![]() I was completely hooked after only a few chapters. I am NOT a reader but enjoyed the movie based on the book so decided to give the book a try. Totally ruined the book and any future books by this author for me. ![]() I would imagine the majority of her readers are females and i am not quite sure how many females do enjoy reading of animals being tortured, killed, decapitated. I dont think i would want to read another one of her books because of this. It could have been a good story with interesting characters even though you can see right thru it and tell who will wind up with who, i really wish the author did not ruin it with these grotesque torture and killings of animals. This has ruined the whole book for me and i am so disappointed that i can not finish the book now. It started out ok and then I was very disappointed when being the animal lover that I am, i had to read graphic details of how a killer tortured and killed 4 animals and a human in a most grotesquely horrific manner.

I really don’t know how she does it, but these books just have so much heart that my own heart was really crushed because this series had to end. Indeed, Colleen Hoover is one of the best storytellers and story-weavers in my opinion. ![]() And of course, the same thing happened with Point of Retreat and This Girl (which is my favorite within the series as well). When I first started with Slammed, I really did not know what to expect and that’s why I was completely blown away with the depth and substance even with such a simple plot. I can’t even begin to explain the impact and influence these books have on my life. I’m going out on a limb by saying this has got to be one of the best new adult series EVER. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sutherland created a truly despicable villain in Captain Neils. Mutiny is punished by death and those who flee from it are hounded for the rest of their lives by the Navy-what will Alexis do in such a morally complicated situation? Her decent treatment of them results in Neil's control erodingto the point they're ready to rise up against him. Things go from bad to worse after she ends up taking temporary command of Hermione's fighting men. Alexis suffers daily indignities and punishments in hopes of driving her to resign. ![]() It is not a happy ship as its captain, Neils, is a flogging happy tyrant who hates the idea of women in the Navy. The premise is our heroine, still fifteen-years-old and now suffering from PTSD after executing a pirate, has been assigned to the H.M.S. The fact this is based on a historical incident in the Age of Sail, minus a plucky Midshipwoman, makes the story all the better. ![]() I think it's because this is a much darker novel and manages to deal with a nearly insurmountable problem for our heroine that reflects a real-life problem in today's military: misogyny from a higher up in a system designed to make sure your superiors are the word of God. I read Mutineer as soon as I finished the first novel, Into the Dark, and it was even better than the original. Alexis Carew is my favorite new series and one I intend to continue reading as long as J.A. ![]() ![]() And at night, the broken yellow moon in it. ![]() ![]() That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever, beside their river "graygreen. When their English cousin, Sophie Mol, and her mother, Margaret Kochamma, arrive on a Christmas visit, Esthappen and Rahel learn that Things Can Change in a Day. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, they fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family - their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts).

But he fails to explain why other civilizations that had those same advantages, for example China, India, the Middle East, didn't develop the science and technology that allowed Europe to dominate the world. I was willing to buy his notion that access to domesticating animals allowed for more productive farming and therefore greater civilizational advances. But 'Guns, Germs & Steel' is too weak an idea to carry through more than one episode, let alone three. I usually enjoy these video documentaries though I know that I'm getting watered-down history with great visuals. ![]() This series asks the question: why do Westerners have so much materially and the natives of New Guinea have so little? Jared Diamond's thesis in Guns, Germs and Steel is that because Europeans had geographical conditions which were favorable to farming and domesticating animals they had natural advantages which allowed them to develop a high degree of civilization and conquer the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() From Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps to Martin Luther King Jr., from the CEO of Starbucks to the locker rooms of the NFL, Duhigg explores the incredible results of keystone habits, and how they can make all the difference between billions and millions, failure and success – or even life and death.The Power of Habit makes an exhilarating case: the key to almost any door in life is instilling the right habit.
