But rebelling against her parents doesn’t make her an interesting character. She’s a liberal, according to her classmates. There will be no cheering or shouts during the broadcast, no matter how pleasing it may be.”Īnd, okay, Alba isn’t like that. You are all young ladies of the highest breeding. Girls, may I remind you that this is not a football stadium or public square in the South. For Christ’s sake they show scenes of a massacre on TV-a massacre that Seven was present for-and make it abundantly clear that they don’t regret any of it. Seven is, by contrast, the poor thief from the bad part of town-a member of the group of people Alba’s father repeatedly and aggressively wrongs throughout the book. Alba falls into the “rich abused child” trope, whose father is, of course, the book’s main villain. Unfortunately, It did not live up to my hopes. The characters, Alba and Seven, are both bland characters that are rather difficult to relate to. As a result, I was really excited to read this. I read Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan-which was given to me as a Christmas present, along with The Memory Keepers-and I enjoyed it immensely. I would have enjoyed it a LOT when I was young and used to read the novelizations again and again in the time between the movie’s theatrical release and its video release, but as an adult (who still reads Disney novels )), I was hungry for more new, original material - especially since Rudnick did that so well. My biggest disappointment in this book was how much of its events overlapped with the movie’s events - that means that a sizeable chunk of it was essentially a “novelization,” albeit a very good novelization. The book is full of backstory for Anna and Hans that is only hinted at in the movie, gives names and personalities to “bit part” characters, and for the most part does not feel forced or contrived. Anna finds the love she was searching for all along from her sister Elsa.

This is probably the best Disney spinoff novel that I’ve read so far.Ī big part of that is that Rudnick is a good writer, and this book feels like it came from someone who cares enough about her subject matter to really sink into the characters’ thoughts, motivations, and world.

Suddenly Lizzie-who always considered herself a fairly normal young woman-was a public figure. When rich, handsome Bing Lee comes to town, along with his stuck-up friend William Darcy, things really start to get interesting for the Bennets-and for Lizzie’s viewers. What may have started as her grad student thesis grew into so much more, as the videos came to inform and reflect her life and that of her sisters. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries chronicled Lizzie’s life as a twenty-four-year-old grad student, struggling under a mountain of student loans and living at home with her two sisters-beautiful Jane and reckless Lydia. Lizzie Bennet should know, having become a YouTube sensation over the course of her year-long video diary project. The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su, Kate RorickĪ modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice based on the Emmy Award-winning phenomenon, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.There is a great deal that goes into making a video blog. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this for free in exchange for an honest review. I could feel how much Leo wanted to be the man that Scarlett needed and how scared Scarlett was to trust another pro athelete. These two just grabbed ahold of my heart and didn't let go. Leo wants to prove to Scarlett that he is in this 100%. They know they should stay away, but that doesn't mean they do. The coach's daughter is his dream girl and he knows he can't have her. When Scarlett goes to visit her dad, the coach of the Wildcats, only then does she realize that Leo is the guy who never called after their night together and it's big trouble because she will not date anyone in pro sports again after her last boyfriend and that debacle. He's on a series of away games so he doesn't have a chance to follow up with Scarlett, but tells all his teammates about his "dream girl". They don't exchange last names and Leo never tells her who he really is, a pro hockey player that just happens to be a college student as well. After her shift, Leo buys her a drink and the rest of the night. Immediately, he is smitten, especially when he sees her put a guy who is a little too forward in his place. Leo is out with his college friends for trivia night and sees Scarlett bartending. 4.5 stars! As soon as Leo saw Scarlett, I was hooked. We keep seeking for the answers and waiting for them to be revealed.

The controversial nature of the novel and the film has yielded negative reviews which claim the message of Endō’s work is the justification of apostasy and positive reviews which praise the moral ambiguity inherent in the novel devoid of clear black and white solutions. Shūsaku Endō’s novel, Silence, takes place during the shogunate’s persecution of Christians in the 1640s when many Japanese Christians died for the faith. Today marks the 420th anniversary of the twenty-six Japanese martyrs of Nagasaki in 1597 under the Tokugawa shogunate.
