Ya Ya Yes

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 12:31:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - I picked this book up at a school booksale, my eye having been snagged by the bright blue cover, featuring a delightfully nostalgic picture of one teenage girl leapfrogging over another.

I delved into the book a bit later, and from the very...

Confessions of a liquid liner addict

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 00:11:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - I love this liquid liner. Out of all of the liquid liners that I have tried within my price range (I CANNOT see spending more than 15$ on department store cosmetics) this has been one of the best.

I am fond of the cats-eye look, which, with a...

politics, magic, and romance.. beautifully woven into a highly enjoyable read

Sun, 28 Oct 2001 23:21:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - I actually read this book after having read the sequel, Fire Angels. I was not disappointed, however.

This tale is much more than what it looks like, which is a cheesy fantasy romance. It is an intricately woven tapestry of magic, politics,...

Mon, 8 Oct 2001 18:29:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Having ordered from a Delia's catalog once, long ago, I quickly became inundated with multitudes of fliers from companies selling clothing and accessories aimed at teenage girls with mom and dad's credit card......

Once, just once, I decided...

Houli-Happy

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 18:54:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Having served at Houlihan's for over a year, I have seen this restaurant on countless good and bad nights. I have seen this place(in Framingham, Massachusetts) run out of glasses, managers, hamburgers, Guinness, and still come out on top. Though it is...

'Tis Life

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 18:10:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - When my grandmother let me borrow this book, I was afraid it would pale in comparison to it's predecessor,Angela's Ashes. I thought to myself, " No sequel could ever be as engrossing and gripping as it's first." The author, Frank McCourt,...

There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 11:59:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Though I was considerably disappointed by the recent books published under V.C. Andrews' name, This novel was somewhat less of an insult to the late author. Although The book gets off to a shaky start, the story is interesting enough to hold one's...

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 13:25:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Having seen the movie at a very young age, I was intrigued by the tale of a selfish mother's sacrifice, and eventually, having read other V.C. Andrews books, decided to pick this one up.

From the opening paragraph I was drawn into the...

Andrews V C: The "Dawn" Series

Mon, 6 Mar 2000 12:52:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - I started reading V.C. Andrews novels as a pre-teen. Having already outgrown most of the books aimed at my age group, my first Andrews novel was given to me by a fellow bookworm-relative as a Christmas gift. "Dawn", the first novel of the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - One day, having spent the night at a friend's house, I realized I had forgotten my usual foundation and powder. Unfortunately, I stayed up fairly late the night before, and my complexion was sallow, and I was sporting lovely gray circles under my...

A Melody of the Depressing and Grotesque

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 12:55:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Having read and reviewed the book on which the movie is based, I must admit that the movie very nearly lives up to its written counterpart. The director manages to capture the feeling of gloom, sadness, and hopelessness of the life of Francis McCourt...

True to it's name

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 13:19:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Unfortunately, this new release lived up to it's name. The actors were sleepy, and the plot hollow. Although Burton's use of scenery was commendable, the overall movie was lacking. The actors were very nice to look at, but the emotion conveyed by Ricci...

Poke-what?

Wed, 24 Nov 1999 15:15:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Yes, I, too was one of the many lucky individuals who had some child in their life whose entire well-being depended on them seeing the Pokemon movie. It may have been the forty-five minute wait that soured my experience slightly, but I was somewhat...

enthralling, wonderfully depressing

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 17:41:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - It isn't often that one finds a book both depressing, disgusting, and wonderful. Frank McCourt did an outstanding job recapturing his tragic childhood, and injecting into it a vitality unmatched by many other modern day authors. This story transported me...

Saul, John: Entertaining, but repetitive

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 17:10:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - John Saul's books, I'm sorry to say, are entertaining but mediocre. He fails to stray from the ever present class of ordinary horror writers, using predictable situations and characters. Though his stories are somewhat interesting, and usually have an...

PURE EYECANDY

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 16:46:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - When I first saw this movie, many years ago, i was enthralled. From the opening credits, to the end, I was spellbound by this story of a destitute little boy's attainment of the greatest treasure a child can have- a wonderland of edibles. To this day, I...

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 17:35:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Okay, I hate to be just another angry voice in a multitude of Britney haters, but come on!!!!! Sure, she has an okay voice, but almost anyone can sound good with voice lessons and special digital vocal effects. Even then, however, there is an annoying...

An American Classic

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 17:16:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrchyld - Grease is no doubt an American classic. The costumes, attitudes, and situations are true to the era in which the movie is set, . The dress of the characters is great- very true to the time. It almost makes one wish America had never left the poodle skirt...
