Liberation Of Europe - D-Day (DVD)

Liberate the ?fop? within

Advantages: "Lucy"
Disadvantages: couple of weak tracks

tracks 9-11 isn?t that they are bad songs, it?s more that they just aren?t anywhere near as good as the other songs on the album. Of all of them, ?Victoria Falls? is the most promising, as it is filled with acoustic guitars, but it doesn?t really develop enough. ?Three Sisters? just seems a cacophony most days, and the fact it develops into ?Europe by Train? makes me hate it even more (more later). THE SLOW SONGS Unlike some of their other albums, the slower songs are the standout tracks on this album. ?Timewatching? is an amazing (sort of) rewrite of Nat King Cole?s ?When I fall in Love? ?When I fall asleep it could be forever So I'll never fall asleep again? However, it?s ?Lucy? which really impressed me the first time I heard this, and putting it as the last track means I can usually forgive any of Hannon?s previous musical ...

Review of Liberation - Divine Comedy (The)

A Liberating Read

Advantages: Fast paced with twists and turns
Disadvantages: It has a last page

This is my first attempt at a book review on Ciao, so here goes. Liberation Day by Andy McNab may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he's one of my favouritre authors and writes in my favourite genre, thrillers. If this classes me as a Philistine amongst all you bookies (no not turf accountants) out there, so be it. THE AUTHOR Andy McNab joined the army in 1976 as an infantryman and by 1984 had passed all the selection tests to join the SAS. Whilst in the SAS he took part in operations all over the world, many of which were of a highly secretive and dangerous nature. During his military career he was awarded the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal) and MM (Military Medal). He came to light as an author after he left the Army in 1993. His first book, the bestseller 'Bravo Two Zero' recounted the story of the SAS patrol he was ...

Review of Liberation Day - Andy McNab

Liberation Day - Liberating Read

Advantages: Fast paced thriller, written in soldiers english with interesting plot.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit too short

Andy McNab's 'Liberation Day' is a gritty action packed thriller that will grab a hold of you and won't let go until you've finished the very last page. Nick Stone the main character of this novel is an ex-SAS soldier with a very troubled past. Those of you who have read pretty much any other of the Andy McNab fiction novels will by now be quite intimate with Nick Stone. For those of you who aren't, here's a brief description: he's a no-nonsense ex-SAS soldier, who's very methodical and fairly intelligent. Although the work is a fiction I believe this character to be mainly modelled on the author himself. I have had the joy of reading 'Bravo Two Zero' and 'Immediate Action' and can say McNab and the fictional Nick Stone share a lot of the same qualities. Now then, back to the story in-hand. Nick Stone is desperately trying to start ...
