Review of Cap Canaveral - Kennedy Space Centre (Florida)

A Fantastic Holiday On Kennedy's Open Pet Farm

Advantages: superb accomodation, beautiful place,very hospitable,ideal for young children.
Disadvantages: A long drive from England

...As a family with young children we had tried various holidays in the past ranging from caravans to hotels, none of which had been remotely therapeutic.We had friends in the South of Ireland so decided to look for something in this area. I had been to County Kerry (south West ireland ) in my backpacking days and remembered it as being very dramatic and beautiful. I booked a week at Kennedy's farm online with no problems.We had to send a deposit and for a week in April May June,September or October the cost was 500 EUROS.In July and August this increases to 750 EUROS. I was a little apprehensive as this was a lot of money especially after counting in the cost of the ferry and the general cost of living in Ireland is not cheap.However when we arrived the accomodation was superb.We didn't use the upper part of the house at all as there...

John F Kennedy

Advantages: It's mine! All mine!
Disadvantages: It's mine! All mine!

...I wrote this essay for my first year history class at Uni. The question: Is it likely that President Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy? My quotes have references, but I can't be stuffed putting them in. If you want to use any of this essay, or know the sources I used, PLEASE ASK ME!! I do have a 2000 word limit, and now that I look at the essay and some comments a few days after handing it in, I can see where it could be improved. But I'm not touching it, because this is the best essay I've written. There'll be more, and if I'm happy with them, I'll put them up. Comments/ suggestions/ reasons for giving whatever rating (including VH) are greatly appreciated In answering "is it likely that President Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy", the question "why would the President be the victim of a conspiracy" should also be asked...

Review of Essays

One family's ordeal during the dreadful Salem witch trials.

Advantages: A well researched read, and something I could not put down.
Disadvantages: Half way through the book when you momentarily jump in time.

...apparent. One day though her Father comes to take her back to her family in Andover, against the deep wishes of Sarah, who would long to stay with her Aunt's family. The book continues with Sarah and her family, with some quite ordinary day-to-day events, however the book is great to read and I did find it very interesting to read how life could have been back then (in my opinion, very boring and very cold!). The author, Kathleen Kent, has done a great job of describing how cold the winters were, struggling to keep warm using straw, to the point where it made me feel quite cold and wanting to cuddle up underneath a warm blanket! Kent also described just how warm and uncomfortable the summer is when working in the fields wonderfully, along with how exhausting it must have been harvesting those fields by hand. You read about Sarah growing...

Review of The Heretic's Daughter - Kathleen Kent

Passes with a very high mark

Advantages: Explores the murkier side of the alt-country experience
Disadvantages: May be too depressing for some in places

...If I had to ever think of a Canadian alt-country version of Liz Phair, I'd probably come up with Kathleen Edwards. Whilst she's nowhere near the kind of 'sweary-mary' that Liz Phair is, nor do her track titles evoke blushes if your parents happen to read them, she does come close to the borders of respectability. "Failer", her debut album released in 2003, is raw, edgy and earthy yet surprisingly good, telling tales of screwed-up people from back-roads Canada - well, at least the ones skipped over by those responsible for the glossy tourist brochures.... Kathleen Edwards might not set the world alight with her vocals judging by the first few tracks - you could even say they're rather depressing at times, but with a title like "Failer", depressing is pretty much apt and in keeping with the subject matter. Yet they've got a curious...

Review of Failer - Kathleen Edwards

What a Tease

Advantages: Good characters, fun story, well written
Disadvantages: Crude in places (for me anyway!)

...characters also, as I found no immediately following chapters followed the same characters. It is well-written, witty and funny to read and thoroughly enjoyable. I also found that this being written in the third-person made it easier to read, given the scope of characters, first person would have been just too confusing! Again though I must point out excessive, and unnecessary use of, in my opinion, the most awful word in the English language, the C-Word. I don't think it is nice, it didn't add anything to the book and seemed out of place coming from the mouths of these well-off characters. It is actually this which has caused the book to lose 1 star from me, as if she had not written in this way, it would most certainly warrant 5 stars from me! So overall, I think this is a very good introduction into the works of Kathleen Tessaro if you...

Review of The Flirt - Kathleen Tessaro

Elegant on the cover, ugly inside

Advantages: Good cover, interesting excerpts from another book
Disadvantages: Not funny, unsympathetic main character and lots of stereotypes

...Louise is dull as dishwater. As for the supporting characters, the author of the book (Kathleen Tessaro) relies on lazy, ill-drawn stereotypes: the gay best friend, the evil mother-in-law, and the posh country-types who she works with. Yawnsville! Another reason why you should not buy this book is that it is not funny. Not once did I laugh while reading this book. It didn?t even bring a knowing smile to my face. In fact, it was more likely to make me feel like bashing it with frustration at the main character?s annoying ways. While reading this book, I couldn?t help wonder about the author, Katherine Tissot, and how much of this was autobiographical. Like the main character, Louise, Kathleen also comes from Pittsburgh and is an American woman in London. Her descriptions of London life feel false, and I would not be...

Review of Elegance - Kathleen Tessaro

Elegantly Wasted

Advantages: fashion tips for the lay-deeez
Disadvantages: slow introduction to the main character

...to other books about 30 somethings who are unhappy in their marriages. However as one reads further into the book we do at least see why Louise is the way she is and I did hope that whatever she was seeking would come to her eventually. The character does 'warm up' throughout the book and becomes alot more endearing and her friends that help her transformation are amusing in a Bridget Jones kind of way. Four stars from me, for something slightly bold and for intertwining two different eras and perspectives on fashion and life. The book 'Elegance' by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux is a real one and may be worth a read in its entirety. However, this is Kathleen Tessaro's first novel. * Other info * 390 pages in paperback RRP is £6.99 but £5.49 on play.com ISBN 0-00-715143-8 Finally, I leave you with the quote at the beginning...

CHOMSKY CHASTISES... KENNEDY

Advantages: Excellent insight into an interesting topic
Disadvantages: A tad too agressive? Often seems like you're being lectured at

...If we are to think of iconic? erm? icons in American culture, one of the most predominant is John F. Kennedy, President from 1961 to 1963. The man who led America's 'New Frontier', opened up a new age for America, was committed to ending the war in Vietnam but was tragically shot down before he could implement it, right? Well, it would appear that this presumptuous view would be rather? wrong. In 'Rethinking Camelot' Noam Chomsky dispels the popular notions which still persist that Kennedy was like a knight or Arthurian legend, indeed, he is Arthur, noble King of the Realm, the shining hero of modern America. Sadly these images, which perpetuate right through to the modern day are completely false and lacking in any kind of historical substance, as Chomsky forcefully points out. 'Rethinking Camelot: JFK, the Vietnam War and US...
