.: Incoming: Reviews :.

I've decided to give this blog a little more life and I will be doing short reviews of books as I finish reading them. I'll also keep a running list of what I'm working through.
W00t. Just what you wanted, eh?
Another "boring" blog with reviews.
Ah, well, everybody was doin' it. lol

I'd almost forgotten I created this. 2009 was a rather big year.
I won't even bother mentioning the sad things that happened at the start of this year.
On with 2010!

I'll admit that though I found the trailer hilarious, not to mention the snippets I caught on a film review show, I still had reservations about this film. It was meant to be a romantic comedy which, we all know, can often fail to meet expectations. Secondly, I've a limited impressions of Kutcher's acting ability; "That 70's Show", "Dude! Where's my car?" In typical Heigl style, we get 'crazy-awkward' fright from the start. Sure, after at least two films (that I've watched), I've long accepted that Heigl, having appeared so long on a tv show, has shown us all her emotional cards, thus, will inevitably always remind us of Isobel "Izzie" Stevens. However... What is it about this actress that brings out an air of Grey's Anatomy-esque humour to any movie she stars in? Speaking of humour - this movie didn't feel too forced to me, because the situations were unusual enough in themselves that they, at once, presented ...

Book: Waking The Witch Author: Kelley Armstrong Publisher: Orbit UK Opinion: We return to The Otherworld only to find that the feisty, coltish teenage daugther of Eve Levigne has now grown. And what a fine young woman she is. Now, no one could call her angel, but then she is her mother's daughter. To not beat the really dead "apples & trees" anecdote-horse. Never quite quite descending fully into the darkness, but toeing the line just enough to give us that tantalizing taste of the edge. When Savannah's presented with her first opportunity to fully lead a case of her own, she grabs it with both hands. Rocking up in the small, dying town, things begin to look oh so clear. As usual, te rug is repeatedly swept from under us. My favourite part. Savannah has a delicious encounter with another witch, which is right about when we really see just how like Eve she really is. Mos exciting is how Kelley is setting Savannah up as the narrator for the next book. (I believe...

Book: “Bo ne Crossed” Author: Patricia Briggs Publisher: Atom UK Opinion: Once again, we join the ever charming Mercedes, the VW Mechanic of the Tri-cities. In this volume, we see a softer side of Mercy's, as she becomes attached to a little boy. Mercy also manages to enrage the queen of the local vampire seethe, and Marsillia is one ruthless cookie. I really enjoyed the climax of this book but managed to stretch the book over a week so as not to finish it too quickly. I especially loved the showdown with the whole vampire seethe in attendance. No matter how often I’m reminded that in Brigg’s creation, the vamp’ers are truly evil, yet how can it be so, with someone like Stefan? Who could resist liking him, if only for his obsession with Scooby Doo. I do love this series. “Gimmie… Gimmie more… Gimmie, gimmie more…” ======================================================= Book: “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner – An Eclipse Novella” Author: Stephenie Meyers Publisher: At...
