Advantages: Learn how to deal with stressful situations calmly.
Disadvantages: none

...I bought this book Life On The Other Side...mainly because I just love the famous psychic Sylvia Browne and all of the amazing and unbelievable things she knows! Besides that the gift of being psychic...to me is so interesting and special. In Sylvia's book Life On The Other Side she tells you about her hardships and the most mind boggling experiences she has to face as a child psychic. Sylvia will introduce you to her spirit guide Francine and will also introduce you to her beloved Grandma Ada...Francine and Ada together guide Sylvia through her toughest moments as a psychic (basically they try to make Sylvia see that being psychic is a gift of life and not the terrible and scary life she thinks it is) As the book goes on Sylvia describes in complete detail what it looks and feels like on the other side.(From what I have read...

Advantages: A couple of superb songs and my all time favourite track
Disadvantages: A filler album really

...This album comes from the middle period of the second phase of the Moody Blues history. The line up had consolidated following the loss of Mike Pinder and Patrick Moraz was established as the keyboard player. The last but one album (‘Long distance Voyager’) had been a huge success and the loyal fans continued to flock to the British and American tours. ‘The Other Side’ presents a heavier sound than most previous albums. There is still the presence of the driving beat and the ‘wall of sound’ that became the group’s hallmark. However the tracks themselves are somewhat repetitive in nature and apart from one ballad there is a lack of the distinctive and plaintive lyrics this time from Justin Hayward. It is relatively short at 42 minutes playing time. Released in May 1986, it reached a peak at No.9 in the US album charts and No.24... Read review

Advantages: Funny, can't put down
Disadvantages: disappointed with the ending for one character!!!

...I bourght this book quite recently from Morrisons in one of their '2 for £8' deals. The RRP is £6.99. The cover is light blue with a picture of a woman on the phone in the bottom right hand corner. The back cover explains a little about each character but does not go in to much detail. This book is by best selling author Marain Keyes who has also written Rachels Holiday and Angels amongst others. Other side of the story has 648 pages and is based on three main characters. These are Jojo, Gemma and Lily. Jojo is a literary agent working for a large, successful company in London, Gemma works in Events Management and lives in Ireland. Following the split of her parents and the help of her friend Susan, she decides to write a book. Lily has a young daughter called Ema, lives in London and is a writer. Gemma and Lily are connected... Read review

Advantages: Great to read
Disadvantages: None

...About the author: Bestselling author of Watermelon, Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, Rachel's Holiday, The Last Chance Saloon, Angels, Sushi for Beginners, Under the Duvet, and her latest, The Other Side of the Story. Born in 1963 in West Ireland (funny enough, she was one month overdue and is know born under the star sign Virgo, exactly like me!), Marian was brought up in Dublin. Being a law graduate, Marian certainly never intended to become a writer. Her low self-esteem led to a suicide attempt and a drinking problem, however after Rehab she stayed sober. She started writing in 1993 and her first book was published in 1995. Her career took off and after living in London since she was twenty, she recently moved back to Dublin. Her newest book is set in Los Angeles, where she was spending a month's time doing research. The other... Read review

Advantages: A wealth of information not easily found in other books
Disadvantages: Some complex themes that not all will be willing to believe

...I have been recently reading more and more on spiritualism and have found many books relaying the same information as the previous... the basics. I had never heard of Sylvia Browne until one day someone had mentioned her name so I did a search on Amazon and went for the first book that came up that was written by her. The book not only includes the basics of spiritualism and how the author and her family became involved with spiritualism but the author has regressed several people and has a direct link with her spirit guide and together has compiled an informative and extensive book on spiritualism and more specifically as the title suggests "Life on The Other Side". You will discover what "Life on The Side " is like, from its geography, how the buildings are, what your daily activities may be, the process of getting... Read review

Advantages: Soothing, Great Solos
Disadvantages: This isnt the bands real side

...OK. Lets get this straight, Godsmack is an average band. Nothing great about them. Yes they have some good songs but nothing more than that. That said, this record is an exception. It really does show Godsmack's other side. This seven track record is an EXTREMELY good record. It shows Godsmack's other side. That side being their acoustic side. Godsmack is a hard rock, electric guitar roaring band. This album on the other hand is unplugged and acoustic. The record opens with the track RUNNING BLIND. Very soothing track. Has a very good acoustic guitar sound and also has a super acoustic guitar solo. Vocals are clean and very well done. Sully's voice on this record is really good. Second track is Re-Align, and this ones my favorite. It has a groovy opening. It seems that there are two acoustic guitars working here. Again, very... Read review

Advantages: pick up put down book that you cant put down!!
Disadvantages: it ends!!

...the story is different from her other novels it is in sections sort of like Lilly's story..Gemmas story.. I find this is a good way of writing and it all comes together in the end. I read this book in bed, at work, out shopping and even on the exercise bike at the gym I enjoyed it so much, it lets you escape totally I cant wait for the next Marian Keyes novel each one is better than the last keep them coming please.. But remember "there is always the other side of the story!!" A Bit about the Author, Marian Keyes.. Marian writes as though everything is a personal experience, she is very feeling in her writing and the emotions she explains come across very realistic. I cry during her books, I seem to feel everything that the character does, they are all very likeable people and when you read her books you can always... Read review

Advantages: Frothy, light good fun, easy reading, funny
Disadvantages: Not Keyes' best work

...I enjoyed this book overall. Keyes is known for chick lit with a brain, and this does not disappoint. As ever, there's plenty of humour, especially some witty comments about the publishing world! TOSOTS is a departure from Keyes' other books, in terms of setting and style. The story is basically a romp involving a literary agent, an author and an ex friend of the author. It is a bit predictable. The characters are believable and three-dimensional, as in her other books. I do think a bit more time spent on developing them would be good. The premise of three interwoven strands is slightly contrived, and more suited to a TV series or film. Keyes writes chick lit which appears to be shallow on the surface, but have some deep insights into life and relationships. This is much more true of her other novels than this one. It is basically... Read review

Advantages: Head banging Music to die to.
Disadvantages: None!

...Wee what can i say about this particular album. Its fresh! Its new and its simply delicious. Lets go through the tracks one by one. 1. Twisted Transister- Catching and most definatly different. Its an almost strange mix of Adema meets Korn. And its simply tasty. We'll all be head banging to this becuase its just a head banger itself. 2. Politics- Classic Korn. A strange mix of what they feel while still bringing the same good hard rocking beat they are so good at. 3. Hypocrites- Another alod style Korn, minus the creepy guitars. Bascially about what the song says is about. 4. Souvenir- Less heavier than alot of the other tracks but good harmonies! so worth listeining too. 5. 10 or a 2-way- A good heavier song, sometimes hard to understand, but the bass line is just kicking. Also kind of classic old Korn 6... Read review

Advantages: really enjoyable, addictive, easy to read,well developed characters
Disadvantages: none

...With eight other bestsellers under her belt, Marian Keyes has unsurprisingly done it again with her newest novel 'The Other Side Of The Story'. Having read only 'Angels' by Marian, I was unsure of what to expect as, although Angels was good, it wasn't outstanding and when I bought this I was looking forward to seeing if there was more to Marian than what I'd seen so far. *** Plot *** Gemma, JoJo and Lily are all successful women who are linked to each other in different ways. Jojo the high flying literary agent is constantly watching out for promotion and trying to keep her complicated love life with her married boss a secret. Always on the lookout for fresh new talent, she was thrilled when she managed to get new author 'Lily Wright' to bestseller status. Lily Wright, new bestselling author of 'Mimi's Remedies' lives...
