![]() ![]() ![]() Duncan Dougall was the bully in the first book and given a few lines that suggested he was misunderstood. In the case of 'Fried' there's only one multifaceted character (I don't recall Susan ever getting past the good-girl archetype, but I'll see soon) since Peter let himself be abducted at the end of book one. It has similar elements to Coville's other writing, a great genre hook to get a reader interested with surprising multifaceted characters, but with simpler language and structure. I was a trifle off the mark, though since 'My Teacher Fried My Brains' is more suitable for readers just making the transition into chapter books. ![]() I compared the homely heroine Jennifer Murdley to Duncan Dougall in my review as near equals in complexity. This was one of the first books I remember ordering through the Trumpet Club (almost as exciting as the Scholastic Book Fair!), and can you blame me? Just look at that cover! Sometimes you just have to stop trying to sleep and start reading prepubescent classics. I've even gone so far as to order the other two, but I just couldn't wait for them to get in. It was reading 'Jennifer Murdley's Toad' last week that gave me the itch to reread these books. ![]() ![]() ![]() So anyway, in the end, I think we can safely say that we don't have enough evidence to claim that the basic ideas of the Big Bang theory and/or inflation theory are incorrect. It is expected that inflation will eventually end in a Big Bang, and so the Big Bang that started off our universe might not have been the beginning, but just the end of inflation in a certain region of space. Rather, inflation caused the "bang" in the Big Bang. It need not be true that inflation happened shortly after the Big Bang. However, there is one common misconception about the inflation theory. It also explains the flatness problem (why the universe is flat): when a curved surface expands exponentially, it would appear flat. It explains why the universe is homogeneous in all directions. ![]() ![]() This idea is an appealing one since it solves a lot of problems in cosmology. Alan Guth proposed that the universe went through a period of sudden, rapid expansion during the early phase (inflation). Einstein’s cosmological constant, which he agreed to be the "biggest blunder" in his life and which he added to his theory to "keep the universe static," actually exhibits the properties that are required here. A form of matter that would exhibit repulsive gravitational property is needed to accelerate the universe. Matter has attractive gravitational properties and should, thus, slow down the expansion. Recent measurements of the red-shifts of certain supernovas have revealed that the universe has been accelerating for the last 5-6 billion years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Douglas Preston, co-author of The Monster of FlorenceĪ classic adventure from James Rollins, the author of The Doomsday Key, The Last Oracle, The Judas Strain, Black Order, and other pulse-pounding, New York Times bestselling thrillers, Excavation carries readers deep into the jungles of South America, and into the terrifying heart of dark mysteries that should never be unearthed.

When Prince Oroonokos passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses. Two centuries after Behn's burial in Westminster Abbey's Poets Corner, Virginia Woolf observed, "All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn. The bestselling story by a legendary female writer-a tale of love, slavery, and rebellion. The storyteller's account of an African prince who is sold into slavery and becomes the leader of a rebellion represents one of the first fictional treatments of colonial and abolitionist themes, and it is unusual for its era in its sympathetic regard for black Africans.ĭespite the considerable success of her poetry, plays, and fiction, little is known for certain about the life of Restoration-era author Aphra Behn (1640–89). Originally published in 1688, the tale combines memoir, biography, and travelogue in the form of a narrative by an Englishwoman visiting Surinam. ![]() This eBook is made available at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. A landmark in the history of the novel, Oroonoko is among the earliest such works in the English language and its author, Aphra Behn, is often cited as the first professional woman writer.

Meanwhile, a blind minstrel incites the masses to take the law into their own hands, and a riot of apocalyptic proportions follows with savage and unforgettable consequences. ![]() The prisoners languish in horrifying conditions in their cells, with only their strength of character and thoughts of their loved ones to save them from madness. Families are destroyed by the random imprisonment of young and old for supposed crimes against the state. A surplus on the garlic market ensues, and the farmers must watch in horror as their crops wither and rot in the fields. Warehouses fill up, taxes skyrocket, and government officials maltreat even those who have traveled for days to sell their harvest. The Communist government has encouraged them to plant garlic, but selling the crop is not as simple as they believed. The farmers of Paradise County have been leading a hardscrabble life unchanged for generations. ![]() ![]() ![]() George Steiner, for instance, called The Ground Beneath Her Feet "retro in every sense of the word" because it required "a lot of reading to achieve what those geniuses achieved earlier and better." This is relatively mild compared to the denunciation delivered. More recently, however, literary critics in India and in the United States have offered some strong opinions about weaknesses in his work. The myth works as a red thread from which the author sometimes strays, but to which he attaches an endless series of references. Published in 2000, it is a variation on the Orpheus/Eurydice myth with rock music replacing Orpheus lyre. In Rushdie's case, given the controversial nature of his work and the number of political figures (Ayatollah Kohmeini, Indira Gandhi, Bal Thackeray) who have attacked him, critical reactions have been primarily aimed at the ideological component of his writing, or in the case of some British writers (Roald Dahl, John le Carre, Germaine Greer) at supposed defects in his character. The Ground Beneath Her Feet is a novel written by Salman Rushdie. When an author achieves international acclaim, there is bound to be a counterreaction to the general chorus of praise. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Potter's books continue to sell throughout the world in many languages with her stories being retold in song, film, ballet, and animation.

Matilda Wormwood, played by the adorable Alisha Weir, is a brilliant mind and voracious reader who was born to two negligent idiot parents (Andrea Riseborough and Stephen Graham, not getting enough laughs). ![]() Alisha Weir plays Matilda Wormwood in “Matilda the Musical” on Netflix. Stage directors, by and large, are inept at making movies and yet we keep allowing them to make movies. The movie looks like every other Netflix show shot in Britain - “Sex Education,” “Heartstopper” - except that here children break into song on unremarkable cobblestone streets. The lesser film version, directed by Matthew Warchus who also helmed the live musical, is unfortunately absent of any invigorating aesthetic to rouse viewers. ![]() 25.Īustralian composer Tim Minchin’s show - whip-smart if somewhat frigid - ran on Broadway for four years and continues to play in London, and onstage the distinctive musical has a sickly, subversive, nuclear sludge-like atmosphere shrewdly broken up by the occasional sweet song sung by little kids.Īudiences love nothing more than watching a pack of perky preteens sing and dance.
