Now expert already. Immediately went to McDonald to work and got a Happy Meal. Yea... Mamarazzi too stingy to buy food there. Hey! now the happy meal comes with fries!. Previous, they only give burger. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After settling my meal, I got started with "jobs" hunting. </div>

Then around noon, the "PARTY" started. This year celebration seems to be a bit "quiet". Got two cupcakes. One for Mamarazzi and one for myself.</div>

Halfway "playing", we bump into a friend and his mom. And off I went with my friend while Mamarazzi and his mom went to the Parent Lounge to rest. On and off we went and check in with moms.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We play till closing time. Earned a lot of Kidzo(Kidzania currency). But I didn't see anything that I want to buy. So gave out most of the Kidzo to others. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
When playing I didn't feel hungry at all. Mamarazzi kept asking me to drink water. Drink drink drink but don't feel like going to the washroom at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But after playing.... I was FAMISH(yeah...with capital letters and all). Papa treated me to Sushi Mentai.I ate more than 10 plates of sushi. YUMMY!!! </div>

We went to Restaurant Tarbush at Sunway Pyramid. It's a restaurant that serve middle eastern food. The restaurant is located at a rather secluded area at Marrakesh side. The good thing is that the place is pretty quiet. Good venue to makan-makan and chit-chat.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br />

<b><u>Summary as per<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17026996-the-undone-years" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> www.goodreads.com</a></u></b><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText5779633904835186800">On a rubber plantation
in Malaya, on the eve of the Second World War, three teenagers enjoy
their last summer of freedom and innocence. Matthew is the son of the
English planter who runs the estate and his best friend, Rajan, is the
son of his father's clerk - but despite their parents' disapproval of
their friendship, they feel like equals. When beautiful, strong-willed
Mei Ling arrives, both boys' heads are turned. But before any romance
can blossom, the Japanese invade.<br /><br />Against a backdrop of the fall
of Singapore, the communist insurgency and the eventual Japanese
surrender, The Undone Years is a very human story of love and betrayal
in a time of war</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span><b><u>My Comments : </u></b></span><br />
<span><br /></span>
Have you ever read a book that is both complicated and yet simple? I think some of you would have encounter this feeling too if you are a passionate reader.<br />
<br />
This is one of those complicated and yet simple.<br />
<br />
I have read a few books that is based on the Japanese Occupation of Malaya. Hence for me the plot of this book is quite straight forward and simple. The story is pun in such a way that for first timer or those who doesn't know the Malaya history would find it easy to catch up with what's going on during that time.<br />
<br />
The complicated part is the part where the author managed to highlight the emotion involved at that time . How each characters have been caught off guard when The Japanese invaded Malaya. Yup, many things that in normal days we swear we won't do but we might collapse and do it when desperate. Things that is done may have been meant to protect or an innocent act may in turn cause great harm to another.<br />
<br />
The author really had a flare in manipulation the characters. And I salute her for having the stomach to put in words on how the tortures were meted out to the prisoners.Those with a weak stomach, would be advisable to skip page
313-316.<br />
<br />
Overall
I love the story very much. It would be nice if the chemistry between
Matthew, Rajan and Mei Ling is more intense. As it is, I get the
feeling is that they are just good friends. Only at the ending did the
feelings became apparent.<br />
<br />
Am giving this book 4 stars out of 5 stars.<br />

Five-year-old Josh and his two older brothers lose their parents in a drunk-driving accident. A series of foster homes and a shocking tragedy eventually separate them, leaving Josh alone, angry, and distrustful of most everyone. At age eighteen, Josh strikes out on his own to find work. With only a high school education and few life skills, he is one step away from homelessness when Providence brings him to a place where he finds much more than physical shelter. For the first time in his life, Josh receives unconditional love and something every human being craves, the gift of "the blessing."</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The book includes an introduction and reader’s guide designed to identify and discuss the five elements of the biblical blessing that every person needs. Through the power of Josh's story, readers are shown how to give this gift to their children and others as outlined in the more than one million copy bestseller, The Blessing.</div>

