![]() In Dirtbag, Massachusetts, Fitzgerald, with warmth and humor, recounts his ongoing search for forgiveness, a more far-reaching vision of masculinity, and a more expansive definition of family and self.įitzgerald's memoir-in-essays begins with a childhood that moves at breakneck speed from safety to violence, recounting an extraordinary pilgrimage through trauma to self-understanding and, ultimately, acceptance. But before all that, he was a bomb that exploded his parents' lives-or so he was told. ![]() He's been an altar boy, a bartender, a fat kid, a smuggler, a biker, a prince of New England. pulling no punches on the path to truth, but it always finds the capacity for grace and joy." - Esquire, "Best Memoirs of the Year"Ī TIME Best Book of the Season * A Rolling Stone Top Culture Pick * A Publishers Weekly Best Memoir of the Season * A Buzzfeed Book Pick * A Goodreads Readers' Most Anticipated Book * A Chicago Tribune Book Pick * A Book You Should Read * A Los Angeles Times Book to Add to Your Reading List * An Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Month ![]() Winner of the New England Book Award for Nonfiction ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘But tell me, why does Margarita call you a master?’ asked Woland. Pilate, then, represents human authority as a counterpoint to Yeshua’s godly authority-his millennial torture comes from the realization that the second is more meaningful than the first. At this, the dazed Pilate follows his dog up a moonlit path and is reunited with Yeshua. Pilate is eventually set free, when the master is encouraged by Woland to complete his novel by granting Pilate his liberty. Pilate longs to be with Yeshua and for his decision approve the execution to be undone. But this doesn’t bring him any true resolution, and Pilate spends two thousand years in a kind of limbo, looking up at the moon with his faithful dog, Banga, by his side. ![]() Sensing that he has made a mistake in allowing Yeshua to die, Pilate tries to atone by killing Judas of Kiriath, the man who set up Yeshua’s arrest. That said, Yeshua’s unique character based on compassion and empathy intrigues him, ultimately increasing its hold over him more and more as time goes on. Pilate holds a high-pressured position of authority and can’t be seen to show weakness. His story represents the counterpoint narrative to the main action in Moscow, and centers on his decision to approve the execution of Yeshua Ha-Nozri in the city of Yershalaim. Pontius Pilate is the fifth procurator of Judea and the subject of the master’s novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() But maybe these Kings of Chaos have let my pretty face fool them. ![]() ![]() Even though they've agreed to help me, I know they want to punish me too.

But it turns out revenge is a messy business, and when I end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, I royally piss off four brutal, twisted, gorgeous men. Should be simple, right? Yeah, you’d think so. Six people who turned me into the monster I am now. Six people who wronged me, who hurt me, who took everything from me. Some people wear their heart on their sleeve.

Action fans won't be disappointed.Ī MUTINY IN TIME has great ties to the Age of Exploration and Columbus and should be a fun read-aloud to share for classes studying that period. But don't worry.there are plenty of explosions, too. It's easy for a packaged series to rely on fast-paced action and the occasional explosion in place of solid plot and character development, but this book does a great job creating the world that its main characters inhabit (a world that's been altered by "Breaks" in history, and boy is it fun to discover the changes!). I'm not much of a fan of video games, so I was pleasantly surprised when I fell in love with this book. Like THE 39 CLUES, this series has an online video game component. ![]() ![]() When I saw on my IRA schedule that I was speaking at an event with James Dashner, I requested an ARC of the first in his INFINITY RING series with Scholastic, expecting a quick, entertaining read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mosel had been an assistant in the children's department at Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, before becoming an associate professor of library science at Case Western Reserve University.

The ending felt rushed to resolution - we missed some clarity on the roots of Adam’s feelings, and forgiveness was given too quickly. The relationship between the leads is underdeveloped, and unfortunately the events of the second half rely on the intensity of their connection.
