![]() ![]() And you know what that means.Now, it's my turn to get some.

Wrong again. ![]() I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist's office, but I can't get any love for myself. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people's faces and watch the show, but I can't actually participate. You'd think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() So at thirteen he had only saved up six years of staring. Will Halloway, it was in him young to always look just beyond, over or to one side. And when you never look away all your life, by the time you are thirteen you have done twenty years taking in the laundry of the world. The trouble with Jim was he looked at the world and could not look away. An excerpt of how Bradbury describes the boys: I think I was anticipating more story/plot than character, but I ended up really liking Jim and Will more than I liked the plot. I’m not sure what I was expecting when I started this book. ![]() My favourite aspects of the book were the characterization of the boys and Bradbury’s writing style. I honestly didn’t find it very frightening or terrifying or anything. I rarely rarely read ‘horror’ (I can’t even think of a solid example of something ‘horrorish’ that I have read), but this is probably the closest I’ve come to horror in a fictional novel format. ![]() ![]() ![]() His loyalty and kindness are his defining qualities.

The book packs a powerful emotional punch, evoking horror, laughter, and empathy. Peekay's story is written in a direct, almost childlike style, which sometimes seems bland, but readers will be swept along by the events in the protagonist's life. Courtenay's ear for dialogue is impressive, and he consistently captures the cadences of South African speech. The author is unsparing in his portrayal of the brutality meted out to prisoners and in his depiction of racist speech. Courtenay's deft and chillingly accurate characterization of the Afrikaner prison warders. It is there that he learns to box and becomes a secret ally of the black prisoners.

Five-year-old Peekay is the only English-speaking boy in a harsh Afrikaans-language boarding school.

The microbes in our bodies are part of our immune systems and protect us from disease. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ed Yong, whose humor is as evident as his erudition, prompts us to look at ourselves and our animal companions in a new light-less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. ![]() ![]() ![]() Named a Best Book of 2016 by The Economist, Smithsonian, NPR's Science Friday, MPR, Minnesota Star Tribune, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, The Guardian, Times (London)įrom Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong, a groundbreaking, wondrously informative, and vastly entertaining examination of the most significant revolution in biology since Darwin-a “microbe’s-eye view” of the world that reveals a marvelous, radically reconceived picture of life on earth.Įvery animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, I may listen to it a second time right now that I finished it the first time.ĭid you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Now do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Don McLean Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Ringo, to me, is the most powerful character in this story. Oliver Vale is so real, so humble and unassuming that you can't help but fall in love with him. Which character – as performed by Kirby Heyborne – was your favorite? I love the back and forth of the story between Oliver's mother's diary, the different characters telling the story from their points of views, the larger-than-life circumstances and "chance" meetups that keep building until the climax explodes into existence with great satisfaction. His fun style is hard to put down after you start and this is his best work (well, Blackburn is just as good.) This has been my favorite book of all time from the first time I read it back in 1994 and I haven't gone wrong with a Bradley Denton novel. ![]() ![]() Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend?

Through the efforts of attorney George Shearer, journalist Alice Bloomfield, and a diligent defense team, the gang receives an appeal in the second act that leads to their eventual acquittal. The first act stages their satirically nightmarish first trial, in which the judge allows the Press, a physical manifestation of the sensationalized news media, to act as the prosecuting attorney. Through a series of flashbacks and often bitterlyfarcical reenactments, Zoot Suit focuses on four of the twenty-two unfairlyimprisoned men. The play follows Henry Reyna who, along with twenty-one of his friends and fellow 38th Street gang members, is arrested for the murder of José Williams. Valdez fictionalizes the event, partially altering the names of historical figures. ![]() This led to a media frenzy of anti-Chicano sentiment, portraying Mexican-American teens as delinquents and degenerates.
