Fisher Price 9151 Gate

The husband [review]


As soon as I got this book in hand I quickly realized that it could be a great novel. What is told on the cover struck me from the start. It 's a simple but ingenious premise.

Imagine a classic tale of kidnap and ransom, one of those stories you've seen reproduced in a thousand different sauces, which in the end they all taste the same.
Imagine that your wife is kidnapped by the usual mysterious group. A man calls you and tells you that if you give him two million dollars to kill her. The problem is that you do not have them two million dollars, let the gardener, and if it is true that you jump through hoops to make ends meet, it does not have enough money that you can throw in risky purchases. Imagine having two million dollars, a figure that you have only seen in movies.

Hey, you're not listening to me. I do the gardening.
Mitch Rafferty says the man who kidnapped his wife. Where to find them, he, two million dollars. Quiet Mitch, you invent something. Wait for further instructions and your wife will see her.

Here.
To me this was enough to extract texture. This simple idea has convinced me to buy it. In its extreme simplicity is genius: blackmail you and ask you for money you did not.
E 'something illogical, right? Then why did they do? Based on

This question moves the first part of the story. Mitch will be there waiting for shocking revelations and reversals in the face that would never have imagined. In a short time is sucked into a paradoxical situation involving his family and horrible is going to undermine the good that has managed to build a life of sacrifice.

Koontz manages to perfection the course of history, places the twists in the right places, like a wise hunter who has the traps. And when you fall into that trap one is electrocuted.
I think I can say that, by eye, there's a plot twist every fifty pages and pages of whereas this book has about 350, is by no means an average of neglect.
However, the twists are never simple accessories, not just the tricks of a magician of mystery, but they always have a function to the story.

Everything is combined with a simple but effective style that sometimes gets lost a bit 'too much in the boundary descriptions which, though short, off the accelerator instead of just when you are praying that everything goes as quickly as possible.

The characters are really interesting. We understand that behind every one of them has been done a remarkable job of finishing.
Dialogues are functional to the story, sometimes a bit 'dry humor rarely contain quality, but never feels the weight of a conversation useless or misleading.

The author then turns a bit 'in the background, let me speak to both the history. And it is good, because it is the best way to keep a player glued to the pages.
No chatter, no purely incidental reflections on life, everything you see has a meaning, all you feel is important. Sometimes
Koontz, precisely because of this stylistic choice, it seems a bit 'cold and maybe some readers will be disappointed by this. But I think the plot is sufficiently compelling to be funny to anyone. Among the mourners

notes put a hasty end, and a bit 'too sickly sweet.
I do not like the fact that some problems remain unresolved. It 's too easy to create the mess and then put him in a bubble. The illusion provides the basis for a novel that every action the player performs on the card has an impact on the world around him, everything according to the assumption that what we are reading is a real and not fictitious.
Ok?
Good.
Then, in the real world, people die if the police investigate. If the clues lead the police in a particular direction, then the police go in that particular direction.
In this case it is not. Or rather, it could also be so, but not seen, and the end result is a sense of incompleteness.
At least that was my reaction.

For the rest, nothing to report.
Maybe a couple of coincidences a bit 'forced, but Koontz is able to vendersele well. Hats off for that.

For the second time I was very struck by this author and I think that I will continue to read his books.

Rating: 4 / 5


PS The title (same as in English, The Husband ) is horrendous.

Alumni Interview, What To Wear

Shining [review]



Attention!

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS



To make comparisons between this book and Kubrick's film masterpiece of the risk of being influenced and being not very flattering review of the work of King. And at the same time, are in the open all the little inventions of the film, those who have special permission to film memorable scenes like the famous manuscript of Jack that endlessly repeats an old English proverb, for example.
This book, in my view, not a masterpiece like the movie, but it is still a good horror.

E 'done a great job on the characters, which are few, but returned and described to the tiniest detail. Each of their weakness, their every small personal hatred and fear are all highlighted by a King who dig deep in their lives, drawing on the great cesspool of hatred and insecurity.
Jack Torrance is a former alcoholic (his father), a failed teacher who is trying to rehabilitate himself as a writer and that hides within it a great violence and anger that can not always control. His wife, Wendy, is a woman who has long suffered the tyranny of the mother who brought him a gift at the same time a great courage and great determination, but also the fear of becoming like her (which is expressed with terror ' envy she feels for her son's close relationship with his father). And finally, Danny, a child who has a powerful "Aura", a power that enables him to communicate telepathically with others who have to read people's minds and to be able to see things before they happen.
The family of Jack finds himself in financial straits and he decides to accept the post of winter caretaker at the old Overlook Hotel, a hotel that has had a tumultuous history, but which represents an opportunity for him to do something good and to keep afloat in the economic situation.

