![]() ![]() Another thing I liked was that throughout the story, there was tons of humor which was great. There aren't any books out there that have anything near the same plot line, at least that I've heard, so it was nice to read about something refreshing and unique. I think the best thing about this book was that it was really original. Audrey's narration is equally funny and touching and I felt that I really got to know her by the end of the book. They are all completely realistic and showed the dynamics of teen relationships perfectly. I was absolutely enthralled with Audrey and the other characters in the book. I had heard a lot of great stuff about it and I had high expectations. ![]() I was really excited to get my hands on this book. ![]() But then Audrey and her best friend Victoria start fighting and people begin to turn against Audrey, she wonders if anything will ever be the same. And when she meets cute new guy James, she starts hoping that maybe things can stay relatively normal. With press everywhere and fans as well as haters recording her every move, she just wants to keep living her life. But then Evan and his band write a song about the breakup entitled Audrey, Wait! After the song is played for the first time in a small local venue, its popularity grows and the band rockets to stardom, but much to her dismay, Audrey does too. Audrey didn't think that her breakup with her boyfriend Evan would be a big deal. ![]()

John Roe O'Neill is a molecular biologist who has the knowledge, and now the motivation, to devise and disseminate a genetically carried plague - a plague to which, like those that scourged mankind centuries ago, there is no antidote, but one that zeroes in, unerringly and fatally, on women.Īs the world slowly recognizes the reality of peril, as its politicians and scientists strive desperately to save themselves and their society from the prospect of human extinction, so does Frank Herbert grapple with one of the great themes of contemporary life: the enormous dangers that lurk at the dark edges of science. It tells of one man's revenge, of the man watching from the window who is pushed over the edge of sanity by the senseless murder of his family and who, reappearing several months later as the so-called Madman, unleashes a terrible vengeance upon the human race. The White Plague is a marvelous and terrifyingly plausible blend of fiction and visionary theme. From the second-floor window of a building across the street, a visiting American watches, helpless, as his beloved wife and children are sacrificed in the heat and fire of someone else's cause.įrom this shocking beginning, the author of the phenomenal Dune series has created a masterpiece.

He was notorious for losing letters, even throwing mail away, and not being at the desk when customers came to buy stamps-and he'd give them an attitude like they were interrupting his work by asking him to do his job. He closed the post office whenever he felt like leaving and opened it when he felt like showing up. Most of his time as a postmaster was spent playing cards, writing poems, or drinking. He found the job tedious, boring, and uninspiring-an attitude he didn't even try to hide while at work. Starting in the spring of 1922, Faulkner worked as the postmaster at the University of Mississippi. He may be one of the great American writers, but he was also one of the worst postmasters of his time. ![]() |
