![]() ![]() Here, too, the hero-ten-year-old Harvey Swick-encounters another world, by having his cry of boredom answered by a yellow-skinned man named Rictus who flies through Harvey's bedroom window and offers to take him to ``Holiday House.'' The boy agrees and, led through a wall of fog, finds himself in a magical place where, during each 24 hours, all four seasons pass (hot, sunny afternoons snowy winter nights, etc.) along with their holidays, including Christmas mornings that find Harvey's most cherished wishes answered beneath the tree. Barker's adult novels (Imajica, 1991, etc.) deal with the play between our world and fabulous alternate realities. Is it penance? Cockiness? A final burst of youth? Whatever the reasons, in recent years, several middle-aging horror authors have written children's books (rarely marketed as such): Whitley Strieber's Wolf of Shadows (1985) Stephen King's The Eyes of the Dragon (1987) Dean Koontz's Oddkins (1988)-and now, from Barker, a ``fable'' about a wish-granting house that may be the weakest of the lot. ![]() ![]() ![]() But also made of win is the friendship that deepens between Jax and Vel the bounty hunter, which I enjoyed so much that I’m not sure I can articulate just HOW MUCH I enjoyed it. I’m impressed with her character growth, because she has come a LONG way since Grimspace, and there’s even a rather painful (but well-done) flashback to illustrate that point. ![]() I absolutely loved the world-building surrounding the Ithorians and Jax’s acclimation to it. I didn’t fixate on any one thing like I did with Wanderlust, which allowed me to really enjoy and appreciate what Aguirre is doing with her world-building and plot. So let’s do that.īut the good thing about THIS book is that the emotional relationship elements (not just the romance) are well-balanced with the overall plot. Am I allowed to quote a reviewer? I always feel like a jerk talking up my own books. Q: What would you like people to know about the story itself?ĪA: Uhm. So we asked Ann five questions about her new book to learn more.ĪA: Doubleblind is the diplomacy book, where Jax has to take off her ass-kicking boots and learn to solve problems with words instead. We know you have inquiring minds we know you want to know. ![]() ![]() WU contributor Ann Aguirre has a book out today–the third book in her rocking Grimspace series, Doubleblind. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, he put it a little more strongly than that.Ī smart story crafted by a real space science guru I called up a mathematician friend to ask what he thought of this argument, but I'm not sure he was totally convinced. This just in: "Jonmaas" on Medium says there is a message of the kind Sagan hypothesizes in Contact. I just noticed that God's mysterious utterance "I AM WHO I AM" occurs in Exodus 3:14.Ĭould this possibly have given Sagan an idea? "Ellie disgracefully waffles in the face of lightweight theological objections to rationalism." I had not come across his letter until I saw it just now, but apparently Sagan told Warner Brothers straight out that he was unhappy with what they'd done to the movie. ![]() ![]() This is the opposite of what Sagan was saying.įor people who haven't seen the famous xkcd cartoon (I hadn't until this morning): So she is forced to tell people that they need Faith. In the movie, she comes back and can't justify her story in any way. She also makes another surprising discovery. When she returns to Earth, she has no immediate way to support her story - but she has been given enough of a clue that she knows how to find objective evidence, which she duly does. In the book, the heroine meets the aliens and is told that they have indisputable proof that the Universe was created by a Higher Power. I was quite shocked when I saw the movie version, and discovered that they had twisted the message 180 degrees. ![]() ![]() ![]() The life and business saga of Bob Iger is chronicled in his incredible book, The Ride of a Lifetime. ![]() Iger also heavily pushed the concept which ultimately became Disney+, as he realized early on that the entertainment industry would eventually abandon scheduled programming and swarm to on-demand content. He also acquired Marvel in 2009 for $4 billion (what a steal), and Lucasfilm for the same price in 2012. Iger quickly purchased Pixar from Steve Jobs for $7 billion, deciding that Disney Animation greatly needed reconfiguration and leadership from the outside. Finally, in 2005, the Disney board named Iger CEO. ![]() In 1996, Disney purchased ABC for $19 billion, which is how Iger entered the Disney empire. Over time, he ascended the ranks of ABC, ultimately achieving CEO/president status in 1994. His journey to success began when he joined ABC in 1974 as a general helper, performing menial labor on television sets for $150 a week. Iger was born in February 1951 his father was a WWII veteran, and his mother a teacher. These are all phenomenal achievements, and they were all completed under one man: Bob Iger, former CEO of the Walt Disney Company. Imagine facilitating the acquisitions of several film giants like Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox. Imagine reviving Disney Animation after its many failures by successfully absorbing Pixar. Imagine being the CEO of the most powerful and diverse entertainment company on the planet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Riveting and suspenseful, arguably the most accessible novel to date from the creator of Love Medicine, The Beet Queen, and The Bingo Palace, Erdrich’s The Round House is a page-turning masterpiece of literary fiction - at once a powerful coming-of-age story, a mystery, and a tender, moving novel of family, history, and culture.

Christie also used material from her fictional creation, spinster Caroline Sheppard, who appeared in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Christie attributed the inspiration for the character to multiple sources, stating that Miss Marple was "the sort of old lady who would have been rather like some of my step grandmother's Ealing cronies – old ladies whom I have met in so many villages where I have gone to stay as a girl".