And so the little family party and discovers a few months of being in a place possessed by a demonic force, which for years has absorbed all the evil that has happened inside and that is able to unleash his will. What's more, the Torrance find themselves trapped in the snow, unable to escape from that hotel cursed. The floor plan shows
Overlook his face hidden (beautiful in this regard, references to the story by Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death , with the obsessive repetition of that "Down the mask! Down the mask!" ) and took possession of Jack Torrance, relying on his old habit, alcoholism, and his sense of guilt, on the failures of a lifetime. The office as a clock and freed him to go wild for the corridors. And then
hedges that are animated and can kill. Children buried in the snow trying to grasp Danny, a woman who committed suicide who holds out his hands swollen and purple to anyone entering the room 217. The sudden find themselves in a nightmare, truly, really, in which the ghosts are not just "pictures in a book, but they bite, scratch and kill.

The construction of the novel is admirable. Everything happens just as it must happen. The tension increases as they move through the pages and at every new turn you can see where the story wants to go to finish, without ruining the ending of the book, you save more for the style that made for a surprise.
Some parts I found them all too redundant, especially those relating to the past and the character of the different characters, but it is a verbosity that can be understood well. If King had shortened a few moments of stillness over the story, the novel would have certainly helped.
The rest of the way of the King I found it really appropriate to the narrative. It changes from moment to moment from real to imaginary, from present to past, you enter in the thoughts of the characters and we find ourselves spectators of what is happening. I, from this point of view, I found it perfect.

The weakest point of the story is the predictability of the story. Although he has not seen the movie, I suppose not many people have had problems to guess the ending. The fact remains however that this is certainly a pleasant point for the book, but too many times it seemed that the story should proceed a bit 'too regularly, as if they moved on tracks, perhaps even in the areas where greater uncertainty in the future would have increased the sense of anguish reader.

The images are always powerful and well done. The horror fielded by King floats between the tip of horrific visions in the event of real monsters and living corpses. And all this is really wonderful when it happens suddenly and, on rare occasions, unfortunately, unexpected.

A King novels with more behind would hold the accelerator at the right time and maybe would have invented an unexpected turn for the story, what really is missing in this novel.
bed so, The Shining remains a good horror, which is among a sufficiently full and more than one vote.
Personally, I've found a vital lesson on building the characters and the tension.
Some pictures and a few sentences of this book will remember for a lifetime. Phrases like:

This inhuman place makes human monsters.

Letter For Removal Of Personal Property

A first issue is not denied Second to none ... Part


One day you will see me begging on street corners, begging me some change for lunch. And the reason is simple: when I see a new comic I can not help but buy it.

Why?
Boh.
Maybe because every time I hope to buy and read the final cartoon, the one whose beauty will fade any other comic I've ever read before. Or maybe it's simply because I like to read and I like the news.
Anyway, I decided to give it a chance even in a comic book from which I had promised myself to keep me away: Cassidy.
Why I did not want to read it?

The reasons are two:
1) The Ruju Pasquale writes. In my Ruju is a wonderful person, a funny guy, a man of gold. But not have never been able to appreciate one of his stories. E 'stronger than me. Ruju is my kryptonite.
2) Caravan.

The reason number two it could seem a bit 'dark, so I'll explain. About twelve months ago started a new miniseries and Bonelli, given the axiom that the first number is not denied to anyone, I decided to look at it.
Result: I was thrilled.
There was pathos, there was a desperate situation that threatened to become even more desperate, a mystery mysterious background, the feeling that at any moment anything could happen, since the arrival of the aliens to zombies rising from land. There was
fell with all the shoes.
Twelve months later, the series is over. The ending is the most irritating you can read in the world. It 's a final-final, which explains nothing, it leaves a conclusion worthy of the name but can in rare attempt not mean shit and at the same time, be able to bring inconsistencies.
And to make matters worse, the editorial is a brilliant man named Gianmaria deliberate spoiler against a great film like "The Usual Suspects", which is built almost entirely on the final surprise.
Now, I personally think that there is a place in Hell reserved for those spoilers, which are doomed to read books and see movies that they already know the end, for eternity. And I know for a fact that Gianmaria against us will end up in that special spot in Hell. But still I feel that at least a little justice on earth and that I should pursue justice on earth I would push for a boycott of any future categorically miniseries Bonelli.
This was my decision.

