world war ii : the series starts just after war ends in japan , and carries on for decades afterward .
battles without honor and humanity won the 1974 kinema junpo awards for best film , best actor ( bunta sugawara ) and best screenplay ( kazuo kasahara ) . in 2009 , the magazine named it fifth on a list of the top 10 japanese films of all time . due to the series ' commercial and critical popularity it was followed by another three - part series , new battles without honor and humanity . the film is often called the
japanese godfather ,
[ 1 ] and marks a departure from traditional yakuza movies which had , for the most part , been tales of chivalry set in pre - war japan . the overall tone of the series is bleak , violent and chaotic , expressing the futility of the struggles between yakuza families . in the western market it is also known under the titles tarnished code of yakuza ( australia ) , war without a code , and the yakuza papers .
greater scope villain : the akashi family and shinwa group serve as this in proxy war and police tactics , being japan ' s biggest yakuza syndicates . apparently the gang war in hiroshima is just another flashpoint in the two gangs ' attempts to curb power for themselves across japan .
fukasaku biographer sadao yamane believes battles without honor and humanity was popular because of the time of its release ; japan ' s economic growth was at its peak and at the end of the 1960s the student uprisings took place . the young people had similar feelings to those of the post - war society depicted in the films . [ 26 ] yamane also stated that for the rest of his career fukasaku was approached many times by producers to create movies similar to battles , but always turned them down wanting to move on to films he found interesting . [ 27 ]
in the teeming black markets of postwar japan , shozo hirono ( bunta sugawara ) and his buddies find themselves in a new war between fractious and ambitious yakuza . after joining boss yamamori , shozo is drawn into a feud with his sworn brother ' s family , the dois . but that ' s where the chivalry of traditional yakuza film ends and the hypocrisy , betrayal , and assassinations begin . a rare and critical perspective on the history of japan after world war ii , battles without honor & humanity is a tour - de - force that revolutionized the yakuza genre and launched kinji fukasaku and bunta sugawara to international stardom .
battles without honor and humanity has been released on home video and aired on television , the latter with some scenes cut . in 1980 , the first four films were edited into a 224 - minute compilation and was given a limited theatrical release and broadcast on toei ' s tv network . a blu - ray box set compiling all five films in the series was released on march 21 , 2013 to celebrate its 40th anniversary .
if you were to sum up the first entry in kinji fukasaku ' s groundbreaking series of movies , those would be the words to choose . the battles without honor and humanity series ( a . k . a . the yakuza papers ) shook the yakuza movie genre to its core , and turned it upside down . up until then , japan ' s organized screen mobsters were chivalrous – outlaws , but still adhering to their own strict code of honor bound conduct . these were the ninkyo days of yakuza movies , tales set in pre - war times . fukasaku changed everything .

