i'm just able to skim this but i like it much better than his original book. there are tons of exercises and not as many quizzes. i guess it helps to know what kind of person you are in the relationship (contemptuous, defensive, etc) and to know your argument style. but with "seven principles" you're given the tools to help your marriage period. it doesn't make much of a difference if you're conciliatory or volatile. i'd recommend this book over the other.

Eleanor Oliphant - social misfit
Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read! Eleanor Oliphant is the best heroine ever! I just really identified with her as a socially awkward, slightly anti social woman. The difference is that I have autism and she’s that way due to her mother. I’m not going to go into that though, read it!
The end sort of petered out but it’s definitely a book that I would read again.

I liked this.
I didn't enjoy it as much as [b:Love to Hate You|38089447|Love to Hate You|Jo Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1524974137s/38089447.jpg|59758616] but it was still a pretty cute romantic comedy. I loved how the chemistry between the two very different characters made them determined to overcome those difference and how they're feelings developed.
I also loved the journey through rural Africa and back into urban cities.
I'm looking forward to reading some more books by the author.

Bleak but marvelous
Four hour Chinese epic. From the reviews which claimed it was boring arthouse I expected a non sensicle four hour delve into weirdness. Its not art house at all (well apart from the ending), instead it is a bleak walk through an impoverished inner Chinese city, with the space in the film creating a feel of claustrophobia as each of the characters lives start closing in on them. The theme really is of blame and understanding the difference and ownership of responsibility.

Great fight choreography (1 more)
Good ol' training montages
Punches above its weight
I wasn't sure what to expect from this after the Balboa offering. I didn't get my hopes up but was pleasantly surprised. There is a lot of character development while still maintaining the best bits of a Rocky film but with a modern setting. Actually having a current big name boxer like Tony Bellew (almost playing himself) in the film made a huge difference. The fights are good, soundtrack is decent and the story isn't cheesy thankfully. Well worth going a few rounds with.

This was an excellent read! I loved the characters and the different perspectives we got the story from, not only the main characters but the supporting ones as well. I loved how the story showed how much of a difference one person can make in someone's life and how one choice can change the course of that person's life completely. Daniel and Natasha made me believe in true love and fate they made me feel like anything is possible which I think is the mark of a really good story.
A story that begins as revenge turns into so much more. An original story that takes a look at blood money and the difference between classes. If our blood was the money used to pay for everything. The poor bleed their lives away while the rich stay young for hundreds of years by consuming the blood coins of others.
I have to say I was skeptical but I loved this story. It was so original and the plot was something that kept you guessing until the very end.

The humor in this movie was spot on. The cast was excellent. The story line was great and it fit perfectly with the original Jumanji movie.
I think it is really important to mention- this is a spinoff. It is not a remake of the original. My fiance was confused about that and a little annoyed but in my opinion if you can understand the difference between spin off and remake then this is an excellent movie that lovers of the original movie should definitely take the time to check out.

Nina George’s newest novel is about Marianne, a German woman who, at the age of 60 decides to kill herself while vacationing in Paris with her husband. Of course, she fails at her attempt, and that (as the poet says) has made all the difference. This novel is as charmingly written as her previous one, but I think I liked that one just a little bit better. Find out why in my newest book review on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/06/09/leaping-late-in-life/
