A Star Shattered: The Rise & Fall & Rise Of Wrestling Diva

A Star Shattered: The Rise & Fall & Rise of Wrestling DivaA Star Shattered: The Rise & Fall & Rise of Wrestling Diva by Tammy "Sunny" Sytch

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A sad, but unfortunately all-too-common tale. Meteoric rise to fame, on top of the world with everything seemingly going perfectly, and then the overpowering lure of excess. A supposed story of redemption and self-discovery ultimately comes across as bitter, and accusatory. Every single bad thing that happens in Tammy's life is effortlessly blamed on someone else. I hate when people refuse to accept accountability. Why did I give the book four stars? As crazy as it might sound, I believe that she thinks every word is honest. Also, she isn't afraid of providing excessive detail. While it's all too much on several occasions, props must be given to someone willing to go all out.

Returning!

Wally Kurth is returning as Ned. He left last year, after signing on to return to Days Of Our Lives. He has since been downgraded, and is free to appear on both shows once again. I like the character, and will be glad to see him again. Hopefully, he and Olivia can find each other again. I'm sure he'll figure into Tracy's storyline as well.

Back In The Studio!

It appears as though Barbra is at work on a new album! As of this post, we know she has recorded songs with Jamie Foxx, and Daisy Ridley. I don't know the consensus opinion, but I think another album of duets, which this looks as though it is shaping up to be, would be a mistake. I understand wanting to capitalize on the success of previous work, but think an offering so similar in nature would greatly diminish interest. Of course, I could be completely off the mark with my assumptions, and we could very well be looking at standard Streisand. Either way, I'm very happy something new is on the horizon.

Stranger Child

Stranger Child (DCI Tom Douglas, #4)Stranger Child by Rachel Abbott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book came highly recommended, and was very good. Language is swift, and flows effortlessly. The door is cracked for a sequel, and, if there is, I will definitely be reading it.
