Will-they-won’t-they tension simmers in a nostalgic landscape as the friends attempt to hold time in stillness. For the remainder of the novel, Harriet must grapple with the reality of change, as well as acknowledge that her feelings are valid. But when she arrives in Maine, she is dealt two blows: Her ex is there, and this will be their last ever trip to the cottage. The plot is classic exes-to-lovers, but the varied temporal planes strap readers in for a complex emotional journey that belies any back cover summary.įrom the beginning, Harriet is an easy character to latch onto, attempting to build a new “happy place” in a life post-Wyn. “Happy Place” traces the relationship between Harriet and Wyn across multiple timelines, detailing their college romance, derailed engagement and subsequent reunion at a cottage in Maine with their longtime friends - who still don’t know they’ve broken up. In her latest novel “Happy Place,” released April 25, Henry continues to sculpt a sunny world of honest love and easy endings, but the journey to get there is much more poignant and “slow-release hot.” Her fiction borders on cheesy, but it’s blissfully self-aware. Emily Henry is the reigning sovereign of the rom-com.įrom “Book Lovers” to “Beach Read,” Henry toys with common tropes, but she does so with a twist. The second one I got my hands on as soon as possible and thought "aight. I remember picking up the first novel in this trilogy and thinking "whoa, that was. But the authors played the conclusion to this trilogy way, way too safe. I think people that are huge fans of the standard paranormal YA will enjoy this. Only half decent characters were Michael, Tegan and Faith (hated that Faith was centuries old yet for 98yrs had sex with no-one because she was so in love with some other guy - get fucking real)!Īll in all, rubbish but I've read worse. Evul characters are evul because of daddy issues - so fucking tropey. Cheesy, forgettable and cringey romance. Why can't he get a girl his own age? He must like them young. What's a centuries old guy lusting after an inexperienced teenage girl for? The sleazy perv. She didn't think or say anything remotely interesting or original. Dawn (the MC) was a Mary Sue speshul snowflake - she turns out to be a previously unheard of dhampire, and some long lost descendant of a super old vampire family. I was rolling my eyes at their cheesy declarations and speeches. Humans are weak and need an unremarkable boring teenager to defend them blah blah blah. Vampires need blood, they be bastards to humans. I couldn't be bothered writing a proper review. While it is important to finish what you started, it's equally important not to fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy. It also defies the assertion that you can't go home again. This story is about thinking outside the box with the classic children's moral "it's okay to be different." Rufus decides to do something atypical for his species and discovers he has an aptitude for it, which is gentle encourage for young readers to try new things that catch their interest even if it is considered unusual for their ethnic group/gender/culture/socioeconomic class. Eventually, Rufus discovers he misses the nighttime world and returns to being nocturnal. Wounded, he lands in the yard of a famous butterfly collector who nurses him back to health and befriends him. Unfortunately, the sight of a multicolored bat flying around during the day is a cause for alarm, and people shoot at him. His experience of color instantly makes him a daytime convert, and he paints himself multiple colors with a discarded painter's palette. Intrigued, he decides to stay awake and see the daytime world. When a bat named Rufus strays into a drive-in movie theater, he is introduced to the world of color. After Rufus experiences color for the first time, he decides to stay awake during the day. These unsettling moments have become par for the course in a modern horror thriller. Near the end of the film, during a life-and-death tussle, one character sinks his teeth into the jugular of his attacker and emerges looking like a vampire with unusually sloppy table manners. A young man, also held underground in shackles, is discovered covered with squirming rats that, when dispersed by a gunshot, reveal his greedily picked-over body. A woman found shackled in the bowels of New York and cooked alive by scalding steam resembles a giant oozing radish. 'Bone Collector': A Taxi Ride to Torture Provokes a Chase! Since movies keep pushing the envelope of the acceptably gruesome, even the nastiest sights glimpsed in Phillip Noyce's preposterous thriller "Bone Collector" should strike jaded moviegoers (those who relished "Seven," for 'Bone Collector': A Taxi Ride to Torture Provokes a Chase! Since movies keep pushing the envelope of the acceptably gruesome, even the nastiest sights glimpsed in Phillip Noyce's preposterous thriller "Bone Collector" should strike jaded moviegoers (those who relished "Seven," for instance) as ho-hum shocks. But there are also too many elements still held my attention. I found the pace a little slow and the way of story -telling distracted my concentration.

Snowden said he released documents on a program called PRISM to show the public the extent of the illegality. The bulk interception of Americans’ data broke US law, but the NSA still intercepts foreigners’ data globally. Called STELLARWIND, its goal was to collect, analyse, and store all digital data from around the world. Snowden says in his memoir, Permanent Record, that he was motivated by the NSA’s decision to build the most extensive global mass surveillance system ever devised. He subsequently copied huge amounts of highly sensitive information, which he took with him when he left the NSA in 2013, aged twenty-nine, to become the most important whistleblower in intelligence agency history. His bosses readily agreed to let him build and run a comprehensive backup system. After realising that the vast electronic surveillance organisation often failed to backup its advanced computerised systems properly, Snowden offered a solution. Edward Snowden was a model employee of the National Security Agency. |
