It took a little longer than some of my other reads, but I really enjoyed this. I accidentally started to read a review and it said about a twist for Nick and wow. Yeah. <br/><br/>Hard read but really good.

...and that great Dalek story comes to its inevitable conclusion, but with a twist, that means David Warner's character may not be done yet! (which leaves me excited, since I love David Warner so much.) For a complete review, visit www.travelingthevortex.com.

Mumford re-ignited the folky genre with this album, bringing us their folky twist. (2 more)
Passionate, well written and excellently performed tracks.
I think, for me, this is still their first and best album.
Mumford's debut album - a plethora of folky tunes.

When you throw a Greek god in a Norse land. It is spectacular and the beginning of two myths combining.

A very good ghost story and you do not see the twist coming. What it even more interesting was watching a documentary on how it was made and all I will say is keep looking out for the colour red.

Love this trick taking game. Fairly simple to learn and quick to play. Something we break out while waiting for players to show. If you like spades Skull King adds a fun twist. Scoring is the most difficult part to learn.

Good series, once you get past the first couple of episodes
Good series, played tricks on your eyes with the "things" in the backgrounds and the room at the end was an awesome twist that left me questioning what I'd seen

I wasn't sure where this would lead, but I enjoyed the journey. The twist was shocking, and I cried, but at least it all made sense. And it was necessary, based on how things unfolded.

I certainly recommend this book!
