The only thing I would say that stops me from giving this book the highest score is that, having read dozens of Brubaker’s comics now, I saw a lot I’d seen before from him. ![]() I was effortlessly drawn into Max’s story and I loved the bait’n’switches Brubaker threw in - just when you think, aha, I know where this is going, nope! And then again - and then again! It’s great - I love it when a writer can do that with his audience so well. Unsurprisingly Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have produced another cracking comic with their latest, Pulp. But he decides to make sure he goes out well - leaving his wife Rosa with enough to comfortably get by in her retirement and take out some Nazis too. It’s the winter of 1939 in New York City and the aptly-named Max Winter (not just because of the season the story takes place in but because Max is in the “winter” of his life), a struggling Western pulp fiction writer, gets some bad news. That’s the reason we survived so long… Because this world belongs to monsters. ![]() ![]() ![]() I will never forget that first view as we stepped out into the courtyard and saw the little house with its welcoming lights shining softly from every window onto a dusting of new snow. ![]() The passage was cobbled, and at the end of it there was an old two-story clapboard house.

Tucked away from the street and only accessible through a passageway, the house was the inspiration for The Hidden House. In fact, it is likely that she wrote Goodnight Moon there.

In fact, Edwards been given short shrift in a number of ways. The glimpse we got into Edward’s telepathy throughout the novel was interesting for me it was presented in a way that was not really what I was expecting. The biggest missing piece is the second half of Midnight Sun, Edward Cullens Twilight story. A lot of the novel was kind of fan service-y and I did enjoy reading it, but I feel like some aspects of the novel (like Edward’s obsessiveness being totally brushed off) I could live without.Īn aspect I enjoyed from the book was the way that the Cullen familial dynamics were written and I also liked that Edward acknowledges Bella’s averageness at first because it does seem quite unrealistic that she would be “the most beautiful person he's ever seen” when he's surrounded by perfect people. If you are not into a lot of inner monologue then this book may not be for you, but I have always been a Twilight fan, flaws and all so I enjoyed it. This novel was highly anticipated from the Twilight fans, and for me it did not disappoint.

Yet in reality, as Burgess correctly identifies, it is ‘a cunning work of art, a confidence trick of the imagination.’ĭefoe was only five years old when the plague broke out. Defoe presents his novel as a genuine book of memoirs, a detailed and intimate if sometimes rambling and digressive account of one man’s experience living in London throughout the ‘visitation’ that swept away an estimated 100,000 people - a fifth of the population of the city. ![]() ![]() One of the questions that Burgess grapples with is the relationship the Journal has with historical accuracy. His introduction is still available in the current Penguin Classics edition, and it remains a lively and thoughtful preparation for Defoe’s haunting description of the outbreak of plague that ravaged London in 1665. One of Anthony Burgess’s first commissions from Penguin Books was to write an introduction to Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year, published in 1966 as part of the Penguin English Library. ![]() |
