"'Billions'-esque saga of global financial market manipulation, at mind-boggling scale and hiding in plain sight, by a small cabal of bankers in London."

The best guide to create intentional astral projections. I've never made it through though. Lol. Highly recommend for anyone with qn interest. Even if you don't finish you'll learn meditation, focus, and energy manipulation skills.

Heartbreaking in so many ways
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is probably the most heartbreaking book of the entire series because we see Dimitri in a light that we really wish we didn't need to. We see him through the lense of Rose, so for a while there is still some attraction and romantisizm, but we later recognize the amount of abuse and manipulation this twisted form impacted their relationship.

The best part of the book is meeting the Belikova family. I truly wish that we got more time with them in the series.

"Given the current political climate, I have found myself picking up and flicking through “The Prince” on more than one occasion over the past year. It seems manipulation and questionable political conduct is very much alive and well! A fascinating study and still wholly relevant."

Thought provoking documentary
A fascinating insight into all things data related,mainly focusing on cambridge analytica and their misuse/manipulation of people.I admit I didn't follow this story when it was making headlines in the news but this documentary gave me a good insight into it.Definitely worth a watch.

Okay, so I did like this novel but I wanted more depth to the characters. I guess "On Dublin Street" has spoiled me. I also didn't like the manipulation in this novel but I guess that was something to be expected.

All in all, this was an okay quick read that was worth the $.99 that I paid for it.

Fresh take on dice game that retains excitement and addictive nature. Familiar brand and simple rules make it very accessible. Fast gameplay packs in a lot of meaningful decisions. Dice manipulation and speculation mitigate luck. SO MANY DICE. (0 more)

Good Luck based gateway game...
Here is some decisions to make, but everything depends on the dice. Roll well, win the game, roll poorly = lose.... unfortunately there is very little dice manipulation to change your luck if you don't like it. This game is super simple, and probably good for kids who want to feel a little more adult building a city. But this game could use a number of improvements before being a satisfying game for more gamers.