kasahara used the 1936 film la belle équipe as a guide for the action in battles without honor and humanity . the writer had concerns over organizing the real facts to make stories , as one could not fit everything into an action movie , and how close to stick to reality , settling on a mix of reality and human drama . he deleted all the scenes with hirono ( minō ) interacting with a female heroine , as it was the only request of minō , who kasahara felt had given his unspoken approval by now . this is the reason the film ends abruptly . the screenplay took kasahara 69 days to write . [ 2 ]
the series is loosely based on the serialized two - volume novel by koichi iiboshi that chronicles the hiroshima gang war that lasted nearly twenty five years . the series revolves around shozo hirono an ex - soldier living in hiroshima after world war ii .
in the wake of the bomb , ex - soldier shozo hirono [ bunta sugawara ] joins a hiroshima yakuza gang , the japanese equivalent of the mafia–and then the shootings , slashings , betrayals , and scheming begin . premiering a year after the godfather , the yakuza papers [ aka battles without honor and humanity ] also broke box office records and spawned sequels , but , in contrast , took a ruthlessly de - romanticized view of the underworld . based on an actual gang boss ' s memoirs , the yakuza papers plunges the audience into a gritty , brutal , violent newsreel of a three - decade struggle for power of shakespearean complexity , a nihilistic epic unlike any other .
the series still resonates in japan , where
battles without honor & humanity
has become a common t - shirt slogan ( as well the title of a tomoyasu hotei instrumental used in quentin tarantino ' s kill bill , and now the cue music for seemingly every sports - related talk - radio show in america ) . the yakuza papers ' endurance has primarily to do with the filmmaker ' s critical analysis of japan ' s national character . fukasaku openly questions whether the legendary japanese sense of duty was wiped out by the atomic bomb , or whether it was always just an ideal for tourists and old movies , never meant to be taken seriously .
almost all of the yamamori underbossses in fact , during the war with the doi only hirono and wakasugi are willing to take the fight to the enemy .
the advice i was given before seeing battles without honor and humanity was ,
prepare to roll with the punches .
that wasn ' t enough preparation for kinji fukasaku ' s five - film yakuza epic , known collectively as the yakuza papers . i was already a bit wary of fukasaku , having been less than thrilled by his later graveyard of honor ; it was supposed to be a culmination of the director ' s nihilistic style . i might have appreciated graveyard more had the yakuza papers come along first . it ' s fukasaku ' s idea of a japanese national epic seen through the tawdry vision of the yakuza genre . thirty years of gang warfare for control of the streets of japan becomes a perverse history of that nation ' s rise from ignominious defeat to a modern democracy .
this review isn ' t for the actual battles films as they are all stellar examples of the yakuza genre , if not the most quintessential yakuza films ever shot .
set in post - war japan , fukasaku drew on his experiences as a child during world war ii for battles without honor and humanity . at fifteen he worked with other children in a munitions factory that was regularly bombed . the director recalled
even though we were friends working together , the only thing we would be thinking of was self - preservation . we would try to get behind each other or beneath dead bodies to avoid the bombs . . . . i also had to clean up all the dead bodies . . . . i ' m sure those experiences have influenced the way i look at violence .
the film , noted for its
extreme violence ,
opens with japanese soldiers , during america ' s occupation of their country , stealing food and murdering for a bowl of rice . [ 8 ] using hand - held camera , zoom lenses and natural lighting to create a
gritty , chaotic look ,
the director showed his generation ' s struggle to survive in the post - war chaos . [ 9 ] the shaky camera technique has since become a trademark of the director .
we ' re told that fukasaku ' s the yakuza papers changed all that . based on reportedly true stories of decades of gang feuding , the title
without honor and humanity
is entirely accurate . the previous romantic notion of loyalty is a sham from the start . vicious gangs build rackets out of the immediate post - war climate of black marketeering and national humiliation . the rituals are all there even though fukasaku doesn ' t dwell on them : thugs attach themselves to clans almost in marriage , supposedly waiving all other ties of loyalty . but most of the soldiers and almost all of the bosses ignore the yakuza code while working whatever machiavellian schemes are available to them . gang personnel are treated as expendable assets . bosses wheedle and talk about honor while their wives whine on about nobility and make promises nobody intends to keep . if that ' s not the story of the modern business world , nothing is .
