Breaking Dawn - spoken text

Advantages: easy to listen to, great story
Disadvantages: none

...For those of you who aren't familiar with the saga that is gripping the hearts of just about every teenage girl out there,The Twilight Saga is the story of a young girl, Bella, who is in her Junior/Senior year of high school, meets a boy and falls in love. But Edward is a vampire. When I first found out about the film which came out last year I decided to buy the book, then realising there were a series of books I brought them all. My collection is now stacked with everything to do with twilight, and being as old as I am I do realise that that is a little bit sad. BUT Twilight is well written - in this case, well heard, and very enjoyable. Breaking Dawn is the adult of the saga, being the final book it begins with the marriage of Bella and Edward, goes on to describe their honeymoon and the realization that Bella becomes pregnant. It...

Take a Break

Advantages: Good all round magazine
Disadvantages: I wish the real life stories were sometimes more uplifting

...I have to apologize in advance (lol, good start!!) as my review seems to have taken on, more of a 'how to make money from take a break' review but only since reading the smaller print have I noticed how much there is to be made. I have also included the regulars you can expect from take a break. Design --------- Front cover jam packed detailing mainly the real life stories with photo's to be featured in the issue, and usually displays the tempting amount of money that could be won, and in this particular issue stands at a total of £32,470 in the form of cars, cash and holidays. THE REGULARS Take a break St. ---------------------- The first double spread page, entitled 'Take a Break St.' is laiden with snippets and small accompanying photos sent in by readers of usually cute, funny or just unusual moments in their life...

Break up with this!

Advantages: Better than the first book...
Disadvantages: But not by much.

...rate a book such, but Penny Smith's debut Coming Up Next was fully deserving of that rating. I only read until the end so I could review it and warn other people about it, so I'm not sure what I was thinking when I got the follow up to that book from the library, After The Break. Penny is a well-known TV personality, presenting the news and other features on breakfast TV show GMTV, and this is echoed in the book with the lead character Katie presenting her own breakfast time show. Clearly it's not an original idea and didn't need much inspiration but I was hoping that it was going to be better than the awful debut, although it wouldn't have taken much to beat that. As I said, the character of Katie was also the lead in Penny's first book, so if you haven't read that one first, well done. Honestly, you haven't missed that much if you...

Review of After the Break - Penny Smith

  ++++++TAKE A 2 DAY BREAK ++++++

Advantages: Really good real life stories & some fab recipes
Disadvantages: The chance of winning a competition is very low

...I work on average 6 days out of 7 and work some really strange shifts so when it comes down to my hour long break a day I really don't know what to do with myself. As a child I used to always get a copy of Shout magazine from my gran she used to buy me one from the local paper shop and give it to me every Tuesday when I stayed at her house but as I grew older I got really bored if it and wanted some thing new to focus my attention on so I started reading my mums Take a Break and I loved it! It was always full of competitions (which I loved) and real life stories that where really interesting. After that I became totally hooked and now I get my gran to get the magazine for me every Monday they night I now sleep round. HOW MUCH and WHERE FROM? You can pick up a copy of Take a Break from any decent newsagent or from anywhere that...

Review of Take a Break

Prison Break

Advantages: Get Answers, Brilliantly Thought Out Story Lines
Disadvantages: None

...Prison Break is in my opinion the best TV drama there is. It all started with Michael Scofield ( Wentworth Miller ) getting himself put into prison to break his brother, Lincoln Burrows ( Dominic Purcell ), out. Other inmates also join the breakout, whether Michael likes it or not. As the series go by the main characters find themselves in one situation after another, usually involving doing something for someone in order to keep what they're doing quiet. They are often recruited to do these things because Michael is exceptionally smart. Making the character exceptioanlly smart allows for many storylines to develop and be solved by Michael, that would normally make you think - that's not possible. However, knowing what he is capable of you are no longer surprised and just begin to think - what a brillaint piece of writing...

Review of Prison Break

Break Up To Make Up?

Advantages: Jennifer Aniston, very relatable
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, comedy falls flat.

...After meeting at a baseball game and falling in love, 4 years on things aren?t as rosy as they once were for Gary (Vince Vaughn) and Brooke (Jennifer Aniston). They have both become set in their daily routines; Brooke works hard at an art gallery and then comes home and tidies up after Gary whilst Gary works as a popular tour guide but instead of helping Brooke do the housework when he comes home he?s intent on lying around playing PS2 and watching football. After an awkward family meal things implode in Brooke and Gary?s relationship, Brooke decides that she can?t carry on with the way things stand therefore hatches a plan to break up with Gary in order for him to see how good he has it and change his ways however instead of this Gary plays hardball and completely shuts Brooke out. The two carry on their stubborn behaviour...

Review of The Break-Up (DVD)

Take a Great Break

Advantages: Great reading at a great price
Disadvantages: None

...I would say that this has to be one of the best weekly magazines available. Each new edition is available every Thursday from all good newsagents or supermarkets. The magazine starts with a double page feature called Take a Break Street which is full of readers photographs and funny captions, a great mix is found here from cute to funny. The page also has the magazne contents. Going on through the magazine we have loads of great stories. All of the stories featured are from real readers and have real names and photos. I do find that the majority of the stories are about illness and death but do show how couragious people are in overcoming their problems. Take a Break do pay a fee for every story used and published. They have a page called the Brainwaves roadshow which is full of ideas and solutions from readers, things you might find...

Review of Take a Break

Enjoyable break up

Advantages: Great acting, most people will be able to connect with the story
Disadvantages: None

...I went to see this when it was in cinemas and liked it so much that when it came out on DVD I went straight out and bought it. The film was written by Jeremy Garelick and Jay Lavender and even Vince Vaughn did part of the story and the film was directed by Peyton Reed. The story: The film, hence the name, is about a couple who break up and how it effects both of them as they are still living in the same home together while they wait to sell it. However, neither of them really wants to make way for the other so there are lots of comedy moments during the film and it isn't all serious! The film also follows how it affects their joint friends as normally the group of them do everything together and as you can imagine this suddenly is an awkward position to be in when you don't want to offend either one of the couple...

Breaking Benjamin Phobia

Advantages: Great consistency
Disadvantages: None really

...Breaking Benjamin: Phobia I was recommended this CD by a friend who is into all this G-Unit stuff so I wasn't so sure I would like this, But they lent me the CD anyway after I reluctantly agreed on giving them a try. I was shocked to begin with because this really isn't my friends type of music he is always saying bad stuff about the rock genre and I was impressed by the band. This is a wonderful CD to listen to personally I enjoyed it. Intro: Nice little instrumental to open the album with. I love the picking of the guitar it stays strong for the whole 1 min( estimate) of the track. Diary Of Jane: Probably my favourite track off the whole album including the acoustic version of this track. The band keep the rhythm going and use the lyrics well. The vocals are outstanding Breath: Another great track with a great rhythm, I...
