Blythe Woolston infuses her white-knuckle narrative, set in a day-after-tomorrow Montana, with a dark, trenchant humour and a keen psychological eye.

The mummification process involved ritually washing the corpse and then removing any organs that might contribute to the rotting process. To this end early Egyptians would leave their dead in the desert to be preserved in the dry surroundings, but increasingly mummification became common and remained so for three millennia. Thus the body’s preservation was essential in order for a person both to reach the afterlife, and to be able to enjoy it. The soul, or ‘Ba’ could not survive without the body, and what’s more, had to be able to recognize its body to be able to return to it. After death, Ancient Egyptians believed that the ‘Ka,’ an entity closely associated with the physical body was able to eat, drink and smell, and essentially enjoy the afterlife. These monuments, inscriptions, and the opulent artifacts found around the bodies within them betray a complex belief in the afterlife. Inscription on one of the linen wrappings of the Egyptian mummy of Thothmes II, 1493-1479 B.C.Īncient Egypt, with its mummies and vast pyramids seems uniquely characterised by objects associated with death.

The book was nominated for the Locus Award in 1980 and was dedicated to King's son Owen. Though earlier King books were successful, The Dead Zone was the first of his novels to rank among the ten best-selling novels of the year in the United States. When some information is blocked from his perception, Johnny refers to that information as being trapped in the part of his brain that is permanently damaged, "the dead zone." The novel also follows a serial killer in Castle Rock, and the life of rising politician Greg Stillson, both of whom are evils Johnny must eventually face. The story follows Johnny Smith, who awakens from a coma of nearly five years and, apparently as a result of brain damage, now experiences clairvoyant and precognitive visions triggered by touch. The Dead Zone is a science fiction thriller novel by Stephen King published in 1979. This revised edition offers a scathing analysis of the growth of communalism in India and the use of state power in furthering its cause. It dwells on the consolidation of the nation, examining contentious issues like party politics in the Centre and the states, the Punjab problem, and anti-caste politics and untouchability. The book describes how the Constitution was framed, as also how the Nehruvian political and economic agenda and basics of foreign policy were evolved and developed. This volume, a sequel to the best-selling India's Struggle for Independence, analyses the challenges India has faced and the successes it has achieved, in the light of its colonial legacy and century-long struggle for freedom. The story of the forging of India, the world's largest democracy, is a rich and inspiring one. A thorough and incisive introduction to contemporary India.

(And there’s no prologue or anything like that) I don’t know how you can keep doing this. This is a year after DT 1, so DT 2 is erased. That’s right, it actually never happened. is it still good? Yes.īut first, this book does something that makes it already good: It retcon’s Deep Trouble 2. Does it have anything to do with the plot? No. The villain is dumb, the plot is rushed, and it makes no sense.īut for whatever reason, Stine felt the story needed to continue. It starts off slow, but it gets good.Īnd then there’s deep trouble 2. The storyline is rather interesting, as Billy’s need to protect the mermaid is rather sweet, and by the end, he ends up saving her life, and in return, the mermaid calls her friends and I swear it’s more badass than it sounds.īilly/mermaid is fascinating and Alexander is another decent human villain, who tries to DROWN the main characters. for those who don’t remember, check my review for the full info. It’s pretty good, and better than what my review said. I finally got Deep trouble 1, so I read it again. We’ll still looking at the Horrorland books, so let’s look at book 2.
