![]() ![]() Furthermore, Charles' father is not the one struck down. Here's the main reason for writing my review: MISLEADING DESCRIPTION! The plot summary given is not what the book is about! Charles is accused of murder, or rather he stands to be accused of murder without actually being accused of murder, but only during the later half of the book and it is cleared pretty quickly. ![]() Of course! But again, don't want to give any spoilers. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? He is good at capturing the different accents/dialects, which is always impressive. What about Holter Graham’s performance did you like? What was one of the most memorable moments of Hunting Ground? Probably, because there are a lot of details to remember and I end up going through it again to figure these out. Would you listen to Hunting Ground again? Why? Great story/performance, but misleading descriptio ![]() ![]() ![]() Michael complements Tina and acts as her voice of reason, even if he is a tad naive. She is a character that you are rooting for every step of the way. Tina has everything that I seek in a main character: she’s smart, she’s strong, and she’s flawed. Anderson has created such a rich and riveting novel with a diverse cast of unforgettable characters. Here’s the bottom line: “City of Saints & Thieves” is good. With the help of Michael, Tina searches for the truth behind her mother’s murder and but she also begins to question whether or not she has her sights on the true killer. There she is reunited with Michael, her childhood friend and Mr. When a job opportunity takes her back to the scene of the crime, Tina is determined to finally exact her revenge on Mr. By stealing for the local gang, The Goondas, she is able to scrape by and bide her time.

There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. ![]() Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. ![]() Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.

When the reader reaches the climactic chapter, in which the barons force the Charter on John, the document has jumped off the pedestal on which tradition has placed it and become a living thing. The infamous King John, who signed the Great Charter, moves slowly to center stage against the background stories of his parents, the legendary Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine his brother Richard Lionheart and other great figures of the day, both historical and mythical, including Robin Hood and Thomas à Becket. Marvelous details about daily life abound, while myths and misperceptions are firmly swept away. ![]() ![]() While the first chapters elaborate on how both average folk and elites lived, worked, hunted, married, studied, played and went to church, later chapters get deeper into the meaning of the document itself. ) and Gillingham, professor emeritus of history at the London School of Economics, head each chapter with a passage from the Great Charter and elucidate the daily experience and issues that underlie it. This excellent study is not only about the document itself but also about the context in which it can be fully understood. ![]() Magna Carta is considered a foundation of modern freedoms, yet it is deeply rooted in the unique facts and political situation of 13th-century England. ![]() ![]() ![]() But we're not fans of lame clichés, and we think it's pretty fun to watch Shakespeare go to town on them in this sonnet. ![]() Now, don't get us wrong, we're not anti-love poetry and we can get into the sappy stuff sometimes too. ![]() Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 is a parody of the kind of insincere, sickly sweet love poems that authors have been writing (and a lot of people have been hating) for centuries. By the time that Shakespeare came to write Sonnet 130, the traditional Petrarchan love sonnet was starting to look pretty worn-out.It seemed that poets, even the very best ones, had exhausted all. But, if you think sappy love poems are ridiculous, you're not alone – that's pretty much how Shakespeare felt too, and he spends these fourteen lines ripping that kind of poem apart. If we told you that the love poem we had in mind was over 400 years old, that might make it even worse, right? Old love poems bring to mind flowery language and the kind of unrealistic glop that you could never bring yourself to say with a straight face. So, when we say the words "love poem," what pops into your head? Maybe you've always thought that a love poem had to be sappy, like something you'd find in a Valentine's Day card. What is Sonnet 130 About and Why Should I Care? ![]() ![]() ![]() Earlier this year, Latifa and her parents escaped Afghanistan with the help of a French-based Afghan resistance group. Her voice captures a lost innocence, but also echoes her determination to live in freedom and hope. With painful honesty and clarity Latifa describes the way she watched her world falling apart, in the name of a fanatical interpretation of a faith that she could not comprehend. My Forbidden Face provides a poignant and highly personal account of life under the Taliban regime. ![]() The simplest and most basic freedoms - walking down the street, looking out a window - were no longer hers. Then in September 1996, Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul.įrom that moment, Latifa, just 16 years old became a prisoner in her own home. Her father was in the import/export business and her mother was a doctor. She dreamed of one day of becoming a journalist, she was interested in fashion, movies and friends. Latifa was born into an educated middle-class Afghan family in Kabul in 1980. My Forbidden Face frames a fragment of Afghanistans bloody history through the eyes of its author, Latifa. ![]() ![]() I can see labor strikes happening, but the book definitely attributed that to the communist party. I don't know if that was the author's intent. Now, whether the communist party was active in California during this time period, I honestly can't say, but I felt that communism and the current democratic party were synonymous, as were the capitalists/republicans. They were nothing short of "slave owners." They were portrayed as prejudiced against the poor, were all dressed nicely and used body language to show disdain and contempt for the migrants. The "capitalists" were not helpful at all. The communists were the good guys, who provided tangible help to the migrants by way of food and housing when the migrant camp was flooded. ![]() In the book, it mentioned communism as the precursor to organized labor unions.
