I dislike criticizing voiceover artists because I know, from experience it is not an easy job. First, the author seemed to end almost each story with some version of “they will never do it again.” That was tiresome after about the first ten stories. I have only two complaints regarding the listening experience. It is not written with the same attention to detail as The Demonologist it is more of a collection of short stories. Remember, the entire book is just about 2 hours in length and the author does a good job of only using one chapter for introduction and the rest for actual stories and experiences of people using the boards and their results. These examples are divided into chapters which grow in intensity as the book progresses. Each example consists of a few paragraphs which are very comprehensive and leave no time for a person to lose interest. This book is filled with factual and useful information.

Bent on the persecution of the rich and powerful Knights Templar, Philip sentences Grand Master Jacques Molay to be burned at the stake, thus drawing down upon himself a curse that will destroy his entire dynasty… He governs his realm with an iron hand, but he cannot rule his own family: his sons are weak and their wives adulterous while his red-blooded daughter Isabella is unhappily married to an English king who prefers the company of men.Ī web of scandal, murder and intrigue is weaving itself around the Iron King but his downfall will come from an unexpected quarter. The Iron King – Philip the Fair – is as cold and silent, as handsome and unblinking as a statue. “Accursed! Accursed!

The book”s title is taken from a line by poet George Sterling, who was a major figure in San Francisco bohemian circles a century ago. The John Muir-like exhilaration of wandering through this vast terrain of fascinating vistas and corners is really the joy of the book.” “Every day I would wander through some new stretch of the city. He”ll be at Capitola Book Café tonight to discuss his new book. The result is his new book, “Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco,” which weaves personal storytelling and regional history to create a granular and wide-sweeping portrait of one of the world”s most fascinating cities. His first order of business was to learn “every inch” of Golden Gate Park, and then he turned his attention to the rest of the fabled City By the Bay. I could start fluttering around like an iron-jointed butterfly.” “But when I got my knees fixed, it opened up the city to me. “Before I got my knees replaced, it was just getting increasingly painful and there was a certain amount of stoicism just getting one place to another,” he said. When longtime San Francisco journalist Gary Kamiya got knee-replacement surgery, suddenly the city - his city - was a new place. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Satan's Harvest by Ed WarrenFollowing his retirement, he began devoting himself to demonology cases full time. He retired in 2004 as a decorated sergeant, having spent a portion of his time serving in the 46th Precinct in The Bronx, which has a reputation for being one of the most violent neighborhoods in all of New York City. The real Ralph Sarchie was a member of the New York City Police Department for approximately twenty years from the early 1980s through the 1990s. How long was Ralph Sarchie a member of the NYPD? It was these liberties that led to the movie posters being adorned with the phrase, "Inspired by the actual accounts of an NYPD sergeant," instead of, "Based on the actual accounts of an NYPD sergeant." This differs from director Scott Derrickson's previous exorcism movie, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which follows the real account much more closely and was promoted with the "based on a true story" tagline. "He took liberties with certain aspects." "Scott took a lot of elements of my cases and put them in a different context than what I originally wrote about," says Sarchie. In examining the Deliver Us From Evil true story, we learned that the movie does not follow Ralph Sarchie's cases exactly, but is rather a fictional retelling of some of the cases he worked on. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Half girlfriend story in hindiArjun Kapoor is a likeable actor, and plays the wanting-to-get-into-the-tony-redbrick-college-under-the-sports-quota Madhav with sincerity, even if it feels put on in places, and his accent keeps slipping. When your hormones are surging, even a ‘half-girlfriend’, specially the girl everyone in college has an eye on, will do. Is a girl who keeps giving a guy a little hand-out, but keeps pulling back when asked for more, a ‘half girlfriend’? The film taps into, and speaks to the half-cooked, confused desires of a certain kind of male (in this instance North Indian/ Bihari) when he gets Madhav’s roommate at St Steven’s College, yes, modeled on that College which uses the capital c with dead seriousness, without a shred of irony, to say: ‘yeh aadha, pauna, chauthai kya hai’? The answer to the original question is squelchy. Teddy Prescott devotes his life to sleeping, tattooing, and avoiding seriousness. Until, one day, someone dazzling blows in to town. All she needs to do is stay serious-and that’s what she does best. Maybe after all that, she can find a cute guy to date. She might also be able to defend her safe little world from Prescott Development, the new buyer of the prime site. If Ruthie can run the place in her almost-retired bosses’ absence, with no hijinks/hiccups, she has a shot at becoming the new manager. Ruthie Midona will work in Providence’s front office, and be at the Parloni’s beck and call, forever. The salary is generous and the employers are 90 years old, so how hard could the job be? Well, none have lasted longer than a week. Good looks a bonus-but we aren’t picky.Īn advertisement has been placed (again!) by the wealthy and eccentric Parloni Sisters. Duties include boutique shopping, fast-food fetching, and sincerely rendered flattery. Position Vacant: Two ancient old women residing at Providence Retirement Villa seek male assistant for casual exploitation and good-natured humiliation.

