Axis Of Evil invasions and Freemason-operated super-bunkers do not exactly go well with detailed, nominally realistic operations. I can’t blame a genuine veteran for writing what he knows, but come on. The first problem is that the action in this book is too realistic for its own good. Then they fight back with the aid of a Freemason counter-conspiracy. After the EVIL LIBERAL GUN GRABBERS have had their way with the US, the enemy alliance swoops in with computer attacks and unconventional warfare that naturally goes off without a hitch, save for the intervention of the special forces vets who’ve planned and built the lairs and stockpiled the equipment needed (against the advice of their nagging wives, of course). The plot is the same kind of basic invasion novel plot that was old when Teddy Roosevelt was young. The bad news about this book is that Lewis is a Special Forces veteran who brings his biases to it. The good news about this book is that Lewis is a Special Forces veteran who brings his knowledge to it. Robert Patrick Lewis’ The Pact is the tale of Special Forces operators representing the only viable defense against a Russian-Chinese-Iranian invasion of the United States.

Essay Topic: Rape Culture, The Bell Jar Pages: 2 Words: 925 Published: Downloads: 306 Download Print Apocryphally labeled a novel confined to the voracious appetite of mental illness, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath truly explores the societal ills in the role of young women in the 1950s. Such thorough exploration of the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche - and the profound collective loneliness that modern society has yet to find a solution for - is an extraordinary accomplishment, and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that Esther’s neurosis becomes completely understandable and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: young, brilliant, beautiful, and enormously talented, but slowly going under-maybe for the last time. “It is this perfectly wrought prose and the freshness of Plath’s voice in The Bell Jar that make this book enduring in its appeal.” - USA Today St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series)Ī realistic and emotional novel about a woman battling mental illness and societal pressures written by the iconic American writer Sylvia Plath.

It was obvious that Jules’s purpose from early on was to save her father who was slowly running out of time by returning to the Everless manor, which they were forced to flee many years before. While not unique, I do, believe there was the potential to explore this separation of power a bit more to add some much-needed tension. The rich live forever and, the poor are forced to skim hours and days off their life to afford necessities. The characters should weasle their way into my hearts without meeven knowing so at the end they aren’t just characters in a book but they become something more, something real.Įverless fell just short of this for me because even though the depiction of time as a currency was interesting enough, the novel’s execution left much to be desired, especially the main characters. Personally, a good YA should captivate me from the beginning with its unique plotline and its ability to keep me on my toes and constantly guessing. In the ever-evolving world of YA books- Everless was a “Good not great” for me.
