His new neighborhood, Homeland-largely White, built on racial covenants-is not where he is "supposed" to live. With sardonic wit, Jackson describes his struggle to make a home in the city that had just been convulsed by the uprising that followed the murder of Freddie Gray. It would all be unremarkable but for the fact that he had grown up in West Baltimore and now found himself teaching at Johns Hopkins, whose vexed relationship to its neighborhood, to the city and its history, provides fodder for this captivating memoir in essays. In 2016, Lawrence Jackson accepted a new job in Baltimore, searched for schools for his sons, and bought a house. ![]() A stirring consideration of homeownership, fatherhood, race, faith, and the history of an American city. ![]() ![]() However, at the request (more like cajoling) of Lucius’s wife, Gelina, he agrees to wait until after the funeral to execute his plan. He plans to kill every slave in the household to set an example for other slaves in the area who may get the same idea. ![]() Crassus believes he already knows who killed his cousin – two runaway slaves who were inspired to join Spartacus in his slave revolt. In Arms of Nemesis, Marcus Crassus – the richest man in Rome – hires Gordianus to solve the murder of his cousin, Lucius Licinius, at his villa at Baiae. ![]() ![]() Now, I definitely want to go back and read more. It’s not the same period I write in, so I was not sure if I wanted to invest myself in the series. It is set in the late Republic, the time of Cicero, Pompey, and Crassus. It appears you don’t necessarily have to read the series in order. I want to go back and read the first one – not because I think I missed anything from not having read it first but because I enjoyed this one so much. This is the first novel I’ve read in the Roma sub Rosa series (featuring Gordianus the Finder), though the second in the series. In writing a novel versus short story, Saylor was able to do more to develop the characters and ratchet up the tension. It’s interesting how that works sometimes. I guess this means for me, the characters and stories work better as a novel than short stories. I remember reading a collection of short stories around Gordianus the Finder and thinking it was pretty good. ![]() I read this as part of my online book club on Goodreads. ![]() ![]() Of course, it's not a one-woman show for Bea, who is joined on the bill by more stars than a Jerry Lewis telethon. Those who shamble through mall bookstores eager to devour a steaming platterful of whatever the schlockmeister is serving up this week might not remember Bea Arthur but, by gum, they remember Maude. reminded Rosie of Beatrice Arthur, who played Maude on the old TV sitcom."īut then, King's always thinking of his fans. When Rosie escapes her abusive husband, she finds refuge at a women's shelter, the director of which ". Not only does he promote just like Madison Avenue, he also saves work for the producers of the inevitable television miniseries by casting it for them. The need for sensitivity in presenting such a scene is lost on King, who inserts a commercial for his own novel "Misery" in the midst of Rosie's pain and fear. ![]() ![]() In a brutal prologue set nine years before the novel's main action, Rosie Daniels is beaten so severely by her husband that she miscarries. Brand names are so pervasive that he must have sold advertising space. King seems bent on hiding a horrific and potentially compelling story within his usual farrago of verbiage and product placement. What is "Rose Madder" about? It hardly matters. ![]() I believe this because it's impossible to imagine King writing anything worse. ![]() I believe "Rose Madder" marks the end of the steep decline in Stephen King's fiction that began the better part of a decade ago. "Rose Madder" by Stephen King Viking, $25.95 ![]() ![]() ![]() The book echoes the same adventure-driven narrative of Percy Jackson and the Olympians but with its own Roman twist. Originality: John and Sarah’s adventures resemble the conventional narrative arc of any action novel-a tasked mission that determines the players’ outcomes. ![]() With limited vocabulary and simple sentences, Gartner’s narrative voice complements the book’s brisk pacing and heightens its unending action. Cliches are coupled with elegant metaphors, creating a dichotomy between innocence and adulthood. Prose/Style: Written through the voices of young narrators, Gartner manages to convey a childlike essence without losing any artistic maturity. Amidst the venatores, gladiators, and Romans lingers a coming-of-age story about an ordinary girl. The motif of time reappears throughout the novel as a period of measurement, age, and growth. At first, the book appears to capture an adventure in time, yet it results in a journey from adolescence. Plot: In Sol Invictus, Gartner constructs a cyclical narrative, where the present absorbs the past. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, she telegraphs her punches: the new planet may astonish the characters, but it won't surprise the reader. ![]() She conveys a real sense of social threat the reader cares about the group's small victories over the mean streets. ![]() Hughes, a facile, experienced writer, knows how to keep a story moving.

Always, when injury threatens, the computer pulls them back-until the last time, when they discover that they have actually emigrated to another part of the galaxy. Suddenly, there comes an invitation to the Game: shared computer-induced experiences in a wild, virgin wilderness. Thrown together by a computer, they forge a fortress from an abandoned warehouse and learn to live with one another, avoiding the streets' drugs and hedonism.

Tuvok causally destroying someone's brain seemed odd.Ĭhakatoy's role also was larger in this book. ![]() ![]() *boom, Spock appears 'Mind meld anyone?'* Though there his mind melds, many of which were, if I recall correctly, without consent, but weren't brain destroying. I know Spock seemed to do them at a drop of a hat. I had some vague recollection that Tuvok was reluctant to do mind melds, or maybe I'm thinking of a different Vulcan. Tuvok performed an invasive mind meld that literally destroyed a guy's brain pathways. There was an incident during a prison break that seemed off. I'd say he continued to act within the characterization that I had come to expect, except he didn't really. Tuvok's time on the screen, or, um, page, was slightly more than in the fist book. As expected (at least in terms of people from the show). Of the Voyager crew from the tv show, Janeway still keeps much of the stage for herself. I just know that I started it, and shortly thereafter I looked down and saw that I was at 47% complete (as opposed to the current book I'm read, the third in the series, which is only at 41% at the moment and feels like it's the size of three of the second books combined). ![]() I think it was book length, but I'm not really certain. The first one seemed closer to 400 than 200, but could have been anywhere between 200 and 800 pages in length. I really wish I knew how many pages these books contained. ![]() |
