![]() ![]() Only two weeks earlier, Time magazine had published a scathing condemnation of American Psycho, calling it a “childish horror fantasy about a Wall Street yuppie whose tastes run from nouvelle cuisine to the most appalling acts of torture, murder, and dismemberment ever described in a book targeted for the bestseller lists.” The piece included one brutally graphic paragraph describing the vivisection of a young woman, and said the book had caused a big row at Simon & Schuster. Doctorow and Jerzy Kosinski and their peers, Dick Snyder, the taut CEO of S&S, took Binky Urban, Ellis’s agent, aside. And there - like a skunk lurking at a garden party - was the … problem … American Psycho, the misogynistic new novel by 26-year-old Bret Easton Ellis that Simon & Schuster was going to publish in January.Īs Brooke Astor and Mercedes Bass and their peers chatted up E. There were the literary lions of New York - publishing and social stars all - preening at the black-tie gala at the Public Library last month.

I just wanted to let you know how deeply this story moved me and to thank you for creating it." I remained at the edge of my seat devouring every single word you wove with this incredible story. ![]() This is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read. "I have read hundreds if not thousands of books in my lifetime and not once have I ever been moved to comment on one until now. Miriam Minger says: It's been a wonderful experience to have all my novels published as eBooks, but the greatest thrill for me as a writer is when readers take the time to let me know they enjoyed my stories. She is the winner of several Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Awards-including Best Medieval Historical Romance of the Year for The Pagan's Prize-and a two-time RITA Award Finalist for The Brigand Bride and Captive Rose. ![]() ![]() Miriam is also the author of contemporary romance, romantic suspense, inspirational romance, and children's books.

Eileen Crow, Emma MacLiam as Benny and Cyril Cusack as Lord Castlewelland. Other members of the cast included Ruth McCabe as Mary, Fiona Shaw as Dr. Hugh O’Conor played Christy as a boy, with Ray McAnally and Brenda Fricker as his parents. The central role was played by Daniel Day-Lewis who spent months in preparation and remained in character throughout the entire production, impressing cast and crew by his absorption in the part.ĭaniel was so committed to the role that he acted out the opening scene, as we see it in the film, on the first take. ![]() The film was a co-production of a number of companies including Granada Films, Miramax Films, Ferndale Films and Radio Telefis Eireann. Pearson had enough confidence in him and put him in charge of the £1.7 million film. He had never directed a film before, but pleaded with Pearson. While working on the script based on Christy’s book, My Left Foot, Sheridan became desperate to direct it. Pearson set about commissioning a script and assigned a leading Dublin theatre director, Jim Sheridan and Shane Connaughton the task. ![]() He realised it would be a tough unenviable project but persevered. Arthur Flynn remembers the classic film based on the life of Christy BrownĪ project that obsessed theatre producer Noel Pearson for many years was to bring the life of the disabled Dublin writer, Christy Brown, who could write and paint with his left foot, to the screen. ![]() ![]() ![]() They were accepted too easily by the characters. I also felt not enough time was spent freaking out about the super-natural things that were happening. She was "there" enough to be less cryptic. I think she could have explained what was going on or at least we should know why she didn't explain it. "The table is leaking", "You'll want to but you can't" (more or less). I don't understand why Elizabeth had to be so mysterious. It's a huge book I expected it to be huge-er. I did like listening to the whole book but the reveal of, and the resolution of the "bad guy" wasn't satisfying for me. ![]() ![]() It is unacceptable to not be included in the audiobook! This one page introduces us to a very important character and How to Draw a Picture (#) is continued throughout the book. It doesn't read the poems and it skips How to Draw a Picture (I). I see now that the audiobook skips an important part of the book. ![]() The narrator is doing a great job also.ĪUDIOBOOK READER BEWARE I got a hard copy from the library because I wanted to find the exact wording from the part of the story that discusses the painting HELLO. I had a string of books I wasn't enjoying but I'm quite cozy reading this book. I saw another reviewer say they find Stephen King comforting. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Using excerpts from the novel and quotes from Scripture, Francine walks readers through Angel's healing journey, showing how her unworthiness, fear, and emptiness are ultimately exchanged for the fullness of knowing God's unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.Įach week also includes an essay from Francine tied to her personal journey of writing and then living with Redeeming Love. This six-week study, with three segments per week, explores Angel and Michael's iconic story as a metaphor for the love relationship between God and those He is yearning to reach. 'Redeeming Love: The Companion Study' offers longtime fans as well as readers new to the Christian romance classic a meaningful way to explore the book's message and go deeper into the story's Biblical ties. DescriptionA powerful six-week study, revealing life-changing Bible truths, to the classic bestselling novel 'Redeeming Love'. ![]() ![]() “ However that may be,” said the sailor, “as sure as my name is Bonadventure Pencroft, of the Vineyard, our ‘Bonadventure’ has sailed without us!” The sailor was positive that neither Gideon Spilett nor Herbert could dispute his statement. “ Do you think, they would risk themselves in a boat of such small tonnage?” “We must, besides, be sure that they know of the islet,” rejoined the reporter. I repeat that some one has been using our vessel!” “But if the convicts had used her, they would have pillaged her, or rather gone off with her.” “Gone off! where to-to Tabor Island?” replied Pencroft. ![]() “I know nothing about that,” answered Pencroft, “but what is certain, is that some one has weighed the ‘Bonadventure’s’ anchor and dropped it again! And look here, here is another proof! The cable of the anchor has been run out, and its service is no longer at the hawse-hole. ![]() “My hand does it so naturally, and one’s hand is never mistaken!” “ Then can the convicts have been on board?” asked Herbert. ![]() You must be mistaken, Pencroft.” “I am not mistaken!” declared the sailor. ![]() ![]() Pete, the cat who couldn’t care less, celebrates Christmas with his inimitable lassitude. As in the previous story, there are tiny hidden pictures to search for in each illustration. ![]() The snowmen are quite lively for characters with no legs and twig-thin arms, and they really do seem to have lives of their own that exist on some other icy plane. The illustrations are infused with mysterious blue or lavender light that highlights the rounded figures of the snow people, with lots of additional sparkling effects from the town’s Christmas lights and streetlights. Carols around the tree conclude the festivities and the snow folk take up their proper posts again just before the sun rises. They decorate a tree, play games and enjoy icy-cold snacks (snow cones, of course) before the snowman Santa arrives with presents made of snow for all. ![]() The rhyming text describes how the snowmen (and snow women, snow children and one snow dog) gather late at night in the empty town for a holiday gathering. ![]() The husband-and-wife team who created the popular Snowmen at Night revisits their snowy creations to see how snowmen celebrate Christmas. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her in-depth analysis of the dynamics of verbal abuse may be more suited to therapists and researchers than to victims seeking coping advice. She uses real-life situations and dialogue to shed light on this dark, destructive ailment – though she sometimes can be repetitive and unnecessarily complex. ![]() Evans bases her insights and conclusions on extensive research. Patricia Evans unmasks verbal abuse in all its hurtful guises, from the most obvious such as yelling and name-calling, to the covert manipulations of sabotage, double-speak and denial. What makes this type of abuse so insidious is that the victim blames herself, further weakening her self-esteem, instead of placing the responsibility firmly where it belongs – on the abuser. Verbal abuse might not be as visible as physical abuse, but it can be just as damaging.
