Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 28, 2017
The millions of fans of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy have something to be very happy about this season: the start of a new trilogy, companion to the first, called “The Book of Dust.”

Pullman’s invented universe is a wonder to behold, but so is the meticulously drawn world of New York City in Julia Wertz’s graphic homage, “Tenements, Towers & Trash.”

Some treasures to behold this week:

It took me a while to get into this book. I stopped and started the book around five times, but as soon as it picked up, I devoured it. I liked Lisbeth and Mikael as characters. It was graphic, but her revenge was perfect against the creeper. I did like the resolution of everything, though, I did figure it out before the end. But, I still enjoyed it.

Collecting 4 parts of a series together in one publication, this narrative is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the new species have evolved and survived. The story follows Ana as the hunter-gatherer for her community and using AI guns follows an action-adventure format. A well illustrated and engaging graphic novel it is not always easy to follow, but then life isn't always straight forwards either.

Edited on 07/01/19: The graphic novel sticks pretty close to the source material, too!!

<original review>

One of the best books I've (re)read in a long time, "Storm Front" introduces us to the world of Harry Dresden, paranormal investigator for hire.

Superb entry in a new series by (to me) a new author: I think I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future entries!

Interesting movie. I wouldn't have called it amazing, but the whole movie kept me at my toes all the way through.

Some scenes can be pretty graphic - so warning for the faint hearted.
I loved the western side of it, and the adventure they endeavour, following by a hero who tries to save his girl.

Definitely worth watching - as it's quite unique in its own way, and one-of-a-kind.

Movie Favorite Watch

"Brian DePalma’s breakthrough thriller pays homage to several Hitchcock classics—Rear Window and Psycho, mostly—in a genuinely innovative manner, with jittery, counter-culture-ish New York wiseass humor rather than Hitch’s British wryness, an interesting set of mirror image antagonists in peculiar twins played by Margot Kidder (with a seductively odd French-Canadian accent), and nosy reporter Jennifer Salt. It has graphic shocks but also stretches of hallucinatory strangeness."
