A country at dawn, by Dennis Lehane

Before reading this latest novel by Dennis Lehane, I was blown away by the first 5 ( A Drink Before the War, Darkness, Take My Hand, Sacred, Gone Baby Gone, Prayers for Rain ), detective novels of startling audacity and inventiveness, featuring a pair of private detectives, Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro, and magnified a city even in its darkness, Boston, a bit like Harry Bosch and his Los Angeles , then I was rather disappointed by the 2 following Mystic River and Shutter Island , novels blacks agreed or without Kenzie Gennaro.

Needless to say I was rather hesitant towards a book that once again my favorite couple of private detectives was absent, and what is worse is presented as a historical novel, the kind I do not like.

What I liked in the investigation of Kenzie and Gennaro, besides the poetic titles, was of course the plots complex and turbulent, the twists, suspense and unexpected outcomes are essential to great novels, the 'infectious love of an author for his city, but especially dazzling style, 2-3 sentences (per book) out of the blue hand and never read before and which left me speechless with admiration (and jealousy) and the dialogues tasty, these verbal jousts, mixtures of love, humor, desire and aggression, between Kenzie and Gennaro, worthy of Shakespeare's comedies.

These dazzling and sparkling dialogues had disappeared two novels that disappointed me, I did not found a country in at dawn but I found other qualities almost equal.
We can talk about great historical fresco showing the birth of a nation while paradoxically the story - stories - taking place almost entirely in Boston and a short period of two years ago.
But during these two years there things happen: the end of the first world war, the catastrophic epidemic of English influenza, the advance of ideas of trade unionism and left into the police, the radicalization of workers, and cause or consequence of the radicalization in power, the beginnings of what would become the FBI's hunt for the Bolsheviks and anarchists, bomb who respond or above, the first police strike in Boston in USA, and the terrible riots that followed the suppression and equally terrible, and near or above all this, the problem Immigration and the racial issue, all within a block of 760 pages with numerous individual fates intertwine brilliantly, connecting the stories to history.
Frescoes of this kind are not rare, far away, but it is successful at all points of view, one comes across a real historical figures (Babe Ruth, the greatest baseball player of all time, the future President Coolidge, Hoover, the future master of the FBI, and anarchists famous in their time) without melee characters invented fireworks, black, white, Irish, Slavic, Italian, cops, gangsters, politicians, workers, pretty faces of courageous women whose courage is not only physical but also moral, of these women who are not afraid to love completely (Nora Lila the black and Irish) hate or until death (Tessa, the setter of bomb fanatic), but two male characters especially memorable, the cop Danny White and Luther, the multi-talented young black, thick and deep that almost equals real life, and changing, insights into dramatic errors, the immaturity of young dogs to a crazy wonderful nobility of soul, becoming two models of what this land of extremes can produce best.
A stunning portrait and unvarnished essence of America in its most hateful (unscrupulous politicians, unscrupulous bosses, corrupt cops, racism, violence, stupidity, ignorance, greed) and most admirable (saints, martyrs and heroes, generosity, greatness of soul, consciousness Acute duty, love of neighbor and an unwavering commitment to build a better world to force the wrist)

How Long Does It Take To Get Sti Tests Ack

Dances with Wolves, Michael Blake Tobias

Initially I borrowed from the library for my fillechérie who is a fan of wolves and wolf books, but she did not want. Maybe it has changed. Everything changes, especially children.

well 25 years ago I really liked movie with Kevin Costner and so I started reading it.

course for a book written in 1988, he was a bit late to discover that Indian tribes were a rich and flourishing civilization that binds our civilization, soldiers and settlers uneducated, dirty and violent, have virtually destroyed, along with the buffalo. We knew for some time, even John Ford and John Wayne did, half a century earlier, it said.
But for teenagers is a good book to find out, living, pulsating, full of good intentions but without adding too much, and there is something so fresh, new and enthusiastic in the hero that can not fail to smile like a younger brother too expansive.

A young lieutenant, a young but went through suffering and death, not free during the Civil War, wants a change of scenery and transferred the farthest from the world he has known, so far as he finds himself squarely in an abandoned fort with its garrison. Instead of going quietly taking new orders he moved there and discovered the vastness of the plains still wild, solitude, companionship with a horse and a wolf, the Comanche Indians, the point of becoming self-Comanche same. But the past always catches up with us eventually.

Rap Song That Says Big Cars, Big House

Lolness of Timothy Fombelle

Sumptuous.

The story is set in a tree inhabited by the people, trees, human beings like ourselves strong, apart from size 2 mm to break everything, and also falls under the tree, which remains the nation grass.

It leaves little hero, Toby Lolness, 13 years, but it is a strange and remarkable that reveals his adventures through the pages, an original world that does not have the impression of having read a thousand times, although other authors have imagined life to be smaller than us (Swift and Gulliver's Travels to Pratchett and ledger gnomes).



The many characters are strikingly portrayed and individualized, the heroes are of depth sometimes shining like the romantic and unforgettable heroine what Elisha, and their opponents are Rabelaisian to perfection, a whole gallery Tronche grotesque and hilarious to imagine that anything more than words, many more besides (brilliantly) as evil beasts.

truculent are the adventures of Tobias, chased by his people because of his father, intractable scholar and Green who wants to reveal the secrets of his invention dangerous for the tree, Toby meets betrayal, cruelty, love, friendship, sacrifice, all these things in the normal and epic novels of initiation for teenagers, but I never get tired, especially when similarly fed and finely mastered on a breathless pace that does not reflect political or philosophical, sentimental or breaks a modesty and delicacy of another time.

Just as Proust, characters reappear in a different light, circles unexpected close up in the intrigue, and even the final lines light up and make everything smooth and bigger than all of its parts. And Queneau as in the rigorous construction and architecture that reveal themselves in the knowledge of the whole work once completed the two volumes, the secret and the fate of each character revealed, even minor.

The world is beautiful when seen up to weevil, life is always complicated, but nobody has invented anything better to replace it. And no one really invented the literature better than to dream.

At the bottom of the tree, before making landfall, the wood of the trunk is raised and form the highest mountain ranges.
Arrows, bottomless abysses ... Looks like the surface of the bark is sometimes ragged, sometimes wavy like the folds of a curtain. The forests of moss clinging to the mountains and catch snowflakes in winter. Ivy vines with his mouth all the passages between the valleys. It is a country impassable and dangerous.
Digging bark at the bottom of the canyons, we sometimes find the remains of unlucky adventurers who have ventured into these mountains. Over time, wood has finally digest them. We discover a compass, a pair of spikes or a skull than a quarter of a millimeter. That is all that remains of their heroic dreams.
Yet among these inhospitable mountains, there is a small protected valley where it would install a cottage property to spend Christmas under the duvet listening to the fireplace roar. A green valley that collects rain water in a small pond surrounded by soft bark.
only inhabitant of the area, a wood louse came every morning to graze a little greenery.
ago in the tree many corners of paradise we had better leave the gentiles woodlice.

Before You Start Your Period Are You Dry

September

I title my next seven books.

For some, I also have a beginning of history, a frame or an idea of what they contain.

It only remains to write them.

They say it's the hardest, but indefinite pronoun means liar.

To me the Goncourt.
