In this, the quintessential 007 film, James Bond (Connery) uncovers a plot to contaminate the Fort Knox gold reserve while investigating a gold magnate's (Gert Frobe) smuggling empire. ![]() No and From Russia with Love established the brand but Goldfinger put all of the elements to their most brilliant effect and gives all future 4-Star Bond chapters a run for their Moneypenny.

A riveting must-read.” - Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author This epic story epitomizes the will to battle fiercely despite impossible odds. James Clavell’s Sh ō gun draws you in and never lets you go. “An utterly engrossing classic that still thrills to this day. “A dramatic, utterly engrossing novel…Harsh and brutal in its revelations…James Clavell is a spellbinding storyteller, a brilliant observer, a man who understands much and forgives much.” - New York Timesīroad portrait is accurate and as colorful as an ancient Kabuki play.” - PeopleĪction…Gaudy and flamboyant with blood and sin, treachery and conspiracy, sexĪnd murder…Fresh and vigorous.” - New York Times ![]() ![]() “A sprawling Chinese banquet of a book.” - People Some of the most enjoyable reading around.” - Daily Mail (London) Set in a classroom, it shows how susceptible young minds are, how vulnerable, how easy to control.” - The Guardian (London)Ĭharacters, intrigue, and atmosphere that its 1,000-plus pages seem barelyĪdequate. “One of the most chilling books I’ve ever read. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the center, there was almost no trace of the small diamonds that once gave the treads their grip. Each life might wear away a single layer, even as the silo wore away that life.Įach step was slightly bowed from generations of traffic, the edge rounded down like a pouting lip. That always amazed him: how centuries of bare palms and shuffling feet could wear down solid steel. Holston could feel the vibrations in the railing, which was worn down to the gleaming metal. Traffic elsewhere on the staircase sent dust shivering off in small clouds. Paint clung to them in feeble chips, mostly in the corners and undersides, where they were safe. The treads, like his father’s boots, showed signs of wear. While they thundered about frantically above, Holston took his time, each step methodical and ponderous, as he wound his way around and around the spiral staircase, old boots ringing out on metal treads. ![]() The children were playing while Holston climbed to his death he could hear them squealing as only happy children do. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not all happy and it doesn’t tie up nicely, it’s messy, as relationships are. My favorite thing about Shortcomings, other than Tomine’s absolutely stunning artwork and panel layouts (his inking is insane!) is the realistic feeling of this story. Shortcomings follows the story of Ben and Miko (and also Ben’s friend the delightful Alice) as Ben and Miko’s relationship follows a harrowing course. ![]() I am also desperate as I should be at about book number 41 or 42…and I’m obviously not there, so forgive me a bit. I have read much of it before, and it’s a bit of a cheat to count it as a book considering it doesn’t take long to read, but I felt compelled to include it because it is so deserving considering it’s quality of being included. I read Shortcomings, published by Drawn & Quarterly yesterday after buying it at Jim Hanley’s this weekend. He also has a very natural way with writing conversation, and he paces a story more beautifully than almost anyone out there in the field. Tomine (i finally learned, pronounced “To-mean”, after years of Adam and I arguing about the pronunciation) is an insanely talented artist. ![]() 4.5 Stars.Īdrian Tomine is, depending on the day, my second or third favorite artist, and regardless of the day probably my second favorite storyteller in the comics format (Jeffrey Brown remains number one…he may never be surpassed…we’ll see). ![]() ![]() Please note that these trivia questions will include spoilers for season 2 episode 6.
