The Shoulders of Giants

The Shoulders of Giants Review

Jake Abraham is 28, and he’s just fulfilled an ambition. After three years of grunt work for a detective agency, he’s finally got his private investigator’s license, and set up on his own. Jake is a child of the eighties, brought up by Jim Rockford, Thomas Magnum, and three beautiful girls who worked for a man named Charlie, so he thinks he knows what to expect. His first case even seems like an easy one. All he has to do is find a missing girl.

Chicago Police Detective Scott Bales picked up the phone when a city broker was found dead in his car at eight in the morning. It means he’s in charge when, one by one, eight more bodies show up, all of whom died by the same hands. One of the bodies belongs to Susan Patterson, the daughter of a disgraced former Police Captain who just happens to be Jake’s client.

Inexperienced, determined and resourceful, Jake is convinced he has what it takes to bring the killer to justice.

BEKENNTNISSE EINES IM AUTOR

Ich muss gestehen, dass Englisch meine dritte Sprache ist, und, obwohl ich drei professionelle Englisch-Editoren zum Preis von Tausenden von Dollar einsetzte, ist es offensichtlich - auch zu mir, dass dieses Buch von einem im Ausland geboren Autor geschrieben wurde.

Im Ausland geboren oder nicht, ich glaube, ich habe ein Talent fürs Geschichten erzählen, und ich habe ein dumpfes Thema - die Umwandlung von Amazon von einem Einzelhandelsunternehmen Website zu einem Marktplatz - in eine interessante und lebendige Geschichte verwandelt.

Also, wenn Sie für eine tausend-seitige Abhandlung über Amazon, die als Beispiel für perfekte Grammatik in der Hohen Schule der englischen Grammatik Klasse verwendet wird suchen, dann wird dieses Buch vielleicht nicht das richtige für Sie sein. Halten Sie hier - es gibt viele andere Bücher über Amazon mit perfekter Grammatik, die auch perfekt langweilig sind!

Nun, ein Buch über Amazon kann ziemlich trocken sein, deshalb habe ich versucht, etwas Humor hinzuzufügen. In meinem Versuch dieses Buch lustig zu machen, kann ich ein paar Fakten gestreckt haben. Die Herausforderung mit Humor ist, dass nicht alle Versuche, witzig zu sein erfolgreich sind, und nicht jeder versteht alle Witze. Im Allgemeinen, wenn etwas wirklich merkwürdig oder seltsam klingt, dann ist das mein Versuch witzig zu sein.

Schließlich, zitiere ich diese Passage aus „ 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com“ von Mike Daisey, ein gemeinsamer Amazon Alumnus, der zum Autor wurde: "Einige Fakten wurden bei der Erzählung dieser Geschichte verletzt. Die Wahrheit aber bleibt unverletzt. "

Das gilt ebenso für dieses Buch.

“All wet!” said Poppy.
“Yuk!” said Stephen. “Was that a kiss?”
Before Colette could answer, it was her turn. She was lifted up and brought toward the shining pink lips. She closed her eyes. The next second she felt a dampness all over her cheek and an explosion in her ear.
She dared herself to open her eyes, and caught a glimpse of a hairy nostril before she was lowered again and pushed through a door.

Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln

Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln Review

Although he was Abraham and Mary Lincoln’s oldest and last surviving son, the details of Robert T. Lincoln’s life are misunderstood by some and unknown to many others. Nearly half a century after the last biography about Abraham Lincoln’s son was published, historian and author Jason Emerson illuminates the life of this remarkable man and his achievements in Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln. Emerson, after nearly ten years of research, draws upon previously unavailable materials to offer the first truly definitive biography of the famous lawyer, businessman, and statesman who, much more than merely the son of America’s most famous president, made his own indelible mark on one of the most progressive and dynamic eras in United States history.

Born in a boardinghouse but passing his last days at ease on a lavish country estate, Robert Lincoln played many roles during his lifetime. As a president’s son, a Union soldier, an ambassador to Great Britain, and a U.S. secretary of war, Lincoln was indisputably a titan of his age. Much like his father, he became one of the nation’s most respected and influential men, building a successful law practice in the city of Chicago, serving shrewdly as president of the Pullman Car Company, and at one time even being considered as a candidate for the U.S. presidency.

Along the way he bore witness to some of the most dramatic moments in America’s history, including Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; the advent of the railroad, telephone, electrical, and automobile industries; the circumstances surrounding the assassinations of three presidents of the United States; and the momentous presidential election of 1912. Giant in the Shadows also reveals Robert T. Lincoln’s complex relationships with his famous parents and includes previously unpublished insights into their personalities. Emerson reveals new details about Robert’s role as his father’s confidant during the brutal years of the Civil War and his reaction to his father’s murder; his prosecution of the thieves who attempted to steal his father’s body in 1876 and the extraordinary measures he took to ensure it would never happen again; as well as details about the painful decision to have his mother committed to a mental facility. In addition Emerson explores the relationship between Robert and his children, and exposes the actual story of his stewardship of the Lincoln legacy—including what he and his wife really destroyed and what was preserved. Emerson also delves into the true reason Robert is not buried in the Lincoln tomb in Springfield but instead was interred at Arlington National Cemetery.

Meticulously researched, full of never-before-seen photographs and new insight into historical events, Giant in the Shadows is the missing chapter of the Lincoln family story. Emerson’s riveting work is more than simply a biography; it is a tale of American achievement in the Gilded Age and the endurance of the Lincoln legacy.

Guts: The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster

Guts: The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster Review

“It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I’d still be screwed, because there’s no way I’d ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors.”

The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. GUTS is a true triumph—a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as Augusten Burroughs, yet as hilarious and witty as David Sedaris.

With GUTS, Johnston takes us on a journey so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with the reader for a long, long time.

Giants (Lost Civilizations: 1)

Giants (Lost Civilizations: 1) Review

The Nephilim had a plan. They would storm Eden, defeat the guardian Cherub with his flaming sword and eat from the Tree of Life. Then they would rule the Earth as immortal gods.

First, they needed armor to resist the flaming sword. Second, they needed a weapon to kill an angel. And third, they had to forge a champion capable of this feat. Their quest could unleash terrible forces upon the Elder Earth, but they were the sons of fallen angels and they would trample anyone who dared to stand in their way.

GIANTS is the start of Lost Civilizations. It tells of the war between Nephilim and men in the days before the oceans overran the Pre-Cataclysmic World. GIANTS is a fantasy novel by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.
