Lost on a mountain in maine book6/9/2023 It was these prayers, Donn's courage and faith, his Boy Scout training and his "will to live" that brought him through this ordeal.Īfter a quick recovery from malnutrition and hundreds of scrapes, cuts, and insect bites, Donn was celebrated with a huge parade in Millinocket. Meanwhile, the entire state prayed for him while hundreds of brave citizens and blood hounds searched the mountain. He spent nine long days and nights in that rugged wilderness, all alone except the wildlife he encountered as he tried to find his way out. A dark storm enveloped the peak of the mile-high mountain called Katahdin, and the boy quickly lost his way. In 1939 twelve year-old Donn Fendler was hiking to the Summit of Maine's highest mountain when he became separated from his family.

Immediately you'll be hit by references to everything from Blackhawk to Mazinger Z, and that's the real fun of the series. Enter Precinct 10, led by the '40s hero, Jetman. All of the "science heroes" live in their own secluded city, Neopolis, and a city filled with superhuman threats requires a police force that is also superhuman. It takes place in a world extrapolated from the pulp heroes of the 1940s, with "science" added generously in front of other words. Top 10 is a brilliant fusion of the police procedural and the superhero team. I also suggest that you get both trades, since the twelve original issues tell a full story.) They're all worth getting, in my opinion, but this original series is most certainly the best. Alan Moore wrote all but the last, which was written by Paul DiFilippo. There's also a graphic novel, The Forty-Niners, and two follow-up mini-series, Smax and Beyond the Farthest Precinct. (This review is for the original twelve issues of Top 10, collected in two trades. While these are all brilliant books that belong in the libraries of every comic book reader, I'm here to talk about a slightly lesser-known work that may just be Moore's best: Top Ten, from America's Best Comics. Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. When I say "Alan Moore," a few titles might jump to mind.

He sees through Maomao’s façade and makes her a lady-in-waiting to none other than the Emperor’s favorite consort… so she can taste the lady’s food for poison! At her lady’s side, Maomao starts to learn about everything that goes on in the rear palace-not all of it seemly. With Consort Gyokuyou pregnant, threats seem to lurk in every corner of the rear palace. That’s her secret, until she encounters a resident of the palace at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch, Jinshi. Though she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick wit, a sharp mind, and an extensive knowledge of medicine. Maomao, an unassuming girl raised in an unassuming town by her apothecary father, never imagined the rear palace would have anything to do with her-until she was kidnapped and sold into service there. Descriptions Edit Descriptions In the East is a land ruled by an emperor, whose consorts and serving women live in a sprawling complex known as the hougong, the rear palace.

Persepolis 26/8/2023 Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging.įinding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Here is the continuation of her fascinating story. In Persepolis, heralded by the Los Angeles Times as “one of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day,” Marjane Satrapi dazzled us with her heartrending memoir-in-comic-strips about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Halo book series alexandra adornetto6/8/2023 I found it very disturbing that I read over 300+ pages of an angel in a human body knowing her mission, and all I read about was Xavier and how perfect he is and how complete he makes Bethany feel. Bethany, the main character, is an angel sent down from Heaven with two other angels (Ivy, a seraphim and Gabriel, the archangel) to Venus Cove to help bring prosperity back to the town and basically keep the evil out. I read this entire book and felt a little cheated. It was a fresh idea and I applaud Adornetto on her research and tenacity to write such a book. We've had a deal of fallen angels to come into the YA world as of late, but nothing about actual angels sent down from Heaven that have not fallen. It was a refreshing read that had a lot of promise to it.

There is a modern feel to it in that the psychology of the characters, even down to their irrational beliefs, determines their actions and their outcomes. The greatness of this novel is in its complexity. But one strives to be moral, and the other flouts morality. Each had nothing but his or her intelligence to educate and polish them. Each was exposed to adults who abused them. No family to care for them as children, no formal education, nothing to set them up in life. The author tells the tale of two remarkable people who began life with the worst sort of luck. With this beautiful production, I've been given a chance to listen to it again and again and delve deeply into the complexities of this story. Listen again & again to unravel layers of mysteryĪrmadale has always been one of my favorite novels. |
