![]() ![]() “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing” started out as a graphic novel back in 2013, “but I realized I was waiting for the perfect artist and if I kept doing that, it would never get written,” Green says. “If you have exceptional experiences, why not use them?” he says, describing how his interview with Barack Obama played out in a scene where April talks to the president. Green tapped into his own experiences - and those of friends - for April’s story. I’m actually pretty sleepy,” knows a thing or two about internet fame: “Since 2007, my brother and I have been making videos back and forth to each other (and several hundred thousand people) on a YouTube channel called Vlogbrothers.” Green, who introduces himself on his website by saying diffidently, “I’m Hank, I do a bunch of stuff. By the next morning, the video has gone viral, transforming April into an internet celebrity. 1 - 23-year-old April May, coming home from work late one night in New York City, stumbles upon an enormous metal sculpture planted on the sidewalk, “a 10-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor, its huge barrel chest lifted up to the sky.” She and a friend shoot a video of it, which they upload to YouTube, and go to bed.

Overall, not bad, but I did think Death on the Nile and Evil Under The Sun were better. In the book, she is a bit of a tyrant, in the adaptation, she was portrayed as nasty and cantankerous, but lacked the depth of the character in the book. The same applies for the recent David Suchet version(which was more unfaithful but better musically and visually, and the acting was more solid in that one too), the character of Mrs Boynton was never done quite right, despite the wholly hateable portrayal given by Piper Laurie. But my main gripe with the movie was the character of Mrs Boynton. However, the script isn't that polished, a lot is changed from the book and some of the changes are underdeveloped, the character of Hassan was unnecessary. The film does have some splendid locations, even if Petra was changed to Jerusalem if I remember rightly, and the music was good too. And Lauren Bacall, Carrie Fisher, Jenny Seagrove and John Gielgud give fine support. Speaking of Ustinov, he is excellent here, I had no problem with him. This adaptation isn't terrible, but it is the weakest of Peter Ustinov's outings as Poirot. Agatha Christie's Appointment With Death is not her best book, but is well crafted and a pleasant read. ![]() ![]() ![]() Students can retell the tale of the old lady and all of the things that she swallows using robotics.

He lists American “progressive” organizations he personally funded on behalf of Moscow, he cites ostensibly patriotic leaders who did the KGB’s dirty work for them-especially when they portrayed America as a racist and imperialist country-and warns that the same kinds of deception are being used against us today by Vladimir Putin’s Russia. And in case after case, the KGB (or whatever it called itself) systematically took some grain of truth and expanded it to a totally misleading picture of the West, especially of the United States. Pacepa carefully lays out the historical evidence: no country has survived “socialism,” whether or not it became part of the Soviet Empire. We are not personally acquainted with Donald Trump, but we firmly believe that the whole of America – Republicans and Democrats and fringe thinkers – should unite behind him in order to defend capitalism and our great country during these existentially dangerous times. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ***Author Note*** Assembly is the second book in the Feral Souls Trilogy featuring possessive wolf shifters, a damaged heroine fighting to escape her past, and slow burn romance packed with raw emotion and sizzling tension.
