Cause aside from the occasional White Elephant or Rickshaw Girl there’s not a whole heckuva lot to choose from. We’re talking about near non-existent ones in the American book marketplace. Please do me the favor of now asking yourself the following questions about said book: (A) Does it contain characters from another country? If you answered yes, then (B) Are those characters human? At this point, we aren’t even talking about rare early chapter books. Lots exist, to a certain extent (and if you know where to look). ![]() the really well written early chapter book. The goal, the gem, the one kind of book all children’s librarians seek but know are so difficult to find. More elusive than good picture books for older readers. The rare dual review! I hardly ever do them, but today is special. Kane Miller (a division of EDC Publishing) ![]() ![]() They came from every direction and boy did it hurt!! *cries* This was just too much!!! My brain suffers from an overload of thoughts and feels and I’m desperately trying to recover from all the different blows. Oh god, all those revelations! I can’t even… I’m still thinking about everything that happened in this book, I’m trying to wrap my head around it, I’m trying to understand it, but I just can’t. ![]() To read this felt like someone was constantly punching me, hurting my body and my soul!! By now a few days have passed ever since I finished reading this book, yet my first reaction to “Restore Me” still remains the same.Īnd those were only four of the nicer things I thought when I closed the last page of this mind-blowing book! After reading this I’m shook to the core and my feelings are still all over the place! Tahereh Mafi SHATTERED, UNRAVELLED and DESTROYED me with every single line. ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator’s sensitivities make him sense and see things in hell, heaven, and on earth, and things that other people are not aware of. Nonetheless, the narrator’s denial of madness is proved wrong as the story unfolds to reveal that he is mad. The narrator admits to his dreadful nervousness, which he believes works to sharpen his senses but not to dull or destroy them. The narrator begins by saying, IT’S TRUE! YES, I HAVE BEEN ILL, very ill… But why do you say that I am mad?” (Poe). In the first paragraph, the readers can already detect the narrator’s mental instability as he acknowledges his mental condition, although he does not admit to being mad. Poe writes about the narrator who believes that he is not mad, although he is motivated to murder an innocent man because his eyes frighten him. Initially, Poe does not characterize the narrator as he does not provide their relationship with the old man or give him a name. Through the character development of the unnamed main character, Poe shows how he gradually begins to lose touch with reality. ![]() ![]() ![]() Good writing from the author, I hate that this story is ending soon and I am amazed she'll be able to wrap everything up in just one more book. ![]() Majorly cringed when Gisela showed up again, ugh, and Vespera's murder was shocking.Īnd the ending.

I am way too old to be this excited about my favorite fictional couple figuring things out and kissing but I don't care! It is giving me LIFE right now!!! I have been a Team Foster-Keefe fan since I started the series and that kiss was EVERYTHING. She's one of my favorite characters in the series and if SM kills her off, I'll be devastated.Ībsolutely, 100% loved chapter 42. I'm a little worried she never came back from finding Cadfael though. And the naming the dagger thing was funny, too. The sleepover scene was hysterical and I love that Ro helped Sophie open her eyes about Keefe. Loved the time we had with Ro in this book. She's making the decisions she feels are right and standing up for herself. I LOVE this sassy version of Sophie where she's done letting people walk all over her. ![]() I raced through it so I definitely need to go back and read it again, but wow! I think this might be my favorite book so far. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even though she is innocent, she is denied any other options.

Girl eats boy! Thankfully, this is not the plot of the book which I now compel you to read – the continuing Twisted saga that catapulted Jessica Zafra to success and acclaim as the voice of Generation-X and the displaced youth who read her in the mid 1990s (although she won’t admit to this). ![]() Friends!

In these novels, the writers retell the traditional history through innovative narrative techniques and multiplicity of the views that de-centralize the conventional history. The current study examines the way history writing is reconfigured in the selected postmodern novel. In fact, postmodern fiction writers usually deviate from the traditional representation of past events. The last couple of years have noticed the publication of many English novels by Indian and Pakistani authors that in fact belong to the very genre of postmodern historiographic metafiction.
