![]() Based in part on previously classified documents, Patricia Posner exposes Capesius’s reign of terror at the camp, his escape from justice, fueled in part by his theft of gold ripped from the mouths of corpses, and how a handful of courageous survivors and a single brave prosecutor finally brought him to trial for murder twenty years after the end of the war.

I am gonna be very careful here not to give away any major spoilers but there may be a few minor ones.įirst off, I didn’t like the way the story was written. Not the controversial content (well, kinda). It was the story telling that killed it for me. This book had the potential to be something I really enjoyed. I also liked that the book dealt with issues such as access to birth control and treatment of women in general. ![]() I was fascinated by the post apocalyptic world and thought it would have made a good backdrop for a movie or TV series. I felt like this one did but it wasn’t unreadable because of them. ![]() I don’t normally give books less than a three unless they have structural issues. Give birth control to whatever women will accept it to try and prevent further deaths in a world where childbirth is almost always a death sentence for both mother and child.įor me, this book was a 2.5 out of 5 stars. She dresses as a man to protect herself in a world that becomes increasingly dangerous to women. Summary: After a plague there are few survivors. ![]() ![]() This particular one isn’t a Discworld book, although it does talk about the Discworld, and it focusses mainly on sharing some of Pratchett’s talks and essays on a huge range of different subjects, from his job as a press officer for a nuclear power plant to his visits to various conventions around the globe, perhaps most notably to Australia, which was of course an inspiration for the Discworld country of XXXX.īut the most moving parts here are when Pratchett comes to terms with his mortality while writing about the Alzheimer’s that eventually killed him, along with the injustices inherent to a society that won’t allow someone who’s suffering to choose the manner of their own death. I’m a massive Pratchett fan and I’m pretty close to having finished reading everything that he ever published, but that means that every time I read another book of his, I’m one closer to the end. This book is in many ways a difficult read because of how emotional it can be. ![]() ![]() Lou goes to tell the news to her long-term boyfriend, Patrick, who is busy running laps as he trains for another triathlon. Louisa knows that her family sorely needs the money, with her mother Josie stuck at home caring for Lou’s Granddad, a stroke victim, and Lou’s nephew Thomas, the son of Lou’s younger sister Treena. Louisa is walking home dejected after hearing that the Buttered Bun café where she has worked for six years has to close.

Check. Guesstimated 65pgs (taking into account the new/larger Kindle font), DEW OF HEAVEN contained a whole lot of everything. How much did I love it? So much so that I'm only slightly perturbed with the ending (it was very abrupt which could mean that it was intentional or a "to be continued" indicating this is a serial) and am truly eager for the next Molly Shaman book. This rarely happens so I'll get to the point: I LOVED this novelette! And all three experiences will be the most exquisite of your abruptly truncated life. Afterwards she's going to send you to your maker. First she's going to wine and dine you, then she's going to have her way with you. The CIA codenamed Molly "Praying Mantis" with good reason.

She insists on first dining with her victim, then sleeping with him, before rubbing him out. Molly Shaman is the CIA's most exotic assassin. ![]() ![]() ![]() No one should be singled out because of the difficulty of pronouncing ones name. There was a wide diverse world out there, full of things we’ve never heard of or seen. ![]() The main idea that Dumas wants to get across, is everyone needs to be more open-minded to other cultures. I will now break down Firoozeh’s excerpt for further analysis. She feels Americans were not open to accept her culture and difference, and instead of embracing it, they made fun and insulted what they were unsure of.īased on the simplicity of words she uses, the mild tempered language she includes, and how relatable her story is, I think she intended her audience to be anyone, but mainly clueless insecure Americans, and immigrants who all might have experienced this at some point. ![]() The author would like her audience to be aware of other cultures, and their names and lifestyles. Dumas uses examples from her childhood and all throughout her life to explain why she feels Americans are ignorant to new and different things. In “The F Word” written by Firoozeh Dumas an excerpt from her autobiography titled Funny in Farsi, she talks about her struggles living in America from having a very different name, to not understanding English very well. ![]() ![]() Quinton has a dark side and sometimes feels like losing control.

Her line art is simultaneously beguiling and revulsion inducing. Previous works have had hints of yellow or blue, but she stays strictly within those three shades for this comic. When I Arrived at the Castle is colored in Carroll’s signature black, white, and red palette. ![]() To explain would be to take away the very element of what makes her macabre art so luscious. She continues in When I Arrived at the Castle to create evocative niche horror comics that settle into your bones and leave you wondering, because as is her custom, she does not explain. I loved Emily Carroll’s T hrough the Woods arrangement of dark stories. The blurb for this one is so short because this comic is so short, probably its only fault. My one exception is anything Emily Carroll creates. On a dark rainy night, a young lady is welcomed into a castle, a young lady who has come to murder a countess, like the many before her who never returned.įor those of you who may not know me, horror is not my thing. ![]() |
