There are a few fights with punches and kicks but no blood or gore. Gritty and sometimes difficult to watch, the movie is ultimately uplifting, with positive messages about overcoming adversity and about people with physical differences or challenges being human, just like anyone.

Rushdie borrows from history to depict siblings and their families who’d stop at little to gain power as one of his interlocutors, a European explorer, spits, “I wrote in my journal that Deva Raya and his murderous brothers only cared about getting drunk and fucking. Vijayanagar, or Victory City, was a real place, the seat of a powerful empire that occupied most of southern India.

The saga centers on Eugenides, or Gen, named after The God of Thieves. And if I decide to do a reread before the fifth book comes out (which I undoubtedly will do just for the pleasure of it), I will begin with The Thief.

It will be very hard to do, and I have to join the ranks of those heaping praise on this series.įirst I must confess I missed the first book entirely, The Thief, because I didn’t know there was a book before The Queen of Attolia. Here’s a challenge for you: try to find a negative review of this series, or even, someone who doesn’t love it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. ![]() Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A.

Although I remember it being wonderful, I could not recall exactly what made it so amazing, but it is a novel I never forgot about. ![]() I first crossed paths with this book in elementary school. When You Reach Me is one of my favorite books of all time, one reason being that I have never read something quite like this. Who is sending these notes? Why does the sender instruct Miranda to write a letter? Why did Sal stop talking to Miranda? They appear in the most random places and seem to predict future events. Then there are the notes she is starting to receive. ![]() First she has to pass by the laughing man, who throws his fist into the air, kicks his legs into the street, and keeps his head underneath a mailbox.
