5/28/2023 0 Comments Gorgeous As Sin by Susan JohnsonI just regret wasting my time reading this book. The fact that Rosalind took him back just made me dislike her. In fact, after Rosalind gets out of jail and gets all mad at him, he thinks she such b*tch even thought its his fault that she was in prison in the first place. But what got me the most was that he kept calling the Rosalind, a b*tch (Im not sure if I can use this word in the review) and amount other things through out the book. Furthermore, while the hero sleeps with the heroin, he is plotting to destroy her behind her back so he can buy her land and use it to get richer. I hate unfaithful heroes, thats such a TURN OFF for me and I just couldnt get over that. All he seems to be good at is how to pleasure woman in bed so of course he wasnt faithful to heroin through out book because he is with other woman. One of the main problem was the hero, Fitz, is such a jerk and VERY unlikable character that at end I really didnt believe he was sincere about loving the heroin. I guess I could start with the fact that the story was so predicable. I hate this story so much that I dont even know where to begin. (WARNING: Have some SPOILER on the review) 5/28/2023 0 Comments Turtles all the way down azaIt is an appropriate cover, as the YA megastar John Green attempts many metaphorical translations of obsessive thoughts in his compelling narrative of sixteen-year-old Aza Holmes, an Indianapolis teen living with anxiety and OCD. The ominous, ever-present and seemingly infinite spiral of thoughts that plague those struggling with illnesses like anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression are represented by a broad orange corkscrew on the cover of John Green’s newest book, Turtles All the Way Down. In some ways, pain is the opposite of language. It can’t be represented the way a table or a body can. You often try to understand your experience through a metaphor, Aza: It’s like a demon inside of you you’ll call your consciousness a bus, or a prison cell, or a spiral, or a whirlpool… One of the challenges with pain-physical or psychic-is that we can really only approach it through metaphor.

Mix Isaacson and Franklin, and you catch a glimpse of a twenty-first-century American creating his own persona (and in a sense our national persona) by inventing and reinventing Franklin's. Blend Isaacson and Morgan, and you have the humor, irreverence, common sense, craftiness, and wisdom that together are Benjamin Franklin. Morgan's appreciative and reflective Benjamin Franklin (2002). Of the crafting of writings on Franklin there is no end, but Isaacson's stands up wonderfully to the measure against which all are judged-Carl Van Doren's classic Benjamin Franklin (1938). He would have glowed at the admiration that Isaacson lavishes upon him as the cosmopolitan entrepreneur who built a network of printing partnerships in colonial America, which the former chairman of cnn and managing editor of Time magazine redefines in modern lingo as a “‘successful, vertically integrated media conglomerate’” (p. 510) of one of the nation's greatest popular heroes is one that Franklin himself would have enjoyed and chuckled over. Lively and full, this colorful “chronological narrative biography” (p. Walter Isaacson has given us a splendid account of Benjamin Franklin's life. Michael and the other cats featured in the comic are more archetypes than characters, and Michael is depicted living with various owners or being a stray cat as the story calls for it. Unlike the later Weekly Morning cute cat comic Chi’s Sweet Home, What’s Michael? isn’t a traditional serialized comic. All of Dark Horse’s other comics originally published in the ’90s, like Oh My Goddess!, have been restored to their original orientation in newer editions. There’s nothing wrong with this and it certainly makes things a little easier for non-manga readers, but it’s also very unusual for a book released in 2020. Something that surprised me about this omnibus edition is that it’s still presented in the flipped-art format that it used when the individual volumes were first published in the ‘90s, meaning it reads from left to right like an American comic. |
