Life or Death started out super exciting, then it died for about a half a chapter and I had a really hard time getting back into it. That’s not to say it was exciting, but the characters felt a little distant at first. I couldn’t figure out what was going on in Audie’s head, so I didn’t connect with him very well at first. Once I got past that rough part, and as the story grew I learned more and more what was going on, I was totally addicted.

The story follows Audie Palmer, an unlikely criminal who turns out to be much more than expected. He is fighting very hard for something that doesn’t make sense on the surface… it’s not until you dive deeper with him that you realize just how much more there is to the story. So much love, so much hate, so much deceit.

I loved the way the story came together at the end. As I said, there were some chapters I had trouble getting into at first, but when the story ended, I wanted to applaud.

really enjoyable

The first season is amazing it has anything you could want out f a good medical drama:
- a quirky main character
-well developed secondary characters
-lots of gory medical scenes
and 1 thing you would want to see in any drama much character development

That being said like many other dramas and even movies and books the series falls at the hurdle of the second season.don't get me wrong the series is still watchable and good however it just for me at least loses its spark that you see in the first season. its really hard to pinpoint what is lacking but it is. if I had to say what brings this about id say that maybe if anything they set the bar to high in the first season. I mean how can you beat performing surgery in a train station?

Although yes the series does go downhill slightly it is still highly enjoyable and id recommend to anyone particularly for those with a love of medical dramas.

Have have you watched Bates Motel on Netflix? Freddie Highmore is brilliant in it, he can really make your blood run cold. Also, have you seen Atypical? That’s another brilliant series based around an autistic character.

First of all.. this book is loooooooooonnnnng. I feel like I may have read 3 books in 1 binding.

I expected it to be similar to Eat, Pray, Love in style, but boy was I incorrect! Don't get me wrong, the writing is beautiful, the characters are extremely interesting and I loved the first half ... I couldn't get enough of this riveting story, rich historical references and so much beauty in the descriptions of nature and plants and their surroundings. I felt like I was learning so much, as well as being treated to a beautiful story. I was hooked in, and fast....

But then.... I got stuck. Like REALLY stuck. I felt like it just turned into a different writer all together? I couldn't focus, the tone changed, the story faltered as quickly as the characters lives did. It was hard for me to finish this one. I loved the first half of the book. I wish she had stopped it there ... it just went on too long, and I was so sad that it did.

Ease of use, good for 1st time user of DSLR (0 more)

First DSLR

The Nikon D90 was the first DSLR camera I purchased for myself. I have always taken pictures and have been the "unofficial" photographer in the family. I purchased this camera and started my own photography business. The D90 was an awesome camera. I purchased a few lenses to switch out depending on subject and the ease of changing lenses is unparalleled. The D90 stopped working properly and I have to take it to the shop for repair. In the meantime I purchased a Canon PowerShot, it doesn't even live up to the D90. The only downfall I could possibly say is taking all the lenses along on outings to get the perfect shot etc. The PowerShot does have it beat there as it is an all in one. I'm so happy I ended up with the D90 as my first go around. I recently purchased a D5300 and while I love Nikon, this one isn't as good as my D90.

Reviewing this game as a whole.

First of all I'd like to say I am reviewing this game as a whole I am not specifying to any particular core for expansion. Star Realms is one of my favorite deckbuilding games. It is best with two players, however you can play with more. I personally do not like playing with any more than 3 players, as the game does slow down when more players are added. Aside from deck building the combinations that are possible in this game are through the roof and I absolutely love that part of this game. This was the first deck building game I played that introduced defense to a deck building game for me. I'm sure there are plenty of others that have defense in them however this is the one I was first introduced defense. Most of the deck building games I have played before was simply deck build, collect points, and/or destroy the other players.
