Backbiters by Debra Leea Glasheen

By guyslitwire.blogspot.com
Published On :: Wed, 01 Nov 2017 13:00:00 +0000

Guiluli is a Red Mighty, a mutation of humans born from the Corporate World War. After 54 years of existence, Pre-ev (non mutated) humans still don't much like the Red Mighties and as a result, the Red Mighties have created their own Nationland.

Despite all of the world's natural resources being either consumed or poisoned by the war, the Nationland has cleaned up its land, so they have pure water and soil free of contaminants in which to grow food. Yet another reason for those off the Nationland to dislike the Red Mighties.

I like the idea of the evolved/mutated species emerging from a human race destroyed by its own vices and desires. It seems that hominids may be ripe for another evolutionary step, after all we have been homo sapiens for a while now. Maybe this is the next step.

This is an interesting twist on a typical dystopian novel in that I feel there is way more hope of a future that isn't just trying to exist day to day but actually thrive as a civilization. The possibility of cleaning up what we have destroyed. Backbiters is a great read for those that enjoyed the Hunger Games, Divergent, Not a Drop to Drink.

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

By guyslitwire.blogspot.com
Published On :: Wed, 08 Nov 2017 16:01:00 +0000

This book. This book is grounded inside its main character's mind and body in an almost visceral way, and if you've ever had a "crazy" friend--and who hasn't, but I mean one who is actually diagnosed with anxiety disorder and/or OCD--even though this book is entertaining and wonderful and all the things good fiction should be, it will help you to "get" them in a way they might not have been able to articulate to you.

Aza is the star of the show. Or maybe she's not. She's so stuck inside her head, where twisty thoughts and logic have her spinning about the bacteria in her body and how it might just take over and kill her, that maybe she's the victim. Worse, maybe she is the bad guy. And the victim. And the star.

Life is complicated.

Aza is lucky in that she has a best friend, Daisy. Daisy, who talks all. the. time. but who sticks by Aza even though Aza isn't easy to stick by. So when Daisy suggests that she and Aza make like Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden to solve the mystery of the missing billionaire, Aza goes along with it.

Things happen. So many things. And I don't want to talk about any of them, really, because it would spoil this book, which unspools almost magically. It starts from a very clenched place and almost literally unwinds to a a better stasis.

Read it. Read it to find out what role Aza plays in her own life. To see if she can find her way out of her own head, at least a little. And to find out what the title means: "turtles all the way down."

So yeah - consider this review the equivalent of me standing next to you, shoving this book into your hands, making almost uncomfortable levels of eye contact while imploring you to read it.

But really. Read it.

Dreamland Burning by Jennifer Latham

By guyslitwire.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 13 Nov 2017 16:00:00 +0000





Mark Twain famously said (or, more likely, famously didn’t say), “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” This truth is made clear in Jennifer Latham’s searing young adult novel, Dreamland. What rhymes with all too much clarity in Latham’s story is how our nation continues to fall far short of its aspirational tale of freedom and justice for all. Dreamland is the tale of one city in two different time periods, one historical and one present-day. That city is Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the historical time period is one that has been whitewashed out of too many history books.

In 1921, the city of Tulsa contained a thriving African-American community known as Greenwood. Though Greenwood thrived commercially and culturally, its residents still knew what it was to be the “other.” Will Tillman also knows something of what it means to be “other,” as he is the biracial teenage son of a white father and a mother who is a full-blooded member of the Osage Nation. Working for his father brings Will into contact with the African-American community, albeit in quiet defiance of Jim Crow laws. But his work also brings Will into contact with other members of Tulsa’s white business community, members eager to bring the noxious ideals of the Klan to the forefront of Tulsa’s civic life. Students of history will already know what happened in Tulsa in 1921, but even they will benefit from the historical detail Latham includes in her fictional narrative. What happened in the city remains a national shame, while what happens to Will Tillman and Latham's other characters in 1921 remains a mystery.

