![]() The characters Drew Hayes created are wonderfully imaginative and very 3-D, described in detail and with interesting personalities, gifts, and histories. The story could easily be made for children or young adults, except there is a bit of adult language in there, and at the end of the last story the author (as if afraid this was going to end up being a children's book) was heavy handed with foul language. And, there is another bit of confusion here. ![]() The author and editor would have done well to just smooth all that out - it would work fine for "story time" at a school, but is annoying for an adult reader. This is, apparently and confusingly, a set of stories in series, that adds characters with each episode and spends some time reviewing and reintroducing and reminding the reader (listener) about previous events. Entertaining, story of a mild-mannered vampire ![]()

He uses histories behind familiar food items - where they come from, how they are cooked and consumed, what they mean to different cultures - to explore economic theory. In Edible Economics, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world. Just as eating a wide range of cuisines contributes to a more interesting and balanced diet, so too is it essential we listen to a variety of economic perspectives. But this is bland and unhealthy - like British food in the 1980s, when bestselling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang first arrived in the UK from South Korea. For decades, a single free market philosophy has dominated global economics. ![]() ![]() the Thing, getting up for a midnight snack. ![]() ![]() It's the kind of thing where like, if somebody says this line, well, there's no way Johnny Storm isn't going to reply to that like this."ĮW can exclusively premiere the first few pages of Fantastic Four: Full Circle, which begin with the team's lovable bruiser Ben Grimm, a.k.a.
