![]() Thank you Jason and Kristen for this wonderful and amazing ride. It gives readers, like myself, a chance to use our imaginations. ![]() What I love most of all about the ending of this trilogy is that there’s no definitive ending you know these characters and this world go on to other missions outside of the narrative. The writing is faultless, the characters are hard to say goodbye to and you’ll be hitting reset the second you finish. You won’t know who to trust, who will make it out alive or when you’ll next get to catch your breath. If Otherworld is Ready Player One, Otherlife is Bond, Otherlife is Mission Impossible through and through. Even people who shouldn’t really be there. ![]() It’s a story and a journey in its own right and everyone gets time to shine. I’m of the binge watch generation but I’ve got a good memory: get to the new.Īs a reader, we know this has to wrap up in some shape by the final page, but what’s great about this universe by Segel and Miller is that they’re not going to make this all about and ending. There’s little time for a catch up which I, for one, is very grateful for. ![]() Otherearth hits the ground running much like any thriller from the silver screen. I’ve devoured the gripping final and I’ve spent the weekend deep in thought about a series that has been close to my heart since YALC 2016 when I lost my, well everything, upon hearing the premise of Otherworld.

The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. ![]() He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything? If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. ![]() From friends, from family…from the league. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.

There are many other stunning things about Wilson’s translation, from the five-beat lines to the straightforward speech, free from the elegant clunkiness that we usually see when scholars try to carry words over from one language to another. ![]() ![]() I mean that seriously, not sardonically: what does it matter that a woman has finally translated the Odyssey into English, Caroline Alexander having become the first woman to tackle the Iliad (in English) only a year before? That it’s largely uncharted territory, like the waters Odysseus traverses for a decade? You can already imagine, practically hear, the whining that Wilson is not, actually, the first woman to translate the Odyssey, just the first to do so into English - as if there’s room for only one woman within a boys’ club of Homer translators, as if the addition of another translation by a woman, especially into a language that reaches a wide audience, isn’t a stunning achievement.Īnd that rage alone should convince you that it is one. ![]() Norton & Company, $30.73/£30.00) is the first rendering of the text into English by a woman.

Eventually, Norman learns that Flora Carr, the crippled wife of his rival for the chairmanship of the sociology department, is also a practitioner of witchcraft and has hypnotized Tansy into obeying her commands. When he brings her home, she attempts to kill him and later turns on the wife of one of his colleagues. ![]() Then, one evening, Tansy disappears Norman finds her nearly dead in a graveyard. Following Tansy's warning that his action has left him vulnerable to evil forces, Norman's luck changes: a girl student charges him with rape, her boyfriend threatens him, and his car runs into a ditch. When he accidentally discovers her secret, he destroys her instruments of black magic. ![]() Tansy Taylor, the wife of an English university professor, secretly practices witchcraft to further her husband, Norman's, career. ![]() ![]() The plot of the novel is far more complex than the film adaptation.

Screenwriter John Irving had the formidable task of condensing his own 550-page novel into a 136-page script for the 1999 film The Cider House Rules. ![]() ![]() But then, they are only espousing what the post-apostolic, institutional church has said. If you go by the New Testament, I think that is wrong. Lewis’ book, Mere Christianity. The primary thrust of both books is their authors assert that Jesus claimed to be God and is God. Strobel’s bestseller, The Case for Christ, is like C. But faith in Jesus as Savior is not the same as believing Jesus is God. Of course, it is interesting to learn stories of people who were atheists and then converted to faith in Jesus. That is what the New Testament is all about.īut no, Strobel was converted and went way beyond these New Testament precepts to proclaim that Jesus is God. He should have begun his journey with the question of whether or not Jesus was Israel’s Messiah sent by God to die for our sins on the cross and arise from the dead, thereby making himself available to us as our Savior from sin by God forgiving us and giving us eternal salvation. ![]() But Strobel began this spiritual quest from the wrong premise–whether or not Jesus is God. Then Lee Strobel came to a place in his life where he looked more deeply into the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. ![]() ![]() You founded Go Test It and Rapportive, and you had been designing and engineering large-scale systems at LinkedIn for a while.
