![]() You may not expect a goddess to wear a knitted vest and a Winnie-the-Pooh apron, but you’d be wrong. If the deity ever decided to make an earthly visit, she might appear more like your unassuming middle-aged auntie. Appearances Can Be DeceivingĪnd don’t let the stunning golden statue of the Cave Bear Goddess in the temple fool you. Don’t even think of bribing the goddess with extra honey-drizzled rice cakes. But an aspiring witch must pass an initiation test in order to earn the Gi that will allow them to wield power. For the Gom clan, the Cave Bear Goddess imparts the ability to heal. The six goddesses, all of whom live in the Godrealm, are responsible for granting a defining power to the members of their respective clan. Six gifted clans operate in LA (including one we don’t like to talk about), and each one worships its own patron goddess. ![]() So consider yourself lucky that you’re getting a peek at the Cave Bear Goddess. A Korean witch could go their entire lifetime without even knowing what their patron goddess looks like. ![]() We’re all guilty of worshipping our favorite celebrities and musical artists a little too hard sometimes, even if we don’t know much about them on a personal level. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think if she wasn’t the narrator then this book would’ve fallen short, in my opinion she’s the one who actually brings it all together. We get to see everything from Megan’s point of view which made me feel connected to her more than any of the other characters. ![]() They obviously don’t sound mature throughout the entire book (apart from Megan?) but you get to pick up on it through their conversations. Burdens that most people their age don’t carry. It’s not like your typical YA in which a few teenagers try to sound much older for their age just for the sake of it, these characters sound mature because of the burdens they carry. The plot is definitely one that I’ve never come across before which makes the book even more unique. This book deals with sacrifices, death, guilt, fear, love, forgiveness. I can’t remember the last time a book got so many emotions out of me. It made me laugh, it made me cringe, it got me excited, it made me cry, it made me think, it made me feel frustrated and at the end of it all, it made me smile. ![]() You might want to skip the Goodreads synopsis if you’ve decided to go in blindly!Įver wondered how a single moment can change the life of many?

Jim fand die Schatzkarte bei einem verstorbenen Gast im Gasthaus eines Vaters und fährt als Schiffsjunge mit. ![]() Für jugendliche Leser ist der junge Jim Hawkins die Identifikationsfigur. Vor allem der letztgenannte entspricht ganz dem zwiespältigen Bild des Piraten und trägt zu den vielen Wendungen des Buches bei: Einerseits erscheint er fleißig, humorvoll und jovial, andererseits verschlagen, grausam und rücksichtslos. Die Namen der Protagonisten sind auch ohne Kenntnis des Buches bekannt: Jim Hawkins, Ben Gunn, Captain Flint und natürlich vor allem Long John Silver. Bis heute prägt dieses Buch unsere Bilder von Piraten: Holzbein, Papagei auf der Schulter, Schatzkarte. Zunächst erschien die Geschichte als Fortsetzungsroman und dann- das war der endgültige Durchbruch- als kompletter Roman. Dieser Erstlingsroman des damals 30-jährigen entstand, als er mit seinem Stiefsohn zum Zeitvertreib eine Schatzkarte zeichnete. ![]() Stevenson ein mittlerweile wieder anerkannter Autor. Definitiv ein Klassiker des Abenteuerromans ist „Die Schatzinsel“ und zu Recht ist R.L. ![]() ![]() ![]() I imagine that if I were her mother or sister, I'd be worried, knowing that there was some stranger roaming the village and my daughter insists to be out there, alone. There were times where I felt Lexi was self-absorbed, righteous and unnecessarily gung-ho about her problems since she was always running off on her own without telling her mother or sister what she was up to. It had been a long, arduous read up until that point and I was somewhat satisfied by the action-packed battle. I was glad that the story had finally concluded and the children were finally retrieved. My favorite scene was when Cole and Lexi battle the Near Witch at the end of the story. I didn't feel any chemistry between the two - the love story was almost arbitrary. I also thought the love story set up between Lexi and Cole was poorly done as there is no real reason why Cole decided to fall in love with Lexi. She pretty much eluded him every single night. ![]() This proves to be tedious to read and it was also unbelievable that her Uncle Otto never found her despite apparently being so strict about keeping her under watch. Lexi was always running around from her house to Magda and Dreska's and to the moor with no logical sequence, making the story feel unnecessarily circuitous. ![]() I didn't like this story because I found the story rather poorly set up in many aspects. ![]() ![]() a deeply real and sympathetic character, and that dimensionality extends to the rest of the cast. * "Zarr doesn't waste a word in this superb study of a young musical prodigy trying to reclaim her life. * " really, truly gets inside her characters' minds and shows us what makes them complex human beings - their faults, fears, and hopes.This is a mellifluous novel about rekindling joy - in music, in the everyday, and in the beauty around us."- Booklist, starred review I love how Sara Zarr can make you laugh and cry on the same page, and I think this is her best book yet."- James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner (Metro New York) ![]() "This book has so much depth and character that it stays with you like actual memories. ![]() ![]() "An elegant novel.Zarr vividly develops the title character, illuminating Lucy's teenage insecurities, her close and fractious friendships and the coming-of-age realization that she can pursue her dreams on her own terms.A rewarding journey for readers."- The New York Times Book Review ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It proposes the obliteration of men while deploring women who pander for “Daddy’s” approval instead of having a SCUM mindset: “Unhampered by propriety, niceness, discretion, public opinion, ‘morals,’ the ‘respect’ of assholes, always funky… SCUM’s still in the gutter of our ‘society.”‘ Valerie’s biggest regret after shooting Andy Warhol in 1968 came from the realization that her persona would remain permanently stunted, forever boxed into this mythical would-be assassin of the outrageously famous Pop artist. Some of the less complimentary descriptions of Solanas included “the Robespierre of feminism,” “a glitch,” “a woman who looked as though she had walked through a tear in space and time.” Valerie identified herself as a writer, and she left two masterpieces-the gender-bending play Up Your Ass, still as enigmatically ahead of its time in performances today, and the polarizing, poisonous, wickedly funny SCUM Manifesto (never S.C.U.M.), which Valerie obsessively revised throughout her life. ![]() The counterculture revolution of the 1960s received Valerie Solanas as a radical feminist icon, a trailblazing queer figure, and a great writer-minus the complimentary spin.
