The Bourne Dominion review.

Hello Readers,

Finally first book review. We begin with Erick van Lustbader "The Bourne Dominion". It is based on Robert Ludlum Bourne Trilogy. So we have ex-CIA operative with amnesia, a bunch of terrorists, which try to kill Bourne, and a dozen of protagonists, whose job is to keep Jason "The Destroyer" Bourne  safe and to get killed. In this book the terrorists are Severus Domna, a group consisting of both muslims, jews and representatives of west, who tries to take control of world by destabilizing world economy. And because of that, Jason need to arm himself again, fight along with old enemies in order to destroy new ones. For me van Lustbader's version of Bourne adventures are far more exciting than Ludlum's original. Sorry Robert, that's the truth. Plot is quite predictable, but gives much enjoyment, dramatic personas are well build, and as a whole it is a good piece of text. Volume makes it a book not for one afternoon, but rather for a week.
To sum it up:
Plot: Good, nothing to complain except that predictability 8 out of 10
Dramatic Personas: Properly build, with character, cannot complain 9 out of 10
General opinion: Better than original. Grade:8+ out of 10.

"Denied"- music video and song itself

Hello readers,

Here's the first review. And it is about music. Denied is a song of small polish band called "Stoklosa&Riemer Band". It was uploaded to youtube today, so it's as fresh as... well something fresh.  Don't ask me. Don't know. So the song. Listening it, you may think that you've heard it before. Some say it sounds much like Manson. It is a good piece of work, however. I have enjoyed listening it. Even if it can be only a one season song, it it worth to listen. And the music video. Looks cheap. Gunfire looks awful. And story seems to be based on pulp fiction. Found on garage bargain for only few cents/ pennies. The video do not deserve the song. 
So, the final grade.
Song:7+ out of 10. It lacks something. Maybe more testicles.
Music video: 5 out of 10. Unless you love low-budget productions, better avoid it.