“the hunter is stronger than the prey” . the secret history of japan’s post - war capitalism . it starts with a mushroom cloud and just goes more savage from there .
, a five - film analysis of hiroshima gangster wars spanning twenty - five years . covering a twelve - year period immediately following world war ii ,
home vision ' s impressively - mounted boxed set of the yakuza papers : battles without honor and humanity comes in a metal sleeve ( so i am assured ) with a card and plastic insert that folds out like an accordion . an insert booklet has essays by patrick macias and tom mes and reproductions of original posters . a sixth disc contains a number of interview docus , detailed below . william friedkin talks about the influence these pictures had on american action films , but i ' m not sure they were ever really screened here until the 1990s , in bad - boy action retrospectives at film festivals and the american cinematheque . in any case the series seems more influenced by the free - form aesthetic of american action movies , especially blaxploitation movies . the cool soundtrack score frequently resembles the catchy jazz riffs from american actioners of the time .
when shundo selected fukasaku to direct he received backlash from his toei colleagues , who felt the director could not make the film
interesting
or
commercial
enough . shundo himself did not like fukasaku ' s earlier films , stating that he made them for his own enjoyment only , but changed his mind after seeing 1972 ' s street mobster . [ 6 ] kasahara was against the selection of fukasaku . [ 2 ] fukasaku biographer sadao yamane explained the two had worked together previously and fought over a story fukasaku disliked , although the two eventually worked over it , the director left the project due to ill health . however , when fukasaku read the battles without honor and humanity script he said he would not change a thing and the film was green lit . [ 7 ]
the film is credited as one of the first modern yakuza films ; prior , movies about yakuza were known as ninkyō eiga ,
chivalry films
, and set in pre - war japan . [ 4 ] the a . v . club ' s noel murray states that fukasaku ' s yakuza instead only
adhere to codes of honor when it ' s in their best interest , but otherwise bully and kill indiscriminately .
[ 23 ] dennis lim of the village voice writes
fukasaku ' s yakuza flicks drain criminal netherworlds of romance , crush codes of honor underfoot , and nullify distinctions between good and evil .
[ 24 ] film scholar richard torrance suggests that the film acts as a
microcosm of the broader society and international order of the post - war period , in which violence lacks moral significance and exists without heroes .
[ 25 ] this new yakuza film genre became known as jitsuroku eiga (
actual record film
) , often depicting events based on true stories .
fukasaku begins battles with a still picture of an atomic blast , establishing the series as a critique of the
in - the - ruins generation
that was born in the rubble of world war ii . throughout the yakuza papers , characters refer back to the war , as in deadly fight in hiroshima , where the hero wishes he had been a kamikaze pilot , so he ' d be spared the fate of a lovesick , suicidal button - man . the series starts in the hiroshima refugee camps of 1946 , where a group of young men get involved with the black market and ally themselves with the region ' s crime
families .
bunta sugawara stars as the toughest of the lot , who watches his friends ' idealism get swamped by the job ' s necessities . over the next four films— deadly fight , proxy war , police tactics , and final episode —the story hardly changes . for 25 years , the yakuza families swap loyalties and butcher each other , while sugawara does his best to stay out of the fray and make a living .
during the violent chaos of post - war japanese black market , a young gangster called shozo hirono has to keep up with the rapid shifts of power between unscrupulous bosses .
this story of the power struggle between and within yakuza clans in post - war hiroshima begins in 1946 and runs through into the 50s . and opening as it does with footage of the bomb which had so recently destroyed the city , the film signals that it is going to be bloody and violent and have little respect for life .
trope maker : for jitsuroku - eiga , a deconstructive sub - genre of yakuza films that were far more cynical than 1960s ninkyo films which were filled with far more idealistic tales about honor , brotherhood , tradition , and loyalty .
and humanity , a new audio commentary by critic and author stuart galbraith iv filling in many details of kinji fukasaku ' s efforts to grind these out ats a steady pace as well as the massive impact on japanese culture at the time , the violence and much more . it ' s a good listen ! also on the first
the fourth film began in september 1973 . set after the hiroshima incidents , hirono and the lead characters are now high - ranking bosses that do not appear in the battles themselves . therefore , kasahara and director kinji fukasaku decided to show the violent story from multiple angles in an objective way .

