Disadvantages: Unimpressive visuals; hammy voice acting; can become repetitve; short story.

fairly simple, you have your standard jump, punch, kick and block buttons. There are also a few combos to learn as well, and trust me you'll need these combos to survive.

Review of The Monk - Matthew Lewis

She had an Affair with a Monk?

Advantages: A short, easy to read book. Worth a look if you enjoyed the Secret LIfe of Bees.
Disadvantages: Unbelievable and annoying.

The Mermaid Chair. ********************* From the author of 'The Secret Life of Bees' comes a second novel enchantingly called the Mermaid Chair, recently published back in 2005.
