Round 1
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
-Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
They never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.
-The Shadows Between Us, Tricia Levenseller
The abduction of a child by a stranger is every parent's worst nightmare. But statistically it is a highly unusual event. Children are actually most at risk of harm and abuse from a family member behind closed doors, and while the outside world might seem threatening, the truth is that most strangers are decent people, whereas the home can be the most dangerous place of all. The man stalking six-year-old Neil Spencer across the waste ground understood that only too well.
-The Whisper Man, Alex North

Alex North is one of the preeminent Hollywood soundtrack composers. On this mp3 cd I have The Sound & The Fury (1959) OST, Street Car Named Desire (1951), Passover Plot (1976) OST, and Penitent (1988). He brought a jazzy sensibility to his work that was a departure for the usual overly-elegant string orchestra music that dominated the movies. Modern music that doesn’t need the movie to be…

Not as good as his first book. I caught the one line of the Whisper Man mentioned and I was excited read that. I think I was making myself scared more than the book really was. I will be reading the next book. I might have held this to a higher standard than I should have. This book will go onto the bookshelf for my students to read.

Again, I need to pay attention to the artwork on the cover. I missed the figures, again.

Spartacus (film)
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo fatto un piccolo cambio, parlando di un’opera letteraria scritta da un’autrice che ormai conosciamo molto bene sul blog, Galatea di Madeline Miller. In questa reinterpretazione del mito di Pigmalione non si parla più di una storia d’amore tra lo scultore e la sua creazione, Galatea, la statua che prende vita grazie alla dea, ma…

And even though Pete was all but lost in deeper dreams by then, he sensed the embrace, or at least imagined he did, and for a moment he felt understood and forgiven. As though a cycle had been completed, or something found. - The Whisper Man, Alex North
