Not your typical war story
The characters in this book are rich, interesting, and wily. I say wily because at points in the book you hate them, but then they change, and you grow to love them. This story really makes you think about people differently. It's written with great subtlety and almost lyrically - very beautiful, poetic and quotable in places.
If you want a fast read, this book is not for you. If you only like happy endings this book is not for you. If you don't like experimental fiction, this book is not for you.

One prize.....12 fighters......only one will survive!
Ok so I happened to stumble upon this, as a fan of combat sports the cover caught my attention. The film is a British, hard hitting round by round, tournament fight fest, with plenty of action, blood and intensity.
My only problem is that the story is a little too weak although rich people betting on a single fighter doesn't really need explaining.
Winning fighter loots £500,000.


This is something I recommend viewers watch at least once if your able to find it.

Excellent film
The story is told through the eyes of Molly, who goes from Olympic skiing contender to the poker queen of the rich and famous. The film tells how Molly stumbles into the poker life and does all she can to keep hold of her game and fortune. Molly learns the hard way there are no friends being the queen and you never know what the next hand holds

Rumors of Yeshua and His healing power have reached a leper colony. Some of them venture outside to find Him and bring Him back. Will He come heal the rest? Will it be in time? The characters are rich and deep, which makes the climax powerful, but the story does drag at times.

"A rich and complex hypnogogic experience. Just where is this story taking place? In a dream, in memory . . . in the afterlife? Are these even questions that you can ask about a movie like this? Resnais structures the film in an ever looping pattern—everything turning in on itself again and again. The narrative seems to match the very patterns of how memory works. Every viewing reveals new layers of meaning previously unseen. A masterpiece."