Then I had a cold shower, I vented to the gym, I kicked the pups and I burned a couple of bums.
Finally, the last issue of anger provocatami Caravan had almost convinced me to write a post full of sputazzi and horrible blasphemy, but in the end I gave all'angioletto that is on my right shoulder and I decided to give up. I felt drained. So I
said "ok, Caravan is a disgusting, we turn the page and go forward."

And here came Cassidy.

Bonelli's new miniseries about Raymond Cassidy, a blond man condemned to having two huge sopracciglioni blacks all my life.


START SPOILER (spoiler because I do not ever understand Gianmaria, 'I do not ever spoiler!)

Ok.
early introduction is more or less understand everything there is to know about comics, the action is brought in the 70's, all made of inspectors Callahan, Steve McQueen, fast cars, guns and fuciloni.
If any man stuck in a movie theater and you see thirty films of that Gender and ask him to write a comic, in the end it will come out Cassidy.

This comic is definitely a product derivative, which has come with the ugly default of about thirty years too late. Absolutely does not add anything to what we have seen millions of times more.
Cassidy is the leader of a gang. They do a robbery. His comrades betray him.
This is half the story of this first issue. Stop me if you already know.
mortally wounded, Cassidy meets a mysterious blind bluesman, found the harmonica and he gave him 18 months to put things right.
Why 18 months? It is not known. A Ruju turned her ass to make a miniseries of eighteen numbers and has invented this number, not even make an effort to give him some special meaning, as I know, pulling the ball in numerology, the Cabala, the cazzonesoismo. However

.
The "magical resurrection in time 'is a million times you've seen (so far I can only think of the movie" Jack Frost "with Michael Keaton, but certainly there are many others), and then, once again , Ruju does nothing but draw liberally from the cauldron of the already seen.

Cassidy at this point of the story is slightly altered for the betrayal of his buddies and decided to look for them, probably to tell the story calmly and hammer toes, but the old bluesman suddenly appears and says something like "this is not what I meant to fix things."
The cartoon ends with call to her daughter, Cassidy.
Wow.

Credits. We come to

rating: Cassidy 'na sheets.
Why?
It 'easy to understand:
1) It is based on tons of material already seen and reviewed.
2) The characters are interesting as plaster walls and which seems so terribly stereotypical always known (the same Cassidy is nothing but the hard-hearted, the criminal who was stabbed in the back with the difficult past and blah blah blah ... if the wife is also dead, we did the full).
3) There are pearls Rujana unimaginable levels, with phrases like: "I do not put us with that! It 's a demon jumped out of Hell." Poffarbacco! But yes, we kicked the likelihood and talk like a movie serial B!
4) The ninety pages and change that make up this first issue are full of inconsistencies from the jaw on the shoes and nothing makes me believe that it was only a momentary distraction of the author. Ruju is so, makes things happen.
Cassidy needs to be found by his doctor friend? Perfect. His friend the doctor has found her way to hunt a mountain lion that killed his animals. At night. You are an old man I do not know how many years and go hunting in the woods at night with a fucilino and dog as big as a coconut? If you are Tarzan tick "Yes" if you're a character in a story Ruju tick "NO, BUT BOTH ...".
And there were also others, but it seems quite unnecessary to accept to write one by one. We close here.

Let's talk about 'drawings.
Vincent I have never made a fool, but in this comic I have not borne much. The reason is simple: all people are healthy carriers of eyebrows.
are huge!
This applies both to the aforementioned sopracciglioni blacks Cassidy, and for those of his doctor, who occupy about one third of the face.
seems that all characters have the beetles blacks on his face ready to devour the balls eye.
For the rest, Vincent and I'm not crazy enough. Anyway, even with extra-fine drawings would be able to appreciate this comic.

screenplay Rating: 1 / 5. Evaluation designs
: 2 / 5.

