Universal Truth - Matrix & Futurebound

Advantages: Brilliant chemisty between brilliant actors, hilarious
Disadvantages: May be too crude for some

...together - at the beginning of the film Abby dislikes Mike and her performance showed real disgust and loathing. But, as they become closer, their friendship blossoms and subtle flirting begins, you start to see real feelings for each other creeping in. Admittedly, the film is a little predictable and anyone with half a brain can see that something will end up happening between Abby and Mike, but this doesn't make it any less enjoyable. It is full of witty humour and so many things had me laughing out loud, mostly coming from the straight-talking Mike. It may be a little crude for those who are quite prudish as it contains lots of blunt and sexually explicit conversations about male and female feelings and actions towards the opposite sex but it is only speaking the truth which, as it says in the title, is ugly.

Naked Truths is the follow on from Jo Carnegie's debut novel Country Pursuits. I haven't read this yet, although I do have a copy of it on my bookshelf upstairs, so I was worried about whether I would be able to get into this having not known any of the back story or what happened in the first book. I needn't have worried though, because the book was so well written and enjoyable I felt like I hadn't missed anything and got straight into the characters without a hitch. Anything related to Country Pursuits was well explained, so this book is perfect as both a follow on for those who know the characters but it works equally well as a stand alone book too which is great! The book starts... Read review
