Very interesting plot and unexpected ending
This novel was as strange as it is haunting. It lends itself to a very vivid picture, so much that I envisioned Matthew McConaughey as the perfect Terrance. The plot is unique and even though it is a short read it packs a hefty punch. Some of the internal monologue is a bit slow but it mostly keeps you guessing.

I read this first in spanish, didn't like it at all, so after Reading Laini Taylor's Strange the Dreamer and absolutely loving it, I decided to give this one another try this time in english, and that was the best desision I ever had. The writing style is gorgeus, the story it's original and I absolutely love the characters, specially Zuze.

Chloe returns to New Orleans after her father is shot in an accident, and wakes up the next morning in a strange hotel room with a corps. What's going on? This book grabbed me from page one and didn't let me go until the very end.

Andy finds herself developing the website for the next Martha Stewart. However, strange accidents are befalling the egoistical star. Who has it in for her? The first quarter of the book is very slow, but once the story picks up and action and characters are great.

This book was interesting. But it was a bit creepy. I did enjoy it though. It something different. If you enjoy the story about Christianity. Then this a book for you. I was a little creepy out by it but not horribly. I am not starting it a bad book. I did like it but I it gave me a bit of strange dreams.
  
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first Agatha Raisin and I loved every bit of it.

The book is very funny and suspenseful and starts with a fake severed leg and a very angry donkey
(For some strange reason I originally put goat. I start I know the difference!)

I always seem to mix this up with Blue Velvet for some reason?
A pretty decent thriller with a lot of well known faces. It's about a drifter making out to be a hitman, but things go from strange to worse when he finds out who the client is and and the real hitman shows up. Worth a look next time it comes on TV.

I am going base this rating on this movie as if i have never seen the original (classic animation).

The visual aspect of this film is incredible, but the characters lack something. It just does not feel right. My son who has never seen the original even mention that as well. He said it feels strange and dose not flow, then ask can we watch the cartoon.

This movie was what I expected... weird. The song and cinematography were good. The story, however was a strange crazed scientist/baron using human body fluids to stay alive until he can continue his bloodline(purely?)through his daughter. Anyway, it had plenty of creep factor and decent effects(nothing too high end but good). Ok horror flick for a boring rainy day. Worth a watch.
