Reviews and stuff

Books Recently Consumed:

You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again: Hollywood Uncut by Julia Phillips.
A brutally honest look at how Hollywood functions behind the scenes by the Producer of The Sting and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Definitely not for children -- it's crude and confronting.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling.
For kids and adults alike, this is the 6th book in the 7 book series. Questions are answered but new ones are raised. I'm getting an idea of where this saga might end now. Exciting stuff -- but only if you've read the previous 5!

Goldie Hawn: A lotus grows in the mud by Goldie Hawn.
An interesting autobiography about a girl who built an empire out of playing dim. Surprisingly, she is smart and lucid. It was her dyslexia that caused people to assume incorrectly. Pretty cool.

Tell No-one by Harlan Coben.
An absolutely thrilling ride about a man who discovers that perhaps his wife is not dead after all. Exciting stuff, and can be read in one night.

Music Recommended by His Highness:

Never Gone by the Backstreet Boys.
Great poppy CD, with very catchy numbers as you'd expect from these dudes.

Hopes and Fears by Keane.
A british trio who write some of the most beautiful melodies and lyrics. These songs are ethereal and gorgeous, helped by a great voice. Perfect emotional pop.