crapsack world : japan , post - war , is portrayed as chaotic , lawless place , where a man can ' t walk down the street without risk to his safety and well being . even in his own home , he may be shot in his sleep . the yakuza have politicians in their pocket , and the police are initially at a loss to keep up . by the end of the series , things have gotten better for japan as a whole , but there are still indications that the yakuza are just as disadvantaged yet backstabbing as when they began .
kinji fukasaku directed this powerful and uncompromising look at the deadly stakes of life among the yakuza - - the japanese mafia . shozo hirono ( bunta sugawara ) is a former japanese soldier who , following his nation ' s defeat in world war ii , finds . . .
that ' s where shozo comes unto his own . distinguishing himself by refusing to blindly follow orders , shozo sees that he ' s being set up as an expendable proxy and instead pulls his own careful counter move that he hopes will result in the expulsion of his dishonorable boss . naturally nothing is that easy but it ' s fascinating to see how shozo , a good player but no genius , works his way through impossible situations .
with the korean war in 1950s , the yamamori family thrives and expands in the immediate years , but internal strife begins when members start dealing philopon due to the high price the boss takes off their earnings . sakai , who follows the boss ' orders not to sell , feuds with shinkai when he discovers shinkai ' s underling toshio arita is dealing the drug , but agrees yamamori ' s take is too high . the family adopts sakai ' s plan to each become self - sustaining , which results in a large drop in the boss ' funds , with only shinkai and yano objecting . shinkai is contacted by kanamaru to reform the doi family and get rid of sakai , and yamagata is killed for tailing them and finding this out . when it is revealed that yamamori is selling the drugs he confiscates from the other members for himself , sakai and ueda threaten the boss that without them he would be nothing . yamamori has ueda killed by arita and a war breaks out . it proves to be very one sided with shinkai and doi men being killed in the streets before arita is arrested and shinkai killed attempting to escape .
. they are set in post - war japan , just following the end of the war . in particular , it centers on a certain former soldier , named shozo hirono ( played by bunta sugawara ) , as he navigates the yakuza underworld and claws his way to the top , surrounded by liars and schemers . the series is adapted from a series of newspaper articles , by journalist kōichi iiboshi , that were rewrites of a manuscript originally written by real - life yakuza , kōzō minō , while he was in prison , giving the movies a documentary or biographical feel .
in the early episodes shozo forms strong ties with doomed yakuza buddies who try to live up to the code . these relationships give us something to care about in what would otherwise be a completely nihilistic series of rotten deals and betrayals . by the third episode fukasaku and his writers are veering into political territory , already implied through the constant visual return to that civic building retained as a memorial to the atomic bombing of hiroshima . the third chapter is called proxy wars in an attempt to show that the yakuza strife is a microcosm for the cold war struggle happening in the late 60s - instead of battling in the open , the yakuza clans allow captains and sub - chiefs to settle conflicts at a lower level in much the way that america and the soviet union ( in some interpretations ) nutured client states to be come substitute combatants . proxies do the fighting and suffer the consequences , and the masters are free to disassociate themselves when necessary .

