It's Time For The Final Reckoning

Advantages: A good enjoyable read with a bit of historical information
Disadvantages: I would have avoided it after his debut novel

with a slight doubt in the back of my mind I decided that now I had the book I might as well give it a try and to be honest I'm now glad that I did. Once again Bourne uses the Jewish faith as the basis for his story, but this time it focuses on a holocaust survivor and his story during and since the war brought into the modern day. The book gives a detailed account of Gerald Merton's take on events that actually happened during and after the war. Merton has researched these events and blended them into a modern day story with incredible effect and the way the book is set out gives a bit of a history lesson as you learn more about his lead characters.

MOT time ... an essay

Advantages: What are you, insane?
Disadvantages: noacky noo

The last few years, though, with our newer car, MOT's have not been too bad, until this week, that it! We are going on holiday next week, so I was hoping that there would not been too much needed doing on the Renault. Daly this was not to be! I put ...

An Old Essay...

Advantages: ...
Disadvantages: ...

---------------------------- -The New School ---------------------------- This is an essay that I found from years and years ago when I was at school... "Time to wake up! Time to wake up" . Oh heck it's my mother and her wake up calls. It was 8 o' clock in the morning and I had a terrible unrelaxing night's sleep after all the thoughts and nervous tensions running through my brain worrying about what my newschool was going to be like. Could it be a good first day, or could it all go wrong and turn out as a disaster, I suppose theres only one way to find out... I slowly got up and with a deep yawn and a big stretch after the rough nights sleep, picked up my school uniform and walked to the bathroom with no thought of what was to come of school.
