![]() To begin with, the book is about 4 high school students and 1 missing racehorse. Rafferty Lincoln Loves… is probably one of the very few books that actually touches me so deeply not only because of the overall storyline but because of the shocking resemblance to my personal experience. Had I not stepped forward in the boat to reach Dexter or even gone to the boat in the first place, would the outcome be different? ***Actual rating: 5/5 Minty-is-BACK!

The only member without a specialty is your daughter, and she’s what I call the voice of reason.”Įr, yeah, she has no specialty because she dropped out of college after the Rapture! I guess an education is superfluous now, even though she could’ve had seven years to use that education at a job or maybe have insights helpful for the Tribulation Force. On page 20, Ken Ritz–yet another pilot who’s currently chatting with Rayford–says, “So, three pilots, a doc, and a rabbi–sounds like the start of a joke.

Born February 12th, 1970 and raised on Long Island in New York, Judd began cartooning professionally at 16 with a single-paneled strip called Nuts & Bolts. He’s solicited to be writing the series through issue #14, but he apparently told Newsarama that next week’s issue #0 will be his last! ![]() ![]() As for Batwing, there is still no word on which writer will be taking Winick’s place or which issue he’ll be leaving on exactly. His run on Catwoman ended just last month and we’ll see the first issue with new writer Ann Nocenti in just a few weeks with issue #0. I’m pursing a few other projects that make it impossible for me continue doing a monthly book.Īnd with that Judd Winick goes from writing two bat-titles to zero. I will miss telling the tales of David Zavimbe, the Batman of Africa in many ways, but I’m proud of the work we’ve done. He also wrote the critically acclaimed animated feature BATMAN: UNDER THE HOOD, based on his original work in the BATMAN series. I’ve had a terrific time on the title and have loved crafting this adventure with some phenomenal people. Artists Ben Oliver, Marcus To, and Brain Reber have made these stories come to life. It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that I’ll be leaving the DC monthly Batwing. Newsarama talked with Judd Winick and learned that he will be exiting the Batwing title very soon: Batman: Under the Red Hood (Trade Paperback / Paperback). ![]() So here’s some big news that I missed out on by being away for a week.

I imagine it took Marlon James little work to make the book so contemporary despite its being set in turn of the 19th century Jamaica. What is perhaps most haunting about the novel is that it is still so relevant to today’s issues. ![]() I will touch on it with some thoughts from Nietzsche on revenge, but that’s about it.įirst and foremost, The Book of Night Women is about slavery. I can talk in theory about this, but it’s humbling to sit down and write about a subject I have no business involving myself in. Much of The Book of Night Women deals with blackness and approaches to dealing with oppressors in a system they perpetuate. And to clear the air, I’m not sure how I feel about reviewing this as a 25 year old straight white guy. It possibly falls short only its spending a few moments to explain things that I wasn’t sure needed to be explained, but that’s not really anything I’m going to hold against a book that much unless it just does it entirely too often. ![]() I will be straightforward: I don’t think The Book of Night Women is on the same level that A Brief History of Seven Killings is on, it is still a remarkably good book that, like A Brief History, challenges its reader in a variety of ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The main character, Jule, is a totally fascinating character with so many complex layers that unfold as you dive deeper into the novel. "They invite that kind of complicity, and so I wanted to write that kind of story but tell it backwards, so you can become increasingly invested in an antihero character by seeing her become more innocent as the story goes on." This concept is what makes Genuine Fraud so captivating, along with the engaging voice in which the story is told and a clever plot twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat. "We identify with these characters, and they force us to confront darker sides of ourselves in really interesting ways," Lockhart explains. What makes Genuine Fraud so intriguing, is that the entire story is actually told backwards! Lockhart explains the reasoning of that is because the novel is an 'antihero' story, breaking the barriers of literature as that role typically isn't seen in young female characters. The novel explores a friendship between two young women who look enough alike to share a passport. ![]() Lockhart has mastered psychological suspense in her latest novel- the story of a young woman whose diabolical smarts are her ticket to her charmed life, until she reinvents herself one too many times. Genuine Fraud is a thriller so surprising you won't be able to put it down!

At the school, she had basic English classes, and an advanced one like the AP class and the honors English class. This was very small as compared to what you would have in a major city. Everyone she knew went to the same high school and there were just about a hundred students in her graduating class. Keplinger was born in a very small town in Kentucky and had very few choices for high school as there was just one for the entire county.
