*** REVIEW: BackJoy ***

I have suffered from back pain for years. When I was a child, I could not do a somersault or such, because when I did, my back would start giving me a horrible pain for days. Actually I was born with scoliosis and its level increased as I grew older. When I gained weight, the pain intensified; if I walk for a few hours especially with a pack or heavy bag, etc., the lower back of my left shoulder starts aching like a fire's burning in hell! Now that I lost a few pounds, I'm a little more comfortable, but not enough, because the posture is also very important. I'm a freelance translator and my job is done with the computer for hours, so think about my torture :(

I was sent BackJoy® Posture + ($39.99 USD) to try and review, and when I started using it, what I felt was that it immediately straightened my sitting posture as if a magic wand automatically changed me. I normally stoop when I working, and indeed, I sensed that I had to sit correctly, because even if I tried to release myself, I couldn't do it :) The product helps you sit up straight, so by giving you a relief, it eliminates or at least decreases the pain caused by the posture faults. But you need to sit on the product correctly to get the best results. However, one thing is that you may not use this product for very long hours. For a long-term use, you need to consider another product of the same company for a more comfortable sitting. They have great products for every need. If you have problems with your spine like me, I recommend you to buy BackJoy products for your good health.
PS: It has very nice color options like black, fuschia, orange, red, sea blue and yellow.

This is a story about Mary, number one fan of the hottest cult vampire detective TV show, City By Night... until it becomes all too real.
An accident with the Craft Services truck sends her hurtling into the world of the show, and Mary is thrilled - who wouldn't want to live alongside their favorite TV characters? Unfortunately, living in TV-land isn't all that Mary thought it would be. The charm fades when Mary realizes that the extras still don't speak, the matte paintings don't become real, and all the infuriating flaws in the writing are just amplified when you have to try to interact with the shallow characters. And then, of course, the lead character Leondre DuNoir falls for her!
Sure, fine, he's hot... but he's also a bit, well, poorly written. And his admiration comes with its own set of problems: Antonio, Leondre's psychotic stalker, has a habit of killing off the girls-of-the-week. Not only is Mary disillusioned with what she thought was a lush world until she had to try to maneuver in it, now she's about to be murdered by one of the stupidest clichés in the history of television in a world that, pardon the pun, totally sucks.
A loving satire of the Toronto film industry, vampire-cop television, and what it really means to be a "fan" from award-winning science fiction author J.M. Frey.

My Review:

“The Dark Side of the Glass” by J.M. Frey is a fun and light reading where the protagonist finds herself in her favorite TV show one day. You think it would be a very fantastic and extraordinary thing to find yourself in the middle of a “dream” reality, but the things don’t go on as it is hoped. The things and people that once looked like real now are not beyond the unreality. This book makes a great reference to especially today’s temporary but very popular vampire trend in its satiric language. The current TV world that offers just bubbles (of course I cannot deny high-quality productions) is highly criticized in this book. I think you would start questioning yourself if you are just a watcher, a fan, or a fanatic when reading this book, of course with an ironic smile.
