4.0 out of 5 stars Good series, Aug 22 2011
This review is from: Single Handed Set 1 (DVD)
I really enjoyed this series. I see these shows on TV when I visit England and Ireland but have to wait for years to see them on Canadian and US PBS.
Good to see someone new in a series. Worth purchasing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent acting, Aug 22 2011

Good film, Michael Kitchen is so young. I've been watching him for a number of years in many TV production. Worth buying if you like British Film.

3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, Aug 22 2011
This review is from: Sarah's Key (Paperback)
I was so disappointed in this book, I saw an advertisment for the movie coming out and since I prefer books to film I purchased it for my Kindle, I did not read the more negative reviews,I won't make that mistake again. I felt this was just too simplified reading. It only kept me reading as I wanted to find out what happened to Sarah, the idea was a good one. I felt I was dragging myself through the book a paragraph at a time. Very repetitive and writing over and over again the facts which had already been covered. It reminded me of several books I have read over the years. If I know I'm reading page by page the writing is very poor. I just kept hoping it would ge better it didn't. It seems like a writer once they become known need to turn out a book every year rather than one good book every few years or they are a poor writer and just fill pages. Another reviewer said it reminded her of Danielle Steele, I haven't read her books in years for the very same reason. I found The Kite Runner to be the same. Great reviews but a poor read. I keep hearing 'what a great book' and I'm thinking am I the only one who doesn't feel that way.
I can't say much more without being repetitive myself.
