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...

Come Fly With Lucy...

Advantages: Funny, witty, well written, good likeable characters
Disadvantages: The character of James!

...'t actually read Heat, so I haven't read anything she has written in the magazine but I thought she is young and probably has a good idea of what people want to read these days, so it made me feel a lot more positive about the book in general. The story is based around a character, not surprisingly called Lucy McCarthy. Lucy is about to head on holiday to Australia for the wedding of her two best friends Sam and Molly for 2 weeks when the whole thing is jeopardised before she even takes off from British soil. When turning her mobile phone off in the cabin of the plane, she notices she has a new text message, and decides to quickly read it. However, the text isn't the text she was expecting to receive...it is from someone claiming that they have just slept with Lucy's boyfriend James in her bed. Obviously Lucy is stuck on a plane and can't do...

Review of Lucy in the Sky - Paige Toon

I LOVE LUCY!

Advantages: chick-lit at it's best, unputdownable, good characters, well written, funny, not too predictable
Disadvantages: you'll be sad when it ends

...and my man split up, and was still reading it three weeks later when I met up with him and he asked me what I was reading these days. The book was only about two hundred pages long so I was pretty embarrassed to admit I was still reading the same book I'd been reading last time he asked! So I know this sounds completely irrelevant but there IS in fact a point to this little story I am telling. For I HAVE read a few books in the last few weeks but with little enthusiasm. I've not even managed to read the new Harry Potter book, which has been sitting on my desk for the past two weeks now. But the moment I started reading "Lucy in the Sky", I was hooked. I finished it in two days, which is a record for me at the moment, and I loved every minute of it. I didn't realise this until I bought the book but Paige Toon, the author, is actually...

Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married

Advantages: A brilliant read.
Disadvantages: Hard to put down!

...Marian Keyes is a prolific writer, and has written other books such as 'Watermelon', 'Rachel's Holiday', and 'Sushi for Beginners' - the latter two of which I have read. This book proved to be as good - perhaps even better - than the other two that I read. The book begins with Lucy Sulliven and three of her workmates - Hetty, Meridith, and Megan - going to see a fortune teller. Lucy is told that she is getting married within the next year, and remains sceptical - especially as she is not even going out with anyone. This scepticism continues, even when her workmates tell her that their predictions have come true. Lucy goes out with her best friend, Daniel, for a meal and when they head to a party afterwards, Lucy meets someone who she becomes involved with. At the same party, Daniel becomes involved with one of Lucy...

Review of Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married - Marian Keyes

Frequent liar points are clocking up & Lucy's got choices to make

Advantages: Brilliant reading in every way
Disadvantages: None at all

...Lucy left Australia when she was 16 and now, nine long years later, she is returning for the first time to go to a wedding. It's been too long since she last saw her friends and now Molly, her best friend, and Sam, her first love, are getting married - to each other. But Lucy is now happy with her life living in a beautiful flat in London with her gorgeous lawyer boyfriend, James, and with a job that she couldn't love more. But just as the plane to Sydney is about to take off, Lucy receives a text from James' mobile that brings her world crashing down. Now her happy and settled life in London seems miles away and, after meeting Nathan, Sam's very sexy surfer brother, Lucy can't help wondering if she'd be happier elsewhere. My opinion After reading and absolutely loving my first book of Paige Toon's, Cashing Daisy, I...

Jucy Lucy Sucks

Advantages: Easy Read
Disadvantages: No all that good

...Books are relatively expensive here in Australia, there is no equivalent to the top ten shelves in Asda or Tesco (that I?ve found yet) and there is no Australian Amazon unfortunately, so when I spotted a small shop just outside Sydney?s Central Station that proclaimed on it?s hoarding, ?3 Books for $12 (about four and a half quid to you and me) I skipped inside with glee. The selection was quite limited and just one shelf was discounted, however, seeing my crest fallen gaze the man behind the counter took pity on me and said I could pick any I wanted. Yippee! One of the books I picked up was Lucy Talk, by Fiona Walker, which is the subject of this review. I knew from the back cover, and I suppose the title that this was a ?chick lit? style book. Although I keep professing not to like this genre very much I do seem to keep buying them...

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...

Catch Lucy While You Can

Advantages: fantastic songs and voice
Disadvantages: virtually unknown

...good songs at that) and who has a fabulous singing voice, yet hardly anyone appears to have heard of them? someone who deserves to have had FAR more recognition than they have actually achieved . . . that makes me think that life REALLY isn?t fair. Lucy Woodward is a prime example of what I am talking about. I happened across her myself originally thanks to those ?favourite lists? on amazon. While I was buying ?Harmonium? by Vanessa Carlton, ?While You Can? was on one of those lists along with it. I saw several artists on that list I had never heard of, so I downloaded a few tracks from each of them to have a listen. I guess I was in a rare experimental mood that day. Anyway, after listening to a couple of her tracks, I was sold, and ordered a copy of the album straight away. This album, released in 2003, is as far as I know Lucy?s...

Review of While You Can - Lucy Woodward

I Love Lucie...

Advantages: Beautiful songs, beautiful voice, brilliant debut album
Disadvantages: A little samey towards the end!

...Lucie Silvas was dropped by her record label a few years ago and they hadn't even let her release anything... BIG MISTAKE! From out of nowhere with the smash 'What You're Made Of' Lucie serenely arrived onto the music scene with a stunning voice song and album... heres why you should get her album, track buy track!! Don't Look Back - a stunning energetic yet soothing opener to the album. A song all about leaving the past behind and moving on, she should release this without question. The Game Is Won - Very piano led and a tune that Elton John would be proud to have written. This song features mainly Lucie and a piano with soft background beats. Last Man Standing - slowing the pace right down Lucie concentrates not on lavish orchestral pieces or some poppy beats but just the basics her and her piano. Not single potential but...
