First Writing Practice: Ladybird I'm Ready to Write Sticker Activity Book Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

True confession: I have a serious love of Westerns - not so much the books, but the movies and TV shows. My father started me on them when I was a little girl. The first movie I remember seeing was the Seven Samurai, I still remember my father holding me on his lap while we watched. Seven SamuraiFirefly and if you haven't seen The Quick and the Dead you're missing out. Did I mention that the books and I just don't get along? I'm not entirely sure why other than that I really want them translated across the screen. It's one of the few genres where I prefer someone else to see it for me. Blood Red Road is a Western and it's going to be huge. The movie rights have been optioned by Ridley Scott and once you read the book you'll know why. Please don't skip the book and wait for the movie. The book is fabulous. Honestly, it had me in the synopsis with the phrase "gang of girl revolutionaries," but the reality of it is more than I imagined. The book is beautifully written with sparse words to mirror the spare landscape. Every character in the book is fully imagined. The main character, Saba, takes a glorious hero's journey complete with vulnerabilities, doubts, fear, and romance. She's not always nice and she's too independent for her own good, but people and circumstance force her to grow. Perhaps my favorite thing about this book is the way Ms. Young combines both Western and post-apocalyptic tropes (many of which come right straight out of video games like Fallout) into something completely unique. Like The Angels are the Reapers, the apocalypse is a fact and part of the landscape rather than something central to the book. I love the relationships in this book as Saba learns to love her little sister as much as she once hated her. Character growth is steady and realistic and my heart was fully engaged throughout. This is a book where girls rescue boys, but both genders are whole people with flaws and weaknesses and strength. A book where gender doesn't determine capability, where romance comes when you are least expecting it and least ready. A book that illustrates a budding romance that is realistic and not based on emotionally unavailable boys, a romance that is not emotionally abusive. I want to buy a copy for every girl (no matter the age) that I know. Book one in a proposed series, I'll be first in line for the next book and first in line for the movie, too.
