GREAT movie, if you like the enduring struggle and tribulations during a very tough time in history. Loved, laughed and cried during many parts of the movie. That's a what a great movie does; evoke emotion. ..and I was truly moved. thanks to all the people who had a part in the making of this work! Outstanding!!!

OMG, I was horrified by the torture scenes graphically described as actual snuff films were made!  Who really craves this type of brutality? I'm still reeling and shocked, though the writer is talented,the story went much too far for me.

I love Extreme. Nuno Bettencourt is my guitar hero. I have seen him play at various venues at least ten times. I whined about the quality of the video and bought three more  to check out the nature of the vid and they are all the same. It is just me being hypercritical. If you are an Extreme fan,
do yourself a favor and check out Extreme "Take Us Alive" Boston 2009. It is live and it is FANTASTIQUE!
Danke.

OMG!  Crap just got too real!!  I so can't wait to find out what the Hell is going on.  This series just took a wild twist....enough said, no spoilers from these lips!

What a crazy ride!  A short tease of a Book 1 character, a longer tease of several other Book 1 characters, then a new character with yet another new and interesting direction.  Lots of twists, turns, and WTFs.  I'm enjoying the entire Apocalypse Weird universe.  The journey is crazy, but the scenery is very interesting.  This has joined Robertson's "Breakers" and Sisavath's "Babylon" series as must reads.  If you like dystopian craziness, read this series!

What is wrong with people???!!! The ratings said how great this was...NOT! Crime, drugs,strippers being drugged, women forced to have rough sex and being manipulated and threatened, men who lower themselves to the devil for money.
This world is one hell of a mess, WHY would anyone want to read about such disgusting behaviors! Triggers and then some big time!!!

We can all agree that the plot of this story is completely preposterous, right? I mean, it's next-level preposterous, and this is coming from someone who loves Kresley's IAD series, featuring vampires, werewolves, demons, and all sorts of otherwordly entities. But, Kresley's stories are always fun, and even when I found myself laughing at some of the more ridiculous scenes ("Take my credit card, darling. You didn't spend enough money yesterday. I just earned another billion dollars. Spend more. MORE! You're not trying to spend frivolously enough!), she still swept me along.

BTW, I know a hallmark of all of Kresley's male characters is extreme possessiveness (not my cup of tea, but that's OK), but Dmitri was just too much. Beating Victoria's ex, bloodying his hands from pounding walls, and extreme stalking of Victoria, etc. Let's dial it back a bit next time, OK, Kresley?

I don't even know where to begin...it is as the author said, it's not a love story. The love in this book soooo went wrong!  It's raw. Its intense. I couldn't put it down!

I hated Twitch with a passion and fell for the bastard too. I could see where his hatred came from, even though it was misguided. As children we see things differently and it's not until we are older, do we realize the truth. I read in another review, why couldn't Lexi put things together? She should have figured it out. Hello, who wants to remember a messed up childhood! I'm glad that in the end, she proves to be as strong as I knew she was. We are all built differently and in this, it shows.

The ending....WHY????!!!!! I'm so mad but I totally frickin understand. I hate it but I get it. I was put off with a few of the reviews I had read before hand, and honestly....I'm so glad I like to have my own opinion. I decided to hell with it and read it anyway. I'm so glad I did. My only question now is....WHERE'S THE SECOND BOOK?

The riot of characters have come together for another amazingly crazy story that will have you doubled in snorts and giggles. And not even the drone-catching-hawk can prepare you for the adventure of this mystery-shopper! But, since you've followed this family's story, maybe you might have an idea!

So, cancel your appointments, call in sick from work, shut down your TV, because you will definitely not get anything done until you've finished reading this!!!

I was provided a copy for review purposes.

Hee hee, it's funny looking over some of these reviews. :D  The left is clearly in a state of shock.  They think they have suffered a defection, and the tribal gods have clearly been insulted.  Now they are at pains to prove that Crichton is a heretic, an apostate, and an Anti-Christ.

Of all the super-sacred cows you cannot challange, global warming has to be top-gun right now.  You can't even look skeptically at the subject without drawing the ire of Liberals.  So sacred is this subject that you dare not make it a topic of an entertaining sci-fi thriller which is just ment to be a fun read.  This is the  key point the Left is having trouble with.  Mike has always done fun books which have been somewhat marginal if you try to push the science to far.  Look at Congo, for Christ sake!

For you hippie whompbats out there: Take a chill pill!  Smoke some dope! Hold a 70's style orgy!  Chant Mantras to the dolphin spirits floating in the age of Aquarius.  Do whatever you hippie-burnouts have to do in order to control your freak-out.