<u><b>My Comments</b></u></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I received this wonderful book from the Publisher, Thomas Nelson in exchange for an honest review.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What I can say is that I like this book. It was heart rending reading about Josh and the condition which he grew up with. It's no wonder that Josh does not trust people easily and preferred to keep to himself. After all, a person can only takes so much heart break .</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I love the way, how the author brings Josh back and how he linked Josh's past to his present. It was rather shameful how his brothers had behave towards him although at that time they were still kids. But the one could also argue that his brothers are older than him. Who didn't the make the first move? Why should Anne be the one who made the effort?</div>

Rachel and Jordan's feelings for each other are hostile at first, but angelic intervention helps the two discover peace . . . and perhaps love.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The youngest and last unmarried of four sisters, Rachel Hartlzer spends most of her time helping with barn chores. Her role abruptly changes when her father hires Jordan Engles, the son he always wanted.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As Jordan takes on brotherly roles around the house, like escorting Rachel to the youth singing, the enmity between the two grows. Besides, Jordan has one foot in the Englisch world and is determined not to get involved with an Amish girl.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Neither realizes that God has sent an angel, Nathaniel, to help mend their hearts. The angel’s intervention helps them find peace and healing in accepting God's will for their lives.</div>

<i><b>My Comments</b></i></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.5em;">I have read several Amish fiction and usually I love them. However, I regret to say that this book some how disappoints me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.5em;">For me the characters seems a bit </span><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.5em;">stiltled. Both Racherl and Jordan just doesn't seems to "connect". Rachel is deemed to be impulsive and some what rebellious but when I read the book, her characters seems so boring.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jordan is from the outside world but it seems quite illogical that he can assimilate his life in the community so fast and his problem just does not sound convincing enough.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The redeeming point of the book is the "battle" between the angel <span style="background-color: white;">Nathaniel</span><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.5em;"> and demon Tangus.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.5em;">The plot is also slow for me. I had a hard time finishing this book.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, as I have always said, read the book for yourself before you judge as each person taste in books is different. What I like, you may not like and vice versa.<br />
<br />
For me it rated 2 stars out of 5.</div>

<u>Synopsis at <a href="http://mediacenter.tyndale.com/">Tyndale Media Center</a></u><br />
<br />
<i>As One Devil to Another</i> is an astonishing debut work that C. S.
Lewis’s biographer and foremost Lewis authority Walter Hooper calls “a
stunning achievement, the finest example of the genre of diabolical
correspondence to appear since this genre was popularized by C. S.
Lewis.” Enter into this chilling and diabolical tale, one that reveals
the very tricks and strategies of Hell. Through a series of letters
between devils created by Platt, senior devil Slashreap trains his young
protégé, Scardagger, to win an individual soul away from Heaven and
into their clutches. As the devils plot their way to triumph, they
reveal the spiritual dangers and risks we face in today’s society. Their
frighteningly accurate perspective on issues such as contemporary
technology and sexual mores is interwoven with timeless matters such as
the power of prayer, the purpose of suffering, and the promises held out
by Heaven . . . and Hell. Destined to become a modern classic, <i>As One Devil to Another</i>
is a brilliantly written, deeply unsettling perspective on
twenty-first-century society . . . a glimpse of ourselves through the
eyes of those who have embraced their underworldly existence.<br />

<u>My Comments :</u><br />
<br />
'As One Devil to Another' is a rather peculiar book, I must say. It's
nothing like the books that I have read before. It's very unique, and
quite a revelation in itself. When I first flipped through the book, I
feel awkward reading correspondences between devils. I feel rather
uncomfortable reading the book at first. It's rather...queer and
diabolical, but I got used to it and I have to say that I kinda enjoy
the originality of it's storyline. This book makes me think, and I'm sure
that you could relate to what the devils is doing in order to corrupt the world in this story.<br />
<br />
This story
is not for everyone, I suppose as it brings you into a strange,
underworld perspective and you got to keep your mind open when you read
this book and take it as it is.<br />
<br />
I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
Highly recommends it for thinkers and scholars alike.<br />

It began when Moses was on Mt. Sinai. Tired of waiting on the One True God, the twelve tribes of Israel began worshipping a golden calf through pagan revelry. Many received immediate death for their idolatry, but 40 were handed a far worse punishment—endless life on earth with no chance to see the face of God.</div>