curb - stomp battle : the civil war between the sakai and shinkai factions of the yamamori family . the only losses on the sakai side are the assassinations that start it , once it gets going all the casualties are on the shinkai side with the dragon , arita getting arrested and shinkai getting stabbed to death as he tries to flee spelling a quick end to the whole affair .
but the overall impression of the films is that of a violent saga awash in blood , betrayal , treachery and aggression stemming from the open competition for power within the gangs themselves . the clans are organized along business lines and are supposed to function under a code of honor in which underlings make blood oaths to their superiors and remain loyal unto death . according to the plentiful docu extras included with the boxed set , the previous decade of yakuza films focused on conflicted but honorable men trying to resolve irreconcilable problems of loyalty . a yakuza swears allegiance to one boss but retains a blood - brother association with someone in another gang . the resolution is usually a bloodbath followed by a sacrifice , usually a long prison term . the noble yakuza retains his honor but remains a loser in life .
black and gray morality : really , no one is good in this series . for one thing , they ' re all yakuza , which makes them evil by default . but there is really not a single decent person in the cast . while some , like hirono , do actually cherish the yakuza honor code , they find it nearly impossible to keep it in the immoral surroundings they find themselves in , and even they turn to assassinations , and murder just to stay alive .

due to the success of the first film , toei demanded that screenwriter kazuo kasahara finally write about the hiroshima yakuza war depicted in kōichi iiboshi ' s articles , which are in - turn based on the journals of kōzō minō , and split it into two films . kasahara had purposely avoided that part of the story for the first two installments , not only because he was daunted by all the names and relationships that were presented in a complex way , but also because he would have to write about the yamaguchi - gumi and was concerned about the agreements he made to the people involved in the incidents .

due to the success of the first film , toei demanded that screenwriter kazuo kasahara finally write about the hiroshima yakuza war depicted in kōichi iiboshi ' s articles , which are in - turn based on the journals of kōzō minō , and split it into two films . kasahara had purposely avoided that part of the story for the first two installments , not only because he was daunted by all the names and relationships that were presented in a complex way , but also because he would have to write about the yamaguchi - gumi and was concerned about the agreements he made to the people involved in the incidents .

the yakuza papers is japan ' s answer to america ' s the godfather which was released a few years before . the yakuza and mobster are distant cousins that follow similar codes and are bound by a sense of honor to their boss . director fukasaku doesn ' t use violence for the sake of violence and his films , like those of all true artists , represent the reality that surrounds them . if you ' ve made it this far into the series , chances are you really enjoy the story or at least the ultraviolence portrayed among the whiny crime bosses ( makes you wonder how they got there in the first place ) and the tough as nails gangsters that back them up . . . . when they ' re not changing sides .
liked the comparison of proxy wars between usa and ussr to that of yakuza gangs by the narrator at the beginning . i thought the pointless violence might be turned down a notch in favor of a smart script focusing on inner politics of the yakuza , which happened to some degree but not enough to make this a smart film . i loved the fact that shozo and yomomori played larger parts in this film than they did in
deadly fight in hiroshima
. shozo ' s character by this film , the 3rd in the series , had grown considerably complex , which just added to the joy of watching the series and his life unfolding as a yakuza . uchida was a great character to add along with what his presence added to the story . yomomori is one of the funniest and lamest crime bosses i have seen : he weeps when matsunaga tries to defy him and says
can ' t you see how i feel !
- just hilarious . another nice touch was the camaraderie between matsunaga and hirono . the interaction between all the underbosses was great too . nice ending as well here . the problem was that it was confusing at times and was more of a set up for police tactics .
boring , but practical : knives and sticks aren ' t as cool looking as katanas , but they get the job done , quickly and efficiently .
and the film itself is 3 3 / 4 hours and is , obviously , less - robust - still almost filling a full 50 gig disc .
among others ) and the explosive energy suits the genre very well . the quality is imperfect but adds flavor to the film ' s charisma and frequent aggression . there are optional english subtitles and , as stated , the 6
endless senseless violence . fukasaku can get bogged down in plot in the middle sections , but whenever he unchains his camera and lets his performers go wild he creates truly unhinged and scary sequences of desperate , sweaty and nihilistic bloodshed .
as japan gears up for the 1964 olympic games , the cops start to crack down under pressure from the public and the press , adding a new dimension in the war for power among the yakuza families of hiroshima . akira kobayashi ' s takeda tries to keep a lid on things , but hotheaded underlings create chaos , with one boss whacked in neutral territory , and the craven boss , uchimoto , informing on an assassination attempt by his own minions . while the police round up hundreds of yakuza foot soldiers , bunta sugawara ' s shozo hirono plots to finally take out longtime nemesis , boss yamamori .

