Piece of My Heart

Advantages: Excellent crime thriller
Disadvantages: New chapter when changing era

...Background: I had heard of Peter Robinson before, I just had never thought of reading one of his books. However, at our book club at work this month there was a special offer of four of his books for £10.00. At that price I thought I can't really go wrong. So here is my first review from this author. About this author: This time I hope I have the right man!! (See previous review). Not the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party but an accomplished international best selling crime author. Born and brought up in Yorkshire, he has lived for the past 25 years in North America. He is likened in writing style to Ian Rankin and he has written in total 18 novels of which 16 have been set around Chief Inspector Banks. About this book: The book begins with the discovery of a young girl's body in a sleeping bag at the open air...

Review of Piece of My Heart - Peter Robinson

Its Touched My Heart!

Advantages: Wireless Internet, Fun free games, great storage, beauty and a whole lot of fun!
Disadvantages: Shortish battery life and you can only charge it through your computer

...have downloaded for the Apple Store, some of these do cost but there are still loads of free ones to download! My personal favourite thing about the Ipod Touch is that when you want to rearrange the Icons on your Main Screen you hold one icon down until they all start to shake, somehow this always cheers me up because they all look quite adoreable! another fun feature is cover flow- if you hold your ipod touch sideways the screen will automatically change to face you and then you can sweep with your finger through all of your albums! genius! My advice to you is buy it now because it's tremendous fun and some serious technical genius all in a little stylish package!...

* From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart *

Advantages: Great Vocals , Beautiful Ballad
Disadvantages: Some Might Find It Long and Dull

...cheated on her and filmed it so she could see it. Britney married Jason Allen Alexander who was one of her life long friends.Their marriage lasted just over 50 hours. Britney then married dance Kevin Federline , who she has now divorced.Together they have two children : two year old Sean Preston and one year old Jayden James.Kevin currently has custody of the two children. Britney has sold an estimated eighty three million records worldwide and she was once named the most powerful popstar. From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart was Britney's fourth single released early 2000 in the United States Of America and Australia.I always wondered , whether it was single or not , when I'd hear Britney perform it in her shows as I thought it was just an unreleased song off her debut album , Baby One More Time. However , it was actually a single , so...

My Dear Heart - Please Look After You

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...My beloved husband had a heart attack last week. It was the scariest afternoon of my life from the moment he called me at work to say he?d had severe chest pains for over 3 hours and did I think he had swine flu, me telling him to put down the phone immediately and call an ambulance with his exact location to me getting through to the hospital over 2 hours later to find out he?d indeed had a heart attack but had been treated and was stable and in recovery. MY THOUGHTS ON ALL THIS? My dear heart Please always look after you. You are so important to me, like you would not believe. The thought of you not being around forever scares me more than you can ever imagine, like dying 1000 deaths at the same time. You might have quit smoking 5 years ago but the damage was already done. You might have changed your diet...

Review of Written from the Heart

Doesn't Quicken My Heart

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks with a retro 80s feel
Disadvantages: Nothing really stands out

...One of the great clichés in the music industry is that of ?the difficult second album?, the struggle to live up to expectations second time around after a promising debut. Maxïmo Park has this struggle when coming to follow up the Mercury Music Prize nominated ?A Certain Trigger?. Their second album, ?Our Earthly Pleasures? more than answered any questions on that score, but could ?Quicken the Heart? keep the momentum going? The album certainly starts well, with the driving guitar riff to ?Wraithlike? giving the song a lovely up-tempo indie-rock feel. The track in general is reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand or the Fratellis, although there is a strange break towards the end that does interrupt the flow of the song a little. But it?s certainly a lively start to the album. There?s quite a dark, but quite simple, bass intro to ?The...

