About this deal

Gyms, Chaline shows in an amusing and comprehensive tour of a small facet of human endeavor, have from the beginning had those sorts of characteristics, but as societies have changed, so have their gyms.

An outstanding reader is looking for the deep pleasure of submerging in a story and being carried along by it—but is also interested in the scenery along the way, the little details of fully-alive characters and vividly-drawn places. The pacing was spot on, it was slow enough for me to enjoy the details, yet fast enough where I never felt bored.

The uncontrollable lust she feels for him is nothing to do with him as a person, but is just the eruption of everything that she’s repressed and controlled. Today, burnout and depression are at record levels, driven by a combination of intense workplace competition, the comparative world of social media, the quest for elite credentials, and helicopter parenting. In The Center's laboratories, he is looking to merge the genomes of the current Children to create a perfect being, with all of the powers in one person.

Grenville has won recognition for such novels as Dreamhouse, Lilian’s Story, and Dark Places, published in America as Albion’s Story. He has recently written books on golf including Creating Classics: The Golf Courses of Harry Colt, and a history of the Ryder Cup. Plagued by his own perfectionism, Curran knows too well the harmfulness of the trait and gives us insight into his own personal struggles. I’ve always had a vague sense of these forces, but I’ve never seen this theory laid out so succinctly….

The fourth generation of de la Rues were not as successful as their predecessors, and in the early 1920s the company had to be rescued by a financier, Sidney Lamert, and a very able businessman, Bernard Westall. Chaline insightfully considers humankinds beliefs about the body as they have changed across history, providing an ample account of the technologies, practices and ideas undergirding the honing of physical strength and beauty. The personification of Aryan purity, Ellyssa's spent her whole life under her creator's strict training and guidance; her purpose is to eradicate inferior beings. This story reminds me a lot of Brave New World in the beginning and then when Ellyssa finds the Renegade group it reminds me of The Host.

I don’t think I’m the only Australian who feels vaguely guilty about that, as if we’re all going along with a story that isn’t quite true.That quote was my touchstone as I wrote a book about two people who fall in love in spite of their flaws. The pacing slowed in spots, but there was enough action to keep me reading and the action scenes were nicely done. He had all the characteristics that I like in a love interest, but for some reason I just wasn't connecting with him or the romance. There was one instance where Rein did something that made no logical sense, but needed to happen to further the plot. While you can use the fillable fields on your computer or print out the sheets yourself, you cannot share this with anyone else, make a copy, or use this for resale.
