Yaz chews on her bottom lip as if she's reluctant to tell me, but then says, "She disappeared. Vanished. They heard from her a few times. Last they knew she was in the Outer Loop. Then she stopped using her Gizmo. They think she joined some kind of cult or resistance group and just sort of fell off the face of the planet. It broke my aunt's heart.

The Hungry Thing by Richard E. Martin | Goodreads

This book is adventurous and kinda a romance story. I usually frown upon love stories, but I actually really enjoyed this book. I read this book many times over after I got it. Every time better than the first. I didn't like the cliche moments between Basil and Thalia. Some parts are boring and kinda lengthy. But overall a pretty good adventure. Make sure to be open to new ideas! I found the beginning a bit slow. Because of how technologically advanced this world was, I was a bit lost. It felt really sci-fi-y to me and that's not really my thing. There was a time I considered putting the book down, actually. The story felt too heavy and overwhelming to me. I can say now that I'm satisfied with the story and glad I didn't put it down. Five Thai students held for 'Hunger Games' salute at PM". BBC News. November 19, 2014 . Retrieved January 27, 2023.

The Circle of Reason won the Prix Medicis Etranger, one of France's top literary awards, and The Shadow Lines won the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Ananda Puraskar. The Calcutta Chromosome won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for 1997 and The Glass Palace won the Grand Prize for Fiction at the Frankfurt International e-Book Awards in 2001. The Hungry Tide won the Hutch Crossword Book Prize in 2006. In 2007 Amitav Ghosh was awarded the Grinzane Cavour Prize in Turin, Italy. Amitav Ghosh has written for many publications, including the Hindu, The New Yorker and Granta, and he has served on the juries of several international film festivals, including Locarno and Venice. He has taught at many universities in India and the USA, including Delhi University, Columbia, the City University of New York and Harvard. He no longer teaches and is currently writing the next volume of the Ibis Trilogy. In summary, what most impressed me in this book were first the dramatic pictures of raw and violent nature in the Sundarbans and second the nuanced discussion of issues that people face involving the priorities of love and work, as these issues continue to unfold and evolve in all parts of the world. In my sailing through this beautiful story, I also encountered some well researched scientific facts about mammal creatures and about the history of those small islands in the Bay of Bengal. The mixing of faith and mythical belief in the story made it more interesting for the reader. Ghosh has tried his best to keep the story equally relevant for both the native readers and for the general English readers and he has done it quite successfully.

Ruiz, Mike (November 30, 2015). "Which is better? "The Hunger Games" novel or film?". The Retriever. Untold Secrets of the High Stakes 'Hunger Games '". The Hollywood Reporter. February 1, 2012 . Retrieved February 7, 2012.But, the thing I was bothered the most by was the writing style, which felt like it was by some pseudo-intellectual English student from South Kolkata with a woke mindset who quotes Tagore all day long just because he can, who's writing to impress his teacher (use effusive words in meandering sentences and quote poets whenever possible; at least that's what we were taught, and I am trying to unlearn that for 6-7 years now). One of our characters used Rilke's poems throughout his presence just because he could, romanticizing every goddamn thing he possibly could. That touched on some important topics, though, especially the home vs the world, deep-set patriarchy that can never allow even an educated individual to understand the efforts of a woman. The writing was such that if you try to visualize what you're reading, you will feel that you're watching a movie at 0.25X speed; it lets you catch the details but makes you yawn. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was released on DVD on April 24, 2006, as a part of an anthology called The World of Eric Carle; it was presented by the Illuminated Film Company and broadcast by Ventura Distribution. [40] The other sad thing about the novel is its degeneration into chapters containing one-to-one conversations. There are just two many of these chapters. Each character gets to talk to the other. Sometimes they narrate stories of the kind I have mentioned before. At other times, they bore even more. One gets the irritating feeling that this could have been a super-taut novella and that it would have done better then. At other times, you find yourself bemoaning the superficiality it loads the characters with...suddenly the characters lose their inner lives and are just talking. Talking , talking, and talking.
