Book Rating
This is my second book by Kate Perry and I have to admit I liked this one a lot more than the other. I may even be interested in reading the rest of the Summerhill stories because the sister have seriously grown on me.

I've been in a bit of a book slump lately and I kept starting books and then stopping because they weren't grabbing my attention. Then I started this, and though it was book 3 in the series I quickly caught up on it and fell into the story.

I liked it from the beginning, it was romance with a few naughty bits which is right up my street and I enjoyed reading Gigi and Merrick's story. They both became who they wanted to be and that bit at the end was really cute.

Yeah, I've been persuaded to carry on the series with Titania's story next, though I'm really wanting to read the one with Luca in :)

"I first encountered Kate Bush through 'Wuthering Heights'. I remember my sister rushed out and bought that single in 1978 so I was very aware of her. The Sex Pistols and Kate Bush were my formative music, not The Smiths and David Bowie, that came later. For me Hounds Of Love is the biggest influence on [Suede's] Dog Man Star. I love the way it's a record of two halves, and the second half is a concept record about fear of drowning. It's an amazing record to listen to really late at night, unsettling and really jarring. I always wanted to make a record that was a concept album but not in an ELP sense. I wanted to make one that had a musical coherence, and wasn't just ten songs stuck together but had this sense of journey, that took the listener to a new world. And that's the impact Hounds Of Love had on Dog Man Star."

"This is the most terrifying film I’ve ever seen. It’s a story about a quiet young woman named Carol Ledoux who is a manicurist in London. As the story unfolds we see that she is more and more disturbed and strange. We learn that she is sexually obsessed and actually repulsed by sex at the same time. Her sister and her sister’s lover share an apartment with her, and she’s more and more disgusted by hearing their lovemaking every night. When they leave London to vacation in Italy, she barricades herself in the apartment, and as the days pass she becomes more and more insane. The story escalates, but I won’t tell you the ending. It would spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. This film freaked me out so much that it was a long time before I could stay alone in my apartment—and I must admit, I’m still affected by it."
