i thought this was a chiclit.... o.0

When i hear the name Jennifer Cruise, i think a chiclit. Turns out this books isn't much of a chiclit and there was sex on pages. lol

The story started when Maddie found a crochless panties in her hubby's car and she decided to divorce him right there and then. As you read further, you'll find out that it was not the first time her hubby had an affair and she had enough of it.

Towards the end, looks like the hubby was not cheating with his wife, instead he was cheating the company he owns one quarter of. He has been cheating his business partner with money. Because of this, he got himself shot. *sigh*

Lesson learn, hubbys don't keep secrets to your wife. Keeping secret means your wife will think you are having an affair and you will end up dead.

This book, i couldn't discribe it in words. why? coz i was expecting to read a chiclit. But i ended up having a mystery book. ^^j

Angels....

^^j i thought there was divine interventions in this book. But through the middle of the book i realized the reason why the book was titled angels. Looks like, if people live in Los Angeles, they are often called "Angels".

Now, i wouldn't recommend this book if your happyly married or happily in a relationship, it will give you "what if" thoughts with your relationship. I think i bought this book when i was broken hearted and hated the thought of being in a relationship. The book started when Maggie realized that her husband was having an affair because of the comment he did on the chocolates she bought. Right there and then, she left him and went refuge to her parents house. Then later on flew to Los Angeles to spend some downtime with her best friend. There she tested new waters, and as the story is told in every page you will get to learn where her marrage started to crumble down. She had a miscarrage twice, and people are giving her thier sympathys and she had develop a self-pity attitude that she forgot that her hubby is also suffering from depression due to the lost. That drove him to have an affair. You might not agree that this is a valid reason to have an affair, but if you are depressed and someone takes notice of you and make you happy and do things for you to make you happy, an affair is not a surprise. Believe me, its not. A depressed person needs attention and loving care, again believe me, been there, done that.

Towards the end, i found maggie to be quite stupid. But i couldn't blame her, what can i say... shes a typical girl. I did fell sorry with the husband Garv. He really took care of her, he was very understanding even though he knew his wife still longs for her high school lover who disappeared on her and he thought this was the main reason that she choose to go to Los Angeles.

But in the end, they have reconciled. Understood each other. As the ending says, there is no perfect relationship. You will sometimes find your self fighting with each other. But what matters is that you remember your vows to each other. "To sickness and to health, through good times and bad, till death do us part."

Ultimate fetish to the extreme (not for minors)

I was on my way to get the new LKHamilton ABVH book when my friend told me I may like this book. Ok, its an anthology and hey... Neil Gaiman is here. So I read the back of the book and considering i have  a taste of mystery,occult and the supernatural in literitures i said, heck, i'll buy this one too. Anyway, i have heard about Clive Barker and his Hellraiser but i never actually watched the movie. Maybe i did when i was a kid, i do remember watching the T.V with pinhead in it and some girl being chased by cars.

So reading through the book, I first found out that Mr.Gaiman was a journalist in his early years. So say in the forward of the book written by Mr.Barker himself. He narrated how he made the movie Hellraiser and the famous Pinhead.

Now on to the book. There are some stories that are confusing, i simply do not understand or just plane ... grusome for me. If this were a movie i would have walked out from the movie house already or turned off the T.V and gave my dvd to friends who are into human mutilations. I am into BDSM but i am not into gore, my limits are no slicing no blood. Some people would want to watch other people mutilate other people like the movie SAW, Wrong Turn, Hostel and whatever grusome movies there is out there. Ok... now imagine those movie having sex in it. That is exactly what this book has. The ultimate sex and pain that extreme Saddist and Masochists love to experience. Well for the norms they would call them Pyschopaths.

Mostly the stories revolved around one theme, the Cenobites. The beings from hell who comes into your world when you manage to complete the lemarchad configuration. These Cenobites aren't genes. They like to torment you with pain and sex feeding into your most desire fetishes. They remind me of the Vadecs, demons who posses writers into writing them and making them real in our world. In this case, the Cenobites possed Lemarchad a toy maker into building these puzzles that could summon them into our world and then take you into thier world of pain and sex.

I actually like the book, but i won't be watching any hellraiser movies, i can read gorey books, hell i read a book about an old woman eating children, what's a book about mutilations different to that. But i don't watch them on screen, i might end up loosing what i just ate.  Maybe if they will turn it into anime i would watch, but not live action.
