In 1900, inspired in part by the success of Helen Bannerman's The Story of Little Black Sambo, Potter decided to develop the story into a small book with accompanying pictures. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first conceived of in a picture letter sent to Noel Moore on 4 September 1893. ⁂ The first edition of one of the most important and enduring children's books of the 20th century, the present work launched the hugely successful Peter Rabbit series, as well as a wide range of popular associated merchandise.

Two things that I love – travel in Europe, and YA novels. In Debord’s reading of history, “ the bourgeoisie is the only revolutionary class that has ever won and it is also the only class for which the development of the economy was both the cause and the consequence of its taking control of society.” The revolutions of the previous centuries were economic in nature, replacing kings with merchant princes. And despite their pretensions, communist societies had the same goals as every modern nation - wealth, prosperity, innovation, and growth. Unsurprisingly, capitalism is the best system for the accumulation of capital. But as a real Marxist, he had already arrived at what would become the historical consensus - communism, as practiced, was merely an inferior cousin to its free market foes. The Soviet Union was very much a superpower, and Nixon had yet to go to China. It might seem strange for Debord to declare capitalism victorious at the height of the Cold War. What Debord describes is really a combination of two things the total triumph of capitalism, and the rise of mass media. The spectacle is never outright defined or rather, the entire book is a series of definitions, each approaching from a different angle. There’s drama on this book but again, I loved it. They play a big role and standout so much in Twisted Bonds but the author was able to make them have a strong presence without overshadow Nino and Kiara. Nino’s devotion to Kiara is so adorable specially coming from someone who repressed emotions.īut what I really loved about this book, was the secondary characters. They’re a very balanced couple and I loved how they stay strong and side by side, supporting each other, chasing away their fears together. I really liked Kiara, she finally came out of her shell and became someone confident, strong, outspoken and even thought I didn’t agree with some things, her sweet innocent nature is the perfect fit for Nino. He changed since Twisted Emotions yet still feels the same Nino, still truthful to himself and it was nice to follow him in this journey of self discovery. We get to see them evolving individually and as couple, and I absolutely fell in love with Nino. While I felt there was something missing in Twisted Emotions, this book filled those blank spaces. I didn’t connect that fast with Kiara and Nino in Twisted Emotions (love the book) but it changed with Twisted Bonds. The books starts where Twisted Emotions ended and catches Twisted Pride events so I really advice people to read the previous books before starting this one. Twisted Bonds is the continuation of Twisted Emotions, Nino and Kiara’s story.

Touching on his beginnings in Winnipeg, through a time in Toronto, and on to L.A., where he hooks up with Stephen Stills for the formation and disintegration of Buffalo Springfield, Shakey concentrates on Young's most fertile and successful period, his time as a solo artist in the Seventies. Given that, Shakey reads more like a ramble than a historical document. You also sense that's exactly the way Young wanted it. While the author attempts to research Young's life in great depth, one often gets the feeling he's just scratching the surface. While he tries to keep things chronological, at times he gets ahead of himself and jumps around, so following him is occasionally frustrating. There are a number of problems with the way Jimmy McDonough tells the story. Random House, 800 pp., $29.95 Who's going to read 800 pages on Neil Young?

Shakey, which takes its title from a nickname given to Young, who was susceptible to epileptic fits early in his music career, is an interesting, if at times infuriating, read.