WHAT HAPPENS 'in the next episode?

(Note: the heading "What will happen 'in the next episode?" Is based on the first thing that comes to my head when I close a book or a comic or finish to see a TV series or movie. None of this could have the slightest bearing on reality.)
Cassidy kills most of the bad guys, except the super villain, what will remain strictly last.
In the meantime, will have improved relations with the daughter and sister, and discovers love with his old flame (unless it is not dead, in which case nothing will happen. It is a shame because at least a bit 'of necrophilia would help the story.)
At the end of the eighteen issues of the saga will find that those above her eyes are really big eaters hairy caterpillars Capocci human and will die in agony, while his arch-enemy stuprerà and kill every single member of his family, including goldfish and a centuries-old grandmother, the only one who will appreciate the treatment.

END SPOILER


'm a dirty spendthrift.

For his move chooses an island in Florida, called Duma Key. He settled in a big pink house with a wonderful view of the sea and discovers a talent that one believed dormant: painting.
Edgar begins to paint fiercely, driven by a supernatural force. He soon discovers that is not there to chance. This discovery will cost him dearly.

King adopted the first-person narrative for this novel and I can only agree with this choice. The story told through the words of the same takes Edgar Freemantle those nuances typical of the ironic and tragic love life of the main character.
The plot was engineered perfectly, every single element of the story is a precise location in the novel and contributes to the "Squaring the circle" that any reader would expect to find in a novel excellent.
images represented by King are always very effective and shocking, always strike a nerve.

Duma Key is a novel that hits hard, which is not sparing anyone. The bitterness of defeat, the story of a man who broke through the denial of its weakness and then take a fast dish that will take him up very quickly and back down even faster. This, in my opinion, is the best part of the novel.

Then, when you move into the realm of fantasy, King returned to amaze as it once was. There's nothing too original this time, but everything works great. The finish is a ride of one hundred and fifty pages written beautifully, maintaining high voltage and encourage people to go all the way to not stop reading until you can finally see light at the end of the tunnel

A compelling and enjoyable reading, which associated with a specific narrative, with a precision and attention in the images that define almost "cinema", the important reflections of life. More than once I went back and reread passages that made me think.

As for the flaws I found very little, only two small plot elements that have prevented me from assigning a full vote on the novel:

1) The use of silver as a load of magical power.
2) The tightening of paranormal phenomena during the night.

are two elements too abused and do not find a logical explanation within the novel.
I understand being picky, are basically only two small details of little importance to the plot that are more functional characteristic of the event (in the sense that they have a purely instrumental role, they are there because "we need something, not because they" represent something "), but they are still elements out of tune in a melody that otherwise would have been perfect.

A good novel.
the face of those who say that King is old and repetitive.



RATING 4 / 5

PS
Honorable mention for the wonderful cover.

Where To Get A Male Brazilian In Edmonton

The thin dark line [review]


Stanley Mitchell moved to a small town with his family, who has just decided to take a drive-in management. During one summer of his pre-adolescence finds herself embroiled in the biggest situations that would lead him to a sudden and early maturity.

Frankly I expected better.
the end goal of the borough, the novel is not a story to tell as a "situation". And the situation in question is America after the war, those fifties still full of racial prejudice and infighting in the population (almost always struggle between poor, one might say).
why the discovery of some magic love letters mysterious, and everything that goes with it too remains in the background. In the main story, as if this were not enough, other stories are juxtaposed side, who do nothing but fatten the novel without ever adding anything particularly tasty. What follows is a development of the plot slow and cumbersome. To judge by the standards of a thriller, its structure is very weak.

Despite the quality of writing, the novel suffers from too much the first part boring.
Since the mid-on, the pace accelerates, but the result is still lackluster. The finish is good, but certainly can not raise too didactic narrative, which would provide a snapshot of a particular historical period (and more or less succeeds) but did not associate a great story to tell.
Again Lansdale gives his best in action scenes.

Overall not a bad novel, but if it's worth the ticket price is only on a few well-chosen elements (especially the characters and dialogue, even if they sometimes seemed to me a bit 'too obvious and unnecessary) .

Bah, I expect better from Lansdale, but then I just can not not give him a narrow enough.
Of course, if I read this book before those of Hap & Leonard series certainly would not have continued to be interested in this author.
