![]() ![]() I didn't care much for the story, but the art is pretty good. In the absence of words, you end up judging it more by art. ![]() The child is punished as if he had done something wrong, which he really didn't. The frog gets the family in trouble and then suffers no consequences for this. He goes in the room and then he and the frog laugh. When they get home, his parents send him to his room. As they drive home, everyone else is angry at him. So the entire family gets kicked out of the restaurant. Then the the waiter, or maitre d' or whatever, goes to throw the frog out a door labeled "Fire exit" and the boy sees that happening (his family is trying to get him to be quiet) and gets up and takes ownership of the frog. It jumps into somebody else's glass of, presumably, alcohol, and kisses him on the face. The frog jumps around and gets into antics, like messing with the instruments of the band, and jumping into somebody's salad and freaking them out. They go to "Fancy Restaurant." They sit down to order. I don't know if all the copies are rather small, or if it's just the publication run that I got from the library.Ī boy goes to dinner with his family. ![]()

![]() After six years of foreign policy brinkmanship that took the Nazi regime from success to success, Hitler's drive to prepare Germany for the war he saw as its destiny reached its fateful hour in September 1939. The Nazi regime took more and more radical measures against the racially "unfit," including Germany's Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill, "asocial" and "habitual" criminals. Those who were seen as unfit to be counted among the German people were dealt with in increasingly brutal terms. His book shows how the Nazis attempted to penetrate and reorder every aspect of German society, encountering many kinds and degrees of resistance along the way but gradually winning the acceptance of the German people in the long run. Every area of life, from literature, culture, and the arts to religion, education, and science, was subordinated to the relentless drive to prepare Germany for war. Evans tells the story of Germany's radical reshaping under Nazi rule. ![]() ![]() If this could happen in less than a year, what would the future hold? Only the most fervent Nazi party loyalists would have predicted how radical the transformation ahead would be. ![]() The definitive account of Germany's malign transformation under Hitler's total rule and the implacable march to war.īy the middle of 1933, the democracy of the Weimar Republic had been transformed into the police state of the Third Reich, mobilized around the cult of the leader, Adolf Hitler. ![]() ![]() He lives in London where his interests include theatre, opera and fishing.

Inspired by Aphra Behn’s visit to Surinam, Oroonoko (1688) reflects the author’s romantic view of Native Americans as simple, superior peoples ‘in the first state of innocence, before men knew how to sin’. Oroonoko’s noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. ‘We are bought and sold like apes or monkeys, to be the sport of women, fools, and cowards, and the support of rogues’.When Prince Oroonoko’s passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam.

In language both eye-opening and optimistic, hooks encourages us to demand alternatives to patriarchal, racist, and homophobic culture, and to imagine a different future. With her customary insight and unsparing honesty, hooks calls for a feminism free from divisive barriers but rich with rigorous debate. hooks applies her critical analysis to the most contentious and challenging issues facing feminists today, including reproductive rights, violence, race, class, and work. ![]() ![]() Hers is a vision of a beloved community that appeals to all those committed to equality, mutual respect, and justice.

![]() ![]() ![]() In this 10-page excerpt from issue four of the original series, Grayson is in class with fellow teen superhero Atom Eve when they discover their irritating physics teacher is actually a nut job who has been kidnapping students and turning them into living bombs. Invincible is the story of Mark Grayson, a seemingly normal high school kid who is really the superhero Invincible, and the story of his father, Omni-Man, an all-powerful Superman-like figure from another planet who purports to be the Earth’s protector. Celebrated Walking Dead creator and comics writer Robert Kirkman, who is also the co-creator and writer of the Invincible superhero universe, marks the 20th anniversary of the series with Invincible Compendium One, a hardcover reprint edition that collects the first 47 issues of the Invincible series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Gyppo’ in this case refers not to ‘gypsies’ but rather signifies a group of independent loggers not associated with a union or company. ![]() ![]() At its core, it is a drama about the fortunes and misfortunes of a family of ‘gyppo’ loggers, the Stampers, in rural Oregon in the early 1960s. The author considered it his greatest work, although he’s certainly better known for the shorter novel One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, doubtless due in no small part due to the excellent adaptation starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. Sometimes A Great Notion is very much a product of this tension. Ken Kesey occupies a peculiar space in American fiction a little too young to be counted firmly among the cohort of the Beats but a bit too old fashioned to be truly of and by the Hippie generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike Godwin, who formulated his “law” in 1994 for a sardonic essay in Wired, originally claimed that “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” Snyder is not the kind of angry online troll that Godwin had in mind. That’s a misreading of Godwin as well as of Snyder. Michael Gove, the perpetually rising star of Britain’s Conservative Party, characterized On Tyranny as an instance of “Godwin’s law… the principle that, sooner or later in any argument, someone will invoke the Nazis to make their point.” Still, Snyder has left some reviewers cold. However, 2016 is a symptom of a broader and recurrent malaise. Trump is not Hitler, and the Left is quite as capable of destroying democratic institutions as the Right (a point Nicolas Maduro has made again this week in Venezuela). The rise of Donald Trump and the disastrous 2016 election prompted Snyder to undertake this project. ![]() It’s by far the most useful and engaging examination I’ve read of democratic decline and of the need for resolute resistance against its collapse. Snyder draws his lessons from deep study of the European catastrophes that piled, one atop the other, from 1914 to 1991, a scholarly career that culminated, in 2010, with Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin. Yesterday, in a single sitting, I read Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny. ![]() ![]() ![]() It includes everyday life, but with Agatha, can anything be boring? I should think not. At the end, Agatha, Liam, and Brianna are trapped by the villain (trying not to spoil the story too much), but they take him out and save the day.Īlthough the plot may seem simple, Agatha is a very unique character, and very smart. Agatha and Liam, followed by a new third friend Brianna, have to continue finding clues, even while they are being threatened by the criminal. Then she finds clues left behind for her by her late mother, and finds out that her mother was part of a secret detective agency. But when an old lady is the victim of a hit-and-run, and strange red slime appears throughout London instead of water, she and her best friend Liam Lau find that they have gotten their biggest case ever (so far). But until now she couldn’t find one to solve. ![]() The first book of Agatha Oddly! I haven’t read the others yet, but I loved the first one :).ġ3-year-old Agatha Oddley loves to solve mysteries. Hey guys! Today I’m writing another book review, this time on one that I finished just yesterday, and also is in my favorites list. ![]() |
