Hats off to Max Power for putting together a truly riveting story.

As I made my way through Darkly Wood, I felt as if I were a silent guest that was able to peer into every nuance of the story.  This book is very well written and highly entertaining.  Even if you are not into this genre, I truly believe that you will walk away feeling like your mind was given a great workout.

There are scenes that make you smile, some that make you cower, and many that leave you on edge for what's coming up on the next page.

This is an original work that simply must be read.  I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy it, especially the many twists ... all the way till the very end.

I am looking forward to reading more of this authors work.  Bravo Max!  Very well done!!

I recently saw this on the Independent Film Channel.  What a great film!  I was very moved by it.  I watch a lot of foreign and oddball movies - this one falls into both categories, but I don't mean oddball in a bad way.  The subject matter is definitely different and was handled in a mature, intelligent way - this story would have been ruined if it was made in America.  (just my opinion, folks!)  I highly recommend this movie.  It's a complex, emotional, involving story for grownups.  A very refreshing change from mainstream US films.

Two people told me about this book, and since I respect their taste, I bought it. I LOVE IT!!  I'm a real mystery buff, and haven't read anything quite like this. I thought the Inspector Shan books by Eliot Pattison were unusual (and wonderful), but this is a whole new (to me) concept. I was so taken with the primary character, Dr. Siri, that I bought all, but the most recent (2016) sequels.  The story  takes place, mostly  in Laos, during the 1970's. The characters are so varied, their personalities so delightful and interesting, that I ended up reading all the sequels as well - I am hooked completely. The mysteries are wonderfully varied, and take place in Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, etc., with references to early years in Paris....it's all there! This series is classic, one of a kind in every way. I was very much alive during the Viet Nam war, so I have enough memories of that time. This book puts a whole new, different and valid perspective on that whole era. You understand what the people had to endure, and how they survived...and you're also seeing a side not seen before. With all the serious plots, there is marvelous humor and lots of satire - brilliant! I recommend this book (the whole series) most strongly. Can't remember the last time I was so in love with such a charming, clever character. Do yourself a real favor and read the book - you'll want the rest of them too.

WOW!  This was not what I was expecting.  What a fantastic piece of film!  Every character is motivated by love, both in all its negative and positive motivations.  Rarely does one witness in modern day cinema that, in the end, all characters opted to rise to the occasion and do the absolute correct and loving action while knowing their hard limits.  This is one that questions you really to take a moment and ponder how all of us could really improve our situations if we lead with our hearts/gut and not with our ego/brain.  I hope many more people get the chance to enjoy this GEM, it seems a pity that it was not more broadly viewed while in distribution but with any luck, people will take the time to view it in their own homes!

I highly, highly recommend this engaging, entertaining and keep coming back because you want more and more book!

Its been a while since I picked up a book I couldn't (and didn't want to) put down. This romantic meets mystery novel is very well written and keeps you guessing right up until the very end. The twists and turns and then how it all comes together at the end is brilliant. A little cheesy at the very end but 5 stars for sure from me!

Enjoy!!!

An outstanding and inspiring glimpse into human nature. A real eye-opener. I really recommend you check this out and then watch the movie. Very short, it will only take you a couple of hours to get through, but very profound and worthwhile.

This movie is not only great as a musical, but it has superb acting by Lisa Stansfield and an interesting story.  No doubt that the music is the best thing about it.  The British slang/lingo will keep you on your toes when it come to listening to the dialog.
It's got music, romance, good plot, credible acting, well-paced direction and an all around feelgood, overcoming obstacles vibe.
Considering that studios will release just about anything on DVD, I sure hope they will put this hidden gem on the little shiny video disk, and also include some extras.
If you buy this movie - you will enjoy it!

I was given this novel in exchange for an honest review. I didn't think much about it, when I started reading but I was really surprised at how similar we all are - our feelings are all the same, we just grew up facing different rules and traditions. What you do with it, is the question. Are you brave enough to stand up for what you believe in or will you bend to the old ways out of fear for the consequences? You won't believe how much this novel can alter your view of the Iraqi that is probably stuck in your mind thanks to the media. It is a fantastic and entertaining story of Suham who finds her nephew Michael a wife. This is the real thing, what goes on behind the curtains of what you are forced to believe. You will feel with both Suham and Michael and wonder about his decision regarding his marriage-to-be. I find this book a must read for people whose thoughts are poisoned by the media. I highly recommend it either way! It's a nice and suspenseful story in itself - not just a revelation.

4 very good Stars!

I thought this novel was extremely engaging and thought-provoking. I'm not a big sci-fi fan but I liked this book...a lot!!! The characters really came to life and the concepts presented about the universe and our place in it were very interesting. I REALLY enjoyed the unique addition of having the video segments available to view on line just by scanning the qr code and then you get to see a live version of Dicky. VERY impressive and creative!!!!

I absolutely loved it!! My expectations were very low when I bought it, but it actually turned out to be fantastic! Shahrukh is at his humorous best in this one. I watched it back to back cause it was absolutely wonderful. I don't remember the last time I laughed so much. Easily one of the best ones with Shahrukh.

Its about a young man with a dream to be his own boss. But reality is, he works for a boss who manipulates him and in a way doesn't allow him to be his own man so to speak. But on the other hand, Shahrukh is brilliant and doesn't allow himself to be a victim. His constantly talking his boss into giving him huge amounts of money for the work that he does and he isn't shy about stating what is in his mind, he just covers it up very quickly with wit and charm. Seriously, buy it. Its very uplifting and just hugely entertaining.

I highly recommend checking out this film.  Intriguing premise and great performances.  It's not your popcorn blockbuster film, but it has that "real" feel to it.

The film follows four different storylines that all come together at a dinner party to honor a deceased grandfather.  It's a great ensemble cast where the performances are very strong from top to bottom.  Larisa Oleynik is a standout and it's great to see her transition into a more mature role.  I wasn't really familiar with Corri English before this film, but I'm going to go and see everything I can with her now - I loved her in this.  Jonathan Murphy, Jason George and Devon Gummersall shine in their supporting roles.

You can tell the filmmakers took a lot of time and care with the music.  I'm a big fan of Joshua Radin and his song was a beautiful choice to end the film with.  In a sea of big budget films, I'm glad there are still character driven indie's being made.

I can not recommend "The Secret" highly enough.  I came across it when the DVD was recommended by several friends... I saw the DVD, was awestruck and naturally was hungry for more. The audio book sure did deliver!!!  The speakers on this CD are world class and the theories, recommendations and science are cutting edge and sound.... don't hesitate... you have nothing to lose ..  It is all gain... Watch the DVD and listen to the CD... SPECTACULAR!!!

'In Praise of Older Women' is a very captivating and provocative movie.  *The surprise for this movie is ---it is very accurate in its protrial of the Spanish Civil War.  It is well directed and well casts with great on-site filming!  It is a very captivating movie ---in that it literally draws you into the action ---as if you were actually in the movie.  *I highly recommend this movie for History Lovers ---as well as Adventure Lovers ---as well as Lovers of Older Women!!!
