Way Past Midnight [Digipak] - Pork Belly Futures

Four Past Midnight

Advantages: 4 novel-length King stories in one volume.
Disadvantages: Some cliché ideas and narration.

Idly flicking through the Stephen King section on Amazon, I happened to come across 'Four Past Midnight' - a collection of King stories I'd never read before. I purchased it, thinking that 4 stories would be a quick, but entertaining read. So, when it arrived on my doorstep I was somewhat surprised by the hefty packaging and brick shaped book. At a total of 676 pages these stories can, in no way, pass off as 'short'. Realistically, if King had extended them slightly they could all have been sold as novels of a reasonable length. 'Four Past Midnight' allows King to prove to an audience that he can adapt his style of writing to almost any fiction genre. In these four stories, he focuses on his old favourite - horror, with an equally pleasing sci-fi interlude in the form of the first story, 'The Langoliers'. The Langoliers - This is ...

Review of Four Past Midnight - Stephen King

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - Present & Future!

Advantages: Witty dialogue, extremely entertaining with a few laugh-out-loud moments.
Disadvantages: Nonne

within Connor when he was at his most vulnerable. Years later, Uncle Wayne long dead and Connor having reached the pinnacle of debauchery and callousness, he is invited to his younger brother's wedding. Unfortunately for Paul, Connor agrees to attend, but he's got his own personal agenda, and it has nothing to do with supporting his brother in his decision... instead, Connor plans to save his brother from what he thinks will be a humongous mistake. Fortunately for everyone concerned, Uncle Wayne puts in an appearance and finally takes responsibility for the monster he's created by rounding up three of the quirkiest ghosts imaginable to sort his nephew out. 'The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past' is a light-hearted take on the Charles Dickens classic 'A Christmas Carol', the difference being that the main character isn't stingy or outright ...

Review of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Apple's iphone - the way of the future

Advantages: Have full control of your life Financial and social
Disadvantages: Price, and still a bit bulky to fit in your pocket

In my view this is the way all mobile phones should be. This little machine has complete control of my life. Its apps are everything you need them to be. I can see in the near future there being no need to own a home computer or laptop this phone can almost replace them now. It has an impact on almost every aspect of my life. I have tried Internet browsing on other phones but never enjoyed the experience as much as i did on the iPhone. It has quirky features than still amaze me and leaves me unable to function during the day without it. The only downside i have is the durability. I'm not saying that is bad but i am so afraid of finding out. I would feel more settled if i knew for sure that if i dropped it and hap pend to kick it into a pool at the same time, that i could pick it up and phone my wife to reassure me that everything is ...