This group of immortals became the 13th Tribe, and they’ve been trying to earn their way into heaven ever since—by killing sinners. Though their logic is twisted, their brilliance is undeniable. Their wrath is unstoppable. And the technology they possess is beyond anything mere humans have ever seen.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jagger Baird knows nothing about the Tribe when he’s hired as head of security for an archaeological dig on Mt. Sinai. The former Army Ranger is still reeling from an accident that claimed the life of his best friend, his arm, and his faith in God.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My Comments :</span></h3>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
When I read through the first few chapters, I was going to give this book 1 or 2 stars only.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
It was because the first few chapters were very confusing to me. Too many characters were introduced. For example Jagger who works as Security which has a prosthetic arms. In the beginning, I had the impression that he was something like Robocop but something just does not ring true/logic. How many would hire people with prosthetic to be the Head of Security?</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
This and add on with various member of the Tribe and introduction of their higher technology- invisible cloak and what not made me lot track of the story. I was not sure how to view the story - futuristic? Sci-fic? Moreover, their unique names of the Tribe members like Creed, Phin, Elias and the most confusing was Arella who happens to be neaveh; who happens to be the word "heaven" spelled backwards; made my head spin.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
In the beginning, it was not specified how many are they in the Tribe and their ages. Thus, I was quite surprised when there was kids in the Tribe too. Ageless.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
Another thing was the mysterious plan "Agag" by the Tribe. The plan seems rather complicated to me and at parts quite technical which I have difficulties in following. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
I was getting tired reading this but half way through the book, the story starts to grow interesting as the pace picks up. Am glad I was able to go through the book.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
I love the unexpected twist in the end of the story. I liked this book well enough but I think this is one of those books that I would read once only.</div>

Lucy Marsh’s worldly resources are running out, but she’s fiercely determined to care for her younger brother and sister. When she discovers that their father’s recent death was no accident, Lucy is eager to leave town. She accepts a proxy marriage she believes will provide safe refuge.

Nate Stanton always hoped he’d marry someday, but running the family ranch meant he had no time for romance. When his father deposits Lucy Marsh—a city girl—on his doorstep, with two siblings in the bargain, he expects ranch life will send her running on the first train out of town. But Lucy is made of tougher stuff than Nate imagined. When danger moves in, Nate realizes he’d give anything to protect Lucy and the children he’s grown to love. Even if it means giving up his ranch.</div>

<b><u>My Comments :-</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Blue Moon Promise by Colleen Colbie is amazing, and I have to say
that I admire the heroine's determination to keep her family together
and do things that she thinks is right.<br />
<br />
A wonderful book to read
if you happen to feel that the world is against you. The main theme of
this story is love, faith, hope and courage and we are constantly
reminded to persevere and not give up in this story. I just love the
heroine's character. The things that she did was truly admirable, and of
course, if you're a fan of sweet, subtle romance, this book will tickle
you fancy too. There's some romance and a little bit of courtship in
this book.Highly recommended to people who enjoy an inspirational
read. I rate this book 4 out of 5.<br />
<br />
I received this book from Thomas
Nelson Publish in exchange of fair and honest review. I was not

However, I was dead wrong about it. As the saying goes, "do not judge a book by its cover" and may I expand it to " by it synopsis too".</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The author, Jenny B Jones, did not only injected romance in the story but also loaded it with pain, humour and faith in God's will.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It was fun to read how the two of them, Beckett and Finley, met. Amazing to see how their path kept crossing. At first Finley wanted to avoid Beckett due to his Playboy reputation but slowly she discovered that what is reported is not what she sees.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I love Cathleen Sweeney.

