![]() Yeah I set my expectations to high but amazon claimed the author to be the "father" of a region's emerging genre of books. Lastly future books drags the story so much, like watching someone do a let's play of Skyrim do all the sidequests. I mean shouting "what does the fox say" all alone in the middle of nowhere with nobody in sight, it's actually depressing and cringey if you think about it. The comedy is kinda cringey to me, a lot of people like it but I personally didn't like the memes since it relies heavily on the reader liking those memes. He doesnt even wonder what happened to Earth when he transported to the new world, no mention of family, his job, maybe pets, or even the friends he was playing with when just before being transported. Also the guy that introduces the MC to the world stresses over and over that the place is no longer a game, but well it still is, status screens, quests, no perma death, food clothing shelter ain't a problem, it became super easy for him to learn trades and skills that would take months or years in Earth, many more stuff you'd expect in a game conveniently tailored for a player's comfort. ![]() I mean, I didn't expect it to be sci-fi or anything but shouldn't it be a bit more varied? Like a fusion fantasy or something. ![]() However, I don't see how a place supposedly more advance than Earth results to a medieval high fantasy setting. ![]() ![]() The setup and prolougue are both welldone and interesting, which is probably why a lot of people got hooked. I don't think the it justifies the author being called "The father of American LitRPG". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There will be glorious communion, and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will perform in public for the very first time. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his uncle’s death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle’s memory. Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame.

He interviews hundreds of first-hand participants. Guralnick’s research is breathtaking and his eye for detail extraordinary. ![]() Why the poverty he was born into was so critical to his story. We are shown the societal and cultural forces that shape Presley. It’s the period many believe to be the most important in Elvis’s short life. This volume chronicles Elvis from his birth to his induction into the army in 1958. It truly feels like you are experiencing the Elvis explosion as it unfolds in real time. As Guralnick says, he wanted to “…keep the story in ‘real’ time, to allow the characters to freely breathe with their own air, to avoid imposing the judgment of another age… with all the homeliness and beauty that everyday life entails.” His take on Elvis is fresh, it sweeps you along with the propulsion of great fiction. So much has been written about Elvis you would think there is nothing left to be said or uncovered. The phenomenon of Presley is irresistible to me. But this volume turned me into an intensely curious fan. There’s a lot of his music I like and a lot I dislike. Until I read this book, I was a casual Elvis fan. So when I say the Last Train To Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley (1994) is one of the best biographies I have ever read – maybe the best – that’s saying something. Aside from the subject of advertising, the largest category in my book collection is biographies. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Ariekei have two speaking orifices and utter their language through both simultaneously for them, language, thought and reality are inseparable, hence they cannot understand the speech of individual humans, tell lies or speculate.

These descriptions and explanations are a manifestation of logos, since they establish a clear connection between the error in youth and their influence on the future. ![]() She also describes the effect of decisions made in this age on the future and advises correcting the situation here and now. For this purpose, Jay divides her work into three parts, in which she explains the reasons for people’s failures in career, personal life, and self-development. Jay illustrates how young people feel at this age because they miss the chance to build a career, family, and find their place in life. The author uses rhetorical appeals such as ethos and pathos by telling the stories of her patients, which help establish credibility, and the emotions that she describes are conveyed to readers and reflected in their minds. ![]() The main idea of Jay’s book is to demonstrate the consequences of “twentysomething” free culture and ways of preventing and dealing with them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I haven’t actually read a series not in the order it was published before but it’s kind of confusing how much back and forth she does.
