![]() To turn a 600 page book where every line is of the highest quality into a three hour extravaganza is a huge feat. ![]() However as much praise must be given to Ransley the script writer. Even the direction from the fairly unknown Aisling Walsh used contrasting yet beautiful shades of blue for Briar and brown for London. Of course Imelda Staunton was amazing as usual, she is unmistakably a national treasure and the supporting cast were all of a high standard. The two of them acting together, combining these talents made this drama unmissable. Her eyes were mesmerising conveying everything from rage to absolute despair. I recognised Sally Hawkins as Zena Blake from Tipping the Velvet, a small role primarily so i didn't have as many expectations but she was astounding in the role of Sue Trinder. Her transformation was believable and impressive to watch. Having been a fan of Elaine Cassidy's since seeing her guileless turn in Felicia's Journey i thought she embodied both hard deception and a growing fragility as Maud. ![]() And not as so many ignorant people would have you believe, a pointless lesbian romp. I was not disappointed with the results, in fact i think this might be on a par with TTV both romantic and entertaining. Especially since Tipping the Velvet had been done so well by old familiar Andrew Davies. ![]() Having read all of Sarah Waters books i was eagerly looking forward to a BBC adaptation of Fingersmith. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon the line between love and loathing begins to blur, and their attraction explodes.

Turner’s painting “The Slave Ship” to Zinedine Zidane’s head-butt during the 2006 World Cup final. Like Rankine’s last book, “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely” (2004), which shares its subtitle, “Citizen” is part documentary, part lyric procedural, submitting to its painstaking frame-by-frame analysis everything from J. M. “Citizen,” which has been short-listed for the National Book Award, suggests that a contemporary “American lyric” is a weave of artfully juxtaposed intensities, a quarrel within form about form. Rankine has called it an attempt to “pull the lyric back into its realities.” Those realities include the acts of everyday racism-remarks, glances, implied judgments-that flourish in an environment where more explicit acts of discrimination have been outlawed. The poet Claudia Rankine’s new volume, her fifth, is “Citizen: An American Lyric” (Graywolf), a book-length poem about race and the imagination. ![]() Claudia Rankine Illustration by Patrick Morgan / Reference from Margarita Corporan ![]() ![]() ![]() But not always, I liked SIGN but I found this manga to be boring and dull. ![]() hack franchise, you'll probably like this manga as well. hack was turn into a harem-like manga, the franchise deserves better. Even his sister had the hots for him (how original)!! I was very disappointed that. I found the obsession most of the female characters had with Shugo to be annoying as well. Ouka, in particular, was a lot of fun when she wasn't hitting on Shugo. I found Zefie to be extremely annoying, Shugo was kind of dull, but the rest of the characters were enjoyable. Each one has a distinct personality and everyone will probably find someone they enjoy. ![]() Most of the characters are fun to get to know. It's fine and it gets the job done, but it really isn't worthy of any praise in my opinion. I had to force myself to finish the last volume. The big mystery of the NCP is a big disappointment as well (in my opinion of course). You have them going to different events and hanging around trying to solve the mystery (but if you watched SIGN or played the video games, this isn't much of a mystery). Nothing much happens, it's just about a group of friends trying to protect a little NPC with an uncanny resemblance to Aura. A lot of people seem to like this manga, but these are my honest opinions: ![]() |