<br />
Uncover a land that has been hidden for over a thousand years.<br />
<br />
Beneath the land of Britain, a great army is sleeping. On a visit to an old church, Daniel Tully and Freya Reynolds awaken two ancient knights from a centuries-old slumber. They are kidnapped and taken to an underground city that stands in peril, besieged in all directions by a vicious warhost. Nidergeard is the only thing protecting the upper world's blissful ignorance of mythical forces that have been held at bay since the creation of the world. In order to return home, Daniel and Freya must strike at the heart of the opposer's power.<br />
<br />
Fast forward eight years. Daniel, now homeless, still wages what he believes to be a righteous war against those he judges to be evil. Freya has tried to put the past behind her and concentrate on getting an education, a job, and a life. When they reconnect in Oxford, unseen forces begin to ally against them. Daniel is pulled through a portal and into another world. Freya is abducted by someone—some thing—posing as her professor and drugged to keep her in a delusional state. After they finally break free, neither can deny the truth . . . they must return to Nidergeard and resume the battle.<br />
<br />
With a thrilling narrative that draws heavily upon British mythology, The Realms Thereunder will quickly establish Ross Lawhead as a major new voice in fantasy.<br />
<br />
<u>My Comments :</u><br />
<br />
<br />
This is the first book of The Ancient Earth Trilogy by Ross Lawhead.<br />
<br />
First of all am not really a fan of fantasy fiction and I find that fantasy novel are hard to follow and relate to. What made me request this book was the synopsis sounded great. Well, am happy to say this book did not disappoints me.<br />
<br />
Initially, I find that it was rather hard to for to start reading this book as there are several stories being revealed simultaneously. It was rather confusing for me<br />
<br />
However, once I have grasps who is who in the story and what timeline the story being told, I found that it's a really exciting book to read. Still, I finds the constant flash back was a bit disturbing.<br />
<br />
The positive side is that there were a few unexpected twists in the story. I love that in a book.<br />
<br />
I found that the characters are well developed. It was really heart warming to see them showing concern for each other well being.<br />
<br />
Although this book is classified as Christian novel, am glad it's not preachy sort. In fact, there were a few instances where some crude language are spotted. In my opinion, this can't be help as that was what being called in that situation.<br />
<br />
After reading this Book 1, I hope to be able to read the other two books when they are published.<br />

But today, I want something different. Papa bought a "Share Share Computer". Mamarazzi said it's a "Tarak boleh" coz I kept monopoly the "Share Share Computer". Papa said it's a "Tabulet".<br />
<br />
I don't care la. I want Mamarazzi to read the e-Book which Auntie Little Bird sent me for my "Share Share Computer".<br />

Eh Eh? This buku is about my Alien kor kor kah? Oooo... rupanya it is not. It is betul betul about alien worr.<br />

<br />
This book is fairly new. It was just published on 1st August 2011 by Capstone Publisher. The author's name is Dahl Pares. The cover looks a bit scary, isn't it? But the story is really interesting.<br />
<br />
It is about a young boy who visits an antique shop.The shopkeeper then shows the boy his snow globes collection, but the boy is not interested in it.<br />
<br />
Yuck! snow globes.. That's for girls lah. For me, I'm only interested in toy cars, but Mamarazzi said am so "ganas".<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, back to the story. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltPhkBatwsal0w_veDG45CRs344_Kn52bOLWQJj2stolLFc9KDOYSG6NNwI241h6GKTVKAgGZpYewUG_RXpsvB5QW_E3zR7jqJeE17gr2XUf_KBk5gBDYeAzFcdL1CpSzYqgg6lrzfdk/s1600/smj+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltPhkBatwsal0w_veDG45CRs344_Kn52bOLWQJj2stolLFc9KDOYSG6NNwI241h6GKTVKAgGZpYewUG_RXpsvB5QW_E3zR7jqJeE17gr2XUf_KBk5gBDYeAzFcdL1CpSzYqgg6lrzfdk/s1600/smj+011.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Den...tup tup tup.... suddenly the boy found himself trapped inside the snow globe! Just like me trapped in the "kandang" last time.<br />
<br />
Gosh! the shop owner is a bad fella and likes to collect human inside the snow globe. So the boy's adventures begin, and he have to find a way out from the snow globe or be trapped inside of it forever!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />

