Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Dark/Enemies-to-Lovers/Sports Romance/Bully Romance Redival till we have faces6/23/2023 This makes it easy to dismiss, even though it shouldn't be. This augments the particular nature of the book in a way, since it is very much his least remembered publication, even though it is often considered his best, and part of me tends to think that this is because it really doesn't fit neatly into any one category. In addition to that, while I was never as into his philosophical or apologetics works as I was his fiction, you can definitely detect strong traces of both here, despite it being part of his fiction repertoire. Lewis work, complete with the turns of phrase and descriptive fashion that only he could really do in that way. Then, part two kinda put a wrench in things, becoming way too philosophical and such to allow me to remain nearly so engaged in the narrative.All that being said, this is still very much a C. I didn't love it, but it was very interesting. That said, part one was quite good, with a bit of a different twist on things than the norm, but still aligning enough so as to be engaging and intriguing. To be fair, it's worth noting that I am a huge mythology fanatic, so I tend to have far higher standards than most when it comes to novelizations of the existing stories. I thought it was pretty good, but I couldn't really get into it as much as I had hoped. The tell tale heart and other writings6/23/2023 He speaks through his verses to convey his devastated feelings of despair. Also in the collection are select poems such as "Lenore" and "The Raven." Both stories tell tales of death and lost love about two different women named Lenore Poe's poems mourn these characters, making his words even more poetic and poignant. Still, madness, anger, and retribution all make their way into the majority of Poe's works. Many of Poe's other popular works are included in the anthology, such as "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Cask of Amontillado." Murder is a theme in both the works, though Poe executes his characters in decidedly different ways. Guilt and paranoia flood the narrator, and the audience experiences the narrator's plunge into madness as his fears begin to manifest. As he sits right above the body, he begins to hear the dead man's heart thumping loudly in his ears. In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator has just killed a man and buried him under his floor. Readers will recognize their favorite horror stories in the collection "The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Writings." Edgar Allen Poe was a master of suspense, horror, and mystery, and his stories, while truly terrifying, are also delightfully entertaining.

Faith of the fallen by terry goodkind6/22/2023 While Richard is busy in the Old World, Kahlan and others are attempting to divert and resist the Order, and they experience several harrowing ordeals before the book's end. He utilizes one of his many talents to strike at the heart of the Order, bringing something priceless to thousands of suffering citizens: hope. He lives in desperate conditions, but draws on the strength of his convictions to allow him to find success and contentment, greatly inspiring those around him. Richard and Kahlan find themselves once again torn apart, as Richard is kidnapped by a Sister of the Dark, and taken deep into the Old World. In this book, Richard reminds the reader of Howard Roarke, from Ayn Rand's classic work, The Fountainhead, as he remains true to himself and his purpose, regardless of daunting circumstances. Easily one of the best books in the series thus far, Goodkind continues to expertly explore the indomitable human spirit. The vision by jen nadol6/22/2023 Then I saw him-the pimply kid-and did a double-take, staring as he walked across the color-flecked carpet, waving to a coworker on his way for a soda or fries or a horrible accident. On break, I thought briefly, ready to ask Zander if he wanted to see the new movie this weekend. I looked for the pimply kid, but he wasn’t at the ticket window. I’d left my gloves in the car and relished the touch of our palms as we walked hand in hand past Sears, toward the theater. Enough to open up the fragile parts of himself. So what if I’d started the conversation about his dad? His willingness to continue it told me he really did care about me. Probing his past wouldn’t be easy for either of us, but it was just the opening I’d been looking for. I didn’t even protest when Zander suggested the mall, happily surprised he wasn’t going to avoid talking about Saturday. |
