Even Better

Advantages: An action packed read
Disadvantages: Some suspension of disbelief required

...have a ??don?t get mad, get even?? philosophy, which is frequently seen as they share a habit for getting themselves unjustly accused of things. Whilst the style and basic idea may be similar, Andrew Grant is the better writer. There are brief flashes at the start of each chapter to Trevellyan?s past, which makes him feel like a far more rounded character than in many novels of this type, which don?t have this. For someone who prefers to work alone, he deals with people quite well, so he feels less mechanical and this allows the reader more sympathy towards him. It also allows for smarter and, on occasion, more amusing dialogue as Trevellyan engages in some verbal sparring with both the F. B. I. agents and the mercenary leader, which is quite good fun. Grant has a great eye for a story, pitching us that little of Trevellyan?s past...

Review of Even Money - Dick Francis

Even Better

Advantages: New sound with familiar feel
Disadvantages: Feel like they could have done more songs

...Very few recording artists tend to better previous albums but coldplay are the exeption that prove the rule with their greatest collection of song to date. The opening track Square One screams out as a single release but it is not the only track that does this as even the hidden track Kingdom Come inpired by the late Jonny Cash deserves a place amongst the best seller charts. The singles released from this album Speed of Sound, Fix You, The Hardest Part and Talk are the more traditional coldplay releases. Fix You echoes the spirit of Yellow and The Scientist whereas Speed of Sound has an element of clocks about it. Overall it is an experience more than jut music as so many of the better albums are. Different sound but at the same time familiar classic Coldplay....

The Sims just got bigger and even better!

Advantages: Still very addicting, and a great seamless neighbourhood. Goodbye loading screens!
Disadvantages: Still quite 'basic' whilst we wait for all those inevitable expansion packs.

... So what is "The Sims?" If you haven't even heard of The Sims before then, well, where have you been?! The Sims took off years ago and is now a huge, best selling popular PC game, along with its never ending expansion packs. First there was The Sims, then came along The Sims 2 and now this year has come The Sims 3, bigger and better than ever before. The Sims is anything you want it to be. You can create a Sim that resembles you, someone famous or just a completely made up character. You can make them get married, have children and live in a comfortable home, or you could be rich and single, there is so much choice to what you can have your Sims do, it's basically your own soap opera set in your very own neighbourhood, jam packed with other Sims and places waiting to be explored. What's New in The Sims 3? The main...

Evening Standard : OK

Advantages: Good coverage of London. Financial information.
Disadvantages: Bland. Lack of coverage of international affairs

...The Evening Standard is the only major tabloid evening newspaper for London,which is rather surprising for a world class city the size of London. Currently it sells at 35 pence and is reasonable value for money. It is has quite good coverage of London including restaurant reviews and coverage of the Premier and Nationwide Soccer league teams in the capital. The Evening Standard also provides financial information including stocks and shares. The paper also has sections on jobs,holidays and entertainment. It is a bit thin on coverage of international affairs,it is really more oriented to London and the UK,rather than the world at large. I do not regard this paper as a good buy if you are looking for penetrating,investigative,type journalism but it is OK as regardsd news about London.It is a popular newspaper among evening commuters...

Review of The Evening Standard

Even better on DVD

Advantages: It's Tom and Meg, you have to watch
Disadvantages: I can never get my hair to look like hers

...you always turn to your best friend, and for these two it is no exception, regardless of the fact that they have never met face to face. He knows first but doesn’t tell, he plays the love game to his rules, but we all know that she loves him…. the waiting for them to meet and see the realisation on her face is excruciating. The film is made even better by the soundtrack, which leaves you humming tunes for days afterwards. If you get the DVD format then you can play the film with no speech just music, and it is only then that you appreciate how well the music has been put to the film. Of course at the end of the film when they...I can’t do it, I can’t spoil it, you really have to watch it yourself. If you have a DVD player then get it in this format, the extra bits are worth the extra few quid, but if not watch...

Review of You've Got Mail (DVD)

Even better than The Simpsons

Advantages: Great animation, extremely funny, good characters, two wonderful episodes, no bad episodes
Disadvantages: Fewer episodes than the later seasons, bonus material not very imaginative

...better. The humour is, a la The Simpsons, a mix of surrealism, satire, character, and situation based. However it's more consistently funny than The Simpsons (IMHO - and I love The Simpsons as well). However, in one his commentaries Matt Groening states that the real joy of it is that sci-fi fans will love it, and people who don't like sci-fi will also love it as it makes fun of the sci-fi shows, films, and even genre. I don't quite agree with this - there are many layers of humour on display, but most of the sci-fi related ones will be lost on "non-fans" as they won't have seen the show or film it relates to, or at least if they have, won't have taken enough notice of it to recognise all of the references contained here. For instance, the sound effect of the doors opening is taken straight from the original Star Trek series, or when...

Get Even... Get Equal!

Advantages: Better than Concealor & Foundation, Pure & Even Skin Tone in a simple step!
Disadvantages: Once again... you know what I'm gonna say... price!

...inevitably results in buying something. So today?s chosen product for analysis is Benefit?s? (drum roll please)? GET EVEN! The thing that really sold it to me was the title, I?m a bit vindictive at times you see! It claims to ?even out skin tone? and as I?ve been cursed with uneven skin tone (especially when hungover) I felt it was a must have and therefore justified the cost to myself by thinking of my hangover the next day. * Who are behind Benefit? * Two Indiana twins are behind the massive company that today is known as Benefit. Their first make up boutique opened in 1976 ?The Face Place? and since then success has only grown for them. They created what can only be described as a candy store for lovers of make up, with their original products named ?lip plump? and ?ooh la lift? ? guaranteed to raise a smile among everyone! In 1990...

Review of BeneFit Get Even

Some enchanted evening

Advantages: a feelgood story with a great plot
Disadvantages: none

...For me evening class is a great book written by one of my favourite authors Maeve Binchy. It tells the story of a very mixed group of people from Dublin who join an evening class to learn Italian all for very different reasons. The class is run by a lady called Nora O’Donoghue who has just returned from Italy after the death of her beloved Mario whom she was the mistress of for many years, this wasn’t a sordid love affair but the usuall tale of a man not wanting to leave his wife and children. She returns to dublin penniless and in look of work and lodges with Aidan Dunne a teacher at Mountainview High who suggests to Nora to run an Italian nightclass. An unlikely bunch sign up for the class and the whole tale is bound to keep you enthralled through the whole book. Aidan Dunne teaches at Mountainview highschool...
