A Real Piece of Art
Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds is an enduring classic, with stunning storytelling lyrics & drama building music aplenty. From the first bars I was hooked from first listen.
This takes the story to a new level, with a narration from the velvety voice of Richard Burton - it transports you from the fear of the unknown, to the depths of terror and finishes with hope and the sheer resilience of the human spirit. Great as a whole and some real stand out pieces, Forever Autumn being a hit in it’s own right & The Eve of the War being the ring tone choice of many (including me). Just unmissable.

A Wonderdul Journey into the Tao
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although, it didnt provided the actual text of the Tao Te Ching it did offer the lessons it brings forth, explaining these lessons through the art of storytelling. I appreciated how he organized these lessons throughout the book as well, starting off with the easier of the lessons to learn and further sorting them into sections that hold common themes. I was able to glide easily through the reading, understanding even the harder of the lessons through the stories being told, using the stories as almost a guide in explaining the lesson.

Amazing world
This book is probably the book I've read the most. 11 times now I think. Or is it 12.
I love it so much because it is such an amazing world to escape to.

Brilliant study of two very different boys that follows their very different paths as they try to escape the slums of the favela.
The story is visceral and unflinching in its violent and frantic storytelling, which can be jarring, not an easy film to watch, but an important one, in a word, masterful!

For one, I'm glad this was realistic. It's was pretty good storytelling and it was quickly paced. I <3 Michael Pena in everything. Michael Shannon did a great job too, and I like watching Chris Hemsworth in general. It wasn't Black Hawk Down good, but it was good enough to warrant another viewing.
