Under The Munka Moon II - Alice Russell

The Almost Moon

Advantages: Unusual, excellent writing skills
Disadvantages: Sometimes can get a bit annoying

I wasn't really expecting much with this book, as honestly the only reason I picked it up was because I was looking for another of Sebold's book at the library. They didn't have it, but they did have The Almost Moon, and as I hadn't read it before I thought I'd give it a go. The plot is based around the character of Helen, and her mother Clair. On the very first page Helen kills her mother, and the rest of the novel is based around the aftermath of this and the story of her life leading up to the moment of Clair's murder. It looks at what Helen's life was like with Clair, the relationships she has with her daughters which she feels have been strained because of her mother, her ex husband, and her father. The book is extremely interesting to follow. For starters, the subject is completely unusual and therefore interesting, I ...

Review of The Almost Moon - Alice Sebold

Russell Hobbs 2 Slice White toaster

Advantages: deforst, adjustable slots, cancel button
Disadvantages: only 2 slots

COST: £14.99 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Comet AGE: 6 months COLOUR: White SPECIAL FEATURES: high lift, cancel button, wide slots and 'cool wall' covering Bought from my local comet shop this russel hobbs toaster was a much needed appliance in our house. Since ours came with very little kitchen essentials we had spent over a year cooking our toast under the grill. I know what you're thinking why spend so long before buying a toaster when you can pick one up from Tesco for around a fiver. The fact is we'd never thought we'd really need one and since we won some vouchers for comet we thought we'd splash out on a fancy brand name one. This toaster is pretty basic in fuction, it only holds two slices and works by pressing the lever down, you can adjust the power setting but only works if you set it before you press down the lever as ...

Review of Russell Hobbs 9206

I'm over the moon!

Advantages: Great to look at, really really easy to use
Disadvantages: Lacks the functions of similarly priced machines

The Indesit Moon is, as far as kitchen appliances go, a thing of beauty. Whilst I know deep down that it is very very wrong to like a washing machine this much, darn it, I just can't help myself! I'm going to be straight with you - housework isn't my thing. By any stretch of the imagination! So when my boyfriend and I decided to finally get our own place, a washing machine was not top of my list of purchases...that it until I fell in love in the middle of Comet...well, maybe love is a bit strong...but the Moon certainly it eye-catching. Simple and sleek, with a solid contrasting door (mine is silver with a blue door - lovely stuff!) and a light up control panel, it just looks strikingly different to run of the mill washers. Most washing machines look boring, or sturdy, or economical. This just looks?nice. The moon isn't just ...