Ramsey also shares the experiences of other people he met along the way who shared the same fate. In his money teaching and writings, he shares his experiences when he first started making money and had no idea what to do with it. This is a situation Bestselling Author Dave Ramsey has personally experienced. Instead, the more money we make, the more the ‘needs’ we have, and when this reaches the breaking point, everything comes crumbling down and bad money habits may occur. But, sadly, that is not how the aspects of money works. So, we cross our fingers and hope that everything will work out just fine. Some might be too scared to understand how they do or don’t manage their money, while others are just worried that learning about financing is too complicated for them to understand.Ĭonsidering that many of us have survived this long without any financial plan, we have these dangerous money myths that it cannot get any better or worse. One of the most common mistakes many people make with their finances is living blindly without a sure-fire plan, that is, before they read the top Dave Ramsey books. Mortality is a recurring theme throughout the book. Finally, Book V and VI cover the creation of the universe, celestial beings, and natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning.Įngraving by Guernier in an 18th century edition of On the Nature of Things, via Wikimedia Commons. Books III and IV describe the atomic structure of the soul and the body. Books I and II describe the nature of the atomic universe, and provide an opportunity to refute the physical theories of other philosophical schools, including Stoicism and the pre-Socratics (e.g. The poem’s structure is made up of three matching pairs of books which deal with the following themes: atoms and their role within the universe the soul and the cosmos.Īs well as the symmetrical structure, each book begins with a clear introduction. Lucretius planned his poem very carefully. It contains over 7,000 dactylic hexameters which expound Epicurean philosophy via poetic language rich in metaphor. The original Latin title of the work, De rerum natura, is a translation of Epicurus’ most well-known work Peri physeos (On Nature).

Did I think Misery was an absolute masterclass in a tight, two-person thriller? Most definitely.ĭo I now want to read IT and Pet Cemetery? Hell no.īlurb: Paul Sheldon. Did I find some of the ad-hoc oddities towards the end a bit unnecessary? Perhaps. And then again.ĭid I skim the hard to read bits of the Misery sub-story? Maybe. Poor Paul Sheldon, that guy went through so much, day in day out, just when it didn’t seem like it could possibly get worse – it did. At first it felt almost as though her obsession with Paul had driven her to act out of character but as the story unravelled, and Annie’s past was revealed, the true situation became more and more horrifying with every passing day. There were so many layers to Annie, at first she seemed keen, infatuated, almost coy, then it became clear she was controlling, but that soon gave way to mean, then insane, then pure evil. Equally, I wasn’t really prepared for the depth of depravity that was the mind of Annie Wilkes – wow – she was something else! I was vaguely aware of the premise of the story, but had no idea how it ended. I mentioned to my cousin that I hadn’t read many Stephen King books and the next time I saw her she had an ancient copy of Misery clutched in her hand for me. How do you review a classic such as this?īrutal, shocking, impossible to put down. |
