Mullin knows where he’s going with the story and if the second book was this good, I can only imagine how amazing the third one will be! I’m so looking forward to the third book in the trilogy, specially because I know that Mr. You cannot do stupid shit all the time and expect it to work out! He’s still a bit too naive and good-natured for his own good though so I was glad to see him pay dearly for his impulsiveness. ![]() ![]() I don’t think this is a good as Ashfall because Alex’ character is settled and he’s far away from the self-centered young man we met at the beginning of the first book. ![]() You cannot doubt that if something like that were to happen, the human race would devolve to its most base instincts. The societal breakdown and the lawlessness are so frightening because their portrayal is so real. In the road they learn how far some people are willing to go to survive. If you read the previous book and know how it ended, you wouldn’t be surprised that in this one Alex and Darla go back to Iowa to look for his parents. ![]() Mullin really knew where he was going because this book was so exciting and action packed that I had my heart in my mouth for like 20 chapters straight. This is the best second book in a trilogy I’ve ever read. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Jake reconciles ancient traditions with our modern times, his recipes become a celebration of a rich and vibrant history, a love story of blending cultures, and an invitation to gather around the table and create new memories with family, friends, and loved ones.ġ00 updated classic and all-new Jewish-style recipes from a bright new star in the food community.

Meaning, the story doesn't limit itself to Pi. In the title, Martel reminds us both of the continuity of life and the openness of Pi's story. Pi himself might not be immortal, but his story is. That would have denoted a single life." ( Jennie Renton, "Yann Martel Interview") And so I didn't make the title The Life of Pi: I deliberately left out the definite article. But why isn’t it called ‘the life of Pi’? There's also the glorious Parisian swimming pool, the Piscine Molitor, which apparently made a lasting impression on Pi's uncle, Mamaji. For starters, there's π, the "elusive, irrational number with which scientists try to understand the universe" (1.5.41). ![]() Pi's name has a few rich associations in the novel. Explanation: The title, of course, refers to our protagonist Pi, whose full name is Piscine Molitor Patel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kindred does for Neanderthals what Sapiens did for us, revealing a deeper, more nuanced story where humanity itself is our ancient, shared inheritance. Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond mortality. Much of what defines us was also in Neanderthals, and their DNA is still inside us. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. Since their discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins.Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside cliches of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. ![]() 'Beautiful, evocative, authoritative.' Professor Brian Cox 'Important reading not just for anyone interested in these ancient cousins of ours, but also for anyone interested in humanity.' Yuval Noah Harari Kindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each night, the narrator goes into the old man’s room as he sleeps, intending to kill him.
