My problem with this was somewhat solved when Grey reveals a secret that creates a rift between Autumn and himself. However, I felt like the romantic relationship between Autumn and Grey moved a bit too fast. ![]() I also like how the author incorporated romance into the plot. ![]() As a heroine, Autumn seemed too dramatic at times, but I felt that it was necessary, given the situation she was in. I found it ironic that the main character’s name was Autumn Winters. The author provided elaborate details and described the setting of the novel very clearly. ![]() They’re led by a mysterious young man who harbors an unearthly secret, and with whom Autumn feels a deep connection.

The real fight to survive comes after everyone else is gone.Ī plague of epic proportion sweeps the globe, leaving less than one percent of the world’s population immune. ![]() ![]() It is a deeply Gnostic view of the world. There is no salvation, only the inevitability of doom from an unfathomable supernatural horror that is utterly indifferent to the fear and panic of human suffering. Uzumaki is a more epic exercise if Lovecraftian cosmic horror where the teenage hero and heroine discover the town they're in is collapsing into an apocalypse of spirals – hair, holes, then bodies, buildings, the landscape itself – that threaten to engulf the whole world. It is the first Junji Ito horror manga the West was exposed to in the 1990s even though he had already created several well-known horror manga series and stories that made him famous in Japan and the rest of Asia, like Tomie, about a demonic girl who keeps coming back from the dead to haunt the men she teased and tormented into killing her. "Uzumaki" means "spiral" in Japanese, and that's as direct a title as you can get. ![]() ![]() ![]() each week with Evie tackling a new challenge. This book is almost perfectly suited to be a series. My middle schoolers are always looking for the next show to get obsessed with and they also love horror. I have never read a book that I wanted to become a TV series so badly. It's scary, there are moments where we aren't sure if Evie will be able to get past what scares her, but it is also full of so many acts of bravery (both physical and mental) that I know will inspire kids to believe they can do the hard things.Īs a small addition. Senf completely nails the balance on this story and it perfectly hits that middle grade horror note. ![]() I am deeply in love with this strange, beautiful, terrifying, hopeful book.Įvie lives in a haunted town, her house has burnt down, her parents are missing and considered dead, and now her Aunt has taken a huge risk and been taken into an alternate realm and it's up to Ecie to face the darkness, face her fears and save her Aunt. Why I love this book: Have you ever read a book that you loved so much that you have a hard time actually forming sentances? Maybe that's just me. ![]() ![]() Refuting racist explanations for presumed differences in intelligence or technological capability and eschewing a Eurocentric worldview, he argues persuasively that accidental differences in geography and environment, combined with centuries of conquest, genocide and epidemics, shaped the disparate populations of today's world. ![]() Using molecular biological studies, Diamond, a professor at UCLA Medical School, illuminates why Eurasian germs spreading animal-derived diseases proved so devastating to indigenous societies on other continents. As a result, European conquerors and their colonizing descendants, bringing guns, cavalry and infectious diseases, overwhelmed the native peoples of North and South America, Africa and Australia. Such bureaucracies, Diamond maintains, were essential to organizing wars of conquest moreover, farming societies were able to support full-time craft specialists who developed technical innovations and steel weapons. ![]() Dense, agriculture-based populations, unlike relatively egalitarian hunter-gatherers, bred chiefs, kings and bureaucratic ""kleptocracies"" that transferred wealth from commoners to upper classes. In a boldly ambitious analysis of history's broad patterns, evolutionary biologist Diamond (The Third Chimpanzee) identifies food production as a key to the glaring inequalities of wealth and power in the modern world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Crew knows he stuffed up and he still regrets his decision to leave, because he’s never stopped loving Julia, even the whole time she was married to his brother. ![]() It was actually Crew and Julia that were a couple first – they met as teenagers and fell in love quickly, but when Crew travelled away to pursue a fighting career, he left Julia behind without a word and she eventually fell for his brother.

Image taken from (by David Mazzucchelli)Īs such, the main story line comes in and out of focus, making it more of a challenge for the reader, but in many regards, this non-linear storytelling speaks far more clearly to the human experience than something less complex would. ![]() At times, the story is narrated by his unborn twin brother Ignazio, who haunts Asterio, and even visits him in Apogee.
