![]() also, the author seemed to put emphasis on weird words via italics, which was just awkward. ![]() ![]() i think if the story had JUST been about the breakup, it would have been much better.

So, overall, a relate able story that was semi poorly written.ahh i feel terrible saying that, but it is unfortunately true. The Breakup Bible by Melissa Kantor - Alibris Buy The Breakup Bible by Melissa Kantor online at Alibris. There are a few negative things about this book though.the different plot lines weren't intertwined well at ALL! like, you could SEE exactly where the story was going the shifts were not subtle. i was able to relate to so many aspects of the breakup of the main character, jen, and i felt so sad for her!! i also was laughing at the humor and voice that this story was full of. i saw this book and read the back cover, which made me laugh, so i checked it out and read it (in the course of 2 hours, a VERY quick read). The Break-up Bible by Melissa Kantor, is a fiction book about a girl that lives in New York named Jennifer and her struggle to get over her ex-boyfriend, Max that had just recently broken. ![]() The breakup bible was a book the i happened across while seeking out duplicates of books to make room for more in the library i work at.

As each story gives up its magic, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she’s facing at home. Intrigued, and a little bored with her slow job at the checkout desk, she impulsively decides to read every book on the list, one after the other. ![]() It’s a list of novels that she’s never heard of before. He shops every Wednesday, goes to Temple, and worries about his granddaughter, Priya, who hides in her room reading while he spends his evenings watching nature documentaries.Īleisha is a bright but anxious teenager working at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. Summary: Widower Mukesh lives a quiet life in the London Borough of Ealing after losing his beloved wife. ![]() Trigger Warning: Suicide, depression, untreated mental illness, death of a spouse and parent ![]() ![]() I feel like the movie could've been great, and at times it really shines (Paul Giamatti, Marconi, the black guy's scenes). Also, Doug Jones's character and the epilogue scene (with the second alternate universe) go on their way with little relevance or explanation. The reason for this is not the style and pacing of the movie, which I found was enteraining and eerily reminiscent of a bad trip, but that some parts seem to have made moe sense on paper.Īn example of this is the opening axe man scene, which went unexplained and without context. Great set up, but two thirds of the way in the plot kind of wanders away into a literal alternate universe. Without having read the book, I found the movie to be very unfriendly to those who have not read Jhn Dies at the End! As a stand-alone feature, JDATE is confusing and ultimately unfulfulling. So John Dies at the End has been on VOD services for a week now and I managed to watch it last night. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ghost Rider is an impassioned defence of giving it all up: the author describes how, for him, “Wandering became a manifesto, an obsession, a solution to all problems. ![]() Teenager Tucson Stacy, a FTRA (Freight Train Rider of America), proudly says, “This ol’ boxcar is my Cadillac, my momma, my poppa, my brother, my home.” Bikers, tie-dye-clad concert- hopping teenagers, travelling salesmen, motorhome-owning senior citizens, long- distance truck drivers and an itinerant are among those he encounters on the highways. Grant recognises all kinds of wanderers as nomadic. He hoped to discover what propels someone away from the settled life. What is a nomad? And is nomadism a natural human impulse to be welcomed, or a “disease of the soul” to be shunned? After being of no fixed abode for 15 years, Richard Grant set out to track down the remaining wanderers of the American West. Sunday January 12 2003, 12.00am, The Sunday Times ![]() ![]() There’s even an oblique reference to Carly Simon: ‘no-one better’. “Yes, I was quietly joking about the James Bond of the films in that sequence. ![]() He would live forever.” Author Anthony Horowitz had earlier written a James Bond novel titled Trigger Mortis.(Photo: Jon Cartwright) He was the world’s most successful killer… He was the man every woman wanted to sleep with. He was the greatest spy who had ever lived. As it races through his veins, in that moment, Bond has this drug-fuelled revelation: “For the first time in his life, he understood what it meant to be himself - and it was clearer, simpler, more certain than anything he could have imagined or been told. James Bond, newly minted Agent 007, has been captured by the villains and given a shot of heroin. ![]() About four-fifths of the way into his novel, Forever and a Day, author Anthony Horowitz takes a little dig at the world’s most famous spy - as seen in the movies. ![]() ![]() What Moebius does, and what I think what all great artists do, is to show you a window into his soul. That, in short, that serious art can still be fun. ![]() Mark Russell ( Snagglepuss: Exist Stage Left, Second Coming) adds, “ The Incal, and the work of Moebius in general, showed me that you can deal with deeply spiritual or intellectual subjects and still have giant spiders. “He has influenced so many artists in how they conceive of space and of fantasy worlds, that you have to try to understand how Moebius works to write for them effectively.” ![]() ![]() “I love Moebius, but as a writer of comics, Moebius is one of the figures of such huge stature you have to think about even if you don’t like him,” says Kieron Gillen ( Die, Once & Future), one of the current generation of comic creators who’ve lent their support to the new edition. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, it felt more as if the author was more interested in continuing the story with the auxiliary characters that she had made up for the series than really delving into Ursula’s story, which felt somewhat tangential to the story Valentino seemed to REALLY want to tell about the “odd sisters” machinations regarding the various villains in the Disney-verse. About half the book was focused on follow-up to events from the previous book in the series, The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince, which I wasn’t really invested in. ![]() What annoyed me about the book was that it was not a “standalone,” which I really feel like the books in this villain series should be in order to give each villain’s potentially complex backstory and motives their full due. I love Ursula, but, alas, this was not the Ursula novel I desperately wanted it to be.

Michener, is a thick tome spinning an intricate web of fictional stories spread out through the realistic history of a fictional tel 1 called Makor (Hebrew for ‘source’) near Acre, in what is now Israel. In retrospect, I probably should have kept a reading diary, because there are so many things in this book I would like to comment on. I recently finished reading an amazing book about Israel and Jewish history, written over 20 years before I was born. ![]() |
