of New York. Things do not go according to plan however as he also finds a rather large hole in the dome structure, together with a huge nest, one very large egg and several partially devoured human corpses...At the same time two New York detectives have been investigating a number of bizarre disappearances, which seemingly involve people being snatched off of rooftops, whilst nobody has noticed a thing other than their disappearance...and the occassional bloody mess left behind. It eventually arises that the Aztec god Quetzecoatl, a giant winged serpent, is at fault, alive and well and living in New York... Like I said, a silly premise, but made more than a little believable by Cohen's expert handling. Anyway, King Kong stunk as a concept and turned out to be one of the most enduring cinematic masterpieces ever to touch the silver screen ...

Review of Q - The Winged Serpent

First book in NUMA series, Serpent by Clive Cussler

Advantages: Fast action, lots of history
Disadvantages: Maybe weaker character development and writing than previous Cussler books

For those familiar with the works of Cussler, they normally involve a character called Dirk Pitt, but this book marks the arrival of a new character, Kurt Austin. The book is the first in the NUMA series of books, of which more have since been released since this title was published. The basic plot is that a group called "The Brotherhood" try to wipe from the record the evidence that they had been contact in the past between the New and Old Worlds. Kurt Austin, Cussler's new character, is the boss of the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA).

Review of Serpent - Clive Cussler

Taylor Swift Fearless

Advantages: Amazing voice, pure talent
Disadvantages: always mostly singing about boys

paced yet clear, I have heard songs by peple that do a fast paced track an i cant understand a word they say, so to hear this track being fast paced i find it exceptionally awesome. Youre Not Sorry 3/5 I like this track but it goes from really catchy to really boring at the chorus, then to catchy again, its quite confusing really i only just settled upon it that i do quite like this song and I would give it a 5 if it was consistantly catchy, and not all confusing The Way I Loved You 5/5 I like the way this track builds up at the beginning and then just goes quite soft...I like the track because shes not really singing about a guy leaving her, just being a little hacked off with her guy at one pint. I think if you would like a good example of what Taylor Swift is like you should check this song out. Forever ...
