I am officially hooked on SOA. The writer of the show mirrors "Hamlet" with his characters...Season 2 is when this show really came into its own.

Amazingly well written show about a motorcycle club.
Well acted by its stars - Charlie Hunnam (Green Street Hooligans), Katey Segal (Married w/Children) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy).
Cannot get enough of this show!

Great book....the author is very descriptive...I can almost taste the food in the book! Good story...a wonderful love story.
I didn't like the way the book just ended without giving us more of the two main characters. But that is my only complaint. Finished this book in 2 days. I highly recommend it.Great book....the author is very descriptive...I can almost taste the food in the book! Good story...a wonderful love story.

Wow. I was barely able to put this book down for a second after the first few pages got me completely hooked. Suzanne Collins narrative here has an immediacy to it that, when combined with the very dramatic life-or-death plot, is incredibly compelling. It's entertaining, and incredibly disturbing all at once.Wow. I was barely able to put this book down for a second after the first few pages got me completely hooked.

I have a whole new appreciation for the talents of BSS...the concert footage taken from a free concert done in Toronto at the Habourfront was phenomenal...I just wish there had been more concert stuff over the movie storyline. LAME LAME LAME, found myself wanting to fastforward thru it.I have a whole new appreciation for the talents of BSS...the concert footage taken from a free concert done in Toronto at the Habourfront was phenomenal...I just wish there had been more concert stuff over the movie storyline.

The book goes step by step through a number of ideas to improve your life. You should make sure you are spending time on *important* things. Time is precious, don't waste it by hurrying to do thing you really don't have in your priority list. Cherish others, strive not to harm anyone or any sentient creature.
I really found this quote powerful - "appreciate how rare and full of potential your situation is in this world, take joy in it, and use it to your best advantage." Half of the world lives in abject poverty and barely has enough food to survive the day. If you have access to a computer and running water, you are way ahead of the game!The book goes step by step through a number of ideas to improve your life.

Hunter holds himself back and lets the story tell itself. That's is both good and bad. I am a big fan of his Gonzo-style and must admit I missed it. In "Hell's Angels" his writing style was supplanted by the lifestyle he adopted for a year in order to journalize the "trips" of the notorious California Motorcycle gang. Unless you were previously exposed to some (true) stories of the Hell's Angels, much of this book will be eye-opening for the gang did and didn't do. I hadn't been and only knew the myth perpatrated by the media. Hunter does his best to expose the NY Times, Time Magazine and others for their taget-picking, fear-baiting, if-we-printed-it-it-must-be-real style of reporting and de-myths many of the groups exploits. Hunter focuses his story of two or three "runs" the Angel's take. He captures the anti-social attitudes and behaviors of the gang without judging and relates the booze, pills, sex and thuggery stories without embellishment (or so it seemed to me). Read this book if you've ever wondered what the gang life was like for this group of misfits '60's drop-outs. Read this book if you enjoy HST and his eye for the real story.Hunter holds himself back and lets the story tell itself. That's is both good and bad.

Definitely not the best "dead" book in the bunch. It was nice to see Eric/Sookie be in a relationship. I just wish they had more scenes together in the book.
A slow book...took me a lot longer to get thru then her other books.

A great read. ATF agent William Queen - biker enthusiast - undergoes a transformation into Mongol biker.
He manages to go deep undercover as a biker in one of the most violent biker gangs in the USA.
He faces some tough situations and choices while undercover for 2 1/2 years.
The line of reality and his investigation are blurred as he starts becoming friends with the men he's there to eventually put in jail.
