"The thriller; superstitions, New Orleans, Mickey Rourke, a barefoot Lisa Bonet in soft white eyelet cotton dresses on sandy roads… The sex scene where the blood drips from the ceiling, intercut with the boy on the street tap dancing for change… Ceiling fans."

"I saw this movie as an adolescent in the late fifties, at the Bay Theatre in Pacific Palisades, and it made me feel strange things I’d never felt before . . . I also thought that Brigitte Bardot was the number-one sex kitten on earth."

"This charming glimpse of the lives of the residents of a small Italian town paints a well-balanced picture of Fellini’s hometown. The characters are funny and unique. The stories are original. And the teenagers are as obsessed with sex as I was. :)"

Rolling Stone's 472nd greatest album of all time
A brilliant album, with a wide range of songs. From the anthemic Faith to the soft pop of Father Figure to the filthy sex songs. A great listen overall and a demonstration of his diversity.

Didn't Match Up
This book is about first love, and having a physical relationship for the first time. Normally I enjoy cute love stories, but this was a little flat. The topic and themes were solidly YA, but the writing style is more middle grade. This made the characters come across as younger than what they were. I think if the book had focused more on the emotional aspects of their relationship it would have been better. Unfortunately it was mostly about their sex life. The one up side is that the book did put a lot of emphasis on safe sex.

I just have recently read it. I try to rate things based off of the intended audience, however I grew up in a house hold that was always very open about sex. That could have made a difference. I just know this isn't a book I would give my 13yo sister if she came to me asking questions.

When I grew up, sex was a forbidden topic other than, Wait until you're married." It's no wonder my older sisters got pregnant before marriage. Most of my instruction came from reading my older sister's magazines and my Mom's medical reference book. Thankfully, I was able to avoid teen pregnancy. I bought condoms and kept them in my purse so I could have them on hand when I went out with my boyfriend and I got on the pill when I was 15 or 16. I'm a huge proponent of safe sex. Knowledge is power.

It’s hard to look at Sex & The City now and not see four women who absolutely hated each other, but the first film in the series was actually pretty good. The less said about Sex and the City 2 the better. Although Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) wedding plans don’t go quite as she would have imagined them, the lead up to the ceremony itself is a reason to give this flick a watch. The fashion, the cast and Carrie’s almighty dress is pure American wedding excellence.

Got this whilst it was free on promotion. It was a good enough premise but I think, for once, I'd liked to have had a bit more story and a little less sex. It was good, but a sex scene or two could have been removed and replaced with deeper character development, or perhaps none sexual interaction. For that reason and the reason that I saw several errors in the book, ie words jumbled in a few sentences, I gave it 4 stars. I might be a little generous but it was a good storyline and I enjoyed it.