these are very entertaining films . they describe the history of the yakuza in japan from the immediate post - war period to their present ( 1973 - 74 ) by focussing on the careers of a handful of individuals operating in hiroshima . i have seen these films compared to the godfather films ( the first two anyway ) , which were released at about the same time . they are not as polished and operatic as the godfather films , but like the godfather films , they do benefit from the presence of many interesting characters and situations . these movies reminded me more of the velachi papers in terms of production values , tone and style . this is not a bad thing in my eyes , as that film is also an entertaining look at the development of organized crime seen through the examination of one man ' s career . the films are a lot of fun to watch and seeing the development of the characters from era to era was fun . the image quality and sound quality on the discs is very good . the supplemental materials are also very interesting and the packaging is also well done and solid . no cardboard sleeves etc . here ( i ' m looking at you marvel : ) )

the highly anticipated sequel to dinner with a vampire autumn rose has the chance to save the world she loves . but how much will she have to sacrifice to achieve it ? in autumn rose , book two of her breathtaking series , abigail gibbs draws us even further into the dangerous and romantic world of the dark heroines .
as a result of the emerging post modernist dilemmas ( ethical , economic and social ) there is an effort in the world cinema to dissect each country’s history and the values that bring together that country . this aims to further dissect and branch out the main arteries in society that provide for social continuity and convey it through art . with its story , plot , its aesthetics and cinematography , guz sancisi ( pains of autumn ) is set to take its place in the world cinema .
the dark heroine was pretty good , but autumn rose is darn awesome . darn awesome . readers of the dark heroine meet autumn and prince fallon briefly , but importantly , when violet finds out she is a dark heroine . autumn rose takes a step back and tells autumn ' s story . autumn is fifteen and deeply depressed after the horrifying murder of her grandmother , another sage with whom she lived . she lives with her normal parents and works to protect the humans at her school . autumn works hard to hide her official status as duchess of england , only one step away from royalty , until prince fallon shows up at her school and blows her cover . he claims he just wanted to get away from the royal lifestyle , but is really there to keep her safe from the rogue exterminos . fallon works hard to hide the fact that he fell for autumn years ago , and isn ' t the playboy the media portrays , while autumn slowly decides whether she likes him at all . autumn ' s emotional growth , and how she falls for fallon , is what makes the story truly awesome . as she comes to depend upon fallon and deal with what happened to her grandmother , her depression slowly lessens until she learns the truth of how her grandmother died and hits bottom . i couldn ' t put the book down and absolutely can ' t wait to read more about the next heroines , but also violet and kaspar , and definitely autumn and fallon . i received this copy as an arc from edelweiss .
what a mess ! * sighs * i am wretchedly frustrated right now , peeps , considering how much i loved the dark heroine . it took me weeks to get through autumn rose , and i had to push myself all the way through . first of all , autumn rose doesn ' t mention kaspar and violet until its last 20 % . everything in this book happens parallel to the time stamp of the dark heroine but in a different dimension and involving a completely different set of characters . the main heroine , fifteen - year old autumn , is a sage ,

when autumn collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend , she doesn’t think things could get any worse . but that’s before she realizes that dax miller is locked in with her . autumn doesn’t know much about dax except that he’s trouble . between the rumors about the fight he was in ( and that brief stint in juvie that followed it ) and his reputation as a loner , he’s not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with . still , she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before jeff , her almost - boyfriend , realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her . only he doesn’t come . no one does . instead it becomes clear that autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending - machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her . except there is more to dax than meets the eye . as he and autumn first grudgingly , and then not so grudgingly , open up to each other , autumn is struck by their surprising connection . but can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and autumn’s old life , and old love interest , threaten to pull her from dax’s side ?

