FROM DARKER: FIFTY SHADES DARKER AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN This book takes place between Jun 9.2011 and Jun 18, 2011. If nothing else, the venture seems missing a crucial step of the protagonists or anyone else realizing just how invasive the whole setup is. Still, the action itself is a bit rote and I don’t find the final twist(s) to be particularly effective, so in general it feels as though the core premise could have been better served. (There’s thankfully no mention of rape, but it’s all too easy to imagine that level of monstrosity as well, given the literal murders we see nonchalantly carried out against the manufactured duplicates who believe they actually exist.) The basic idea is a neat spin on the Star Trek holodeck - wherein police use futuristic technology to recreate an entire day in their city and enter it to gather evidence that they couldn’t at the time - and horrific in its abuses, like the cop heroes killing or romancing someone under the reasoning that the person is only a fake copy whose real counterpart will never know. Short even for a novella and with somewhat generic characters and plot, this piece reads more like a proof-of-concept for its setting than a full story, especially by the standards of author Brandon Sanderson’s usual stellar output. Misaki told herself that she left the passions of her youth behind when she married into the Matsuda house. Worse, the empire he was bred to defend may stand on a foundation of lies. But when an outsider arrives and pulls back the curtain on Kaigen's alleged age of peace, Mamoru realizes that he might not have much time to become the fighter he was bred to be. For hundreds of years, the fighters of the Kusanagi Peninsula have held the Empire's enemies at bay, earning their frozen spit of land the name "The Sword of Kaigen".īorn into Kusanagi's legendary Matsuda family, f14-year-old Mamoru has always known his purpose: To master his family's fighting techniques and defend his homeland. On a mountainside at the edge of the Kaigenese Empire live the most powerful warriors in the world, superhumans capable of raising the sea and wielding blades of ice. She very much enjoys rethinking these classic tales from an original point of view, always looking for the real psychological underpinning of the story. Her novels for the Simon Pulse line, “Once Upon a Time” are The Night Dance a Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, Water Song: a Retelling of the Frog Prince, and The Crimson Thread: a Retelling of Rumplestiltskin. Suzanne’s other books for Simon Pulse include South Beach Sizzle, a romantic comedy written with Diana Gonzalez. She teaches part time at City College in New York. She graduated from State University of New York at Binghamton and received her Masters degree from Pace University. Her house is at the edge of the woods and is nearly 200 years old. Suzanne now lives in upper New York State with her husband, two teen daughters and Abby the cat. Suzanne lived pretty close to the ocean and going to Jones Beach was one of her favorite activities Even today, if she goes too long without seeing the ocean, she starts feeling restless. Louisa May Alcott was her favorite author, but she also read every Sherlock Holmes story. As a girl she was very interested in theater and in reading. Suzanne Weyn grew up in Williston Park, Long Island, New York. Batman would be a serious film (well, as serious as a comic book movie can be) and Keaton was perfect in the Bruce Wayne/Batman role. Nothing could have been further from the truth. There was much unnecessary angst when comic actor Michael Keaton landed the title role with fans feeling that was a sure sign the film would lean towards the campy style evident in the famous television series. The story follows our Caped Crusader in his quest to clean up Gotham which is in the midst of a frightening crime wave. The brilliantly conceived, stunning visuals are the perfect backdrop for the story which will unfold. The city is almost a character unto itself in the film.dark, mysterious and somehow quite real. Gotham is dark, gloomy, and dreary.almost oppressively so. But where does he get those wonderful toys? In this film Tim Burton does a very good job of bringing the Dark Knight to life while also seemingly giving the dark, foreboding city of Gotham a life of its own. Our hero has no magical, mystical superpowers.he's just a guy in a suit. Campy television series aside, Batman has always seemed the most serious, the most grounded, the most real of all the comic book sagas. No radioactive spider bites or guys turning green or supermodels painted blue here. Grunge music came, saw and conquered, but by the late 1990s - barely 10 years after grunge prototypes like Mother Love Bone and Green River first began breaking out of the dreary, as yet unheard of Northwest music scene and onto the world stage - it was dead.Īt the time of Cobain’s death in 1994, numerous bands from the Seattle area had enjoyed incredible success, and many more musicians and bands were flocking to Seattle to take part in the recording-industry feeding frenzy in the wake of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album and its iconic hit single, “Smells like Teen Spirit.” The lyric greeting readers at the beginning of the book alludes to the horde of talented musicians, followed by large recording studios trolling for the “next Nirvana” descending on Seattle at this time. It is perhaps not coincidental that this particular song was written and performed at the height of grunge music’s ascendance to the top of the American popular-music landscape, and just two years before the loss of its scion, Kurt Cobain, frontman for what then may have been the most prominent band in the world: Nirvana. In Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge, the reader is presented - even before reaching the table of contents - with this haunting refrain from Mudhoney’s 1992 album. She is soon picked up by another group of survivors led by the mysterious and enigmatic former IT tech Bob. And yet, she carries on until she cannot any longer.

Set in the present, Candace Chen is your basic child of immigrants-turned young professional, working in New York City. Ma is the first author to so thoroughly nail the working ethos, apathy, and thirst for belonging that encapsulates millennials. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Ling Ma’s debut novel, SEVERANCE, but the only true label I can ascribe to it, is that it is first and foremost a millennial novel. A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our time, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come. Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government, and that we must find new solutions. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end? Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated, and demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 18 cannot be repeated. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, motor vehicles, air travel, and television transformed households and workplaces. In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable.
