Every word Elliott breathed to Philby was transmitted back to Moscow - and not just Elliott's words, for in America, Philby had made another powerful friend: James Jesus Angleton, the crafty, paranoid head of CIA counterintelligence. It was madness for one to think the other might be a communist spy, bent on subverting Western values and the power of the free world.īut Philby was secretly betraying his friend. ![]() ![]() The two men had gone to the same schools, belonged to the same exclusive clubs, grown close through the crucible of wartime intelligence work and long nights of drink and revelry.

" Has everything you'd want in a retelling of a classic fairy tale." - Jodi Picoult In a lush, contemporary fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Brigid Kemmerer gives readers another compulsively readable romance perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wang returned to the United States to attend Swarthmore College. After several years in the US, Wang and her mother emigrated to Canada, in anticipation of better prospects, and her father followed sometime thereafter. Wang's early talent for writing was mistaken as plagiarism by an elementary school teacher, prompting her to deliberately hide her abilities throughout much of her primary education. After school, Wang worked alongside her mother in clothing sweatshops and a sushi processing plant. ![]() Unable to speak English or Cantonese, Wang was initially placed in a special-needs classroom, but was returned to mainstream instruction after she was observed teaching herself to read English through picture books. 124 in Chinatown, but few of her classmates and teachers spoke Mandarin Chinese, thus isolating her even within a seemingly familiar community. After their temporary visas expired, the Wang family remained in the United States as undocumented immigrants in Brooklyn. Wang's father fled China to the United States when she was five Wang and her mother followed two years later in 1994. Wang's mother was a professor of mathematics, while Wang's father was a professor of English and critic of the government, which led to the family being persecuted. Qian Wang was born in Shijiazhuang, China to academic parents. Qian Julie Wang ( Chinese: 王乾) is a Chinese-American writer and civil rights lawyer. ![]() ![]() That said, this was not slow paced at all for me. At one point, I thought I had the ending figured out, and I was partially right, but I still found it to be very entertaining and not predictable in the least. ![]() Others did not like the ending (don’t worry, I’m not going to spoil anything).įor me, I was intrigued by the first paragraph and hooked by page two. Goodreads gives this book a high 3 star rating, but before reviewing, I thought I’d read some of the more disappointed reviewers’ concerns to see where it fell short.Įvery book is not for everyone and it appears that some people found the book slow paced, overly detailed, or did not enjoy the writing style. I enjoyed it so much that halfway through, I stopped to order December Park, The Narrows, Little Girls, and The Floating Staircase. ![]() ![]() This might be the most fun I’ve had reading a book since my Christopher Pike/R.L. ![]() ![]() “Like one gives a child.” Or a brother.īeneath her fingertips, he went still as death. “Shall I kiss you on the cheek?”Īccepting his feeble answer, she put her lips to his nose. She sought purchase with her fingers going round his upper arms. And in regard to him, she’d always been a woman of desire. For if anything, she was a woman of action. One she’d waited for nearly half her life. She heard it as a warning, but took it as an appeal. And she slanted her head to one side, her gaze fastened on his, her mouth a heartbeat away from his. She lifted on her toes, for he was so tall. Instead, he stood immobile as she stepped against him. ![]() Because he blinked and yet he did not pull away, she had the control. She was a fool to ask.īut in her curiosity, she knew power. “How would you kiss a woman you loved?” Oh, yes. ![]() ![]() In a lot of ways, reading this reminds me of the old “Murder Can Be Fun” fanzine, which always seemed just a bit smarter than its subject matter as well. ![]() Drimmer appears to be a tad more erudite than the average carnival barker. Of course, freak shows have claimed for generations to be “educational as well as entertaining,” but Mr. ![]() Yet, the author, Frederick Drimmer, just seems to be a bit ahead of them at every step, and actually seems to want to infuse his work with a little bit more class. ![]() In general, this book is what it appears to be, a highly exploitive array of stories about dead bodies and freaks (the dead bodies of freaks), written to titillate a semi-literate audience who today would probably get their jollies on the so-called “History” channel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, this decision is what cost him his life. ![]() He even created a statement dress for Katniss to wear and portray her rebellion before she entered the arena. ![]() Like Katniss, Cinna was never afraid to speak out against the Capitol. We also lose Cinna, one of the most beloved characters of the first novel. He is shocked to hear of Katniss and Peeta’s (fake) engagement and pregnancy and is pretty much helpless to everything going on inside of the games. Gale returns to work in the mines after being brutally beaten for his alliance with Katniss. Worse still, we begin to see Katniss lose some of her only friends outside of the games. So to pull a 180 and claim that in honor of the 75th Hunger Games, The Quarter Quell would bring back past victors to compete for their lives once again was actually pretty genius. And with two young adults out-smarting a government system, it was only inevitable that the government would have to get smarter as well. We all know Katniss and Peeta cheated their way to a joint-win in the first novel. However, I believe this story challenged reader’s minds exactly as the first book did. It made people wonder if all goes wrong, is this how bad things could become? So when Catching Fire invited us into another Hunger Games match, it is understandable why readers were disappointed. It strayed away from the fantasy realms that were popular in the 2000s and invited us into post-apocalyptic America. As a first novel, Hunger Games had already pushed the envelope. ![]() ![]() 'Reminds me of all that I love in the fantasy genre. ![]() 'A duly exciting start to the series' - Publishers Weekly 'Visceral, heart-breaking and unputdownable' - Jay Kristoff It's everything I've come to expect from a John Gwynne book' - Robin Hobb The well-realised characters move against a backdrop of a world stunning in its immensity.
