Here is an excerpt from the book: "With the solitude of darkness came the agony of a restless mind. Oh, I can't say another word, you MUST read the book!! Sir Happy's life is in danger and only Marmee can save him, but.but. It becomes a race against time, with Mister Marmee calling upon the help of a very special woman named Bitty Early, who lives deep in the forest where "the fairy folk" are thought to live. As Sir Happy starts fitting pieces together, he is wrongly accused of attacking a horrible man, and must go into hiding, leaving things up to Mister Marmee, who is not the master crime solver. After a series of strange and seemingly unconnected deaths and crimes occur in much too close succession in this sleepy country area, Mister Marmee and Sir Happy begin investigating as only they can! It doesn't take long before whispers of "fairy mischief" begin to spread among the country folk, adding an additional mystery that Sir Happy and Mister Marmee must dig through in order to find the truth. Life, after all, is slow and uneventful in the countryside, right? Not necessarily. After the excitement, danger and adventures recounted in "The Case of Jack the Nipper" is closed, everyone is looking forward to a quiet time in the country. This second novel takes place in England's countryside, at Dawberry Manor, the country home of Dr. In "The Case of the Wayward Fae", all these characters, plus a whole host of new and exciting friends and foes, are introduced. The entertainment includes an erotic dance by a naked blonde woman with a flag tattoo on her stomach, which he and his classmates are forced to watch. When he arrived, he discovered that he was to provide part of the evening's entertainment for a roomful of drunken white men as a contestant, along with nine of his classmates, in a blindfolded boxing match (a "battle royal") before giving his speech. The narrator also recalls being invited to give his high school graduation speech at a gathering of the town's leading white citizens. The narrator relates an anecdote concerning his grandfather who, on his deathbed, shocks his family by revealing himself as a traitor and a spy (to his race). He remembers when he had not yet discovered his identity or realized that he was an invisible man. The narrator - speaking in the voice of a man in his 40s - reminiscing about his youth, opens the novel. But when Watterson was six, they moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio (about 24 miles east of Cleveland). in 1958 and lived in Alexandria, Virginia with his mother and father, who was a patent attorney. So how did it come together? Why did it last only a decade? And what has Watterson been up to in the over two decades since he retired at the young age of just 38? As the first appearance of this legendary comic strip shows, Calvin sets a trap for a tiger using a tuna sandwich because “tigers will do ANYTHING for a tuna fish sandwich.” Sure enough, hanging by one foot and munching on the sandwich, Calvin’s freshly caught tiger confirms this, “We’re kind of stupid that way.”Īlmost exactly ten years later, the comic’s elusive creator, Bill Watterson, abruptly called it quits, despite the comic’s extreme popularity. It was on November 18, 1985, when Calvin met Hobbes. Image from the cover of Exploring Calvin and Hobbes – An Exhibition Catalogue (That’s creepier to me now than it was at the time. If you haven’t read it, it’s about a boy who sets up a hidden camera in the girls’ locker room in the hopes of photographing showering students. That night, my teacher called my mom to discuss the novel I’d chosen for my book report - Die Softly by Christopher Pike. There will be some twenty-year-old spoilers past this point, so hardcore purists beware! The above is an image from the film Mikey (1992). When it finally came, I drew an arm from the elbow down, the hand clutching a baseball bat, and below that, the head and shoulders of a blonde cheerleader, her eyes closed, a trickle of blood streaming from her head and swirling with water as it runs down a shower drain. I remember sitting at my desk, pencil poised over the narrow strip of white paper while I waited for inspiration. In fourth grade, my teacher asked us to write a book report and to attach a bookmark featuring a scene from the book. If I close my eyes, I can still picture it. When he introduces his next guest, things go from bad to worse.Īll Gwen wants is for her family to be happy and safe. Then Howie asks Gwen if she knows about the documentary… Unfortunately, the interview does NOT go as planned. She chose “The Howie Hamlin Show” because Howie appeared to have a good reputation. She has decided she wants to set the record straight. “ Shootout in murder house!” The newspaper always mentions that Gwen was once arrested as Melvin Royal’s accomplice, but they almost never remember to say that she was acquitted. The newspapers are still reporting what happened months earlier. It reminds her of her ex-husband, serial killer Melvin Royal. The camera reminds her of very bad things. Gwen is staring into the dark eye of a TV camera. The book starts with the shocking kidnapping of a six-year-old girl. I have been looking forward to reading this since finishing “ Killman Creek“, the previous book in the series. I will tell you that this is a series that I highly recommend. **If you plan on reading the first two books in the “Stillhouse Lake” series, you might want to hold off on reading this review.

MS does look forward to more inky goodness by Megan Derr. It has been entirely too long since MS has lost sleep over a book. Wherein sabotage and traitors had MS engrossed late into night. The only thing no one prepared him for was the stubborn, arrogant High King himself, who declares Allen useless and throws him out of court.High King Sarrica is ruling an empire at war, and that war will grow exponentially worse if his carefully laid plans do not come to fruition. The Engineered Throne ebook By Megan Derr. Megan Derr created an alternative historical world wherein two men being together was not prejudiced by others. For the past few years he has trained to become the new consort of the High King. Prince Allen has trained his entire life to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious mother, who has made their kingdom one of the wealthiest and most influential in the empire. He's not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he's gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do. He can't even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He's surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him-but he can't admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier. It's incendiary stuff-and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. In Cory Doctorow's wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco-an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.Ī few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus's hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. There were odd moments where the plot felt a bit, not rushed per se, but it certainly flew by in a manner I wasn’t quite expecting. The plot of the book is fairly wide-ranging, its breadth being fairly shocking if I’m honest! It starts with Eisenhorn hunting a Chaos cult-leader as he engineers some nefarious scheme, but the subsequent investigation takes him on a planet-hopping journey on the tail of more cultists of Slaanesh, and even a couple of Emperor’s Children marines! I’ve not read that many novels with unreliable narrators, but still, it somehow didn’t really do it for me, if I’m honest. Overall, I think I liked the style of this narrative, though there were times when I thought it was a bit weird – I think there were a couple of instances where plot twists were described that Eisenhorn clearly knew of the twist, but the first-person narrative came across like he didn’t. The book is told in first-person from the Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn’s perspective, and many times feels a bit like a memoir as he breaks the fourth wall (if such a concept can exist in books) to address the reader directly. That’s a difficult judgement to make, so I’ll try to expound upon it… It was a pretty good book, though I have to admit right off, I don’t think it was as great as the Horus Heresy stuff I’ve read from him so far. At the weekend, I read the first book in the Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett, Xenos. |
