![]() I will definitely be reading the rest of this series. Does the fact that I counted them give that away? But that’s a tiny thing to complain about. ![]() Who ever says “puce?” It really stood out to me and got on my nerves. My biggest complaint? The color puce is mentioned five times in the book. But once I found out, it all made sense and fit together. I never had any idea what was going on until the very end. He fervently believes in Reformation, but he can’t see that the road Cromwell is taking isn’t necessarily in the best interests of the country. ![]() He’s a jaded, acerbic, lonely, humpback lawyer who is still somewhat naive. I don’t know how Sansom did it, but his descriptions left me feeling that I had just visited a cold, snowy, monastery on the coast, where the monks live a little too well and know more than they are telling. What I do know is that every time I picked this book back up, I was immediately transported to sixteenth-century England. I can’t claim to know much about the period, so I don’t know how accurate it is. ![]() Shardlake needs to find the killer–and try to convince the abbot to close the monastery. As he brings Reformation to England, Cromwell is trying to subtly force monasteries to “voluntarily” dissolve, and the man he sent to the monastery in Scarnsea has been killed. ![]() Vicar General Thomas Cromwell is sending his man, Matthew Shardlake, to investigate a brutal murder. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() more In the end, this really just was not my cup of tea. flash backs, that way my stomach would have been more able to handle it all and it would have taken a hell of a less time to struggle through it.I liked Bloodraven, but this one didn't fulfil expectations. ![]() the abuse was put through the book by using e.g. Now it felt more like the author wanted to give us the feel of a happy end but didn't really think it important.I'd like the book a lot more if the second part was put central and e.g. After all the abuse and stuff, I expected a long emotional way and a big development in their relationship as the story continues. Review 1: The fact that i didn't like it has nothing to do with the first part.I admit it was disturbing, but in his genre it can be considered as quite good.But the second part is just disappointing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Joshua from Twin Cities, MnThe lyrics also parallel the nursery rhyme that was the basis for the Agatha Christie murder mystery also titled Ten Little Indians.Adam from West Palm Beach, FlLittle Games is a really good album, but man, what an ill-advised song choice for a Yardbirds track, though.Please if you think it is please show me the link or where you arrived at that conclusion. go to youtube and put in 10 Little Indians Bible and it helps you memorize the books.nothing about the commandments. Duke from Fresno, CaRegarding Colts comment-the song is not about the Ten Commandments BUT it is used to help remember the Books of the Bible.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind One took a liking to a picture of himself ![]() One little Indian forgot to say his prayers One told a lie about another's best friend ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So far, a typical horror scenario, and when Johnson speaks, over the phone from her home in Oxford, she tells me of her love of horror films: “I grew up on ‘Hallowe’en’,” she says, and enthusiastically reels off a list of horror classics-“The Exorcist”, “Night of the Living Dead”, “Nightmare on Elm Street”-which influenced her. When they arrive at the remote, decaying Settle House, it is clear that the sisters are isolated, seemingly far from civilization and trapped in a place where strange, inexplicable things soon start to happen. ![]() It seems that they are fleeing their home in Oxford after something undisclosed but awful happened at the girls’ school. July narrates as she and her older sister September are driven by their mother, Sheela, to a rental house somewhere on the North Yorkshire coast. ![]() My sister is waiting for me.” So begins Daisy Johnson’s extraordinary second novel, Sisters, a short, sharp virtuoso tale of literary horror with a stop-you-in-your-tracks ending that casts the entire novel in a different light.

Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. ![]() Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with. Book Synopsis Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Charged with keeping the peace with local tribes, a hero of the French and Indian War is determined to stay free of romantic entanglement-until he meets a frontier maiden who just might be able to change his mind.

The crew faced icebergs, enormous swells, and gale-force winds. ![]() He and a five-person crew sailed their largest lifeboat, the James Caird, 800 miles over the planet’s roughest sea to the island of South Georgia. After they made it to tiny, uninhabited Elephant Island in spring 1916, Shackleton made the decision to go for help.

The Boudicca, it said, which Lan only knew because the ferryman had bragged it up all the way from Morrow-up-Marsh where he’d taken her on. When they saw her, one of the kids dropped a ladder and steadied it for her while another jotted down the name painted on the side of the ferry beneath the picture of the red-haired siren with her sword raised high over a heap of decapitated corpses. They had bows and buckets of smouldering pitch beside them, but it had rained most of the morning and the dead were too wet to burn, so they were using guns instead, showing off the wealth of a town that could afford to waste bullets on Eaters. There were kids up on the wall, taking shots at Eaters and smoking. They hadn’t seen many on the drive, but there were always Eaters at the towns and this one was pretty big, as towns went these days. Lan got out, moving carefully along the van’s armored roof and trying not to look at the Eaters clambering below her. ![]() He just rolled up to the docking gate, opened up the hatch and told her to get out. ![]() T he ferryman had six more fares in the back of his van and a long way yet to drive, so he didn’t stop at town. ![]() |