<br />
The story is very interesting. It got me hooked, and can see illustrative picture from the "Share Share Computer".<br />
<br />
There's two version of the story. One on the boy's side, another one is on the alien's side. Hmmm... good vs. evil. Interesting. This book tells the story from both side. Good right? Like that reader wun be biased and simply judge who is good and who is bad. <br />
<br />
Personally, I think this is a good story. It makes me think that sometimes, good people can be bad, and bad people can be good and have their own reasons for doing things.<br />
<br />
People always kesian those good people who seems to kena bully all the time. But in truth, you cannot just look on the surface. Sometimes, bad people in those stories are just misunderstood.<br />
<br />
This book is a thought provoking read. It teaches me not to simply judge people. I highly recommends this book to little boys like me. It is a fun, easy and exciting book to read.<br />
<br />
I give this book full stars because I think this book will change my life forever.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the first book of Alexia Lindale Series by Robert Whitlow. Alexia is a young and prominent lawyer who specialise in divorce cases.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One day, she was approached by Rena to help her with her case. Rena does not want and divorce. Instead she want her husband to be taken off the Life Support system. She told Alexia that is what her husband Baxter Richardson would have wanted. Standing in her way was her father in law.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At first I thought this book is something like John Grisham or Sue Grafton sort of book. However, it's not. I guess each author will have their own style of writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was interesting to know that who pushed Baxter over the cliff in the beginning. However, I wished I know what's the motive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's very frustrating to see Alexia being duped into helping the murderous Rena. And I understand how Baxter's father must have been feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Along the way, Alexia encountered the Lord. It was interesting to see how the plot changes from then.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, this has been quite a good read. There are still room for improvement.</div>

After a barn raising accident, Judith Fischer’s convinced she’s met an angel. However, her attempts to convince others end up frustrating her Old-Order Amish community. Only Andrew Lapp believes her, but the rest, including Levi Plank, the man’s she’s waited to marry, demand she forget the nonsense. Meanwhile, her younger sister Martha has taken a fancy to Levi and sees her sister's controversy as a perfect distraction for turning Levi's head.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In a dream, the angel tells Judith she must choose her path. As her faith continues to grow, so do her feelings for Andrew. Will she continue to place her hope in the angel’s message, even if it means losing all she knows and loves?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>My Comments :</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This is the 1st book of Ruth Reid's "A Heaven On Earth" series. There are 3 books in this series</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">She had done an amazing work on this first book as the book certainly give a refreshing twist to the usual Amish fiction. Just imagine, nobody believes that Judith have seen an angel. Instead f supports, she was in fact frown upon and thought to be sowing discord among the community.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The character of were quite well developed and it shows us how important to held on something that you believe in inside of just going with the flow. Though our faith may waver sometimes but God would come knocking at our door to lead us back to his folds just like Jesus Parables on the Lost Lamb.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I finished this book in one reading as the story was good and easy to read.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">There is only one complaint about this book. Well, actually it's two. I find that the cover looks rather dull. Without reading the synopsis, I don't think I would pick up this book in the stores. But this is only my personal opinion for each person taste is different. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My second complaint is, this book may have spoilt me for the second instalment as I would have higher expectation for the second book.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Have you watched<a href="http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/dvd/gnomeo--juliet/8%3a736611/" target="_blank"> "Gnomeo & Juliet"</a> the movie yet? If you haven't, you ought to run to your nearest cinema and watch it. It's a highly captivating movie.The movie is loosely based on Shakespeare’s well known play, Romeo & Juliet".<br />
<br />
The movie is about garden ornaments. They comes alive when their owners are not around. And like their original "Romeo and Juliet' counterparts, the Montagues and the Capulets despises each other. Fate, on the other hand, have other things planned for them. Their respective children, Gnomeo and Juliet crossed path and fell in love with each other.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unlike the original "Romeo and Juliet", bloodbath did not occur following the event where Gnomeo and Juliet fell in love with each other. Instead of having the characters killed off, humorous predicaments were placed on both Monatagues and the Capulets.<br />
<br />
I was not expecting much from this movie as the synopsis says it's based on "Romeo & Juliet". I thought there would be sickeningly sweet romantic scenes where only girls would like to watch.<br />
<br />
Alas, I was wrong. Even though the movie is loosely based on Shakespeare's play, it's not exactly a pure fluff or a chic-flick. It's aimed to entertain viewers of all age.<br />
<br />
Young audience like me would definitely love this movie as it's filled with not only good humour, but packed with action and moral values as well.<br />
