![]() ![]() The summary says it all - everything seems "almost too good to be true." Like most things in life, if you think something is too good to be true, it probably is. How I Felt About It: This book was a whirlwind, and when it took an unexpected turn it did, I couldn't believe I didn't catch on to it before. ![]() When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan - her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, but Ryle's complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. ![]() Ryle is assertive, stubborn, and maybe even a little arrogant.

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover ($8.99 for Kindle on Amazon) Summary (via Goodreads): Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. ![]() ![]() ![]() People are likely to have strong feelings about this book, from disgust to bemusement to desperate interest on the part of the AFCs ("Average Frustrated Chumps") that Strauss talks so much about, after confessing to being one. Won't up your Game, but better than reality TV The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year. And then things really start to get strange - and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year - guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever. And Neil Strauss, the best-selling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. They live together in houses known as Projects. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reel Life: Rocky's apartment looks awful - it's dark and small and grungy, and the only view is of a brick wall. Mark Kram, who previewed the fight for SI, characterized the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Wepner as "a wide, long slab of heart and dreams who is one of the last club fighters, the kind who gives you what he has, who turns a ring into a red-wine sea and keeps coming on for more." Wepner was a heavy underdog, and his fight with Ali in Cleveland was considered such a mismatch that Wepner appeared on a Sports Illustrated cover with the headline "Boxing's Strange Encounter." Stallone had watched on closed-circuit as Wepner, nicknamed the "Bayonne Bleeder," went 15 rounds in a title bout against Muhammad Ali on March 24, 1975, in Cleveland. In Real Life: Sylvester Stallone was inspired by Chuck Wepner, a 35-year-old club fighter who also happened to be the No. In Reel Life: Rocky Balboa is a 30-year-old club fighter.

Unbroken picks up several months after the events of Ruined. ![]() Unfortunately, several things soon become clear about Rebecca's new friends: Lisette is a ghost, the fact that Rebecca can see her is not a good sign, and Anton knows more about them both than he's telling. ![]() Her social interaction is limited to two people: Anton Grey, a handsome, popular boy from one of the city's old-money families, and Lisette, a girl she meets in Lafayette Cemetery. Rebecca sticks out like a sore thumb, having little interest in New Orleans's celebratory rituals and stratified class system. Ruined is set in modern-day New Orleans, where fifteen-year-old Rebecca Brown is sent for a six-month-long stay with a family friend while her father is on a business trip. Dark Souls had some shaky characterization, but Morris's plot was creative, creepy, and rich in historical detail (all things I approve of in a ghost story), so my hopes were high. After reading Paula Morris's novel Dark Souls earlier this spring, I decided to hunt down the two books in her earlier series, Ruined and Unbroken. ![]() ![]() ![]() In recent years, John Zerzan, co-editor of Black and Green Review, has successfully toured Europe to speak from his primitivist perspective regarding contemporary civilization.

Small wonder that biographer Alexandra Lapierre was drawn to write about Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the first female painters to gain acclaim in the male-dominated 17th-century art world. Lapierre brings Artemisia Gentileschi to vivid life as she tells of the emotional struggles of the most fascinating and controversial artist of her time. Artemisia is the story of a powerful love/hate relationship between master and pupil, father and daughter, and a talent that overturned the prejudices of the day, winning commissions from wealthy patrons, nobles, and kings. ![]() Indeed, she went farther: she dared to plead her case in court. ![]() Raped by his partner Agostino Tassi at seventeen, the Gentileschi name was dragged through scandal for Artemisia refused, even when tortured, to deny that she had been raped. Born in the early 1600s when artists were the celebrities of the day, Artemisia was apprenticed to her father, the artist Orazio Gentileschi, at an early age. An international best-seller, Alexandra Lapierre's Artemisia sweeps us through the streets once frequented by Caravaggio, Velasquez, and Van Dyck and into the studios of artists who used their daggers as efficiently as their brushes. ![]() |
