Good descriptions of the setting but I felt character development was flat, like pulled from a psychology textbook. I also felt the storyline was a bit trite. Do not expect any surprises or plot twists. It was good enough for me to keep reading though and life in Alaska seems like a very powerful experience.

Got my attention
Quite a good story about the seedy life of strip clubs in America and the girls that work there and the type of customers. I did have to stop what I was doing and concentrate on the film. Enjoyable

A Christmas film to miss
If you are looking for a GOOD feel good Christmas movie, give this a miss. I struggled to watch this to the end, and I am a self confessed Christmas movie junkie.
The acting is poor, stilled and stunted. The story line is sickeningly bad and very unbelievable. The only semi good thing was the beautiful house, scenery and town.
There are a couple of familiar faces (one being the female doc from Stargate) but even that didn't make the film watchable.
Life is short, we all want to sit down and watch a good Christmas movie, this not the one you want.

Book Favorite

"In keeping with the dystopian theme. Murakami is always good and I am reading this right now. It’s like someone is using his fantasy to escape the dystopia of modern life. It’s like he’s accepted the way the world is, and he can’t fight it, so he delves into his inner world as way of negotiating the realities of life through his own fantasies."

It wasn't as good as the first season
To be honest i didn't finish the season. Season 1's villain was so good i found myself wishing he'd come back to life. Or maybe i was brain washed? Either way i don't plan on finishing the last 2 episodes.

Ekene is a singer-songwriter and producer from Nigeria. Not too long ago, he released a charming Afrobeat tune, entitled, “Good Girl”.

“She get everything I want. I love my lady. I no go lie. She be the real fine lady. Wey dey blow ma mind. She nor dey stress me o. She no dey form. My Nigerian woman, nwanyi ọma.” – lyrics

‘Good Girl’ tells an adorable tale of a young guy who cherishes the special Nigerian woman in his life. Apparently, she’s a beautiful good girl who has everything he wants and much more.

Therefore, he loves her wholeheartedly because she gives him peace of mind and doesn’t stress him out.

‘Good Girl’ contains a relatable storyline and pleasing vocals. Also, the song possesses rhythmic instrumentation flavored with Afrobeat, world, and tropical-dance elements.

“Good girls make the world go ‘round. The song is basically bragging about how life is easy for a man who has a good girl in his life.” – Ekene

Ekene was born in Lagos State and raised in his hometown Ibusa, Delta State. Also, as a music producer, he is known as Keasungs.

What a good book! Vivian and Molly are both strong women who have faced/are facing many challenges in life. The relationship they build and the way they help each other is inspiring. I'm glad I read it.

Good vs evil. People of all ages, from all walks of life, coming together to "stand". (0 more)
The title says it all, on which side will you STAND?
I have loved​ this book from the first moment I picked it up and couldn't put it down, over 20 years ago . How could you not love a epic novel about the end of the world and the fight between good and evil? The characters are so very human, just a few on the side of good, the matriach, the unwed mother, the good ol' boy, the deaf mute, the judge, the soul singer. The demon/devil, ex-con, former cop, party girl, crazy arsonist are just a few on the dark side. They survive the plague and then have to take a "stand" (and pick a side) and survive the war between good and evil.
