Come 2020, Hope’s unnamed novelist realises she must now factor Covid into her fears of societal collapse In this particular story Dwayne and his ghost writer takes the reader on what it took to turn from a 3rd gen wrestler's kid to becoming one of the more recognizable names in the wrestling business. As a result there is a bit of everything family life, failures, successes, challenges and the true grittiness of being a traveling performer trying to make a name as this all takes place before his Hollywood debut. As a result even for a non-wrestler I found it quite interesting, especially with the respect that he shows some of his fellow wrestlers. Found his stories of his Football career very interesting, especially since I know so little about it, and how tough it can be to make it in the big leagues, and also his love conquests? especially his first relationship? ... really was a different time it seems? plus his reflections on Owen Hart were really touching, it felt so genuine, which isn't always the case when it comes to this awful tragedy. When you talk about military science fiction, two of the names you frequently hear mentioned are Robert Doherty and Bob Mayer. That's quite a coincidence, because both are New York Times best- selling authors of the genre. Both are also West Point graduates and former U.S. Army Green Berets. And both...well, they're both the same man. The book description must have been written by someone who hadn't read the book. The special forces guy is American not Colombian and the housewife is a brilliant analyst.
In her award-winning first two novels, 2009’s After the Fire, A Still Small Voice and 2013’s All the Birds Singing, Anglo-Australian author Evie Wyld wrote with intensity and precision about toxic masculinity and emotional damage. The past was always snapping at the heels of her characters, coming to hunt them down.
Morrissey: ‘Autobiography’ (2013)
Eventually, these stop-start narratives return the reader to 2020, when Hope’s unnamed novelist, already kept awake at night by the climate emergency, realises she must now factor Covid into her fears of societal collapse. The characters who came before her turned to drugs, ancestral stories and faith in the face of crisis; what she has is belief in her young daughter. It is both not much and everything. In spite of that statement, this short book was disappointing in many ways. It tried to be a bite size biography/lesson book about an inspirational contemporary figure. A beginner chapter book The Magic School Bus Voyage to the Volcano is a fun tale of what happens when the kids and Miss Fizz venture to visit the volcanoes in Hawaii.
Aimed at young children Curious about Fossils provides a great introduction to fossils including information about their Victorian discovery and doesn’t just cover fossils being dinosaurs so looks at plant fossils, sea creatures and even common fossils like sharks teeth.This is very edge of your seat, gripping reading, it reminds me a bit of Matthew Reilly's books with far less explosions. The main character is Hawkins, an American military guy who is working for a shady government organisation directly for the president. He is sent to Australia to aid with solving a mystery of a message received worldwide but not understood. Some of the team belong to another shadowy organisation called the Hermes project. They work together to save the world from they know not what. Learn about planet Earth from Earth herself in this picture book ideal for younger readers (beginning school age) in Earth My First 4.54 Billion Years. Covering the formation of the planet, movement of the continents and more this is filled with images and has extra snippets of information about the earth. I'm afraid that this was neither informative in any way nor inspiring, interesting or engaging for the reader. I grew up watching WWE when it was still known as the WWF. I still consider it the glory days of wrestling. The bullshit "talent" they've got now - aside from the wrestlers from the WWF days - are all a bunch of boring pissants with abs. It's cringey to watch. Firstly, it contains a very rushed enumeration of Johnson's personal life (less so) and career achievements (a long list that here resembles more a shopping list) that made me skim really fast through them and lose my attention while reading.
