There is a centerpiece of valuably illustrative photographs. The book is impressively designed, the text punctuated with excellent little drawings. Ravens behave in the same manner with polar bears, large cats and other predators - and sometimes, famously in history and legend, with human hunters. There is evidence that ravens locate potential kills for wolves. They are known to have attacked reindeer, lambs, seal pups and other large animals.Īn "ancient evolutionary history" between wolves and ravens has led to their being called "wolf birds." Wolves will kill an animal, rip open the carcass (which ravens cannot do) and eat only the choicest bits of it, then move along quickly to kill again, leaving the bulk of the flesh to ravens and other animals and birds. They eat heavily from dead animals, but they also kill - birds, small animals. ![]() Most crows are very social and band in large groups, but ravens tend toward lone pairs. ![]() As a woodsman myself, I can say with confidence that he makes the sensory experience of being in the wilds extraordinarily real. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Stephen kings christine![]() Arnie’s transformation into sweaty, arrogant parental nightmare runs parallel to Christine’s first regeneration, the pair developing a parasitic relationship that can only be described as icky. His parents loom over him and control his every decision, Buddy Repperton and his gang attack him in his lessons, whilst Dennis’ other friends barely give him the time of day. Like Carrie, Arnie is attacked from all sides. Keith Gordon’s Arnie isn’t quite as gauche or naive as Carrie White, but he gets just as mad, albeit in a less telekinetic way. In this respect, Christine shares its DNA with Stephen King’s earlier work, Carrie, in that an ostracised teenager finds a form of empowerment against their antagonists in the supernatural. ![]() ![]() Though Arnie’s choice of car proves to be a terrible one, it’s not surprising that he finds himself defending his decision to purchase her.įor Christine is a tale of teenage rebellion and independence, one in which a boy blighted by strict parents, bullying, and isolation finds a sense of purpose that makes him feel better about himself. Of course, I only had a little Fiat Punto that, though given to mechanical temper tantrums, was decidedly not evil (nor could it regenerate itself, much to my bank account’s disappointment). It’s a sudden and heady knowledge of independence, of escape. That intoxicating feeling of being able to go anywhere you want, at any time, however far away. I remember the first time that I could drive out on my own in my car. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Brave new world book online![]() ![]() ![]() “A genius who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. One of the most prophetic dystopian works." -Wall Street JournalĪldous Huxley's profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit ![]() ![]() ![]() While it is understandable that many long-time readers who hoped for a conventional James Bond adventure would have been thrown by The Spy Who Loved Me’s unusual format, the novel was still a daring and interesting narrative experiment. ![]() As such, The Spy Who Loved Me’s story of a woman running from her past would have been a confusing non-sequitur for viewers attending Roger Moore's latest James Bond movie. Even now, the James Bond franchise conjures up images of glamorous locations, high-risk stunts, hand-to-hand combat, and expensive automobiles. By 1962, had established a successful formula of 007 running through his usual gamut of gambling, fighting, chase scenes, and witty repartee with his nemeses, and these aspects were all the more acute in the movie adaptations of the series. These criticisms would likely have been mirrored by a movie adaptation that stuck to The Spy Who Loved Me’s strange narrative. ![]() Fleming's usual careful construction.” One of the kinder summations of the novel, The Observer’s review, called The Spy Who Loved Me “ regrettable if not altogether unreadable.” While Kingsley Amis’s first James Bond novel Colonel Sun had a hard time following in Fleming’s footsteps, these brutal write-ups proved that Fleming himself struggled to broaden the definition of what a James Bond story could be. The Glasgow Herald claimed that Felimg’s “ ability to invent a plot has deserted him,” while The Times said that The Spy Who Loved Me “ lacks Mr. Critics savaged Fleming’s experimental effort upon release. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments P.S.

Duh.įBI profiler Rain Christiansen has spent the last few months in the dog-house and on medical leave after he tried to deliver a message from the spirit of a dead girl to her grieving parents. I only really noticed the similarities between it and some of my other recent listens once I’d started it. Harmon’s The Blueprint, and was keen to try another title by that author. To tell the truth though, I actually picked it up because I’d recently enjoyed S.E. ![]() ![]() I recently reviewed Z.A Maxfield’s The Long Way Home, featuring an ex-police officer who gained psychic abilities following a serious accident, and I’m working my way through Jordan Castillo Price’s excellent Psycop series, in which the main protagonist is a cop who is also a medium… so I suppose a title like P.S. Lately, I seem to have been drawn to stories with characters who are psychics, mediums and cops in some shape or form. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments Hades and persephone amelia wilde![]() Hades and Persephone make an appearance in this book and I loved seeing them again.

It sounds like his kind of thing, but I wonder how he’ll be able to capture the concept for live action. ![]() Night Shyamalan is adapting this as his next film. Why do authors always feel the need the kill the animals? And don’t fucking come at me with “But people died, too” bullshit. The black and white coloring and style was hard to look at, and many of the details were lost inside the panels.Īlso, the dog dying was upsetting. Maybe I’m missing some subtle allusions to moral, metaphor, or allegory, but I don’t really care. The ending was expected, but there’s no resolution/explanation whatsoever.
