As a soldier, he is able to give readers a firsthand glimpse into the brutality of war, something that at times, is difficult to read. When one watches a documentary or movie about the civil war, the level of violence shown is a muted version of the reality Watkins recalls. “It is well war is so terrible – otherwise, we would grow too fond of it.” Though the author passed in July of 1901, his lives on as a notable piece of historical literature. Aytch (the “Co.” is pronounced as “company”) is a series of his own recollections of life as a soldier. It should be noted that his regiment entered the war with 3,200 men, and ended with merely 65.

If you like a little bit of a mind trip, as well as a super sexy book, I think that you will like this one as well. The maturity and professionalism of the writing in 'Monster in His Eyes' is off the charts good compared to the previous series, in my opinion. The other two were NOT something I would recommend, ever. I am so glad that I listened! It is fantastic! I read the author's previous two audio books and I cannot believe the change. It is narrated by Lynn Barrington, one of my favorite 'Top Three' female narrators. We are so similar in our tastes that when we compared our libraries they were almost identical. My best audio book friend, Dawn absolutely loved it. Monster in His Eyes sounded very much like that (CJ Roberts) Two things finally swayed me to give it a try. I have listened to the Dark Duet series and it was a really, really, intense, hard trip. I was reluctant to try this book mainly due to the publisher summary.

Then she poses a question about which “will bloom most constantly,” i.e., be a more consistent source of joy. In the first stanza, Bronte compares romantic love to one plant (“the wild rose-briar”) and platonic friendship to another (“the holly-tree”). Let’s start by paraphrasing the poem in prose to make sure we all understand what Emily Bronte is telling us here. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms I’ve previously shared analyses of other Victorian poems, including Gerard Manley Hopkins’s “Pied Beauty,” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “Christmas Bells,” Algernon Charles Swinburne’s “Anactoria,” and Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “The Kraken” and “To Virgil.” Today it’s the turn of Emily Bronte’s “Love and Friendship”.

United under TALON, the dragons amass wealth and power, each one living to fulfill the role designated for him or her by the organization. The dragons, able to change their shape, quickly blended into human society, but never forgetting their true identities. George hunted dragons to near extinction, and forced them into hiding. |
