MY REVIEW: I Can’t believe myself that I’m giving it a less than 4 star rating. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home. What he doesn’t count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it’s his shot at his dream. And while Emily-the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club’s most respected member-is in town, he’s gonna prove it to her. ![]() Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. ![]() Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Sure, she’s curious about her biological father-the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent-but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a part of his world. SUMMARY:Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. GENRE:Young-Adult, Contemporary, Romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The sentence structure if often confusing, and there are many things in the book that are misleading and still more that are simply wrong.įor instance, "Original Seven Wonders of the Earth", is easy to overlook, but they can't be "original" since one of the seven is on the list specifically because it has been witnessed with recent recorded history. There are several things, like the "angelic" airlines that lightly push towards religion, which is never acceptable in a children's book. Most of the artwork in the book consists of photographs (without citation) that look like they were taken off the internet and had cartoon airplanes added to the photos to get past the copyright laws. If this were an elementary school project, It would receive a B at best, and when you are selling a product, especially one that is trying to teach our youth, it needs to be an A+. This is most definitely a children's book. I don't want to be rude to a book that I won for free, but I write these reviews for myself and for anybody that might be thinking of buying a book. ![]() ![]() Not knowing which road to follow is frightening, but the scariest thing of all is not knowing how this ends.

Master storyteller Michael Morpurgo has adapted his much-loved novel, War Horse, for a picture book audience. ![]() ![]() ![]() We live, we love, and we die."Īlthough reared in the North, Toni Morrison is the genetic and historical offspring of southern traditions. In rebuttal of less inclusive philosophies, Morrison states: "There is a notion out in the land that there are black people or Indians or some other marginal group, and if you write about the world from that point of view, somehow it is considered lesser." Rejecting anything other than full membership in humanity for black people, she asserts her credo: "We are people, not aliens. A bold novelist, she has staked out fictional turf on which to dramatize the fact that black people, the center of her microcosms, are not marginal racial anomalies, but a genuine human society. An unflinching champion of her race and its heritage, Toni Morrison confesses to " the unthinkable." In her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Beloved, she explores infanticide, rape, seduction, madness, passion, wisdom, alienation, powerlessness, regret, tyranny, and the supernatural. ![]() ![]() There are very few artists who make their audience – reader, viewer, subscriber – stop and consider the idea of art. You’re never sure whether the ideas are those of a character, the narrator, whether their being said aloud – she really blurs the lines between character, narrator and author. The way she deal with speech is also really interesting. You can definitely see that Smith has been inspired somewhat by Woolf, but she takes the use of brackets – to show different thing happening at the same time – to a whole other level. If this is true, Ali Smith reinvented the reinvented sentence.

So unlike most children of mathematicians and therapists, he came to learn, as he would later recall, “that there is beauty in saying something clearly and simply.” As a journalist, he plumbed the behavioral research for optimistic lessons about the human condition, and he found an eager audience during the heady, proudly geeky ’90s. His mother also just happened to be a writer on the side. Their professions pointed young Malcolm toward the behavioral sciences, whose popularity would explode in the 1990s. His mother was a psychotherapist and his father a mathematician. No one could know it then, but he arrived with nearly the perfect background for his time. ![]() ![]() In 1984, a young man named Malcolm graduated from the University of Toronto and moved to the United States to try his hand at journalism. Or at least that’s one version of the story of Malcolm Gladwell. ![]() In the vast world of nonfiction writing, he is as close to a singular talent as exists today. There, he wrote articles full of big ideas about the hidden patterns of ordinary life, which then became grist for two No. After less than a decade at The Post, he moved up to the pinnacle of literary journalism, The New Yorker. Thanks to his uncommonly clear writing style and keen eye for a story, he quickly landed a job at The Washington Post. ![]() |
