of view of the vampire, a great cast, Cruise as Lestat is astounding, the contrast between Louis and Lestat is fantastic, one loves life as vampire the other despises it, definitely worth a watch, the only movie I have ever watched that's made me want to read the book afterwards :-)

Daniel Brasher is winding down his job as a therapist to released criminals when he starts getting death threats in his inner office main - death threats aimed at other people. Can he figure out what is happening before the killer turns to him?

I enjoyed all three stories in this book. I was with emotional though out the book. The first book is about learning to deal with death of a love one and learn to get though your marriage struggles of your marriage that you when though.
The second book talks about depression and a bit about marriage struggles. This book also talks about telling the truth and adoption. This is quite a story and about foster care as well.
The third story is about death as well and learning to trusting in good.

This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.

Basically, Star Wars 'what-if's'.
What if Lukes attack run on the original Death Star had failed?
What if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth?
What if the attempt to free the frozen-in-Carbonitite Han from Jabba the Hutt had failed?
And, most intriguingly, what had George Lucas's original vision looked like?
As in any compilation, some of these stories are better than others - it's also quite easy to spot the similarities between Lucas's original vision and the Prequel trilogy (most noticeably in how Leia is portrayed)!
