Oh Jesse,
of course I mean Gone Girl.
Ginger,
I echo your frustrations. In addition to what you typed, I think there is a very interesting story about how
power corrupts and the role of nature vs nurture. I was pretty struck when it was revealed in the 2nd (?) book that Amity was drugging its citizens regularly to maintain order. While the threat of living outside the margins of society was imposed to keep all factions in line. The dominance, control, oppression themes had interesting possibilities that fell by the wayside in the 3rd book
.
le nubian, I totally agree with you on Amity in the second book. I think I actually re-read that part, because my brain went, "What, WHAT do they do???"
Random interruption to post this link to a group of prints re-imagining Game of Thrones as Japanese Woodblock prints.
Three sent to your profile addy. You just click on the attachments and save them and they'll play on anything that runs an MP3.
Meant to reply sooner, but I'm behind on my profile address. I got two emails (they ended up in my junk folder & it took me a while to parse the sender name). Does on of them have two recordings? Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but thanks a lot!
-t - I absolutely want prints of the prints. . .
They're really evocative of the source material! Very cool.
RIP Dailey. My parents both liked her writing.
The plagiarism was, obviously, a huge betrayal, but early on she really did pioneer the romance genre for American women.
