"This is a classic tale of migrants set in the dust bowl of 1930s Oklahoma. Timely and urgent today, this sheds light on the humanity and hardships endured by good people, and the need for empathy for all people around the world who have loss everything, and must try to make a new life."

The idea behind the story is good, what happens when we are between life and death? Are regrets worth having. Shows that we should enjoy what we have instead of wasting time on what could have been. (0 more)
The ending is a very predictable and 'fluffy' definitely aimed more at the YA audience (0 more)
Interesting concept

A nice insight
This was an entertaining read and a good insight into Martin's life and career. It only goes up to 2013 but it contains some good reading. From Men Behaving Badly to Doc Martin this chronicles of one of the most recognised actors on british television. Well worth a read.

Great Sci-Fi film
A pretty good film, a sort of space disaster/thriller film as a crew set off for the Sun to drop a nuclear payload to kickstart it back to life and get Earth out of an Ice age. They are the 2nd team to set off, will they make it or suffer the fate off the 1st missing crew?
It has some good acting and SFX, the sets for the spaceship look very impressive and show some good ideas about the future of space travel. It's a bit slow to start but it makes up for this as things get more dramatic towards the end. Better than I expected it to be.

I loved this movie, but I thought the ending was stupid and kind of a cop out.

True but I like some of the ideas it has about space travel. Sets were impressive.

Extensive probe into racial hatred, murder and racial violence existing in the era. (2 more)
Superbly written and there's no holding back with the violence and language.
Incredibly good read, but it's a painful journey of life at that time.
This is an intricate story, reaching back through the generations of civil rights - gritty indeed.

More amazing characters created by [Sherryl D. Hancock]. She is a master at developing a realistic relationship through the words she writes on a page. [Everything to Everyone] is no exception. The idea of your first love coming back into you life is always a good one and the WeHo gang keeps growing.

A pretty decent black comedy/love story with a good amount of humour. Set in the swinging 60's in East London. The girls from the band All Saints star in this along side a good array of English acting talent. The girls look to rob places up town to get a better way of life for their family but get mixed up in all sorts of trouble way above their heads. An enjoyable film catch it if it's on.

A very good film with some young English actors. I'm not sure if this was a film made for TV but it has that feel to it. It's raw, gritty and brutal showing the life of a group of teenagers in West London. Unfortunately some scenes are quite true to what is going on with inner city teenagers today and the gang culture. Fades a little towards the end but still a good watch.......now to see the sequel Adulthood.

This was an excellent read! I loved the characters and the different perspectives we got the story from, not only the main characters but the supporting ones as well. I loved how the story showed how much of a difference one person can make in someone's life and how one choice can change the course of that person's life completely. Daniel and Natasha made me believe in true love and fate they made me feel like anything is possible which I think is the mark of a really good story.
