But with only six months left to choose between marriage and the Sisterhood, she might not be able to keep her word…especially after she finds her mother’s diary, uncovering a secret that could spell her family’s destruction. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship-or an early grave.īefore her mother died, Cate promised to protect her sisters.

Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. ![]() Series: Book 1 in the Cahill Witch ChroniclesĮverybody knows Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps it was easy for Patterson to pump out a batch of novels by putting minimal efforts into the writing. But the idea that started it? Yeah, that was pretty good. Because this book is both terribly plotted and terribly written. What I think he also thought was that if he just word vomited a terribly written book with a decent plot idea behind it, he'd make a lot of money off young readers. And I think Patterson knew that about his premise. A group of kids who were experimented on and escaped? Experiments that resulted in the kids having bird characteristics, wings included? This book sounded great. I remember the first time I found Maximum Ride, I remember being really enamored with the idea behind it. In my experience, that's almost all that he ever writes. And what's depressing is that this isn't even the only poorly written drivel that Patterson has put out there. It truly feels as though Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment exists basically for Patterson to announce to the world that he thinks teenagers are idiots. Over the years, Maximum Ride has kind of stuck with me as an example of precisely how to eviscerate a genuinely intriguing premise with poor writing, shell characters masquerading as people with depth, and general word-vomit. I always want to scream a little bit in frustration whenever I see James Patterson's name on anything, and it's all because of this stupid book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since we recorded, Lisa revealed that Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz are slated to star in the film adaptation of her most recent novel, “Every Note Played.” Tapping into her background as a neuroscientist, Lisa has written five best-selling fiction books, including “Still Alice” (Julianne Moore won an Oscar in 2015 for her role in the film adaptation).

It fills the screen.Īnd it's not just Lecter. We want to turn away from his steady wet unblinking gaze, but we can't. It turns us into Lecter's subjects, butterflies pinned to his specimen board. And he trusted his actors so thoroughly that he took it one step further: Instead of having them pitch their performances slightly to camera left or camera right - a shot so ubiquitous to basic cinematic infrastructure that it barely registers with viewers - he has Hopkins stare down the barrel of the lens. In the reality of the film, of course, he's directing his consummate, artisanal brand of creepiness at Jodie Foster's FBI agent, Clarice Starling.īut Demme, who died this morning, was a filmmaker fascinated by the simple, unadorned power of the tight shot.

Often this is a willing gift, when a reader is seduced by the cover or the synopsis, but there is also a moment when a book takes over. A novel does not exist by itself, it only truly lives when a reader gives up some of their lifeforce in order to vitalise it. I also realised that it made a comment on the relationship between novel and reader.

How would it colour their wedding tour? And how would she find out?Īs I turned the ideas over in my mind, I began to realise that casting Darcy as a vampyre not only took the sequel into the Gothic realm, it also made a statement about the the deathless nature of Pride and Prejudice - and, by extension, literature - and the eternal freshness of its characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is time for Breen to seek out those in desperate need of rescue and confront the darkness with every weapon she has.Īn epic battle is coming.
