Bu kitap, McQueen'in New York'ta Met'teki çalışmalarının sergisi ile birlikte yayınlandı. Sergiye katılamadığım için kitapla gerçekten ilgilendim. Ne kadar şaşırtıcı ve sanatsal bir tasarımcı olduğuna gerçekten şaşırdım. Kitaba birkaç kez baktım, asla bu kadar inanılmaz parçalarda ooh ve aah'a son vermedim. Yaklaşık bir yıldır dikiş yaptığımdan, bu seviyede kıyafet üretmek için ne tür bir beceri gerektiğini de anlayabilir ve anlayabilirim. McQueen gerçekten vizyoner biriydi ve kendimi gelecekte daha fazla bilgi edinmek için diğer biyografileri aradığımı görüyorum.

Bu gerçekten iyi ve bunu sadece herhangi bir gizem hakkında söylemiyorum. Karakterlerden, ortamdan, arsadan zevk almalıyım ve ben de biraz alaycı mizah atmayı seviyorum. Grabenstein tüm sayılardan puan alıyor. Boyle ve Ceepak, Jersey sahilindeki sıcak suç yatağı olan Sea Haven'da polis olarak ilişkilerini geliştirmeye devam ediyor. Bu arsa önceki kitaplardan bile daha karanlık ve Ceepak'ı Irak anılarıyla yüz yüze getiriyor. Eski bir reklam metni yazarı olan Grabenstein kesinlikle düzgün bir cümle çevirebilir ve Ceepak'ın köpeğinin burnundaki bir bıyığa zarar vermeyecek kadar akıllıdır. Hem Ceepak hem de Boyle için romantik ilişkiler, merak uyandırıcı arsa ve keskin diyalog gibi işleri de devam ettirir.

I love rading this book. My favrite charecter would hare to be kaytliyn. SHe is qoquite peice of work. Any one with a brain could tell there was some attraction betweeen her and Gabriel. ALl through the book I had high hopes for them. I wantted her to get over her "relationship" with Rob. ROb isnt Gabriel. Gabriel just has that appeal. Ob is a goody toshoes. I dont even think ROb can hande Kaite. I know for certain Gabreil could.Gabreil si head over heals for Kait.I am not saying ROb doesnt its jut that Gabriel...and Kait just click. They have that atomatic connection. In the 3rd part the PASSION all my drams came true. SHe and Gabreil finally got together. I might have started out as lie but it ended up much more. Gabriel showed Kait how much he lived her by hurtung himself to stay in tune to her. I am also happy that ROb dint get hurt either. HE and ANNA go to geter. I think those two make a cute couple. BOth good kinds,

The Magician's Nephew is easily the best story of the Chronicles. First of all, it's the least overtly religious. There is a creation-of-the-world element, but it's not our world so it seems more fantastic than religious. Not only is there a veil over the religiosity, there's so much creativity in this story: the magical rings, the in-between place, the Deplorable Word, the founding of Narnia. Starting with The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the religiosity becomes noticeable, with the Witch as Satan, Aslan as Jesus, and the Emperor as God. And because of the talking, fighting animals, the fantasy seems aimed at children. I might have enjoyed it more at age 12. The next story in the series, The Horse and His Boy, takes a dark, ethnocentric turn with its unfavorable depiction of the Arab-like "Calormen" (shoes turned up at the toe, scimitars, suffixed phrases of praise, "son of" lineage declarations). In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, we get a not-quite-positive summary of the Calormen: "...they are a wise, wealthy, courteous, cruel and ancient people. They bowed most politely to Caspian and paid him long compliments...but of course what they wanted was the money they had paid." Given that this book was published in 1954, it's possible to forgive the cultural insensitivity, but it's sad that children around the world still uncritically read such racist material. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader demonstrates the problem with using God (or Jesus) in a story: there are no real conflicts. When the Dawn Treader stops at Dragon Island, the boy passenger Eustace wanders off, encounters a magical spell, and is turned into a dragon. This raises all kinds of serious issues about how to keep Eustace the Dragon with them, but none of these problems matter because, within 24 hours, Aslan just changes Eustace back to a boy. There was a similar deus ex machina (the term being used most appropriately) in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. To save Edmund's soul, Aslan sacrifices his life. But it wasn't Aslan's only life, he had another one ready. One thing I found especially creative about The Chronicles is how a story involving talking animals justifies eating animals.

I have been waiting for her to publish something new for years! Can't wait to read this.

Oh, Linden. My dear Linden. It's time. *reading begins now*
