![]() ![]() Drawing from hundreds of exclusive interviews, as well as extensive scrutiny of public records, private papers, and court proceedings, Mayer provides vivid portraits of the secretive figures behind the new American oligarchy and a searing look at the carefully concealed agendas steering the nation. Mayer traces a byzantine trail of billions of dollars spent by the network, revealing a staggering conglomeration of think tanks, academic institutions, media groups, courthouses, and government allies that have fallen under their sphere of influence. ![]() Why is America living in an age of profound and widening economic inequality? Why have even modest attempts to address climate change been defeated again and again? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? In a riveting and indelible feat of reporting, Jane Mayer illuminates the history of an elite cadre of plutocrats headed by the Kochs, the Scaifes, the Olins, and the Bradleys who have bankrolled a systematic plan to fundamentally alter the American political system. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Clay doesn’t have a cell phone, but his son does, and he has no idea in what form he might find Johnny if he manages to find the boy at all. Yet the hero’s odyssey remains compelling as he attempts to return home to estranged wife Sharon and beloved son Johnny, and the surrogate family of refugees he attracts along the way adds a human dimension. ![]() The plot can’t sustain the sizzle of its sensational opening: More concerned with the effects of this cell-phone terrorism than its cause, the author never indicates what’s happening beyond Clay’s immediate vicinity. The author taps into the collective dread of a society battered by 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina as he depicts a battle for survival that pits “normies” such as Clay, the few who didn’t have cellular access, against hordes of “phoners,” who quickly develop a flocking instinct and telepathic communication. Some sort of simultaneous transmission has transformed the city’s citizenry into mindless zombies. As King ( From a Buick 8, 2002, etc.) describes this urban meltdown in gory, graphic detail, it becomes increasingly obvious to Riddell that all who have suddenly become crazy were talking on their cell phones. Bystanders devour the flesh of strangers. King’s apocalyptic cautionary tale suggests that cellular communication could be as pernicious as it is pervasive.Īrtist Clay Riddell has just traveled from his native Maine to Boston to sell his first graphic novel when all hell breaks loose. ![]() ![]() ![]() She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection.

But poor Theo is out here ready to burst a damn vessel, so I have to know, what was the inspiration for Theo being the ball of angst and anger?Įmery Lee: What are teens if not balls of angst and anger? Haha, but honestly, I find as a reader and writer, I most relate to characters who are very intense in their feelings, especially when it comes to teens. Will they be able to save their businesses? Why do they have such intense beef? Keep reading our chat with Emery to find out!

Now, on the flip side I muse admit that the pace of the book was one thing that irked me to no end: It was inconsistent. ![]() But when you read a book that is from this trope, are you really that surprised? Going into this, I knew that there would be certain things in this book that one would consider trigger warnings and also topics that one would voice their displeasure rather vocally. But having said that, I didn’t not enjoy it. Having read numerous books from this genre, Upon a Burning Throne is not my favourite fantasy read. ![]() Having read parts of the mahabharata during my school days that too in Hindi… I think I erased that ordeal from my memory but the Mahabharata has fascinated me so when this book was advertised as a re-telling of The Mahabharata but also called the Indian Game of Thrones ( A die hard GOT fan here □□♀️)…you can imagine that I was all for it. ![]() ![]() ![]() So it made sense for me to dive into the story from that perspective! Readers have rightfully pointed out that the story has some similar vibes to the movie Election, which ironically also stars Reese Witherspoon. ![]() ![]() How did you come up with this idea and were there other movies, TV shows, or books that influenced the story?ĭefinitely! I love queer retellings of classics, and Legally Blonde has been one of my favorites for years.

But as the campaign progresses, Blaine is forced to consider how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to be who Joey wants him to be. Determined to prove that he can be the “serious” guy of Joey’s dreams, Blaine impulsively enters the race for senior class president and soon becomes a prominent candidate (What? Like it’s hard?). Instead, Joey breaks up with him-in public-saying that Blaine is just not “serious” enough. Blaine is convinced that today, which marks his one year anniversary, is the day that his boyfriend, Joey, will finally ask Blaine to go on his annual Cabo trip with him. The story begins on what is supposed to be the best night of 17-year-old Blaine Bowers’ life. Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly read any more about politics, I came across Blaine for the Win and have been obsessed with it ever since. ![]() ![]() ![]() The author has also placed an accent on the women, kids and old people… The volume is a good one to read for those with the interest in the history, as this is also one of the parts of the naval history, although one of the most tragic pages.

![]() ![]() A lot of this is tongue in cheek and very funny. In fact, the first few chapters are similar to a RPG video game, in which the rules are given in tutorials before the real game begins. The protagonist, Carl, enters with the dungeon with his ex-girlfriend's cat- Princess Donut, who, after a lucky experience in the dungeon, becomes super intelligent, and a more skilled character than Carl, meaning that she has a lot of control over how they proceed.Ī premise this zany can only be introduced nonchalantly and with a lot of detail, and this is what the author does. The aliens create a pastiche of various aspects of human culture, meaning that fantasy creatures such as goblins are portrayed as antagonists, and the earth characters (or 'crawlers') can 'level up' as if they are in a video game. ![]() In Dungeon Crawler Carl, aliens invade the earth, instantly killing much of the population, and giving the survivors the option to either scrape a living as scavengers, or to turn themselves into characters in a real life RPG in an interactive arena underground. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |y .i65397836 |i 31652002572635 |l wdpj |s - |k |u 18 |x 2 |w 0 |v 3 |t 10 |z 02-27-12 |o - |f CHILDREN |a FICTION Meyer Soggetto: dal libro Isabel: Jewel of Castilla di Carolyn Meyer - Sceneggiatura: Ann Bradshaw, Barbara OKelly - Scenografia: Ian Brock - Formato: Color.
