Lullaby girl awakes on a Scottish Loch with no memory of her past except the Norwgian Lullaby she is singing. Read as her memories unfold to reveal a harrowing ordeal.

The story had great potential and for 75% of the book I did really enjoy it, it lived up to the suspense expected. The characters at the womens home were really different and built up so that you felt terror when they were around.

I felt the ending was rushed and repetitive in places e.g. hiding a lot.

Rolling Stone's 473rd greatest album of all time

I have been listening to a lot of 80s alternative music recently, having become obsessed with The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen. My feelings for the Smiths has softened somewhat, moving to musical appreciation and less "I don't like Morrisey's voice", despite his recent apparent racist nationalism. But a few of the songs on this album put this back a step as he is quite insufferable at times. A few of their classics are here but generally overshadowed by him being … him.

Rolling Stone's 407th greatest album of all time

When you compare the tracklisting of this triple-album to that of the Story of the Clash, it is clear this is not their best material. A triple-album is a brave move and has to be backed up with quality throughout. Sadly that isn't the case here. While it is a good enough listen, there is not a lot that stands out (mainly Magnificent Seven). For fans of dub and white men doing reggae. The version of Somebody Got Murdered is a travesty.
