The female characters are numerous and as well developed as their male counterparts. Beyond the writing style, there is still a lot to like about the novel. I love the control that Chbosky exercises: he demonstrates Charlie’s deteriorating mental health to the reader simply by having him see sadness wherever he goes. The writing here is so rhythmic that it’s almost hypnotic. Little kids who look tired.” “It all felt very unsettling” to him. Young girls with blue eye shadow and awkward jaws. At one point, Charlie starts going to the mall simply to try and figure out why people go there. ![]() What makes Chbosky’s stream of consciousness style more beautiful than that used in Suicidal Tendencies’ hardcore punk song “Institutionalised”, for example, is the lyrical, philosophical nature of the prose. Along the way, Chbosky intelligently explores stock YA themes such as mental health, substance abuse and sexuality, whilst simultaneously reminding the reader about how exciting it is to be young and idealistic. These letters catalogue Charlie’s attempts to “participate”, as he wanders wide eyed through a series of house parties and Rocky Horror Picture Show productions with his new, older friends. ![]() ![]() The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is narrated by Charlie, the titular ‘wallflower’, in a series of letters that he writes to a stranger, beginning the night before he starts his freshman year of high school in 1991. ![]() ![]() Your heart grows lighter.The burden of your sorrow becomes my own. Always, mon amour.His molten gaze trapped her blue one and held her enthralled. He tipped her chin up so that she met the brilliance of his silver gaze. ![]() She needed him, his comfort,his support under her terrible weight of guilt and love and loss.Īlways,for all eternity, he answered instantly,without hesitation, his eyes hot mercury. ![]() Your hero saved the girl, walks among humans, and converses with a fool.That alone should bring a smile to your face.Do not weep for what we cannot change.We will make certain that this human with us comes to no harm.Īre you my hero,then? There were tears in her voice, in her mind, like an iridescent prism. ![]() The night is especially beautiful, mon petit amour. “Gregori brought Savannah's hand to the warmth of his mouth,his breath heating the pulse beating in her wrist. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only way that Cain can avoid this new threat is to understand it and that means meeting it head on. Overseeing the pacification of a feral river world seems like the ideal posting for Cain then but something deadly is stirring on one of the many islands and is about to make a relatively simple posting a lot more complicated for the erstwhile Commissar. What Cain isn’t so well known for though is the fact that he’s the biggest coward in the Commissariat and will do anything to stay out of the firing line. ![]() ‘Dead in the Water’ proved to be more of the same but I still had the same old issues with the story, as well as a brand new one.Ĭommissar Ciaphas Cain is a renowned hero of the Imperium an officer who has faced down the worst that the xenos races and creatures from the warp have thrown at him. ![]() I really should look at reviewing more audio books for the blog as the Black Library audio books have been a great way to take the edge off a commute that’s never pleasant. I really enjoy the setting itself though so always seem to find myself coming back for more this time for Ciaphas Cain’s debut in audio book format. A couple of the footnotes make me laugh here and there but, on the whole, I end up feeling like I’m the only guy in the room who doesn’t get the joke (and I’ve been to a few parties like that in real life). ![]() I don’t know if it’s because I don’t get the humour or if it’s simply because I haven’t got onto the good stuff yet the bottom line is that I just don’t get why people love roguish Commissar Ciaphas Cain so much. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Smitten by Oz-mania, they sent impassioned pleas to the author for more stories about Oz. came not from author or illustrator, but from Baum’s young readers. In Through the Looking Glass by Selma Lanes we read that after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, “The idea of a continuing series of Oz books. Scarcely a page fails to quiver with excitement, magic and adventure.”īaum was sort of the victim of his own success. Not only does it bring Dorothy back to Oz on her second visit, but it introduces Dorothy to Ozma, relates Ozma’s first important adventure, and introduces for the first time such famous Oz characters as Tik-Tok, the mechanical man, Billina the hen, the Hungry Tiger, and-The Nome King! Most of the adventures in this book take place outside Oz, in the Land of Ev and the Nome Kingdom. ![]() Here it is: “Few of the Oz books are as crowded with exciting Oz happenings as this one. Now I had to break out the handy dandy Who’s Who In Oz by Jack Snow (circa 1988) for the plot summary. ![]() ![]() ![]() Read at the season of the Christian festival, its pure, ennobling influence is felt to be stronger and sweeter than ever. Read at any season of the year, this genial story never fails to quicken the impulses of tender and thoughtful charity. ![]() ![]() To follow old Scrooge through the ordeal of loving discipline whereby the ghosts arouse his heart is to be warmed in every fibre of mind and body with the gentle, bountiful, ardent, affectionate Christmas glow. There is not, in all literature, a book more thoroughly saturated with the spirit of its subject than Dickens’s “Christmas Carol,” and there is no book about Christmas that can be counted its peer. ![]() |
