![]() ![]() ![]() Hopefully the author will release more stories like this one so I won’t have to count the days until I turn thirty-one. It’s a mind-boggling story that I would love to read again in ten years when I would have forgotten every detail. And he is a specific kind of one-dimensional that gives you a slight sense of his limited personality while encouraging you to picture YOURSELF as the narrator himself. ![]() He has more than one, so I don’t blame myself. I keep saying ‘‘narrator’’ because I actually forgot what his name is. The wife especially is a mystery and I for one loved getting to know her through the narrator. The fact that they are both predators comes up, of course, multiple times, but it always comes back to the husband and wife dynamics and the many lies they keep from each other. The relationship between the narrator and his wife is the main focus. This makes for 370 pages of story that have meaning and are easy to read. But they harbor a dark secret: husband has been helping his wife with. I cannot speak about this book itself, so my review is only about the ordering. The story follows 'Tobias and his lovely wife, Millicent, who seem to be leading the perfect life with home and family. He mentions only what is important to the plot or what is important to him. This item was one of three books ordered from Target which were all gifts. The narrator divulges information in a matter-of-fact tone. Well even if it does, the first page alone is going to rekindle it because this is FAST and ADDICTIVE. If you’re a sucker for psychological thrillers, you need to read this TODAY.

His surviving writings include nearly 40 plays and over 150 sonnets, and his body of work is widely performed, analyzed, studied, and reinterpreted to this day. Shakespeare died in 1616 of a rumored “fever” just a month after creating a will in which he declared himself to be in good health. In 1609, he published a book of sonnets, and released other long poems in the mid-1590s when London’s theaters were closed due to the plague. His theatrical career likely began in the mid-1580s, and between then and 1613, he composed such works as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, The Henriad, Julius Caesar, Othello, and many more. There is a gap in the historical record between the birth of Shakespeare’s twins and his first recorded appearance on the London theater scene in 1592.

At 18, Shakespeare wed a woman eight years his senior, Anne Hathaway just six months after their marriage, Hathaway gave birth to a daughter.

But it seems equally misleading to offer the false choice of Rousseau and Hobbes when, clearly, humanity encompasses both. There’s a great deal of reassuring human decency to be taken from this bold and thought-provoking book and a wealth of evidence in support of the contention that the sense of who we are as a species has been deleteriously distorted. despite the almost bewildering array of characters and information, Bregman never loses sight of his central thesis. And, like the Canadian populariser, he’s not afraid to take his audience on a digressive journey of discovery.
