Dirty Secret is the story of Allie and Vaughn. A light hearted and entertaining story of love. I enjoyed reading the combination of love and sport. Kelly added to my love of Hockey, and I appreciated the inclusion of the locker room banter.

From one memorable night, and a long remembered teenage crush, to a story of love, passion and secrets which change everything. Reading the perspective of Allie, always putting her brother first, it was wonderful to see her take something for herself, and seeing the change in Vaughn from his attitude on the ice, to his warmth with Allie.

Definitely worth the read and the five stars in my opinion.

"I just really responded to the performance of Zbigniew Cybulski. This is the story of someone who spends their young life in the sewers of Warsaw knowing nothing but war, and then carrying that life without any real reason for living other than continuing on as an urban warrior, falling in love with a bar maid, too late in your life, and essentially discovering lust and passion and maybe the love of his life — in the same day that his life catches up to him and kills him. [Director Andrzej] Wadja is one of my favorite filmmakers. I love Canal and all of the whole trilogy, but Ashes and Diamonds is a film I still think about."

Listening to this as an audiobook/MP3 CD was the only way I was going to read this. It's not my usual read at all. I like my vampire stories but I love them to have romance in them, this was very low on that--at least in the respect I mean. There's lot of mentions of love and passion but I think they meant it in the sire/fledgling way--I think anyway.

I haven't seen the film and I'm not thinking of watching it anytime soon, though it may be something I enjoy more that way than by reading/listening to it.

Not my kind of book but at least I've read/listened to it.

"Once, visiting friends in San Francisco, a bookcase came loose from the wall and fell on me. Three people came running in from another room when they heard the crash and saw me sprawled on the floor beneath a mountain of books. Did they say, “Are you all right?” No. In unison, they all said, “Howards End!” That memory, and a recent PBS re-doing (even better than the excellent Merchant Ivory film) of Forster’s novel, have renewed my passion for this book. Its searing depiction of class differences, the wit of its dialogue, and the description of that vine-covered house—no wonder they fought over it!—go together to make this one of my favorites."

Twisted Swan
Black Swan- is a excellent psychological horror thriller. Darren Aronofsky does a excellent job playing the views minds. Natalie Portman does a excellent job.

The plot: Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina whose passion for the dance rules every facet of her life. When the company's artistic director decides to replace his prima ballerina for their opening production of "Swan Lake," Nina is his first choice. She has competition in newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis) however. While Nina is perfect for the role of the White Swan, Lily personifies the Black Swan. As rivalry between the two dancers transforms into a twisted friendship, Nina's dark side begins to emerge.

Its a excellent film and a must watch.
