My allegiances are conflicted

Another great development from this second part of the trilogy. Juliette had moments of being incredibly flaky in this book, but then I gave myself the proverbial slap around the face and reminded myself that she has had an awful childhood, prolonged captivity and is very mixed up. Adam seemed to be a more back seat character in this book and Warner made everything look triangular. Warner did seem more human and vulnerable and I'm trying to keep an open mind about him. Who knows where it's all going to end in book three. Well narrated.

The fourth book in the 'trilogy of five' that comprises The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, and (IMO) this is a strong contender for the best of the bunch.

In this one, Arthur Dent finds himself back on Earth (which has mysteriously re-appeared after earlier being demolished to make way for a Hyper-Space bypass), unaware that all the dolphins have disappeared - hence the title. In company with the only other human on the planet who seems aware that something has happened, and with Ford Prefect, they go in search of God's final message to creation ... and find it.

Gameplay

Good, but not exactly original.

A well made but dull addition to the Tomb Raider franchise.

The game itself is well made, but it has lost the charm of the original games. The game, like the first in the prequel trilogy, boasts its "free-roam" option, which doesn't really add much to the game or the story.

There's also very little in the way of tomb raiding, with tombs being fun challenges reminiscent of the original puzzles, but feeling like little more than an afterthought as something they should probably put in.

Just Because

The final book in the MILA trilogy. Great series overall for young adults. Fair warning though the ending is both touching and sad, defiantly worth the time it takes to read it.

MILA knows who and what she is but feels she needs to redeem herself for things done in her past. She makes it her personal goal to set out and stop General Holland once and for all. Sadly she has to make many tough decisions in the process of protecting the world from dangers no one knows are there, really how dangerous can an American teenager be?
