Hmm...This started amazingly well, and I felt the initial connection between them, though on further thought later on in the book it could have just been Austin being good at what he does. But nevertheless I was pulled into the book at the beginning and I loved how it progressed into more.

The thing I wasn't so keen on was how he carried on doing it with other people. It just didn't seem right to me. I understood why but no.

The epilogue perked my rating up a half star.

Based on true events about a multiple homicide in mid 20th century America, the book explores the reasons and the consequences of the event. The reader faces dilemma of being horrified and dispising the reasonless act of crime; pity to those left behind and lives lost as well as feeling simpathetic to the criminals and seeing their human side.
Capotes writing is brilliant. Nothing like his other famous work Breakfast at Tiffany's, but nonetheless no less breathtaking.
I recommend watching a movie Capote after reading to find out how the book came to be.

Condescending nature of librarian character
Contrived lecturing
Nice concept but dull
I listened to this on audiobook and though I would enjoy the narration by Carey Mulligan. However, I found the writing so repetitive and the character of the librarian so condescending and lecturing that it ended up being a DNF for me. Shame as I liked the premise and it's exploration of mental health. I also liked Haig's previous books which were quirky and well-written but this one just didn't meet the mark for me.

I have so much love for Alien
One of my favourite horror movies! The xenomorph looked fantastic and after seeing how it was all made, it makes it so much more impressive. this movie builds tension so well and Ripley is one of my favourite heroines of all time. Jones also being my favourite animal hero of all time of course. I don't think i could think of a more amazing horror monster than a chest bursting, face hugging, scary motherfucker xenomorph. it will be giving nightmares still for years to come.

Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief review
This book is such an amazing, attention gripping story about the adventure of half blood Percy Jackson. The link between the real world and the fantasy world of Greek mythology makes this novel stand out amongst others, it makes the whole plot of the story much more exciting as well as being educational about Greek beliefs in mythology.

Album Rating Watch
Solid sophmore effort from Liam Gallagher
This is a solid album that falls under the singer/songwriter genre. Basic adilt contemporary sound with each song being well constructed. While the whole album is an easy listen, only 2 songs standout for me Shockwave, which opens the album with a catchy hook, and Halo which is a bit more upbeat and cheerful than the rest of an album.

It gets lost in the sea of hundreds albums like this, but a good effort and worth it for fans of Gallagher and Oasis
