So what is the show about? That’s what I tried to talk to them about.”Ī Hawley-created “Alien” miniseries, he said, would take a page out of the “Legion” playbook. Even if you have a lot of action, like two hours, then you’re still going to have eight hours left. If you’re going to make something for television, you’ve got 10 hours let’s say. Hawley continued, “I thought it would be interesting if you could expand. And because the Alien has this life cycle to it, where it goes from egg, to chestburster, to xenomorph, there becomes a certain routine to it.” At least they don’t screw each other over for a percentage.’ If you look at what ‘Alien’ tend to be, it’s usually a trapped story - trapped in a ship, trapped in a prison, etc. “There’s this moment in the second film when Sigourney says, ‘I don’t know which species is worse. “’Alien’ is sort of about humanity at its worst,” Hawley said. In a September interview with Observer, Hawley spoke for the first time in depth about his approach to an “Alien” miniseries. When asked if he personally is still involved with a potential “Alien” series, Hawley answered, “Ya know, I have conversations from time to time but I’m not committed.” The showrunner also noted there’s no conceit in place about what the miniseries would tackle from a narrative standpoint.

But what gets lost in the popular narrative is that Eat, Pray, Love is a smart, tightly constructed and beautifully written story of a (contemporary First World) hero’s journey, from profound isolation and pain through a financially and emotionally risky trip to Italy, India and Indonesia, ending in new and complicated love. It’s true that Eat, Pray, Love, the book that made her into a rich and famous writer, established Gilbert as an Oprah-approved author-as-brand, and that the book (and the subsequent Julia Roberts movie) spawned a variety of lifestyle merchandise. For one thing, she’s not really a snake-oil salesgirl, neither of lowest-common-denominator chick-lit, nor First World-problem-solving self-help, which is the way that comment-section critics and high-lit detractors, suspicious of “women’s stories,” tell it.

But I can’t….you’re kind of all I think about, Dahlia.” Jared was younger than her and oh my god sexy…he was even a bit of a softie when it came to Dahlia, aka “Blondie” I was frustrated right alongside her, I was scheming what I thought his problem was, why was he so distant, why won’t he giver her what she needs, what she wants? The list was a long one but NEVER did I see what would eventually come.ĭahlia seeks out the comfort she needs, the attention that she wants and let me tell you, I liked her choice.

What was once my perfect happily ever after had dissolved right before my eyes. Our marriage wasn’t just in trouble-mere threads were all that held it together. What we do get is a nice balance of variety and consistency: there's a range of POVs and characters, but not too many. I'm thinking of it as a novel because that's how the experience works best for me, I think, so I can consider it from the most favourable perspective. None of this is a criticism, by the way! Whether it's a novel or a collection has no bearing on its quality, but I think it's worth bringing up because how you read this book, what you expect from it going in, might affect how you enjoy it. (And of the longer ones, I'm not sure how many I would've enjoyed had I read them on their own, since they are so firmly situated in context.) Some can, but some are short links that only work for me if I think of them as adding to the overall book rather than as being pieces in themselves. I think part of that is because there's a primary narrative thread through all of them, but more of it's because I don't think every story/chapter can stand on its own. The way I experienced this book wasn't as a short story collection but as a single novel with, well, chapters. It's got me to think about what I'd even define as a 'story', because I think if I had tried to read this the way I might usually read a collection of short stories, it wouldn't have worked for me. I would recommend this book, but I would recommend reading it as a novel, I think!

Lefroy was soon engaged to a woman with a large fortune. “He is a very gentlemanlike, good-looking, pleasant young man, I assure you.” But Austen’s social status wasn’t high enough and Lefroy’s family separated the two lovebirds. “Imagine to yourself everything most profligate and shocking in the way of dancing and sitting down together,” she wrote to her sister Cassandra. Like a scene out of one of her novels, she flirted scandalously with him at a ball. At age 20, she had a flirtation with a young man named Tom Lefroy.

This is the first book of Emma's I have read which gives me a quite rough idea of what other adventures she has written and I now look forward to reading another book of hers. The story was amazing with a happy ending and it hooked me in very well, I kept reading the WHOLE day on Sunday because it was sooooo good.

This book has made me want to find out more about history because it is set in the 2nd World War and was very interesting so I would love to find out more.
