The same can be said for the characterization. Both lyrical and mesmerizing, these scenes breathe magic into the sea and give it life and personality. However, amid the detail and storytelling, Hall inserts these interludes to break up the story. Tokuda-Hall allows the readers’ minds to imagine both the worst and the best, highlighting the dangers these characters face. Using subtle language and detail, she creates a beautiful world full of hardships without losing the magic and fantasy. Her magnificent writing style shows the reader the fantasy and magic versus telling them. Tokuda-Hall allows the reader to use their imagination, inspiring great emotion in the reader. It shows the hardships felt by colonialism and the cruelty unleashed by it in both stark and subtle detail. The premise itself is lovely as it works to build this magical world divided by colonialism.

You season 2's Forty is an on-the-wagon, off-the-wagon mess of a character whose addiction and personal shortcomings end up poisoning the majority of the characters around him. ![]() ![]() Here's every major change Netflix's You series made from the Joe Goldberg books. ![]() The Netflix series has added many new characters, settings, and plots designed to keep even the most ardent You fans' attention. Yet despite both versions of You aligning on their portrayal of Joe Goldberg, Netflix's You otherwise contains some radical deviations from Caroline Kepnes' source material. Related: You Season 4 Could Have The Highest Kill Count Yet Caroline Kepnes' You novels also follow a similar trend regarding its protagonist's likability, with " You Love Me" in particular making the reader privy to every monstrous thought that pops into Joe's head. Netflix's You, in particular, has attempted to lesson Joe's appeal over the course of its three seasons as his character's neuroses begin to outweigh the undeniable charisma of lead actor Penn Badgley. In both Netflix's and Caroline Kepnes' versions of the twist-filled You story, Joe Goldberg is a charming character who commits reprehensible acts that are often in direct conflict with his affable nature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It would have had a lot of explosions, as I remember. Fortunately, that version didn’t get made. There were changes, yes, but smart ones due to budget and cinematic needs.Ĭold in July was under option for seven years once, and I wrote a screenplay, but over the years it kept being rewritten at request, and then someone else put their dirty toe in it, and by the time that happened I was no longer interested. Some, like Bubba Ho-Tep, came out so close to the story it was deeply satisfying. Once a film production gets its paws on your work, you can look forward to certain disappointments, though I have been lucky in that my stuff has been treated kindly, sometimes roughed up slightly in the alley, its shoes taken from it, but the socks were left.Īs the man said as he fell out of an airplane, “Not so bad so far.” The scary part is they might actually film it. I’ve been fortunate enough to have several options in the same year, and the money from that is really nice. I’ve had some of my works under option for years, and they were never filmed, but I turned out pretty well on the deal.

Dare to Disappoint is clearly a notable book. It seems that the American public is disproportionately focused on a geographic location without much of an understanding of individuals who inhabit it. While current news media keep this region of the world ever on the minds of viewers through reports of violence and narratives of conflict, it’s through personal stories that we understand people. Both are graphic novels that tell the coming of age stories of young women growing up in times of political and cultural change in countries in the Middle East. In her story, there is friction between Muslim fundamentalism and Western values - and friction between her artistic aspirations and the pressure from her family to pursue engineering.Ī few reviews have drawn comparisons between Dare to Disappoint and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis.

In a modern dysfunctional society where individuals are no longer free to think for themselves, they are discouraged from thinking or acting as individual. It sparked a great 45 minute dinner conversation. My 18 year old son even loved listening one night while I cooked. I have recommend this book to my friends and family. The writing was straight forward and yes, I laughed, gasped, hit my steering wheel and yelled with agreement while running, driving, making dinner, washing dishes, and cleaning the house. It was the right tempo without having to speed it up or slow it down. Overall his voice played well in the car and in headphones during runs. I’m now looking for an article that tries to find reasons to disagree. ![]() I found myself, as a moderate (and a scientist) agreeing with basically every single element of this book. ![]() Truthfully I listen to talk radio (from NPR to KFI). I’m not a regular watcher of Fox nor CNN. ![]() I get my news left, right and center and try to find the truth. ![]() I rarely read or listen to non-fiction books on the political climate of America.

When Sourcebooks sent me a review copy of Venetia I did not choose it for my first critique, for I did not want to spoil my youthful impression. As I grew older, other GH books made their first appearance on my favorites list, such as The Quiet Gentleman and The Reluctant Widow. In recent years I began to question my younger self, for while I loved rereading The Grand Sophy last year, I didn’t find it quite as splendid as the 24-year-old Vic had. Mind you, I had not read this book for decades, but I savored its memory. Whenever a reader asks: Which of the Georgette Heyer books ranks among your favorites? Venetia invariably springs from my lips. ![]() ![]() When the body of Jessica is discovered there is a conversation with Brie (her best friend and love interest) that resolves around Kay not getting the big deal or need for cancelling school events. It's clear from the beginning that Kay has a very selfish, every man for themselves, kind of attitude. Starting with our main girl Kay aka by far the most toxic and unlikable protagonist I have read thus far. This is a book that caught my attention from the synopsis for the whole YA murder mystery a la Pretty Little Liars vibe. Anyway one of the first books I managed to finish for my challenge is People Like Us by Dana Mele. And I won't lie I am not keeping up with it as much as I should, but I am definitely not going to beat myself up about it. I didn't realize just how much when I decided to take this challenge on. So one of my big goals for the year was to do the 52 Book Challenge where you basically just read 52 books in a year. Like if I ended up reading a handful I would say that is too many. Well I ended up building up quite the book collection and remained untouched for the majority of the year. I thought it was going to be the opposite since we were pretty much all stuck at home. ![]() Hiya guys! I feel like it has been forever since I decided to discuss a book on here and that's mostly because I was simply not doing a lot of reading in 2020. ![]() |
