Jacques prediction in 2009 is looking to come true as it is based more on proper analysis of data. However China does not want to rule the world but more into a multi-polar world.
Bro thank you 🙏
When it’s revealed to the audience that Gabe knows his father can see him, is this the first time Gabe reveals himself to his father? Or had the dad always been able to see him but chose to ignore him because he knows he isn’t real?
Deadmau5 ❤
Thanks!
happy I didn't have to read this
The description you have on here is completely wrong. Leyla is writing about her own cat. (I've read the book) She lives in Denmark, and is not Turkish, does not fall in love with anyone that her mother doesn't like. I know you must have just mixed up the description, but it is not remotely akin to the book, nor is Charm a novel.
Thanks got a test today
Lose the piano. Also- your assessment totally misses the trio are Trapped in a middle of nowhere post war london- nowhere men. 3 sides co dependent on the other 2. Is it limbo? Are they living? None can break out, procrastination is always their excuse. Broke down pile of inherited? bricks wherein each remains trapped. Metaphor dammit. You're welcome.
I love this book!
Thank you I need this for my Sadako project

Dictators are often elected----once. After that, you vote for the other guy in sham elections, you're toast.
I will be checking out his books.I am a reader of many different books.
Stephen L. Carter has a very interesting resume as far as his education,career history,etc.I have never heard of him before now,but after today I will never forget his name.
I always thought the most realistic portrayal of how a current day pre-Civil War event- might start was Euel Arden’s novel, Down Here in the Warmth. Great book. How can you go wrong with Militia on the streets of Manhattan.
I picked this by random chance at the library, it’s a wonderful story, the ending made me tear up
