Evangelists of human progress meet their opposite in Matthew White's epic examination of history's one hundred most violent events, or, in White's piquant phrasing, "the numbers that people want to argue about." Reaching back to 480 BCE's second Persian War, White moves chronologically through history to this century's war in the Congo and devotes chapters to each event, where he surrounds hard facts (time and place) and succinct takeaways (who usually gets the blame?) with lively military, social, and political histories. A compulsively readable and utterly original account of world history―from an atrocitologist’s point of view. ![]() ![]() ![]() The three films collected in this box set – two early Seventies ‘lost films’ and a classic plague panic thriller – show there’s more to the legendary director than simply gut-munching ghouls. Romero passed away in July, the film world didn’t just lose its beloved ‘King of Zombies’, but also a groundbreaking and fearless innovator who inspired not only generations of genre directors, but also experimental and guerilla filmmakers for whom he laid down the template.

The hardest part is not so much the days right after being free from the hospital, but rather having survived for quite some time. She is only allowed to be away from the hospital for 100 days. When she is out of the hospital, she goes on a solo road trip with her dog across the United States, visiting many people who made meaningful contact with her.

Now D must measure his sword against these grotesque and deadly freaks!

For this, he is ready to make a deal with any devil. Vengeance is the only thing on Shiva’s mind and he will not stop at any cost. ![]() From there, the story picks up and Shiva and Sati both start their journey from Swadweep to Kashi and several other kingdoms, with just one motto in mind- to find the evil Naga who killed Shiva’s best friend Brahaspati. Starting over from where Sati was left under attack by a Naga, the episode turns into a dramatic action sequence. The first book ended on a rather surprising note and I must warn you, the second book ends on a shocking one. But the biggest surprise came when Amish announced that the rights for Meluha’s English adaptation have been bought by an American director! Woah, now that’s some big piece of news- a Hollywood movie. Much has been said and discussed about the book all over the world. The Shiva trilogy has become so popular that Business World went on to say that “ Amish… is well on his way to becoming the Paulo Coelho of the east”. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Raven Cycle and The Dreamers Trilogy were beautiful stories with characters, I’ll never forger and grateful to have spent time with. Declan has grown up as the responsible son, the responsible brother-only to find. Niall and Mór escaped their homeland for a new start, and lost themselves in what they found. The majestic conclusion to Maggie Stiefvaters Dreamer Trilogy. I feel like that Maggie left a little bit open that if she wanted to pick up again with Blue and Gansey she could but if she doesn’t.

I’m glad that this series existed because Ronan was one of my favorite characters from the Raven Cycles and I’m happy that he has got the closure he needed. It’s why all of them are in the state that they were in are catching up with the story. It’s why Ronan is asleep and Declan is frantic. That’s why Hennessey destroyed the Ley line. So much time of this novel was spent on their healing journey and their past that when it came time to save the world it was a little jarring. I love that these characters who have been through so much that they got the healing they needed and will be able to move on with their lives in a more healthy way. I was definitely more invested in the emotional journey of Ronan, Declan, Matthew, Jordan, Hennessey and even Carmen then I was in whatever mission they were supposed to be on. I’m glad they were able to get their lives together but as I reading this, I sort of forgot that they were trying to stop the apocalypse from happening. ![]() After finishing the Dreamer’s Trilogy, I think I liked The Raven Cycle a little bit better. ![]() |
