What is great about these works is that they’re based on true events that the author herself lived through when she was a teenager. This is a companion novel to Smile, which I really liked and absolutely recommend. Their relationship doesn’t improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, something doesn’t seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. Amara is cute, but she’s also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. But once Amara is born, things aren’t quite how she expected them to be.

I mean, how does one really make that kind of a judgment?. ![]() He agreed that mothers of autistic children are indeed cold, (as per the ‘refrigerator mother’ theory). He had decent views about eugenics, but then everything went to pot in a matter of a paragraph in the final chapter. I winced at the ‘othering’ language about disabilities but again, expected this is a book of this age. The first major ‘eek’ moment was when the author aired his views about pesticides used on crops, and his opinion of the opponents of them. I have read so many academic papers that hold (and ‘prove’) opposite opinions that I stopped being shocked about this a long time ago. I suppose this demonstrates how different attitudes were 20 years ago, and should be a warning not to place too much literal faith in expert views. Also some very questionable ‘facts’ that are absolutely not factual. However, there were a few horrific moments in the book that almost persuaded me to return it, which were some (not all) of the author’s personal views. Bearing in mind this book is two decades old, I wanted to use it as a background and basic explanation for the genome, which the book did very well. ![]() ![]() ![]() She also wrote books for children, anthologies, and books set in Orsinia. ![]() She also wrote other works that have been set in the Hainish or the Earthsea universe.

While The Clone Wars undergoes plenty of growing pains in Season 1, the series is well on its way to finding its groove in this Paul Dini-penned episode, the conclusion of a three-part arc that puts Ahsoka in a solo spotlight. Read IGN's Star Wars: The Clone Wars review. Watching the movie will also give you a much better appreciation for how much Ahsoka has grown and evolved by the end of the series. The movie sets the tone of the Ahsoka/Anakin dynamic going forward, establishing her as a promising pupil with an independent streak to rival that of her master. While many fans would agree the movie is nowhere near as good as what the show eventually became, it's still important to start here for a proper introduction to Ahsoka. ![]() The Clone Wars began life as a theatrical movie before spinning out into the TV series. 26 Images Star Wars: The Clone Wars Essential Episodes The Clone Wars Movie ![]() ![]() Luckily it also has short chapters, because many times you will want to read just one more before you put it down. Non Stop ActionĪll of these books have non-stop action that will leave you breathless at times. There is enough background and world building in this book to make this series a stand alone if you want. Although I do recommend that one as well.

As the earlier novella "Everything's Eventual" utilized email as a vehicle to hypnotically suggest people into suicide, in Cell, cell phone users are suddenly affected by something known as The Pulse, turning them instantly into mindless, zombie-like creatures: primitive, aggressive, and brutally violent. ![]() Cell, King's first full-length work of fiction since the finale of the Dark Tower series, examines a different sort of technological horror: the destructive possibilities of mass communication. Later, longer works like The Tommyknockers and The Waste Lands are more nuanced, looking more deeply at the way people interact with technology that they don't understand. Early works like "Trucks" and "The Mangler" (later collected in Night Shift) explore the horrors of machinery out of human control. Technology has always unnerved Stephen King.
