The necklace of the Queen - Alexandre Dumas

by Alexander C. Andrade on 11/05/2010

Most books I've read in the last two years is related to the European monarchies, notably England and France, so that, with books of historical novel, I have managed to reconstruct a timeline of the history of these countries and their monarchies .

The Jungle Book is one of the favorite children's movies of my children. Or at least it was in earlier ages, so we used to see frequently. Also remember that once my daughter saw a movie more faithful to Kipling's book that was not animated, and that [...]

by Alexander C. Andrade on 13/01/2010

There are countless books available to read at any time. Some read them because someone recommended to me, some other reviews I read I remember about them, because I read other entries in other blogs concerning these books.

Referring to the eternal question of what is better, first read the book and then watch the movie, I think my personal reply does not apply to this story, given my personal response is that it is best to read the book, since the abbreviation of the story is usually done to [...]

The last book in the series The Hitchhiker's galaxy, and that's only because Douglas Adams died before completing the sixth installment, which is a shame. A friend I met in the network died last week, week that he had actually started thinking about death, two separate conversations [...]
