An excellent book to read if you are in your 20’s or want to go back to that inner wisdom you felt when you were figuring out life. Beautifully written with engaging images. You can read this book in a couple hours but will most likely find yourself rereading passages for year to come.
This book is full of poems of ideas that you have most likely thought or heard throughout your life. It’s nothing profound but it’s nice to be able to flip through and have these tumbleresque moments in one place.
A great book to put in the bathroom or on a coffee table with other magazines.

These women can act!
I wish I had read the book before I watched the series. I don't think it would have added to my enjoyment, but I just like to know what they left out. Anyway... even though there are other similar stories out there, I think this is one of the better ones. I never finished Divergent or Hunger Games, but this held my attention. Elizabeth Moss is excellent as the lead role. Stay tunes to for Season 2, it it also worth of an day on the sofa binge watching.

Intense sci-fi
This Netflix original is a good one. Once again Netflix comes through with an excellent story. Time travel is always a tough one to make work but they did in this intense action thriller. The characters were played well and the film work was extremely good. It takes place in one house/lab where a machine designed to generate limitless energy somehow loops time. The protagonists have to keep figuring out what to do in each loop to survive. The story unfolds beautifully and is full of twists and turns. Some violence but nothing gory- pretty family friendly. REALLY worth a watch!

In depth story with great series potential
I’ve jumped on the ‘must read before the tv series’ and I’m really glad I did. I’ve been meaning to read this ever since it came out but TBRs are what they are. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, it was well-researched and deep.
Working in academia, I appreciated the context and the attention to detail was excellent in this area. The story was engaging and satisfying but complicated. I read and listened to this book dependant on what I was doing and it was defintely harder to concentrate with the audio at times.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the books.

Welcome revisit
I was a big fan of Deadwood when it was originally on and was hooked from the first episode.
The pace and way it dealt with the characters was excellent which is why the sudden cancellation after season 3 was a heavy blow as we never got to see what happened to the characters we had grown to know.
Until now....
I really enjoyed revisiting deadwood 10 years later and found it still as enjoyable and some of the stories were given the closure they deserve and some were left wanting but in all a short but welcome return .

A must-watch Documentary - Drama
An excellent insight into what happened at Chernobyl Nuclear Powerplant which has opened up my interest in the subject and made me read more into the characters /history etc.
The suffering that followed in the wake of the disaster is mind blowing though the 'official' recorded death toll is only around 35 people.
A must watch for young and old though some seems are upsetting / distressing.
Although the team of scientists who supported after the incident were mainly depicted by one character in the series, the bravery of those people is inspiring and should not be forgotten.

Good Quality VR, Good Range of Games
The PlayStation VR is a fun, immersive way of playing a good range of Games and experiences...and scaring the hell out of loved ones.
The quality of the hardware is excellent, although no matter how you put it on, some light will always sneak in from somewhere, which does detract from the full immersive experience you were hoping for.
One of the best examples of VR games (albeit the most unnerving) is Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which is ok to play normally, but made all the more terrifying in VR!

Tooany point if views
I bought this book after watching the T.V. series. This was probably a mistake. The character of Anna is spot on, as is Mouse and Mary Ann, but there are soany point of views that I was regularly getting lost. The book is dated, understandable as it is 30 years old but I didn't enjoy the storylines with the wealthy families. It was slow in the middle but was wrapped up well. I guess there wasn't enough hooks or tension throughout. In saying that, I will probably buy book two out of curiosity.

This had me gripped from the very first sentence to the very last. I am currently researching P.T.S.D. in order to write a theatre production. Brian had, and still has, a lot of emotions that didn't always make sense and that is a natural reaction given the sights he had witnessed.
When he stands in a queue and contemplates killing those around him due to their lousy life worries was very tense in reading but very understandable. He has been reassured that he isn't crazy and that he doesn't have P>T>S>D and I hope that gave him peace mentally and physically. Excellent book!
