What I find intriguing with most releases that these groups, their family members, the people intimately behind creating, producing, distributing the original music or from the scene/sters that surrounded the music and the era, even so many years onward, is that there is still so much to be shared from the original days with those further afield, if not generations apart, who admire and find something to discover in even the slightest details or trivial facts and perspectives shared, about this era, the music and the people who created it. If you consider yourself a fan of this music and admire the legacy of Factory, I feel most readers and collectors alike will appreciate this release. Factory designs were paramount to its image and mystique, and I do wish this might have stretched a bit more in that direction with an attempt to fit in to the line up a bit more, but it digress as it's very nice all the same. The cover boards are somewhat thin for a book of these dimensions, but it certainly hearkens to Factory design aesthetics, if not on a budget, and it also blatantly recalls, Joy Division's Still packaging. This volume is elegant, but perhaps not as solidly constructed as old Factory releases were. I own and have read many Joy Division, New Order, Factory and related books and writings and am pleased to add this release to those as well.

Separated by tragedy, they attempt to reunite a few years after the war’s end but face numerous obstacles and circumstance that stand to threaten their quest for happiness in the harsh Australian Outback.Ī Town Like Alice first came to the screen in 1956 via film, coming in at just under two-hours, whereas this made-for-TV retelling struggles to sustain its feature-length episodes, often resulting in periods that feel almost stagnant due to their drawn-out quality. Set over the course of three 106-minute episodes, this romantic drama follows the lives of Jean Paget (Helen Morse) and Joe Harmon (Bryan Brown), who cross paths in Malaya while prisoners of the Japanese during World War II. Between these two events, Umbrella has unearthed the classic TV mini-series, A Town Like Alice, adapted from Neil Shute’s novel, now on DVD for the first time assuming the other DVD editions I’ve seen are unlicensed. Umbrella Entertainment has been doubling down on their efforts in bringing Australian-made content to physical media, first with the creation of new sub-label, Sunburnt Screens, and the recent restart to their popular line of Ozploitation titles. The plot of the book is that five students enter detention and only four make it out alive. We’ll go further into her character later on. Honestly, we felt that she looked and acted nothing like how Maeve is described. However, we did disagree with one casting choice: Maeve Rojas, who is Bronwyn’s little sister. Despite the different appearances, we felt both did an excellent job making Nate and Cooper come to life. However, we actually really liked the actors for both roles. The casting was completely spot on.įor Nate Macualey and Cooper Clay, the actors look different than the characters were described. When it comes to the two female leads, Bronwyn Rojas and Addy Prentiss, they looked exactly like we imagined. The Appearance of Some CharactersĪs expected when a book is adapted, not all the characters will look how they were described by the author. Warning: Spoilers if you haven’t read or watched One of Us is Lying. Below, check out the biggest differences between the book and the TV show. However, we’re always nervous that the TV show won’t stay true to the book. We were so excited when we heard that Peacock was turning it into a TV show. Her debut book, One of Us is Lying, turned into an over-night bestseller. Karen McManus is one of the biggest names in YA. Tottering on the plank, keeping an eye on the piranhas, milk in pocket, a rope ladder hit his shoulder. He refused the pirate queen’s offer of a steady job because he has to get home and give his children breakfast (being a good father, he never forgets that this is his real mission for one moment during his very peculiar adventures). He landed in a pirate ship (the craft and its crew reappear in Pirate Stew). (No pictures of them because they are too scary with all the protoplasm dripping off their arms and big soft flabby bodies.) When he refused, he ran for the exit, ignored the sign, opened the door and was sucked into the space continuum. Green globby people who have too many eyes and tentacles and not enough fingers and toes sucked him up into their spaceship and demanded he sign over the planet to them for remodeling. He eventually comes home with the milk, with a long explanation for his lateness, which he insists on telling his son and daughter. Dry would not be as bad as with orange juice, but it still unacceptable for breakfast. Toastios and orange juice would be weird. The “hero” is a dad (author Gaiman) who would rather hide behind his newspaper mornings until he’s had his tea than go out to get milk when there’s none left for the cereal. More dreary weather forecast for the Northeast this week… Time for a tale to lift the spirits that’s completely unbelievable with illustrations to match, a pretty rousing collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell.

In Iron Ambition, Tyson elaborates on the life lessons that D'Amato passed down to him, and reflects on how the trainer's words of wisdom continue to resonate with him outside the ring. In Tyson's bestselling memoir Undisputed Truth, he recounted the role D'Amato played in his formative years, adopting him at age sixteen after his mother died and shaping him both physically and mentally after Tyson had spent years living in fear and poverty. D'Amato died a year before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. When Cus D'Amato first saw thirteen-year-old Mike Tyson spar in the ring, he proclaimed, "That's the heavyweight champion of the world." D'Amato, who had previously managed the careers of world champions Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres, would go on to train the young Tyson and raise him as a son. "From the former heavyweight champion and New York Times-bestselling memoirist comes an intimate look at the life and leadership lessons of Cus D'Amato, the legendary boxing trainer and Mike Tyson's surrogate father.
