![]() ![]() Amelia has an experience in the crypt where she hears her name being called three times, much like the made-up story of Blackwater chapel(either by Robin or her father Henry, yet another unanswered question). Things that didn't add up, weren't properly explained, or were just attempts of the author trying to do too much at once:ġ. ![]() I think it's also one of the reasons why the ending leaves the reader with more questions than answers (and not in a good open-ended way). This isn't necessarily a bad thing if it's done well, seamless, and adds to the plot as well as the atmosphere. The book also attempts to be every genre under the sun at once: romance, crime, mystery, thriller, and horror. ![]() The main intrigue and theme of this book seems to be that the husband, Adam, has prosopagnosia (face blindness), but I think it would be possible to argue that the main plot wouldn't change much if that wasn't written in. The book even makes you want to go back to skim the pages to see if you can really catch the main twist being hinted at among the sentences. Albeit the book is a fun, quick-ish read for readers who love anything mystery/thriller related. It went beyond world or atmosphere building), life lessons (important but they made no sense due to being written in such a confusing manner), and random twists (its major downfall). ![]() A book with an interesting concept that ends up suffering due to the author using an unnecessary amount of detail (for every. ![]() ![]() ![]() Located on the forested Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo, the Kon-Tiki Museum is one of Norway’s most visited museums, with more than 70 per cent of its visitors coming from abroad to take part in Thor Heyerdahl’s historic adventures.

Penguins might be graceful swimmers, but they hesitate to jump in the water unless another penguin has entered (usually by being shoved in) first. It turns out hummingbirds are self serving bullies, and owls will murder just about anything. The image of a teenage Strycker hauling home a roadkill deer to attract turkey vultures to his backyard for a photography project might be one of the most memorable and endearing scenes of the book. Somehow, Strycker's enthusiasm spread to me, the reader, and I became enthralled by the world of pigeon racing, by the craftiness of the bowerbird, by the pecking order of chicken coops. I could feel his excitement as he perched at the edge of a cliff in Falkland Islands while thousands of albatrosses glided beneath and above him his determination as he slogged across a mudflat in Oregon for miles, hoping to spot a snowy owl his patience during the six months he watched a nest of fairy wrens in northwest Australia, carefully measuring how much effort each member contributed to the nest. Strycker observes and analyzes the body, mind, and spirit of thirteen species of birds, and his delight in observing them is a joy to be shared. The "surprising lives of birds" make for a surprisingly exciting read. ![]() ![]() ![]() As the army is used to build a new city in their names, neighbouring nations encroach on Egypt's borders and nothing can be done.