How to Win My Heart

Advantages: Easy to play, easy to play well, good when bored
Disadvantages: can get a tad boring after a while

...mentioned unless you want to "shoot the moon" by winning all of these fourteen cards, hence giving twenty-six points to all other players. The points are added up by the computer and are shown at the end of every round. If you are playing manually (as I have done many times at school in Year Ten when bored out my brain!) then you will need to keep a pen and paper handy to keep a note of the cumulative scores of each player. Right, how to win. I am by no means an expert, but I can usually beat the computer if I concentrate hard enough. Firstly, think about which cards you are going to pass. If you have a lot of high cards and few low cards then you may wish to consider keeping the high cards, disposing of the low cards and try and obtain all of the points cards. Shooting the moon can only really be done when you have either no low hearts...

Review of Hearts

My Heart's In My Mouth

Advantages: Very tasty, if not in quite the way I expected
Disadvantages: They can get squashed and sticky

...Whilst trying to relive my youth with a taste of Sainsbury's iced lebkuchen stars, I happened to notice that the product had a partner in the range. Whilst I didn't expect to enjoy these chocolate lebkuchen hearts as much as their companions, I was intrigued enough to at least give them a try, especially when the generosity of Sainsbury's 2 250 gram bags for £1.50 is allowed for. As it turned out, the lebkuchen stars weren't as good as I remembered them to be from years before and it was with some trepidation I turned to what I had expected to be the lesser of the two. Early signs were not encouraging, as there is quite a deep chocolate smell when you open the packet, which was to be expected from the product description, but I was hoping for something that was more lebkuchen than chocolate. Fortunately, the layer of chocolate is...

I'll Gladly Give You My Heart

Advantages: Very good fun, You use your brains and wits
Disadvantages: A bit to addictive for me

...I’ll gladly give you my heart but I doubt you would want it. Not that you need a transplant or something but in this game a heart is 1 point and the object of the game is to get the least number of points possible. The game of Hearts comes as standard with all computers using Windows. Playing with this version is fun and will help you to learn the game. But if you’re looking for serious fun and action then this game has to be played online against real live players. The Object of the Game ----------------------------- The game is played by a minimum of 4 players. A certain score is set. For example 100 points. Whenever any one player reaches 100 points the game is over and the person who has the lowest number of points, from the balance three players, is the winner. Starting the Game ---------------------- One...

Review of Hearts

Inspector Banks - A piece of my heart.

Advantages: Believable characters, good interwoven plot.
Disadvantages: Some people won't like two stories in parallel.

...This was the sixteenth book (according to my sums anyway!) in the Inspector Banks series and anyone who has been bitten by the Banks bug will enjoy it I think. Banks is a very believable character that has been developed throughout the series, but new readers will find it just as easy to get used to Bank's quirks and foibles. However this novel is different in some respects as it is written in two time periods, set side by side, so if you don't like that kind of book it may upset your enjoyment. I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I started to read Chapter one and it was about a detective named Chadwick. Chadwick was the DCI who investigated a murder of a woman at a rock festival in 1969. The novel then switches to modern day where DCI Banks investigates the murder of a music journalist. Gradually the links between the two...

Review of Piece of My Heart - Peter Robinson

This Queen hasn't won my heart

Advantages: Smells nice, doesn't dry out the skin
Disadvantages: expensive for a soap, tight feeling after first using it, nothing special

...We're always being told how bad it is for your skin to use soap on your face as it's so drying, so when I saw Lush's Queen of Hearts soap advertised online as part of their Retro range, I was intrigued. Lush say that this is their only soap designed specifically for use on the face, as it is so gentle. The soap contains rose petal infusion, sweet almond oil, geranium oil, violet absolute as well as vanilla pod infusion and cocoa butter. As I'm sure you can imagine, this gives it a very floral, sweet, yet gentle scent, with the predominant fragrance being the rose. In fact, since I started using this around a month ago, every time I walk into my bathroom the first thing I can smell is roses. The appearance of the soap is rather unremarkable. Although it's advertised on the website in a heart shape, this is actually the shape...
