Lightnin' And The Blues by Lightnin Hopkins
Lightnin' And The Blues by Lightnin Hopkins
(0 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"He released records on numerous labels, but this album was on the Herald imprint, and it features a song called Moving Out Boogie that alone is worth the price of admission. He kind of talks his way through it – it’s not really singing in the traditional sense – but the guitar playing could wake the dead. What he does in two and a half minutes on the guitar is enough to make you want to throw your fuzz and wah-wah pedals as far away as you can. Just toss 'em over the fence! If you can play Moving Out Boogie with even a third of the spirit of Lightnin’ Hopkins, then you just might have a chance. It’s the way to move, man. He played it like he wanted to play it. Our fair bassist, Dusty Hill, worked with Lightnin’ Hopkins a bit, and one time he said, ‘You know, Lightnin’, you seem to play in odd time signatures. One verse will be eight bars, and the next will be 10 bars.’ And Lightnin’ just said, ‘It don’t matter. Lightnin’ changes when Lightnin’ wants to change"

Rand (the main character) barely appears in this part of the series, which is good news as he's starting to get quite annoying.
Mat really starts to become the reluctant hero he truly is, and Perrin starts to show signs of what he is to become as well.
This is a fairly important part of the series with a number of conflicts with the Dark One's forces, including the Black Ajah and some of the Forsaken.
At this stage, the series is still moving apace and is thoroughly enjoyable.
  
Many of us will have seen the photographs and moving images of those 2 little girls at the head of a line of survivors walking out of Auschwitz and many of us, me included, would have asked ourselves "I wonder who they are, where they came from, how they survived that nightmare and where are they now?"; this book sheds light on all those questions and introduces you to a very brave little girl.

Wonderful cinematography
Complexity of human relations
Another beautiful film from the master Almodovar
Pedro Almodovar has such a wonderful eye for understanding the human condition. Unlike his more outlandish colourful films, this is about the tragic relationships of estranged families and the breakdown in communications. Written in the perspective of a mother whose daughter left or went missing 12 years previously, the film shows her writing a letter to her daughter about all the mistakes she made in that relationship including erasing her from her life. Really very moving and poignant.

Wow! Just Wow!
I am always skeptical of movie adaptations. Most of the time, there are many things that do not hold up to the book and make the movie hard to watch. That was not the case with this movie! The writers and directors did an amazing job at staying as accurate to the book as possible. They really brought it to life. I was sobbing almost the entire movie because of how moving and powerful the acting was!

this is such an intense story from the beginning. This author has a fab way of writing which will keep your heart pumping till the very last page. This is definitely an emotional and moving story. This book has fantastic characters, you'll be rooting for as you read. The more I read from this author the better they get. I cant wait to read more from them in the future.

Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

The soundtrack!
The message that being different is good and should be celebrated as much as normality is.

LOVED IT
Contains spoilers, click to show
I'm only adding to my negative thing, but it contains spoilers so I'm writing it here - Jenny was a complete b*tch. She knew she was just an act to Barnum. He did let her know at the beginning. What was the point in moving in on him? He introduced her to his wife and daughters!

Loved this book. Expertly switches between being suspenseful, funny, moving, and downright scary. Packed with little inside references to other books that somehow only serve to make it feel more special, and I was highly amused by the little trick the author frequently used with chapter titles. The lead is highly likeable, the circumstances she is thrust to a perfect blend of frightening and awe-inspiring, and the villain is easily one of the most memorable in years. Anyone with even a passing interest in true works of horror should not miss this epic book.
