Story
Whenever a tragic event happens, our first thoughts are with the victims, their families, and even with the motives driving the perpetrators. But what happens after the police tape comes down? Damned Spot revisits the places where painful memories of death and destruction still linger, and explores what a building and, ultimately, a community needs in order to heal.

Story
The story of the Warner Brothers studio is the story of the American dream - an immigrant family who escaped a violent beginning, and arrived penniless in America, only to conquer its newest and most lucrative art form. The Warner formula was simple - to thrill audiences with stories torn straight from the headlines, and as such, Warner Studios became the home of the crime film.

This was absolutely great - totally fascinating, I was addicted from the first episode. I learned so much, I found myself talking to the characters, I laughed and I most definitely cried! There was obviously some poetic license to create drama, but that just adds to the atmosphere...
There's a little bit of not-suitable-for-kids content and a little language but it doesn't ruin the story.
I definitely recommend this to any fan of movies, Americana or history, or anyone who, like me, is just curious. Simply loved it!!!

Story
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets 16-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.

To Be Continued??
Reviewed: 23-10-2018
Loved the movie and enjoyed some of the extra details in this. Of course I know that the book is never like the movie, and I always love the book more, but not this time. I am extremely disappointed at the 'to be continued' ending, even if it is part of a series. Maybe you like books like that, in which case I recommend this, but I wasn't happy - I feel like a didn't get a whole book, even though I paid for one...

Story
You'll lose a lot of sleep.... Ralph does. At first he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. Then the hallucinations start - the colours, shapes and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death. That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control - dangerously so. And why his hometown is about to become the new Armageddon....

NARRATOR GREAT, "MUSIC" CRINGE-WORTHY

A slow burner - not your usual King.

A slow burner, but worth the effort. A bit mild for him, but still a classic King.
The production has a few issues though - mainly the music. It was rather loud and jarring, especially combined with the softly spoken narrator, and it often so loud you couldn't hear the story.
For King fans...

Girt. No word could better capture the essence of Australia.... In this hilarious history, David Hunt reveals the truth of Australia's past, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the forgotten eccentrics and Eureka moments that have made us who we are. Girt introduces forgotten heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transported for the crime of "felony of sock", and Trim the cat, who beat a French monkey to become the first animal to circumnavigate Australia.

Not a dull history book!!
Reviewed: 13-08-2018
I have never laughed so hard reading a history book (not even Horrible Histories) - this guy is hilarious, complete with bad accents and weird footnotes. You definitely MUST have a sense of humour and appreciate sarcasm, or you will be easily offended, but if you actually listen you can hear between the lines a very clear commentary of the establishment of the colony and the way people were treated... the comedy in between the actual quotes from people at the time. Highly recommend this, and the sequel.

What would happen if millions of people around the world suddenly disappeared one day? In this fascinating apocalyptic thriller, best-selling Christian inspirational authors LaHaye and Jenkins pool their considerable talents to answer that question. Narrator Richard Ferrone's unusually deep and hypnotic voice will keep you right in the middle of this not-unimaginable end of the world nightmare.

The narration is not bad, but the editing is terrible in places - really long pauses in some places, no pauses in other places where there really needs to be one (e.g. a conversation between two characters suddenly becomes a conversation between two other characters with no break at all in between). It doesn't spoil the story, but you really need to concentrate...
I recommend this series for the truth hidden within the fiction.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales are rightly ranked among the seminal works of mystery and detective fiction. Included in this collection are all four full-length Holmes novels and more than forty short masterpieces - from the inaugural adventure A Study in Scarlet to timeless favorites like “The Speckled Band” and more. At the center of each stands the iconic figure of Holmes - brilliant, eccentric, and capable of amazing feats of deductive reasoning.

Everyone knows a version of Sherlock Holmes, but there's nothing like the original stories - learn how it really all began and hear all the amazing adventures and the many and varied little titbits of information and fact about the great man - I've listened to this several times now, and I'm always picking up something new!! And this performance is by far the best one out there.

I love Stephen King, but this one gets a little slow in the middle - but trust me, don't give up on it. I just left it for a couple of months then came back to it, and in the end "couldn't put it down". The reader is excellent.
