![]() ![]() At least they were better than the bloody elves. The only vampire who I found tolerable was Ivy, the rest were insufferable. Most of the vampires came across as cliched, their threats and behaviour was tiresome to read about. ![]() ![]() What I really wanted was more demon related plot, they were the most entertaining and interesting characters yet they got pushed out by the much duller vampires and elves. That being said the vampire plot was nowhere near as good as it could have been and unfortunately, there was still too much elf nonsense for my liking. The plot didn't do much for me, on the one hand I was glad that all the focus wasn't on Trent and his elf politics and that instead the vampires took centre stage. I'm sure the writing in earlier books was a lot better. I was disappointed with the writing, it didn't flow very well, it was awkward and all over the place especially the action scenes. Naturally, chaos ensues.Īlso, lots of Rachel mooning over Trent and them two being nauseatingly sappy and melodramatic. Summary: Rachel is forced to find a way to help undead vampires get their souls back. There were very few things that I actually found entertaining, the only aspect I truly appreciated and enjoyed were certain, well written secondary characters, everything else was rubbish. ![]() I was hoping that some of the magic of earlier books would have been recaptured in this one… Sadly, that wasn't the case. I'm so glad the series is finally over, the last few books have been dire and this one wasn't much better. ![]()

Jennifer's childhood mania was the result of her then undiagnosed OCD joining forces with her Hebrew studies-what psychiatrists call scrupulosity While preparing for her bat mitzvah, she was introduced to an entire set of arcane laws and quickly made it her mission to follow them perfectly. Recalling the agony of growing up an obsessive-compulsive religious fanatic, Traig fearlessly confesses the most peculiar behavior like tirelessly scrubbing her hands for a full half hour before dinner, feeding her stuffed animals before herself, and washing everything she owned because she thought it was contaminated by pork fumes. Jennifer Traig's memoir Devil in the Details paints a portrait of a well-meaning Jewish girl and her good-natured parents, and takes a very funny, very sharp look back at growing up with obsessive-compulsive disorder. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These lost boys and Peter Pan all keep saying "This girl seems different.

So, Winnie gets taken to Neverland because they need to go through her memories to find where Wendy Darling had hidden Peter Pan's shadow because it has become his life source for survival. The characters lack so much depth to them including Winnie besides she is a prostitute because of her mother's lack of mothering. This is just me talking about my initial expectations.īut the reason I gave this book 2 stars is because it LACKS. Maybe we will see this in the second book, but this isn't the reason for my 2 star rating. ![]() I wanted so badly for Peter pan to fly through my window and take me away to Neverland to play with pixie dust and fight pirates. I grew up loving Peter pan and believing in fairies and building little rock houses for them and clothes. So, why did I choose to give 2 stars? Well, let's go with, the book could've been so much better if someone else wrote it who put the time to actually develop the characters and their connections with each other. 4.2 stars? Wow! Must be amazing, right? No. I will say, when I saw the rating for this book, I had such high hopes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to his daily worries, he must reconcile the disgrace he suffers from the surprise bombing with the pride he has in his heritage, a pride that he feels more keenly now that his father and grandfather are no longer there to preserve it for him. Alone with his mother and five-year-old sister, Tomi must become the man of the family, despite his own fear. Tomi's grandfather, a harmless old man, is taken away. His gentle, fisherman father is imprisoned, his boat sunk.

Kelly Moran recently joined Grammy-nominated composer and pianist Missy Mazzoli at St Giles’ Cripplegate Church for a spellbinding performance – presented by the Barbican – that included a solo set from each and a recital of two collaborative duets. Working with prepared piano, she records improvised compositions that are layered with prismatic textures and iridescent synth tones, bringing together imaginative instrumental technique and exploratory electronics to produce vivid, evocative music that transcends categorisation. ![]() Composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Kelly Moran works at the forefront of an ongoing collision between the electronic and the acoustic, breaking down the walls between instrumental and electronic music and making space for extraordinary and innovative new forms to evolve and flourish.Īs a singularly gifted pianist with an idiosyncratic style, Moran’s music is centred around her instrument. ![]() ![]() ![]() What lies behind such behavior and preferences?

However when you think carefully, you'll see that the two questions are virtually identical. When answering the second question, however, most people chose the prospect with a 50% chance of losing $1,000. The result showed that for the first question, the majority picked the option with a 100% chance of winning $500. These were the two questions that the two psychologists asked their research participants. Question two: You've been given $2,000, and you need to choose from another two options. Question one: Imagine you’ve been given $1,000, and you need to choose from two options.