In present-day Tulsa, Rowan Chase, herself a biracial teenager with an African-American mother and a white father, finds herself connected to this deadly mystery when the renovation of her family’s home uncovers a skeleton. While Rowan and her friend James seek historical answers, the present starts rhyming in ominous ways, and Rowan is forced to confront the racial tensions that still exist in Tulsa and elsewhere in our nation.

Skillfully switching chapters, narrators, and time eras, Latham convincingly demonstrates how American carnage is not a new phenomenon. The means and methods may have changed, but the racial injustice remains. Latham also convincingly shows how individual acts of courage and conscience can lead to larger positive cultural change, however slow and halting that change may be.


Novels matter—just because they aren't "true" doesn't mean they aren't truth.  And novels like Dreamland push history to rhyme on the truths rather than the myths, helping the arc of justice straighten and move forward, . As Rowan says early in the novel, the stories are there to be told—we just need the living to listen.  Dreamland is a story well worth listening to.

Nyxia by Scott Reintgen

By guyslitwire.blogspot.com
Published On :: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 15:57:00 +0000

Emmett is a humble teen from Detroit. His family has been downtrodden for generations, working menial jobs after menial jobs and he isn't showing much to prove that he can break the cycle that has plagued his family.

One day however, he gets a chance to go to a strange planet to work with an alien people called Adamites. However, there's a catch- he is going to have to compete for his spot against teens from around the world each as hungry as he is to make the cut. Babel, the company who is sponsoring the trip promises a big payout if they can succeed.

Thus begins a gauntlet of events in groups and alone that sees the teens become hardened and their skills improve. The group has many distinct personalities some of which don't mesh and the inevitable conflicts arise.

The tasks the kids are asked to do test their limits in many ways but perhaps the most difficult is manipulating the alien substance, nyxia. For some reason the substance also reminded me of the alien symbiote that Spiderman encountered in his whole Venom story arc because soon the line between manipulator and that which is being manipulated becomes blurred.

Babel is a mysterious company and the folks in charge seem to have a ton of secrets themselves. There definitely seems to be some larger plan in place-the reason the kids have been recruited is because the Adamites like children. I can't wait to see what else is in store for Emmett on Eden. Some read alikes to this book are the Maze Runner series and Philip Reeve's Railhead.

The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

By guyslitwire.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 17:00:00 +0000




Lyrical, visceral, and wise, The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz haunts the melancholy middle between heartbreak and hope.

Salvador confronts his senior year and the anxiety that accompanies this countdown to supposed independence—questions of college and new beginnings and one’s true place in this world. Add to these the accumulating stressors particular to Sal’s life: homophobic slurs against his openly gay adopted father, feeling Mexican-American but looking white, the deteriorating health of his beloved grandmother Mimi, the deteriorating home life of his friend Fito, the devastating loss experienced by his best friend Samantha.

Not surprisingly, Sal finds himself greeting more days with fists and tears. Sal desperately wants to find himself in the larger sense, but as Sáenz deftly demonstrates in this young adult novel, all growth is loss—a truth that can make growth a daunting task.

With one of many eloquent words of wisdom, Sal’s father tells him early on we must “find a way to discipline our hearts so that their cruelty doesn’t turn us into hurt animals” (13). But how do we discipline our hearts without hardening them? How do we fight the darkness without devolving into darkness ourselves?

In Sal’s case, he scrapes together every illuminating spark: the tenacity of Fito, the loyalty of Sam, the grace of his father, the serenity of his grandmother. And through the spark of The Inexplicable Logic of My Life and Sáenz’s luminous prose, we learn anew how family is forged by more than blood—and though who we are is our life’s work, identity is never a solitary act.

Doplatek cestovce za zrušený zájezd je nemorální, zlobí se Dostálová

Zákon, díky němuž mohou cestovky místo vracení peněz nabízet vouchery, podle ombudsmana Stanislava Křečka nechrání jejich klienty. Poukazuje přitom na případ rodiny, která musí cestovní kanceláři naopak doplácet za dovolenou, která se nejspíš neuskuteční. Podle ministryně Kláry Dostálové může být takové jednání nekalou obchodní praktikou.
