Passion - Lifetimes of Love

By
Luce just saw an apparition of herself get shot by a supposed friend.  She saw her chance to give herself answers and she took it. Little did she know what she would be running into – or through since she was the one who stepped through the Announcer and into her past lives with Daniel.  At the end of Torment, Luce had stepped through the Announcer in order to find the answers that Daniel and Cam and all of the other angels weren’t giving her.  Daniel got scared and stepped through after her, along with her friends from Shoreline.  She finds friends, enemies and always Daniel no matter what century she turns up in.  All she knows is that there has to be one lifetime that will tell her everything she needs to know about the curse and the love between Daniel and herself. But the question she hasn’t asked herself is she ready for everything that her past lives will entail? Especially when it kills her?

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. There was finality to it that the second one didn’t have but enough things hanging to make me want to read the final book, Rapture.  The last book, Torment, made me want to throttle Luce from time to time. In this one, I didn’t get that feeling. The author actually made her into a character that I like.  She started out self-centered, right where she was in the last book. But as she obtained more information about the past lives between herself and Daniel, she started to realize that she wasn’t the only one suffering.  All of the readers understood just how much pain Daniel had been going through since the Fall (and probably before) but for some reason, Luce had been so much in her own bubble that she couldn’t see or understand someone else’s feelings. That is probably why she was so eager to accept the help of “Bill” in the Announcer.

Even though I did like this one more than Torment, I still had to skip pages because it was boring to read about yet another life between Luce and Daniel.  It was almost a little too much to take when they got to ancient China or Japan or whatever it was.  I know that in the grand scheme of the storyline, Luce needed to be there to find her final destination of The Fall but it just seemed a little too much and I skipped about 10 pages.  It didn’t matter – I was still able to keep up with the storyline and I didn’t feel as if I missed anything. 

I still want to read Rapture because I have already put in 3 books worth of my time and I want to see what happens to Lucifer now that he is 9 days away from changing everything in the entire world – not just Luce and Daniel’s lives.  I want to see how everything plays out and how the Angels stop Lucifer from changing history.  And also to see which side everyone is actually on? Or is the line too blurred to really even choose sides?

The Last Song

By
Before I begin this review, I must put a disclaimer. The only way I got through this movie was to look past Miley Cyrus as the lead. With that said, so starts my review. With imagination running out in Hollywood, producers have to look to other forms of entertainment for inspiration. Nicholas Sparks books have always been a very good place with hit movies such as A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, and The Notebook. In 2010, Hollywood made 2 of his books into movies - Dear John and The Last Song starring Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear. Before seeing this movie, I made it a point to read  the book so I could compare the two mediums. This story wasn't a typical Sparks novel in the sense of about finding your true love. This is a story about the dysfunctional yet oddly functional relationship between an 18-year old teenage and her estranged father. Roni and her 10 year old brother come to live at their father's house in South Carolina, on the water, for the summer much to ...

"For a Few to be Immortal, Many Must Die" - In Time

By
It is an interesting topic – living forever.   We all have said at one point or another we want the fountain of youth to bless us with eternal beauty and life.   But what would living forever mean? You would see history happen right before your eyes – and see it written in history books for children to read during school.   If you had been living forever, you could have seen the curse start for the Red Sox in 1918 and then get broken in 2004.   And again in 2007.   But what it would it mean?   By living forever, you don’t like a day in your life. If you live forever, what makes tomorrow so special.   The people in District 12 have it better than the rich – they have to make very moment, every second count. In Time, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, is set in 2161 where a genetic alteration has allowed humanity to stop aging past age 25.   But people are required to earn more time in order to stay alive past age 25 or their ...

True Blood Finale

By
It has been a long time since the True Blood made its final bow, or stab depending on which way you look at it. Before I get into the review lets do a little recap. Bill is still on his path to die by Sookie’s fairie light and rid him of his internal struggle that he is destined to die; He believes he is being punished for all of his sins since he was turned a vampire during the Civil War.  Sookie is still struggling to figure out what to do, not sure if she can kill the man she loves. Bill wants Sookie to kill him so she can live her life without vampires and death.  Eric and Pam are working to get rid of the Japanese people and take over New Blood for themselves (which is genius).  In the end, Eric and Pam kill all the Japanese and they are both rich with the New Blood market.  Sookie does come to the conclusion that she wants babies and a real, human life with no vampires and stakes Bill in his own grave that was dug for him when he didn’t return home from t...
