Today I will review the fabulous book
Candy
by Kevin Brooks
I enjoyed reading that book so much, I want to share my experience and present it to
the world!
Why did I read this book?
My best friend recommended it to me - it's her favourite book. She handed me her copy
(already ripped and torn because she takes it with her whenever she travels) and I
started reading a few days later. Needless to say, I finished the book within 48 hours
and was amazed.
The cover of this book is also very nice, so I think I would have taken a closer look at it
if I had seen it in a shop before.
The plot
A teen boy called Joe is the teller of this exciting story. He rides a train to London to
see a doctor because he has a lump on his wrist. The doctor is a posh, private one,
but Joe's father is rich and thus only sends his son to the best ...
Advantages: Some good songs Disadvantages: Some not so good songs
Hard Candy is the eleventh studio album from the chameleon of pop colloquially known as Madonna and the follow up to her 2005's hugely successful Confessions On A Dancefloor album.
Throughout her career, which spans three decades she has consistently proved to have her finger on the musical pulse and her ability to re-invent herself to capitalise on the trend of the moment is one of the most important factors that has contributed towards her phenomenal success. Another factor that has contributed towards the success of the world's biggest selling female artist is her ability to surround herself with the hottest people of the moment.
Hard Candy always promised to take a RnB direction and news that she was working with today's hottest people like Timbaland, Pharrel Williams, Justin Timberlake and Kanye West confirmed this to be ...
Advantages: good acting, fairly gripping Disadvantages: a bit depressing, some people might be offended/squeamish!
Candy was released in 2006 and tells the story of two young lovers, artist Candy and poet Dan, becoming more and more involved in drugs, in particular the use of heroin. Candy is played by Abbie Cornish (SOMERSAULT) and Dan by Heath Ledger (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, A KNIGHT'S TALE). Before watching this movie I had not seen any of Abbie's previous work, but was always impressed by Heath's acting, and after his sad death by accidental overdose in January decided to catch up on some of his work I hadn't yet seen.
The film is based on the novel Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction by Luke Davies, which can be found from £4.83 on Amazon Marketplace or in good bookshops. I have yet to read the book but after watching the film I would be interested to see how similar the two are, it comes with excellent reviews.

This front-loading, built-in washing machine in modern white features a 1200rpm spin speed with a maximum wash load of 6kg - enough for the needs of a small household. It has European Standard ratings of A+ for energy efficiency, A for wash performance, and A for spin performance. It is cold fill only and because it won't use up your hot water, there'll be more for other needs around the home. This machine operates using'fuzzy logic'- which resembles human decision-making and an ability to generate precise solutions from certain given information. Using sensor technology, it constantly monitors varying conditions inside the machine and adjusts itself accordingly to ensure optimal wash results using as little energy and water as possible. Sixteen programs to choose from represent genuine value for money and include a 32-minute quick wash, hand wash and easy iron. Variable spin and temperature also allow better care of your fabrics, making laundry day that much more convenient for you.
