![]() ![]() While it brushes by over intimate moments keeping them PG visually, it has several sexual jokes, lewd talk and other descriptions when it comes to sex definitely pushing it. Through out the book several of the characters get drunk and often black out. Several characters are involved in violent situations such as gangs, drug dealings, beating until near death, sexual assault attempt, arson, murder, police brutality, suicide attempts and much more. The overall theme and topic of the book is about the world ending. ![]() While I believe this is an excellent book if you enjoy apocalyptic, life or death scenarios, and the pondering thoughts on the existence of life, I was very surprised at the low age rating for this book so I thought I would give my two cents!

In a "fertile period" during the sixties and seventies, this was challenged in some places by "lower density building based on making neighbourhoods communities." But then, during the eighties and nineties came the "the period of egotism and the architects became more and more obsessed with buildings with funny shapes." More optimistically, he points to such as New York, Melbourne, Moscow and, most notably, his home capital Copenhagen as examples of cities where the economic and social value of creating Cities for People has been recognised and followed by action. Gehl describes a post-war urban planning formula in which the car was transport king in linear asphalt empires and housing developments sprouted in high-rise isolation amid concrete voids. He observed that "everyone has read her very famous book ," but regreted that its lessons had not been learned more quickly and widely. The closing mention of Jane Jacobs, the legendary thinker on cities who so profoundly opposed the post-war planning consensus in America, was repeated by Gehl when we spoke on Friday. ![]() ![]() ![]() Grant has more than 30 years of experience working in broadcast radio and television news and current affairs.

The arguments that the characters had about these topics were insightful and in tune with the time period that they were in. Additionally, the themes of intellect, freedom, safety, and voice were potent. I found this to be one of the most compelling parts of the novel because I love when characters change for the better because of each other. Sebastian took me a while to warm up to, but his huge personal changes really sold him to me. ![]() It was a fun and steamy read! Annabelle was an incredibly likable character, but I felt like she never fully got the credit that she deserved.

This is one of Gallico's best works, making a perfect companion to his more famous Thomasina and telling of a boy transposed into the body of a cat by accident. In portraying Jennie, a London tabby, Paul Gallico has given us not only a cat's-eye-view of the cosmos, but also a cat immortal. ![]() The adventures that unfolded, reminiscent of The Wind in the Willows and Peter Pan, captured me so thoroughly I knew writing was part of my destiny. When I was 9 years old I plucked The Abandoned from my school library's dusty shelves and fell in love with literature. You should be warned that if you hate cats you'd better not read this story, for it will so entertain you and instruct you in the ways of cats that your interest and liking will be aroused in spite of you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her mother and father are dead, and she's trying her hardest to provide for her younger sister, Sophie, and their wastrel brother, Alain, by using la magie ordinaire to transform odds and ends into coins that last just long enough to pay for a loaf of bread. ![]() What do I long for in a historical fantasy? Give me the tangled streets of late eighteenth century Paris, the golden halls of Versailles, the rustling of silk skirts, the clang of dueling swords, the snap of a deck of cards being shuffled - all served with a delicious soupçon of magic and a baited breath as la Révolution bears down upon noble and commoner alike.Ĭamille is resourceful but unlucky.
