Reality Check in Detroit

The Screech Owls are back with a new adventure and lesson. I love how [Roy MacGregor] mixes hockey with a life lesson in his books. In [Reality Check in Detriot] the team is asked to be on a reality show but they quickly learn that reality tv isn't that real.

The characters that [MacGregor] creates all blend well and keep a good balance in the story. Although I personally can't stand Nish and his ego but he is typical of boys that age. Travis is a good balance. I will be passing this book off to my niece to read and recommending that my school library get it at well.

Dark Gritty murder, good characters, great cast (0 more)
Not what i Expected
A dark and gritty movie set in 19th Century London. Its basically a murder hunt with a lot of clever plot twists and side stories. The central 'detective' character is played by the brilliant Bill Nighy and it is he who must ascertain whether Olivia Cooke's character had good cause to murder her husband or whether she did murder him at all. It flows very well and you will find yourself drawn into the main characters life which is far from flawless. Well worth a watch if you enjoyed Michael Caine's Jack the Ripper.

A tedious lifeless film
Contains spoilers, click to show
This crime drama based which is based on a real life incident had the potential to be really good but it turned out to be a dull and boring.A good cast in ethan hawke,mark strong and noomi rapace were wasted.

We start off with kaj (hawke) holding up a bank in Stockholm with the intention of getting his friend gunnar (strong) out of prison.Kaj turns out to be pretty rubbish at being a robber and the hostages (mainly rapace) end up having to help them out and with this we eventually find out how the phrase "stockholm syndrome" came about.

Wow.

Without reiterating the story line all I will say is that this is a good read. If this author cannot bring a tear to your eye- or at the very least- pull on your heartstrings you have no soul lol.

I don't think I could have read this book at a more appropriate time in my life-- I tend to always take something away from Sparks' books that help enlighten a situation in mine or a loved-ones life. I have learned a great many lessons throughout his fiction.

He is by far one of the great storytellers of our time.

Daughter of Persephone ( Cerberus book 1)
By Helen Scott

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Poppy is nothing special.

She was making ends meet and trying to enjoy life. But a strange necklace caught her eye at the thrift store. Now, three gorgeous men have stumbled into her life, and she's torn between being terrified and excited. That is until they tell her she is the future queen of the Underworld.

Not only that, but she needs to bond with her hellhounds, the three heads of Cerberus, and protect the Underworld from a goddess who wants it for herself. Forced to face unnatural enemies, and too-sexy-for-their-own-good men, Poppy must choose: keep the life she's always had or take her rightful place as queen.

If she survives.



Wasn’t sure I was going to like this! Although I love my Greek mythology themed books! I was actually surprised it was good the running theme is similar to a lot of those that I’ve read but it still made an enjoyable read. It’s certainly a series I’ll see through.
