Advantages: Captivating - fascinating - brilliant story and acting.
Disadvantages: none

.... Still mourning over the loss of his wife many years later, Alex receives an email one day advising him to connect to a certain website at a precise time. Intrigued, Alex follows the instructions on the email, and what he sees will change his life forever. The website is actually a live CCTV camera in some unknown city, and beneath this camera is Margot - very much alive and staring straight at the camera. As Alex attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding his wife's death, the discovery of dead bodies leads the police to reopen the case, and the evidence against Alex begins to pile up, making him the prime suspect in Margot's murder. However, regardless that Margot's body had been in the coffin at the moment of her burial, Alex is no longer certain that she is actually dead - unfortunately, turning to the police for assistance is not...

Review of Tell No One (DVD)

No way - I'm telling everyone!!

Advantages: A true thriller
Disadvantages: Your work will be put aside for this addictive read you can't put down!!

... TELL NO ONE HARLAN COBEN INTRODUCTION I was never really a big crime/thriller reader, but since discovering the works of Harlan Coben I have found myself somewhat addicted. The latest Coben book that I have read is "Tell No-one" it took me a day to gobble up the 346 pages, I just couldn't put it down. This is the best Coben book that I have read so far - superb. THE AUTHOR Harlan Coben is an American author of mystery novels and thriller from Newark, New Jersey. He is the only author to win all three of America's crime writer's awards - the Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award. The plots of his books usually involve resurfacing of unresolved actions from the past like murders, fatal accidents, etc. Coben studied politics with Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code) and worked in his...

Review of Tell No One - Harlan Coben

No H.A.R.M. In Trying

Advantages: Decent weapons and gadgets, groovy theme tune, good game length
Disadvantages: Graphics poor in places, long loading times

...Stop the terrorist organization H.A.R.M. as sexy secret agent super-spy Cate Archer in this sixties styled first-person shooter! THUMBS-UP The dialogue can be long winded at times, but it's wonderfully written, and is served well by the voice-acting. In the missions you might find yourself stopping to eavesdrop in on a conversation between guards - cool! "Cause no one lives forever/but evil never dies/so learn to laugh at danger/never surrender/cause no one lives forever.", sorry I had to quote these lyrics - the theme tune is so damn groovy! The music fits in with the game's 60's theme. There are gadgets to go ga-ga for. Though not great in their execution, with a couple making as keys for a lock, it's the thought that counts - sunglasses which are not only stylish but takes pictures as well as detect lasers and mines...

Review of The Operative: No One Lives Forever (PS2)

Clarins One Step Cleanser.. no thank you!

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Makes your skin feel really oily..

...I bought this Clarins 'One Step Facial Cleaner' when I was in Duty Free, I needed a new cleanser so I thought I would give this one a go since I have never tried it before. This particular cleaner is meant to cleanse and tone in one easy step, which I thought was good since it would cut some time out of cleansing and toning separately. The cleanser comes with orange extract and is meant to 'renew radiance'. The bottle is quite a simple design. It is made of see-through clouded white plastic with a red 'Clarins' logo at the stop of the bottle. It then has the name of the cleanser in French and then underneath that 'One Step Facial Cleanser With Orange Extracts'. The bottle has a white plastic lid which twists off and the cleanser comes of a spout at the top of the bottle. Since the cleanser comes out of a tiny hole at the top...

Review of Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser

No Questions. Well, maybe one.

Advantages: You will be addicted just as soon as you work out how the game is played
Disadvantages: Only one show per day will have you longing for tomorrow's game!

...22 identical sealed boxes, 22 sums of money, 22 players, and no questions, except one. Deal, or no deal? All hail to Noel Edmonds, my favourite TV show has returned. Somehow I have managed to get through the long dry summer without this show, and now it is back on my Telly Box screen I could do a lap of honour round the neighbourhood, I'm really truly that pleased. Deal or no deal, for the un-initiated, is a game show with a bit of a difference. There are no questions, and it's completely down to chance, with players trying to guess where the low money is, keeping the high money still in play. The blue numbers are the low amounts of money (like 1p, £1, £500, etc) and the red numbers are high amounts, going up as far as £250K. Nice! Each round consists of the player asking for boxes to be opened. It's all random and the only...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

Tell No One - Top Quality Subtitled Film

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: Subtitles were white, sometimes over light background

...This is a great film. I originally read the book by Harlan Coben, who is my favourite author. His books are so gripping, I struggle to put them down, so I was very pleased that one of them was being made into a film. The film tells the story of Dr. Alex Beck, who, 8 years after the murder of his wife, receives some emails that take him on a journey of scandal, murder and some surprising revolutions. The acting in this film is better than I expected, as I only knew one name, Kristin Scott Thomas. She gives a brilliant performance as Alex's sister's girlfriend. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the film, as it seemed to be a very difficult task to take the most important elements from the book and fit them into a film, but I think it works well. My partner, who doesn't really like the kinds of books I like, also found it enjoyable...

One2no one but myself

Advantages: Good message centre
Disadvantages: Want a list, the reception is the main one

...One2One Pay As You Go could be described as ok to just below par. This is the first network (and the only one) that I have used since getting my first mobile phone and don’t really think it is up to much to honest from what I have heard about other networks such as Orange and BT Cellnet. Pay As You Go Vouchers The best point about being part of this service is that the vouchers are readily available and easy to credit your account with although you have to go into the services (number 121) to do so. Most shops sell Pay As You Go vouchers in £10, £20 and £50 blocks (possibly others as I have never had to credit my account yet). Personally I love the voucher system and many other networks do the same that is why I might change my network, or get a newer phone as mine is a 3210 and it is beginning to look pretty awful compared...

Review of One 2 One

Storytelling within Storytelling...

Advantages: great characters and storytelling
Disadvantages: none worth mentioning

However, Ellie is still haunted by events in 1989 where her older sister Lila was brutally murdered. Lila herself was an incredibly smart young woman, on the verge of some mathematical breakthrough.

Review of No One You Know - Michelle Richmond

One sexy Net Book!!

Advantages: Small for travelling, Fast, Stylish, Great Battery, Webcam Built in.
Disadvantages: No Cd Drive:(

...of course the Acer. It was on special offer of only £199 and included a free 8GB memory expansion card. At first I thought it was too small, but for the price I couldn't go wrong, even if I used it just for travelling and college. So off I went and had the last one left in stock. It looked really cute because of its size and was a metallic blue color, I had to have it! What is a Net Book? ****************** Well, a Net Book is a really compact laptop designed mainly for use on the internet. They are really small so they are easy to travel with but still have a decently sized screen for ease of use. Net Books are not designed for gaming but will easily handle everyday tasks such as word processing and drawing of course. They also generally have a longer battery life than most laptops due to smaller components such as the screen and no CD...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

No-one expects the Inquisition!

Advantages: Very exciting, great plot and very real characters
Disadvantages: Only one trilogy by this author so far

...off a Cambressian manta, who have been attacked by a huge black Manta. No-one can think to whom it can belong. At last they reach Pharassa, which is as far as their ship is going. They go to the Temple to seek lodging, and are greeted by two Sacri priest guards clothed in red and white, who seem strangely cold and unapproachable. Later Cathan and Sarbaddon overhear some plotting against the Prime. After some discussion together they start to wonder if the black manta could possibly belong to the Domain itself. They soon gain passage in a war-manta. Within moments of the manta leaving Pharassa, they too are attacked by the black manta. Black armoured figures board, and Cathan is forced to fight, something he has never needed to do in earnest. They are helped by a mage-priest who is traveling with them. However the mage is killed...
