That said, one must make allowances for when it was written, for what audience, and how it would be read.
Why this book: Selected by my Sci Fi Reading Group – when I offered to bring in a friend of mine who is currently in Astronaut training with NASA to discuss it. The people we meet here – the three men who manufactured his “crime” and framed him, the prosecutor who also wanted Dantes out of the picture, and Dante’s fiance – these are people we will get to know again 20 years later when Dantes reappears in disguise as the Count of Monte Cristo to exact his revenge anonymously – at first.If your child knows the alphabet, Bob Books Set 1 is the book to start him or her on the path to reading. He inherited it from his father and now his father’s bum is in the run in hilarious fashion as told by Dawn McMillan and illustrated by her cohort in humour Ross Kinnaird.
Oimer is a young muslim boy with a deformed face, living on a farm in what is now Bulgaria on the route of the Saracen army on its way to lay siege to Constantinople. During his captivity, there had been a successful rescue by Navy SEALs of Jessica Buchanan and Poul Thisted who had been taken hostage and held for ransom after working on a Danish humanitarian project in Somalia. The first story has a very effective robot companion for a little girl, but mother is viscerally opposed to her child having a “relationship” with a machine, and insists that the robot leave the house.I always get a great sense of satisfaction and pleasure from what Bob Books have enabled me to achieve and the way I feel they have enhanced my work. He did lose a lot of followers with some of the political things he said but thankfully these are not mentioned in this book. But this one adds something different to that genre – Moore is a journalist with a flair for keeping his audience engaged, and also his captivity was part of a commercial venture – to make money for the captors. The watercolour illustrations are excellent and enhance the enthusiasm of the littlest lifeguard and his disappointment plus the essential work that lifeguards do and the message of safety from sun and sea. It also has pernicious possibilities as well, which we are already seeing – young people and gamers becoming addicted to the fast paced and stimulating virtual world, and neglecting or ignoring opportunities in the real and natural world, which require effort, persistence and discipline to fully appreciate, and which have qualities all their own.
When people didn’t understand something, they correlated unrelated events to provide a possible explanation. Seymour does not fit in at school, and Bunny who is always under financial stress struggles to understand and support him while working full time to barely make ends meet. Also West Point chose him as their iconic “leader of character” to inspire cadets – even though he didn’t go to West Point. We learn of how she arrived at the name Marilyn Monroe her encounters with Hollywod actors and directors like Zanuck, Sanders, and many others before landing a small part in John Huston’s Asphelt Jungle.
Anna and Oimir two characters of about the same age who live during the period when Constantinople is over-run and conquered by the Saracens and is transformed from a center of Christian worship to a great Muslim city. Because it is very “long form” we get to know the people, their values and prejudices, their joys and sorrows in a way that is not possible in shorter novels. It covers the ecosystems, the wildlife, the treasures, the different types of water and makes connections with our lives. Chamberlain was born in 1828 and grew up on a small farm in rural Maine in the first half of the 19th century, but had unusual curiosity and dedication to learning. Though it is worth seeing how the characters are portrayed, as well as their avatars, and the special effects are pretty amazing, it is not a good substitute for the book.
