NOTE FOR MY DEAR WONDERFUL BOOK BUYERS.8/10/12 AND THE SAGA CONTINUES. ![]() ![]() There’s poison in the Caville court, and if Nikolas doesn’t discover the real reason Prince Vasili tried to buy him with a bag of coin, the palace, the city, and everything he loves, will be lost forever. The king is on his deathbed, the ferocious elves are creeping closer to the great city of Loreen, and madness stalks the hallways. If Nikolas doesn’t submit to Prince Vasili and discover who is plotting against him, Julian will suffer.īut there’s more wrong in the palace than just the prince. Nikolas would kill the prince himself if not for one thing: Julian, the prince’s personal guard and Niko’s light in the dark. Malicious and cruel, the prince is more viper than man, and someone inside the palace wants him dead. Prince Vasili is the worst Caville of all. Whipped for his insolence, Nikolas is also forced into slavery in a palace full of vicious, brutal royals. Prince Vasili Caville When King Talos Caville surrendered the war to the elves, soldier Nikolas Yazdan vowed never to serve the royals again. He said the same to the prince who tried to buy his loyalty, and learned that the Caville princes don’t take no for an answer.

I’m not at all religious, but I appreciated that there were thoughtful, reasonable Christian characters alongside the more fervently hard-line orthodox ones–making all the religious characters in a story into super-devoted nutjobs usually seems like a cheap shot to me. Occasionally the treatment of these subjects gets a little heavy-handed, but for the most part I can see that this was done with good intentions, and there’s a good amount of balance between viewpoints. There’s mention of physical and emotional abuse, neglect, abortion, suicide–all the fun stuff that makes this book so bannable. ![]() But then Sarah Byrnes shuts down and checks into a mental hospital, and Eric makes it his job to find out what’s going on. You can tell just from the back-cover book summary that Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes is an Issue Book: overweight highschooler Eric “Moby” (as in Dick) Calhoune has been friends with tough, snarky, majorly-scarred childhood burn victim Sarah Byrnes for a long time, and he even upped his caloric intake when he joins the school swim team and starts getting in shape so that Sarah Byrnes won’t think he’s going to ditch her once he’s not fat anymore. ![]() In the spirit of Banned Books Week, on Monday I went by the library and picked up a challenged YA classic: Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, by Chris Crutcher. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Resourceful, resilient, and quick-thinking, Pellow was selected by Moulay Ismail for special treatment, and was one of the fortunate few who survived to tell his tale. Pellow and his shipmates were bought by the tyrannical sultan of Morocco, Moulay Ismail, who was constructing an imperial palace of such scale and grandeur that it would surpass every other building in the world, a palace built entirely by Christian slave labor. Thousands of Europeans had been snatched from their homes and taken in chains to the great slave markets of Algiers, Tunis, and Sale in Morocco, where they were sold at auction to the highest bidder. France, Spain, England, and Italy had suffered a series of devastating attacks. Their captors-Ali Hakem and his network of Islamic slave traders-had declared war on the whole of Christendom. In the summer of 1716, a Cornish cabin boy named Thomas Pellow and fifty-one of his comrades were captured at sea by Barbary corsairs. White Gold is the remarkable true story of white European slaves in eighteenth-century Algiers, Tunis, and Morocco, told in inimitable style by one of our finest popular historians. ![]() ![]() While funny and charming, it still retains a lot of the aforementioned menace and that's what makes it memorable. And this story has that similar darkly comic, almost deviant quality. Sure, I love his serious work, but if you offer me a choice between Promethea or, say, Smax, then I'm going for Smax every time. What I love out of this story is that this is the Alan Moore that I enjoy the most the humorous subversive Alan Moore. This Moore tale is simply 23 pages of what a mentally sick Batman villain gets up to when he isn't trying to take over Gotham (and then the world). ![]() And any story involving a man involved in an intense, implied sexual relationship with a life-size doll is just, plain, wrong. It's very dark, it has got a chilling underlying nastiness about the situation, that implies abuse. To be fair, I'm not really doing the story justice. Of course, jealousy and murder is the only real outcome and the Batman has to come in and sort out this domestic arrangement. While secretly living under a table during opening hours, his new relationship blossoms and sours. Because Clayface is a bit deranged to start with, he believes that her alluring gaze as a sign of affection and then decides to move in. One of these is an almost forgotten tale that featured in Batman Annual #11, and was released in 1987.Ĭlayface falls in love with a mannequin he sees in a department store window. ![]() Alan Moore, as far as I am aware, has only written a handful of Batman Stories. ![]() ![]() “I never deliberately learned to read…….Now that I was compelled to think about it, reading was something that just came to me, as learning to fasten the seat of my union suit without looking around, or achieving two bows from a snarl of shoelaces.
