The dust-jacket of my second edition proclaims Shute’s gifts as a ‘storyteller’ – which usually implies ‘not much of a stylist’. And though I have now read it half a dozen times, and come to love its combination of far-flung romance, desperate endurance and old-fashioned stoicism, there remains a conundrum at the heart of it which continues to tantalize me, like a stubborn morsel of crabmeat wedged in the corner of a claw. ![]() How, I wondered, could a town possibly be like a person? When I eventually discovered that ‘Alice’ was short for Alice Springs, a remote settlement in the Australian Outback, I was still baffled – for from what I knew of the plot, the novel’s main focus was wartime Malaya. ![]() I first heard of Nevil Shute’s A Town like Alice (1950) when I was a schoolboy, and long before I read it I was fascinated by the title. ![]() ![]() ![]() I left the cinema very disappointed! Disappointment can cloud criticism though, and sometimes makes you bitter towards a movie and not see the positives. Then, in 2001, I got advance tickets and I began to watch one of the most anticipated movies for that year. ![]() Granted, I was never a huge fan of the POTA films, but seeing the potential here for a remake or revision by Burton made my mouth water. Nothing could surely go wrong with Burton in the director's chair. ![]() Why? Better visual effects being 2001 and all, one of my favorite actors in Tim Roth starring in it, and a great director named Tim Burton. When I saw the original, I was fully expecting the remake to kick some serious butt, and be far superior to the 1960s version. Awhile back, I commented on the original 'Planet of the Apes' film prior to seeing this remake at the cinemas. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But as the cost of their wanting becomes more deadly, Finch and Selena must learn to work together to stop the horror they unleashed, before it consumes the entire island.Įvil lurks in the tunnels beneath a small-town Maine prep school in Cottingham's haunting sapphic horror debut. It promises to grant every desire the girls have kept locked away in their insecure hearts-beauty, power, adoration-in exchange for a price: human body parts. One night Finch, Selena, and her friends accidentally summon a carnivorous creature of immense power in the depths of the school. But despite Selena's suspicion, she feels drawn to Finch and has a sinking feeling that from now on the two will be inexplicably linked to one another. Clair sees right through Finch, and she knows something is seriously wrong with her. Finch doesn't know why she woke up after her heart stopped, but since dying she's felt a constant pull from the school and the surrounding town of Rainwater, like something on the island is calling to her. But something monstrous, and ancient, and terrifying, wouldn't let her drown. Months before school started, Finch and her parents got into an accident that should have left her dead at the bottom of the river.

The novel, set in 1861, described adventures of British expedition led by Captain John Hatteras to the North Pole. Captain Hatteras shows many similarities with British explorer John Franklin. Three of Verne's books from 1863-65 (Five Weeks in a Balloon, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and From the Earth to the Moon) were added into the series retroactively. Although it was the first book of the series it was labeled as number two. The definitive version from 1866 was included into Voyages Extraordinaires series (The Extraordinary Voyages). The novel was published for the first time in 1864. The Adventures of Captain Hatteras (French: Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne in two parts: The English at the North Pole (French: Les Anglais au pôle nord) and The desert of ice (French: Le Désert de glace). ![]() ![]() Squirrel Nutkin The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends Īlthough his story never appeared in the anthology series, Nutkin did make a cameo appearance in The Tale of Mr. Nutkin and the other squirrels also appear in the finale of the ballet.

Eventually, Nutkin annoys Old Brown once too often. Every day for six days, the squirrels offer gifts to Old Brown, and every day as well, Nutkin taunts the owl with another sing-song riddle.

They offer resident owl Old Brown a gift and ask his permission to do their nut-collecting on his island.

In Brad Kessler's fine new novel, North (the Overlook Press, $26), the seemingly disparate lives that converge on a snowy Vermont night-Sahro, a Somali refugee seeking asylum, and Father Christopher, the abbot of a mountain monastery-are woven together with intricate threads of home, flight, sanctuary, danger, hope, faith, storytelling and much more. ![]() Spiritual people making hard, practical decisions I'm always intrigued by their stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story follows Maddie, who loves spending summers at her uncle's Inn at Havenfall. Although we may not visit the other worlds mentioned in this book, the author has described them superbly and makes you want to hear more about them (perhaps already building the world for sequels to move in to). The author has given it a nice twist in that it is a fantasy story in essence, with a background of magic and other races/communities, but all set in our own world. I thoroughly enjoyed Havenfall which is just the sort of story that I like to read. ![]() Maas, Melissa Albert and Holly Black, is sure to enthral readers old and new.