this book is an utter disappointment compared to the first . autumn and fallon had absolutely no chemistry whatsoever , and the book suddenly jumped from autumn saying how much she hated him , to them suddenly dating . i couldn ' t stand fallon , and the book just dragged on . it felt like the story hadn ' t even begun when i was already 3 / 4 through and nothing of interest was happening . it felt like the only reason i was reading was to get another glimpse of violet and kaspar , and when they did appear , t

one of my favourite books from last year was abigail gibb ' s debut ya novel , the dark heroine : dinner with a vampire . needless to say i couldn ' t wait for the next installment - autumn rose . whilst waiting for my copy to arrive in the post , i browsed through some of the reviews on goodreads out of curiosity . they were mixed . some loved it , others were disappointed ; primarily because of the lack of kasper varn and violet lee - the two characters who had us enthralled in dinner with a vampire - some

y’all , i picked up violins of autumn by amy mcauley despite hearing little to no buzz about its release . i love historical ya , and seeing the magic word spy got my reader senses all a - tingle . the wwii backdrop definitely came to life and i found myself very much enjoying most aspects of this story . our intrepid heroine , betty ( code name : adele ) , isn’t satisfied sitting on the sidelines . she lies about her age so she can train to become a spy . along the way she makes an unlikely best friend , falls in love with an american pilot and manages to pull off more than her share of bravery . this all makes for a very engrossing read , y’all ! the one weak spot of violins of autumn is definitely the romance . it isn’t the focus of the story , and while i’m glad…i was disappointed with robbie , the american love interest . bless his heart , he just didn’t do anything for me . i wasn’t feeling the swoons . i did feel a little more with pierre , the french bad - boy resistance fighter . cue the groans – i can hear you guys already . “nooooo ! not another love triangle ! ” well , fear not . i definitely don’t think there was enough development to call it a triangle . just enjoy the boys for what they are and focus on the real strengths of the story ! from parachuting into nazi - occupied france until its liberation by allied forces – we follow adele and see the part she plays in the war . from undercover tours of enemy munitions factories to dodging check - in points on bicycle – there certainly aren’t a lot of dull moments ! then , when things start to go wrong , adele has to ferret out the existence and identity of an unlikely double agent . seriously , i loved seeing adele’s growth throughout violins of autumn . she has to deal with a lot of confusion and growing pains along with the constant pulse of danger . seeing how the war was changing her while at the same time seeing her struggle not to let it ? definitely made the pages keep turning . i found so many passages very elegantly written : “regular life . it still goes on around me . while a kind man was working up the nerve to ask me on a date , i was working up the nerve to kill him with my bare hands . ” if you’re a fan of historical fiction , violins of autumn by amy mcauley is definitely a book you’ll want to pick up !

3 , 5 sterne . band 2 bleibt leider ein wenig hinter dem auftakt zurück . . . ich hatte eigentlich erwartet , dass es direkt mit violet weitergeht . wie geht es ihr nach dem ende ? mich bei autumn einzufinden hat aber nicht lange gedauert , sie ist sympathisch und die geschichte ist spannend . auch fallon wurde mir nach und nach sympathischer ( ebenso wie es bei kaspar der fall war ) . aber ich hatte das gefühl , dass die geschichte sich sehr verändert , auch in ihrer erzählweise , als autumn und violett aufeinand
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment . this sweltering summer of the negro ' s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality . nineteen sixty - three is not an end , but a beginning . and those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual . there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights . the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges .

the film’s anticipated international and domestic success hinges on the depiction of a troubled turning point of turkey in 1955 through a strong cast and technical personnel ; the portrayal of the 1950s ( 1955 ) istanbul - - which was a kaleidoscope of different cultures - - in the setting , costumes and atmosphere of the period . more importantly , it enables viewers to face up to a murky period of turkish politics .
what a mess ! * sighs * i am wretchedly frustrated right now , peeps , considering how much i loved the dark heroine . it took me weeks to get through autumn rose , and i had to push myself all the way through . first of all , autumn rose doesn ' t mention kaspar and violet until its last 20 % . everything in this book happens parallel to the time stamp of the dark heroine but in a different dimension and involving a completely different set of characters . the main heroine , fifteen - year old autumn , is a sage , a magic user and a noble woman , a sagean duchess of england , who goes to a normal school and struggles with her rising power as a seer and her depression due to the loss of her grandmother . no one in her school knows who she really is until prince fallon enrolls in the same school to keep and eye on her , and they start falling in love . straight away i struggled to like autumn . she did not feel like a well developed character , she was disjointed , jumpy , scattered , neurotic . it seemed that i was supposed to admire her but she confused the hell out of me . her relationship with fallon was even worse . they were meant to feel for each other but i wasn ' t seeing it . no spark , zilch , nada . at last there was the whole threat of extermino suspiciously similar to harry potter ' s death eaters and a pretty messy concept of heroines saving the world . from what ? extermino with their conflicting goals ? people like violet ' s father ? i wasn ' t seeing the picture . i perked up a little when kaspar and violet showed up , but the joy didn ' t last . they were described through autumn ' s eyes , her perception , and looked pathetic . she was very judgemental , our girl . so , perhaps , abigail gibbs rushed this book through publication , perhaps she felt like she needed a back story and lacked enthusiasm to write it , but whatever the reason , autumn rose failed to keep me as enthralled as the previous book . i reserve my judgement until book three , hoping it will rekindle my enthusiasm for the series .
2 . 5 stars this was all over the place , i don ' t know what happened but i don ' t think she must have been very enthusiastic about it or was just rushing to finish it . the ' romance ' ( if you can call it that ) between her and fallon was basically non - existent , it was stilted and awkward and there was no character building . i didn ' t like autumn , i felt that her ' depression ' was not realistic , it seemed like it was just thrown in there just for the sake of it . also , violet and kaspar ? autumn was very judge

