Right this moment he wanted her with a hungerthat was painful. What was herfascination? It wasn't her beauty, though her dark hairhad the sheen of midnight and her almond-shaped eyesand smooth creamy skin and sultry mouth inflamedhim. ![]() ![]() But no matter how littleshe cared - and sometimes it seemed to him thatshe made her disdain for him more apparent everyday - he knew he would never leave her, that he woulddo what she wished, when she wished. He wished with a quickbitterness that he could as easily control his appetitesin every sphere. Because of his diabeteshe permitted himself only a half cup everymorning, no cream, no sugar. Hewatched the clear black stream of coffee, strong, hot,nerve-stretching, pour into his cup. Those eyes - they reminded him uncomfortablyof a cat watching a bird, remorseless, predatory, unfathomable.He focused on the coffeepot, a fine chinaone with pink roses twining around the spout.

His subsequent exchange with the driver immediately establishes that each has a different version of what happened, and Levy expertly plants another clue to the many disruptions that will follow: “a small, flat, rectangular object” lying in the road that suddenly emits a man’s angry voice. ![]() Saul jumps back to avoid an oncoming car and falls on his hip. ![]() The year is 1988, and Saul is about to spend two weeks doing research in the German Democratic Republic Jennifer intends the photo as a gift for his East German translator’s Beatles-obsessed sister. He is Saul Adler, a historian specializing in communist Eastern Europe, and he is there to meet his girlfriend, Jennifer Moreau, a photographer who wants to emulate the Beatles’ famous “Abbey Road” album cover with Saul in it. Levy opens with a characteristically striking visual image: a man stepping into the zebra crossing on London’s Abbey Road as a car approaches. ![]() ![]() “The Man Who Saw Everything” is a brilliantly constructed jigsaw puzzle of meaning that will leave readers wondering how much they can ever truly know. Elliptical, elusive and endlessly stimulating, Deborah Levy’s new novel, her third to be nominated for the Booker Prize, packs an astonishing amount into 200 pages. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The result for anyone reading this book is to either become angered if they identify as queer, or develop a sense of guilt if they identify as straight. In the context of this book, all queer people are oppressed by all straight people. This is done by creating a group of oppressed people and a group of oppressors. The resulting theory is referred to as Critical Queer Theory or just Queer Theory.Ĭritical theory is a Marxist concept which seeks to divide people based on a characteristic which is often beyond their control. All that is necessary is to replace the word Race with the word Queer. If you are familiar with the idea of Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory will be very easy to understand. In addition to describing the work of scientists, the book introduces the idea of Queer Theory. This book seeks to explain the history of sexuality and gender study through detailed descriptions from psychologists, sexologists and biologists.

Ghosts is journalist Dolly Alderton‘s debut novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was so hard to read which is a testament to Pearson’s story telling. Some of the story just gutted me and made me cry. I guess what I can talk about was how Mary made me an emotional mess reading. It’s hard because I can’t say which boy is my favorite and I can’t say what impact each have on Lia without giving it all away. I mean the first book, The Kiss of Deception, is built entirely on the audience not knowing which boy is which in Lia’s life. All three books are so connected with tiny details and stories that it is hard to point out just what I loved most in BoD. It was so good and Mary did an amazing job connecting all three and that is where the problem is. This is probably the hardest book to review. Especially if it a series finale as good as Mary Pearson’s The Beauty of Darkness. ![]() That’s the problem with the final book in a series, when it’s done it’s done and you’re left wanting more. I was looking for more words I was looking for the story to continue and sadly it was over.

She is selfish and self absorbed but also really determined, really sure of herself and shouldn’t be underestimated. Alessandra is portrayed as an antagonist instead of a protagonist like we usually see in YA books. The characters were not bad but I didn’t really “see” the connection between them. We got glimpses of it but never detailed and I love a good world building when I read fantasy books. ![]() The book itself was boring and there wasn’t any world building in it. However, when suddenly other attempts on Shadow King’s life are made, Alessandra finds herself helping him and trying to keep him alive long enough for her plan to come to action, all while trying not to fall in love.Įven though I wanted to enjoy this book, because I found the synopsis interesting, I didn’t really like it. Regardless, Alessandra is determined because she is tired of being overlooked. It’s said that his shadows swirl around him and attack on command or they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of people. Shadow King is newly crowned and nobody knows the extent of his power.