Crichton is quite right when he points out that the great fly in the ointment of the Global Warming theory is this:  The last mini-ice age ended more than 500 years ago.  The industrial revolution only began about 200 years ago. The planet had been warming for more than 300 years without dense human populations, fossil fules, heavy machinery, or smoke-stack industries.

The Lefties hate it when you bring up this concrete fact, because it constitutes such a tremendous bullet-hole in their theory.  You have to admit that there have been a lot of ecological prophets of doom running around for the past 45 years.  They have always spoken of serious on-rushing catastrophy.

Wow! I was not prepared for DIRTY... It was heavy! I was expecting something "Dirty", but that's not all I got. I am always interested in the meaning behind the title of a book and I really look forward to that moment of clarity, because in a good book, there is always a definitive moment the reader can say: Ah-ha, this is where the title came from... There is, of course, a very good reason for the title, but I'm not going to ruin it for you--you'll just have to read it!

Why is it okay for men to be promiscuous? Why r they considered studs and women whores? When Elle attends a sex toy party at a friend's house, they play a daring game of 20 questions--all explicit about sexual situations and experiences. Elle does as she usually does and lies about pretty much everything. For instance, she has had sex with 78 men (like she would tell that truth to a room full of strangers). Don't tell me you wouldn't judge the girl at a sex party who admits to sleeping with that many men--YIKES! Women are conditioned to lie about such things in our society because they are in fear of being ostracized--becoming an outcast and judged for their actions. What a slut! No one typically stops to ask why is she acting out like this...what is she trying to make herself feel better about?

Elle is so consumed with self loathing she isn't even living her life. Even when the saintly Dan comes along (love him, he deserves a medal) and slowly sweeps her off her feet, she tries every way possible to push him away. I felt like Dan was taming a wild animal...slowly coaxing Ella into life one painfully slow step at a time. Obviously there is a reason she feels she doesn't deserve to be happy and I couldn't put the darn book down until I found out WHY?? This book is about sexual prowess, sexual exploration and acceptance.

When I finished reading DIRTY, I wasn't sure how to categorize it...after some deliberation, I realized I need a shelf for dark and sexy books that lack the "fluffy" tone that frequently accompanies erotic novels. Are there scenes in DIRTY that light your pants on fire?  Most definitely!  DIRTY is so much more than an erotic read, it is more like a great drama with some great sex and a lot of emotion...an erotic drama. Get it! Read it!

I respect and admire this author for her excellent stories.  I believe I've read everything she has written and have enthusiastically shared them with others.  However, this book is quite different.  It is the most graphically violent book I have ever read (perhaps that speaks in part  to my preference).  It was disturbing and unforgettable.  Because of this, I feell strongly that there should be an advisory about that.  It's not your typical wartime violence.  It is torture and mayhem.  To be honest, I skimmed in a couple of spots.  This is because as one author said, I seem to "get books all over myself".  I don't just walk away.  I wear what I read.  This is why I am selective about what I read.  I still enjoyed the book, as I have each by this writer.  But I took a star off, because to me, the violence was overboard.  Too much.  Yes, these things happen.  A lot of horrible things happen.  Unspeakable things.  That doesn't mean we should focus on the details of the horror.  Of course, others will most likely disagree, which is fine.  This is strictly my opinion.  I was also a bit frustrated with the ending.  It just  didn't satisfy.  We went through, well, you know,  with this couple.  I wanted a lot more resolution!  I hope this is merely a departure and not a trend.  I do recommend the book, but with an advisory warning.

Wow, so much hype from everything I read and all for nothing. Sin and Punishment is listed by multiple reviewers as being intense, insane, NON-STOP WTFBBQ! awesome. In reality, you hold down the b-button the entire time while occasionally using the nun chuck to evade the seriously impossible.

++++: If you are a die hard Sin and Punishment fan or a living on the rails kind of shooter go for it!

----: Another piece of bloatware for the Wii novelty.
This is especially not any fun co-op as the second person literally isn't in the first stage, then just holds down the b-button from then on.
I fought Rodan but never saw Godzilla! BOOOO!
Cut scenes are horrendous along with the plot... which you would only understand if you played the first Sin and Punishment

GASP!!!
I embarked on the Indebted Series 1-3: with the knowledge.

That I would be plummeted, captivated, seduced, enthralled and basically mind blowing! Hell I didn't know that it was going to be a 123 punch! A guttural slam dunk!  Swift, all encompassing at some points.  Which assaults your senses almost like a drug, a haze, a mist defying  neuron.  Only to propels you to a new level.
That leaves you spellbound, speechless, mindless, heart thrumming, void of any present day knowledge and feeling hungover!  A virtual sinuate of ecstasy and desire!
