![]() You just have to remember to suspend your belief from time to time. I mean, it’s still an overtly glamourous, ridiculously premised spy thriller so it’s never going to win any literary awards but it’s also super fast paced, exciting voyerism. ![]() The whole narrative flowed better, there was more content, the characters were more fleshed out. I’ll start with a nice positive – this book was far more coherent than the first one (Codename: Villanelle). The two women are locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with Eve edging ever closer to Villanelle and the secretive organisation that she works for – only to find out the extent to which she’s been manipulated. In No Tomorrow, the main characters remain as in the first book Eve Polastri (MI6 agent) and Oxana Vorontsova (Villanelle, sociopath and assassin). To be honest, by the time I’d finished this book the show had deviated so utterly from the text that I wasn’t even sure if it had taken the book into account, was going to do so in the next series or if Pheobe Waller Bridge was just forging ahead with her own storylines from now on. No, you haven’t read this review before – this is the second instalment of the novels that the Killing Eve TV show was based on. ![]() ![]() Similar to: Something by John Le Carre or Ian FlemingĬould be enjoyed by: People who liked book one ![]()

![]() Message me if you’re interested! I’d be thrilled to give you more details, I’m very passionate about this project. A mother and daughter embark on an epic, cross-Pennsylvania journey to reunite. Plot: There’s kissing! Betrayal! Brutality and redemption. For those who can’t, there’s the old city - ‘grounder’ town, a series of islands between the towers. For those who can afford it, the modern city survives in connected mega-structures functioning as self-sustaining gated communities. Rising oceans, turbulent storms, and frequent floods are turning the ground of the city back into the swamp it once was. Setting: Post world war three Philadelphia in the year 2070. Paul Louise-Julie je ernoský autor, ktorý pred niekokými rokmi vytvoril komiksovú space operu Yohancé.Po tom, o bol svedkom niekokých rasistických reakcií na rolu Johna Boyegu v Star Wars, rozhodol sa vytvori vlastný príbeh silno inpirovaný starovekou africkou kultúrou. I’m looking for an artist interested in partnering up to create an illustrated serial - self-published, both in zine form and online - probably not much money in our future, sorry, but you never know! I’d like to find someone enthusiastic about overgrown urban landscapes and diversity in science fiction. ![]() ![]() Any illustrators interested in partnering up? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This moment is so well done in such a “less-is-more-kind-of-gesture,” I am again planted back into my childhood feeling the happiness of their reunion. Because Harry is so clever, he figures out a way to show his family that it is really him underneath all the dirt. ![]() I was so caught up in Harry’s world, I was actually really scared that his family would never recognize him. When he starts to miss his family and arrives home, they don’t recognize him! This is the very point in the story that drops me back into the emotional state of a child fearing that Harry will never be reunited. He hates it so much that he buries his scrub brush in the yard and runs away! He gets so dirty on his adventure about the town that he turns from a white dog with black spots into a black dog with white spots. This is the story of Harry, a dog who hates his bath. It’s the one childhood picture book I easily recall from start to finish and one I can read over and over again. One of my favorite picture books as a kid was Harry the Dirty Dog.

Q: What if you saw it happen from inside his mind? Back in her own body, Sadie is faced with the ultimate dilemma. As Sadie falls deeper into his world, dazzled by the shimmering pinpricks of color that form images in his mind, she begins to think she knows him. ![]() Q: What if the crime is murder? Ford Winters is haunted by the murder of his older brother, James. There's just one problem: Sadie's fallen in love with him. She's been accepted to the prestigious Mind Corps Fellowship program, where she'll spend six weeks as an observer inside the head of Ford, a troubled boy with a passion for the crumbling architecture of the inner city. ![]() Q: If the boy you love commits a crime, would you turn him in? Sadie Ames is a type-A teenager from the wealthy suburbs. ![]() ![]() ![]() As they go down the sledding hill one last time, Ethan steers them toward a large tree with the intent of killing them both, but in the crash he and Mattie are instead badly injured. Zeena, sensing what has occurred, soon resolves to send Mattie away again, and on the last night before her departure, Ethan and Mattie take a sled-ride together. The coming of Zeena’s pretty and sweet-natured young cousin, Mattie, to the Frome household is a magical change in Ethan’s life, and he and Mattie soon fall in love with each other. However, Zeena quickly became a querulous invalid herself, leaving Ethan feeling more unhappy and isolated than ever. This “flashback” traces the younger Ethan’s thwarted desires to leave Starkfield and pursue higher education, and his marriage out of a sense of duty and out of sheer loneliness to a cousin, Zeena, after she came to nurse his dying mother. The majority of the story is the narrator’s imagined reconstruction of Ethan’s youth, based on his incomplete knowledge of the man gained from other townspeople. The text is constructed as a frame story wherein the narrator, an engineer who is temporarily in Starkfield for a project, becomes intrigued with Ethan Frome, a solitary farmer. This novella is set in the village of Starkfield, in western Massachusetts, and the barren, isolated winter landscape that the town’s name connotes is influential to the events and themes of this tragic narrative. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The even chapters take place in a mysterious city where the animals are taken outside of its walls every night and let in again in the morning. The uneven chapters feature a sci-fi-esque Tokyo with human data processors, a gang war going on behind the scenes and a mad professor who works on removing sound. These two parts appear to be entirely separate at first, with only some overlaps in themes and motifs, but come together at the end of the book. The chapters in this book alternate between the ‘Hard-Boiled Wonderland’ part of the book (uneven chapters) and ‘The End of the World’ (even chapters). Not unlike your average literary work, I’d argue. It’s not uplifting, but this stems from its ‘gritty realistic’ atmosphere full of interesting philosophical musings on the concepts of memory, reality and identity rather than any down-right depressiveness. In retrospect, I think my belief that this book would be depressing was wrong. Then, a few weeks ago one of my friends suggested that we read this for our book club and I finally picked it up. I had heard that Murakami’s book are very depressing and I was a bit too scared to start. I can’t even remember how long ago I thought ‘I should read some Murakami’ and bought this book. ![]() If you’ve already read it, perhaps you’ll enjoy a discussion about its ending (look out for my second post of today). This is a spoiler-free (or at least spoiler-light) review of this book. ![]() |
