Escaping Daddy - Maria Landon

Heartbreaking book - Daddy's Little Earner

Advantages: Amazing book that is strongly written, emotive and gripping
Disadvantages: Highly charged and not for the light stomached

an escape out of that life for Maria. It is written strongly and consistently and keeps you hooked throughout. It is a book that you cannot bear to ut down as you want to hear what happens next, yet at the same time you don't know if you can bear any more damage inflicted on Maria. This book is worthy of five stars and I would recommend this to any person who appreciates the truth and honesty that Maria Landon brings to the pages. It retails at £6.99 new and is certainly worth every penny ...

Maria says how they never ...

Daddy Cool

Advantages: Enjoyable, good performances,
Disadvantages: not great extras

Big Daddy. Yet another Adam Sandler film, or well worth a watch? *********************History********************* Adam Sandler was born in 1966, making him much older than I'd realised, I'd say he tends to look mid-thirties in his newer films. Sandler is a well-known comic actor, with more than 30 films behind him. His first film, as far as I can find out, was Going Overboard back in 1989, meaning that his career has now spanned three decades, which I think is an achievement regardless of your feelings about him. I say regardless of your feelings as I know from experience that he's a real Marmite man, some love him, others hate him. He's criticised for playing the same part time after time, but if it works then why not? His films are still huge draws for the public. For a while I was one of the hate-him school, but once I found out ...
