Brilliant production and marvellous acting. So sad to see what King George went through in a time when his disorder was a mystery. Brutal treatment. He only escaped madness for a short while. Can't stand Rupert Everett but enjoyed everyone else in the cast.Brilliant production and marvellous acting. So sad to see what King George went through in a time when his disorder was a mystery.

I agree with the previous comment except for the last part. They won't stop drinking?? etc.? Natives are a proud nation and only seek respect and acceptance for their way of life. Don't we all? The fact that they won't assimilate is not to blame for their isolation. It is more that our culture has nothing of value to offer them (in their eyes). Well worth watching.
P.S. Sam Shepard's teeth are bad in this film which contribute to his role as a snake.I agree with the previous comment except for the last part. They won't stop drinking?? etc.?

Don't have much to add to the previous comments except that yes, Michele is much more appealing than Luca Z. in this role and the episodes are consistently more well written compared to the later versions.

Being an older white woman doesn't typically give me access to the black hip-hop world in the US. But that's what books are for! This was a lucky discovery. Very well written and totally engaging.
The Law of Divine CompensationThe Law of Divine Compensation, BookOn Work, Money, and Miracles

Comment:
I was disappointed to discover that this book is entirely based on A Course in Miracles. Had I known, I would not have bothered with it. I studied ACIM 30 years ago and don't need this author to cherry-pick the lessons therein. It takes some fortitude and patience to get through A Course in Miracles since it is some 1,000+ pages long, and some parts are hard to digest and/or objectionable. To each his own. I give this work no stars for its lack of originality, but if it helped some readers then I'm glad.I was disappointed to discover that this book is entirely based on A Course in Miracles.

You don't need me to tell you that this is an excellent series. However, if I wanted to see so much blood and guts, I would have become a surgeon myself! The last episode is a bawl-fest. I have a problem with them dispatching Dr. Melendez so quickly when no mention was made of his condition prior to this. The surgical saw that Dr. Murphy used to hack away at the rebar couldn't possibly remain sharp enough to cut a leg bone. I'm not happy.You don't need me to tell you that this is an excellent series.

Compelling read. I would never want to witness what Dr. Gallagher has seen in his career of healing. Brave man. His years of research and practice speak to his dedication in unravelling this phenomenon. The message is clear: dabble in the dark side at your own peril.Compelling read.

This is a fun romp through fantasy land! Loved it. It was a treat to hear the French I grew up with in Montreal although I still needed the subtitles to help me along. Had some good laughs. The lead actor did a great job so did the whole cast who were really into it and enjoying themselves. Wouldn't mind owning this one.This is a fun romp through fantasy land! Loved it.

I don't know why people like this movie so much. Based on truth or not, it is still filmed as a fairy tale. (The guy's obsession with Bruce Springsteen is nothing to celebrate.) I much prefer the gritty reality of the film "What will people say."

I like to read new authors to see what they can bring to the mystery genre. As the action takes place in Nigeria, I was intrigued. But not for long. I didn't appreciate being dragged through the underbelly of Lagos's prostitution ring, the deceit, the foul language and foul play. These can be found anywhere and everywhere. I soon closed the book and returned it.I like to read new authors to see what they can bring to the mystery genre. As the action takes place in Nigeria, I was intrigued. But not for long.

I first read this in my 20s and was captivated by it. It was chockful of information about Japanese culture. The research was impeccable. Fast forward some 45 years, I find the details overmuch and drag the story down. A good editor could trim this book down to half its size. Recommended for younger readers.I first read this in my 20s and was captivated by it. It was chockful of information about Japanese culture. The research was impeccable.

Well done series on girls and women who are thrust into the Catholic maw at young and impressionable ages. Having been there, I can relate to the repression of individuality, the force-fed doctrines never to be questioned, and total lack of joy in simply being alive since we are all sinners. The stories are varied and complex -- kept my attention throughout. ( Note: It was Pope John XXIII who instigated modern changes in the church not Pope John XXII who lived in the middle ages. The "special features" got it wrong.)Well done series on girls and women who are thrust into the Catholic maw at young and impressionable ages.

Lame movie. I didn't like seeing Russell Crowe as a fat slob nor did I appreciate Ryan Gosling's young daughter being placed in environments she should never be in, and saying stupid lines like, "if you kill him, I'll never speak to you again."

Not my favourite. Clete's violence is so extreme as to make him a thug and a totally unsympathetic character (unlike in previous books). James Lee Burke should not venture into the supernatural. It doesn't suit him. Leave that to John Connolly who does it best.Not my favourite.
