Having a curiousity about the capital, having family from there or are just plain curious about the places to visit there, this book is a great way of introducing little ones to that environment. Another book in the city looking at places in the United States of America. Based on the task of searching for monsters this book encourages readers to use their observational skills to look for and find the "cute" monsters. I say "cute" as to prevent my little one from getting the idea that monsters are everywhere I made them out to be cute, monsters in the cupboard and under the bed are enough for us thanks. Some of the monsters were easier to find than others which allow for a longevity for the title that is not always found in this type of search and find book. All in all, a worthwhile book to get those little ones curious about the world around them.
  
Godzilla Vs Hedorah (1971)
Godzilla Vs Hedorah (1971)
1971 | Fantasy
The movie that goes to show that when it comes to allegorical fables about the environment featuring man-in-a-suit monsters, subtlety isn't always necessary. Pollution-spawned jelly-beastie develops various peculiar powers and threatens Japan; Godzilla turns up to deal with it. Is the subtext that we should choose nuclear power over fossil fuels? Unlikely but possible.

Godzilla Vs Hedorah makes itself distinctive amongst the Godzilla films of the early 70s by virtue of its sheer, insidious weirdness, most of it due to Banno's direction: there are sudden switches to black-and-white, split screen sequences, educational segments, and allegorical cartoons. Doesn't stop it being mostly awful, but in a strangely hypnotic way, and it least it's obviously about a serious issue for a change. Possibly most infamous for the sequence where Godzilla uses his atomic breath as rocket thrust to fly with, but much other weirdness is also present. Bad, but very watchably bad.

A Promise for Tomorrow by Miranda Barnes is a wonderful book. It is a story about new beginning and new romantic interests. Just because one chapter in your life ends does not mean that life ends all together and this story shows the reader that second chances come around. Sarah, the main character, needed a change of pace so she quit her job, ended her relationship that was going nowhere and moved to a new place. In her new environment she found a new job, and made new friends. Sarah met India and became good friends which opened the door to meeting more people like Robert. The story will have you rooting for Sarah and Robert and their relationship.
The story was simply written but shows that people can take a chance on love when they have lost the one they love.
 
I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley for a fair and honest review.

2014 | Fantasy, Sci-Fi
Raises interesting morality questions in a post apocalyptic environment (earth)/in space. (1 more)
Subsequent series develop and enrich the storyline
Very young adult based to start with and quite predictable. (0 more)
Quite teeny to start with in the first series but the second and third start to get more gripping.
I was recommended this series by my best friend and to start with it appeared a bit budget and awkward in parts, but as the episodes and series progressed you developed a feel for the different characters and gained more enjoyment from the storyline itself.
For me I found the morality aspect interesting. Who do you pick to explore a potentially deadly planet? Who gets to survive in space when theres limited oxygen levels etc?
Still following the series since the first one, so I guess its pretty good if im still watching it three years later or so :).
If you like survival, sci fi, and lord of the flies it should appeal.

Mass Effect 3: Leviathan (DLC)
Mass Effect 3: Leviathan (DLC)
2012 | Action, Action/Adventure, Role-Playing
Additional backstory on the Reapers (1 more)
Stunning visuals in one section
Poorly designed sections (2 more)
Reuse of assets/locations ad nauseum
Lots of padding
Should have stayed at the bottom of the ocean
Contains spoilers, click to show
This DLC shouldn't really exists.
The last section could easily have been part of the base game and I wouldn't be shocked if EA was a factor in forcing it into a separate package.
Whilst the concept was good, it was poorly executed. Lots of to and fro between different locations and having to repeatedly go back to the lab was frustrating. The whole thing just felt very poor.
In the second mission Shepard had to battle through Reapers, navigate a changing environment, go up and down ladders repeatedly all whilst the area was being bombarded with explosive projectiles. They added a massive camera shake every time this happened. The result was me coming away feeling very motion sick which I've never experienced in Mass Effect before. Poor show all round. Do not recommend.
