Sophie Hannah - Little Face

Advantages: Good psychological thriller
Disadvantages: none

...I recently discovered the author Sophie Hannah after being given this book as a present. I was hooked from the first page and read this in two days! When Alice Fancourt returns home after being out for the first time without her two-week old baby daughter Florence, she realises that the baby daughter she returns home to, having left her in the care of her husband David, is not Florence, but a baby she has never seen before! David insists the baby is their daughter Florence, and that Alice is going mad! Is Alice going mad? Or is David lying? And if he is, why would he do such a thing, and where is Florence? Alice alerts the police, but has no proof, and DNA tests are taken. Whilst waiting for the results, David's behaviour towards Alice changes, becoming quite sinister and Alice feels threatened herself, both by him and his...

Review of Sophie Hannah

Hannah...another puzzle!

Advantages: A new take on jigsaws.
Disadvantages: Can be a little fiddly for the slightly younger child.

...As many of you will be aware, my daughter is a huge Hannah Montana fan, so of course any merchandise available works it?s way into her possession. The product I will now review is - ?Hannah Montana - junior puzzle ball? For my daughters birthday she received a couple of different puzzle balls and she enjoyed doing them so much I decided to invest again. For those who haven?t heard of these the premise is simple. This is a jigsaw puzzle that is 3d, a sphere to be exact. Once they have been constructed there is a display plinth in the set, which is a small doughnut shaped base that holds the ball in place, and also, because it is free standing and doesn?t have to be glue on in anyway if the child so wishes the ball can be took apart and redone. This particular puzzle ball has 96 pieces to it and measures 12cm from top to base...

Hurting distance - Sophie Hannah

Advantages: A good Read
Disadvantages: I have to wait till next year for her next book

...Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah I bought this book at my local Tesco on a buy two for £7.00 deal and it was well worth it. I'm an avid reader and have read about 12 books this month of all different types. I tend to pick books by reading the back cover and then the first page and if it grips me immediately then I can't leave it behind. The back of this book says "Three years ago, something terrible happened to Naomi Jenkins - so terrible she never told anyone" and the first page is an email she has written to a website called "Speak out and Survive"; you know then from the first page what Naomi's secret is, she's been raped. No I'm not giving the plot away, far from it, that's what I thought as well when I read it. I then though oh well; I'll give it a go anyway. The next chapter is about a man she is deeply in love...

Review of Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah

Another good read from Sophie Hannah

Advantages: A good page-turner
Disadvantages: none

...I have previously reviewed the first Sophie Hannah novel I read and thoroughly enjoyed, so thought I would now review the second. I must admit I was looking forward to reading this book, as I love it when I find a new author I like, and after reading 'Little Face' I couldn't wait to read her next novel 'Hurting Distance'. I wasn't disappointed, it was every bit as much enjoyable as 'Little Face' and another page-turner I could not put down until I had finished. A good point is that we are re-introduced to Detectives Zailer and Waterhouse and again we follow the sub- storyline of their chemistry and feelings for each other, which is a story in itself! The story is about Naomi Jenkins - a woman with a secret.....and a married lover, Robert Haworth, whom she is passionately in love with. Suddenly, Robert just disappears without any...

Review of Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah

Rock and roll....Hannah style!

Advantages: Encourages their creative sides.
Disadvantages: None.

...As one of the hundreds of the Hannah Montana pieces of merchandise, this is one of my favourites giving me as much entertainment as it has for my daughter! The product I will now review is - ?Hannah Montana, rockin? keyboard? This is a half size keyboard, compared to an adults that is. It is of course the obligatory deep purple colour that so much of the HM merchandise usually is! This keyboard literally has everything, from the standard keys for making your own music, through to drum pads and actual songs from the show, perfect for adding your own percussion to the afore mentioned songs. I will start with the most important part, how many batteries it takes! This particular unit takes only three AA batteries, which for the size of the unit is astonishing. To start playing with the keyboard you must first change the button...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Hannah and her sisters- In depth review!

Advantages: Classic film, Woody Allen, cheap.
Disadvantages: Was made quite a few years ago , no real extras.

...--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- .....................HANNAH AND HER SISTERS..................... --------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Updated!! ********************* * Summary of review : ********************** • This is a traditional, chic-flick (Romantic film) which also has its comic moments throughout. • Watching it back now, you can tell it was made in 1986 and so is a bit dated, but then again classics are always fun to watch, I mean I've watched James Bond hundreds of times! • The actual film itself was recognised with 7 BAFTA nominations, and the writer Woody Allen received two BAFTAs and was nominated for Best Director. • The film is based on 3 sisters, starting at Thanksgiving dinner...

Review of Hannah And Her Sisters (DVD)

Hannah Montana the puzzle...(it's always puzzled me!)

Advantages: An unusual and fun puzzle.
Disadvantages: Does need some adult intervention and can be a little tricky to complete.

...This toy review (yes, sorry another one!), is on a toy that even though I had bought it for my daughter, I was itching to have a go at! I have always been a fan of puzzles, jigsaws in particular, my children seem to have followed in my footsteps, hence this review! The toy I will now review is ? Hannah Montana puzzle extra?. The puzzle is a bog standard jigsaw floor puzzle, 102 pieces, with a lovely picture of Hannah Montana on one side and her real life personna Miley Cyrus on the other, I will not go into the history of this fictional children?s character, needless to say if you have not heard of her you count yourself bloody lucky, she?s been the bain of my life for the last two years! You have to complete this puzzle before you unlock the next level, I will explain this a little later. The puzzle is aimed...

Hannah Montana Spotlight World Tour

Advantages: The Sound
Disadvantages: The Storyline

...Oh My God this game is amazingly O.K. Disney have gone to exceptional lengths to make this game hit big. In my point of view I think that they have succeeded. The controls are very comfortable and the and the Sync and fit the game perfectly. I think that the game is very easy but I guess that it was aimed at smaller children who may take a bit more of an interest in it. The story itself is convincing enough. While Hannah Montanah is on the stage popping her moves you have to match her by using the Wii-mote and the Nunchuck. There are a total of 24 actions that you have to perform throughout the game. Similar to games like DDR and Pop Idol you get a result of bad, good, great, perfect for the moves you perform. After you have completed each song then you can unlock a new stage throughout the world. The graphics are better than good...

Review of Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour (Wii)

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...
