A dystopic thriller joins the crowded shelves but doesn't distinguish itself. "Why, you ain't so big, and all you did was fight that 'Bum of the Month Club.'" Gallo, the longtime Daily News columnist and cartoonist, wrote this Ali tribute before he died in 2011.Īli was a heckler to everybody - even to Joe, the man he greatly admired. I saw it turn politicians, captains of industry and Howard Cosell into slack-jawed, Jell-o-kneed sycophants. I saw it dwarf the psyches of absolute-power heads of state like Zaire's Mobuto Seseseko and the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos. I watched Ali press the flesh in Manila and Kuala Lumpur, in Kinshasa and London, in Vegas and New York, saw the magic of his charisma hypnotize Frank Sinatra, the Beatles and enough other entertainment superstars to light up the Hollywood sky. He won the Associated Press Sports Editors' Red Smith Award in 2000. The 85-year-old Izenberg is a member of the Sports Hall of Fame of New Jersey and was a 2000 inductee of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame. Muhammad Ali: Why they called him 'The Greatest' and why I called him my friend by Jerry Izenberg Only about page 200 does there come the decisive insight delivered via his own dream about a patient he names Irma, namely that every dream has meaning because every dream is a wish-fulfilment. The first quarter or so is a vast review of the many, many theories of dreams held by people throughout Western history (seers and prophets and oneiromancers, historical philosophers and writers, right up to present-day psychologists such as Havelock Ellis), with Freud’s own commentary designed to itemise and categorise all aspects of dreams (their confused illogical nature, how we forget them soon after waking and so on). The Interpretation of Dreams may be an epoch-making book but it is far too long, running to 871 pages in the Pelican Freud Library (783 of actual text, 86 of appendix, bibliographies, index of dreams, and general index). Pfaff, quoted on page 134 of The Interpretation of Dreams) Long ‘Tell me some of your dreams and I will tell you about your inner self.’ I understand why other people like it, but I was relieved to move on to my next read and I won’t be back for the sequel. But the pacing was patchy, the theme over-wrought, and getting to the end was a slog. I enjoyed some of the riffs about marketing, and I liked that the characters were older than most YA casts (post-college, first job, still uncertain about money & love). “how the social internet is changing fame and radicalisation how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty and how vilification and adoration can follow a life in the public eye.” I don’t think it’s a bad book, and when I checked the blurb it did say it’s a book about I think I was supposed to forgive April May some of her failings because she was ‘Quirky,’ but really I needed her to be strong enough a character for me to forgive her quirkiness. I can enjoy cutesy, but it needs to earn its place. Maybe that’s why I forgot it? Was it my brain rebelling? Her name put me off in the same way I abandoned (500) Days of Summer halfway through, despite everyone saying I’d love it. I went from addicted, ‘just one more page’ reading sessions to thinking ‘who is this person and do I really care.’ I wanted moar robots but got pages upon pages about internet fame instead.Ī third of the way through I forgot the main characters name, even though she’s called April May. I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for an honest review What I’m reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green It’s also the sequel to Daughter of the Moon Goddess, and the second and final novel in the Celestial Kingdoms duology. Heart of the Sun Warrior is a fantasy novel by Sue Lynn Tan. I received an advanced reading copy of Heart of the Sun Warrior in exchange for an honest review. Xingyin will have to perform more impossible tasks, this time not to free just her mother, but also the rest of the Celestial Kingdoms. The emperor is under evil influences, and Xingyin and her mother are now in the crosshairs. But Xingyin doesn’t have long to consider her feelings before trouble stirs on the moon once again. The half that used to love Wenzhi now hates him, but the other half that loves Liwei knows that her life beside him as his empress would bring her no happiness. After the betrayal of whom she trusted most, she finds her heart broken. However, her return isn’t as peaceful as she would like. She freed her mother, the goddess of the moon, and returned home. Although the romance wasn't central to the story, as it was in If I Stay and the Just One Day duologes, it was threaded throughout to show how different Meg and Cody were to the same guy, hipster guitarist Ben. Without spoiling any specifics, let's just say there's a Catfish-like development that went a step too far for this reader's comfort. The main reason this book isn't getting the typical Forman four- or five-star review is that it includes a dramatic twist that felt both unwise for Cody and unnecessary to the plot. As Cody finds out more about Meg - an indie rock enthusiast who spent a lot of time in small Seattle clubs socializing with budding bands and crushing on players (in both senses of the word) like Ben - she realizes there were layers to her best friend even she didn't know. It's touching when Cody connects with Meg's roommates - Christian stoner Richard, kind computer geek Harry, and free spirit Alice - in a way Meg never did. And for most of the book, Cody's journey is an emotional mystery of figuring out the bits and pieces of Meg's secret college life. Cody's sadness is visceral and haunting Meg was the only friend she had - the only friend she needed. Gayle Forman is known throughout the literary YA community as a master of evoking "the feels" with her stories, and I Was Here definitely delivers on that front. |