i ' m not so sure how to rate it
stars * * * i really don ' t know what i ' m feeling about this book ! ! ! it ' s common secret that i loved fiercely the first book and especially that bloodsucker kaspar varn and his violeta . . . in this book the things were different . . . first of all , we were in another dimension , where humans and people with special powers as autumn were living together openly . autumn rose was a girl with magical powers and scars that showing her kind . . . that she is a sage . sages
overall i liked this book . i will admit that this is not my favorite kasie west book . i really enjoyed our main character autumn and the romance was cute but the plot wasn ' t my favorite . would recommend it , it is a cute book but not my favorite contemporary read .

istanbul in the summer of 1955…although the democratic party government has come through the 1954 general elections victoriously , it has entered a continuous process of attrition . the climate of optimism and success experienced during the first few years of power is on the wane . the crisis that erupts between greece and turkey in such an atmosphere leads to the rise of a new wave of nationalistic fervour and offers an opportunity to mask the political failure at home .

* * * review posted on the eater of books ! blog * * * by your side by kasie west publisher : harperteen publication date : january 31 , 2017 rating : 4 stars source : arc sent by the publisher summary ( from goodreads ) : in this irresistible story , kasie west explores the timeless question of what to do when you fall for the person you least expect . witty and romantic , this paperback original from a fan favorite is perfect for fans of stephanie perkins and morgan matson . when autumn collins finds herself accidentall
release date : january 31 , 2017 ehh i feel like 2 . 5 stars is pretty generous . i love kasie west ' s other books , but this one was pretty . . . empty ? like the characters were all shallow and the plot was pretty basic . autumn and dax are locked in a library over a long weekend ( but could have been literally anywhere because they didn ' t care about the books . they watched tv and ate candy bars ) . the first 40 % of the book is them establishing that autumn is rich & has lots of friends , while dax is a cliche loner bad boy with a rep he doesn ' t deserve because he ' s in foster care and went to juvie for good reasons etc . autumn has an anxiety disorder , but it seems like it ' s mostly thrown in as a prop . . . and it ' s pretty much her entire personality . autumn ' s friends are the worst . but that ' s never really addressed , so that ' s just how they all are . none of them get much of a character . they ' re just the people who forgot about her in the library and left for a bonfire , where the guy autumn has a crush on got in a car accident . so the remaining portion of the story is how autumn is torn between the guy she likes who ' s in a coma and the unsociable dax ( because they apparently bonded with in the library ) . she tells dax that they can ' t kiss and he just has to be a happy distraction for her anxiety . idk where the plot even is but there ' s very little emotion anywhere . the story is super short and everything seems to be more of a plot device than anything that actually matters . it still has the light , fluffy tone of kasie west ' s other books and i liked the potential i saw in it for a bit , but by 70 % i was done trying to care much . in the end this feels more like a character study than a full story . but even that doesn ' t exactly work because the characters were all flat . so the main thing this book has going for it is the solid writing and lighthearted tone . i ' d still recommend checking it out if you like this author ! ! thank you to the publisher for sending me an arc
i really really like kasie west ' s writing . it ' s easy and quick to read , but doesn ' t feel just like fluff / brain candy . there ' s a depth and theme / lesson to her stories , which i appreciate . dax and autumn have a strong chemistry , and i enjoyed how dax helped autumn accept herself . i wish the ending wasn ' t as rushed . the whole book is building up to the romance , which is good , i liked the tension that resulted . it kept me reading . however , i felt everything just wrapped up in a few pages and i just
this is one the best stories on the second world war that is more light hearted than others . some of the world war books are very depression and graphic but this was only slightly so . this is an amzing book to read , especially in autumn and i feel it really captures the emotions of the world war and of france . this is set in france , both in the country side and paris . the characters mostly speak french which is translated , but there are french phrases scattered in there which i love . the whole am
to clarify something : this is not a bookish romance . i know a lot of people got excited by the
trapped in the library
teaser , but that setting is pretty irrelevant to the rest of the story . there ' s no indication the main character , autumn , even reads . dax , the cute , mysterious boy stuck in the library with her , does read . . . his own books . he brought his own books to the library . this book is about what you ' d expect from a kasie west book . it ' s a super clean ya contemporary romance with a happy ending . i have to say the
bad boy who is only bad for righteous reasons
is one of my least favorite tropes ever . but i wound up liking righteously - bad - boy dax quite a bit , and he was a much better character than the collective mess that were autumn ' s friends . you see , autumn ' s friends are the reason she spends an entire weekend locked in an under - heated library with barely enough food to eat and no tampons ( no , that didn ' t come up in the book , but , i mean , i ' m just sayin ' ) , because they drive off and leave her there . but don ' t worry ; they don ' t spend a nanosecond feeling guilty about it . the only one of her friends who seemed like a decent human being was jeff , her almost - boyfriend who spends most of the book in a coma . when autumn rejects him , he handles the situation with absolute class . i don ' t think this is west ' s best work , but it ' s an enjoyable , clean cut ya contemporary . i received a copy of this book to review courtesy of the publisher and edelweiss .
* received in exchange for an honest review * * thank you , harper collins * i was so excited to start this book - i absolutely loved dinner with a vampire so was really looking forward to seeing how this story would develop . what i didn ' t expect was for the book to showcase the same events of book one but from autumn rose ' s point of view . i was a little hesitant at first but there is no repetition in the book ; it ' s all new and fresh and i loved this book even more than the first one ! autumn is a much more likeable character and i truly cared about what happened to her and and the royal family . even though this book doesn ' t lead to much progression with regards to the story , it is definitely a great read - truly captivating . i loved learning about the sagean community in this book . it was even more fascinating than the world of vampires in the last . i got so immersed in this community and was eager to learn how the events developed from autumn ' s point of view . it was a very emotional read and filled with so many * feels * moments . it was difficult to see autumn attempting to recover from her grandmother ' s death and coming to terms with her role as guardian at her school . she is responsible for ensuring that the students are safe from the extermino . autumn harbours a few secrets which are slowly revealed as the novel progresses . i really loved reading from her point of view ; everything seemed so much fresher and made for a much nicer read compared to that of violet ' s . it was definitely interesting to see the events unfolding which led to the revelation of violet lee in dinner with a vampire . i love that it has been written like this , but i hope that next bit progresses the story a little more . gibbs ' writing has developed immensely in this book with the world building being much cleaner and the language is more mature . the world that she creates is so captivating , i really couldn ' t put this book down . one of my most anticipated reads of 2014 and it definitely didn ' t disappoint . abigail gibbs is definitely a very talented lady and i ' m looking forward to reading more from her - bring on book three !

i am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations . some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells . some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality . you have been the veterans of creative suffering . continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive . go back to mississippi , go back to alabama , go back to south carolina , go back to georgia , go back to louisiana , go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities , knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed . let us not wallow in the valley of despair .
4 . 5 star review on the blog when i finished the dark heroine : dinner with a vampire about a year ago , it was left me speechless at the beginning and at the end ! since twilight i usually refrained from any books dealing with vampires . it was the cover and the fact that this author began this story at such a young age that captured my attention . violet lee and kaspar varn left me wondering so much . the story continues , however with a twist . violet and kaspar are no longer the center of the story , autumn and fallon are . i assumed the story would pick up right where it left off . i was wrong . i stayed away from early author interviews and blog posts , because i like the element of surprise . surprised i was , to find that autumn rose was the beginning of a new saga that would soon cross paths with violet lee . to my disappointment violet and kaspar are no where in sight until the very end . it’s all about autumn rose . autumn is a sage . bound to guard the humans of the present day from the extermino . she tries very hard to appear to be your average student , in an everyday high school . deep down however , she isn’t . she’s royalty , she’s a protector , a guardian with a mission . she is determined to save and protect those that she is destined to save . along the way she speaks to her grandmother who has died . she looks to her spirit and voice for direction in stressful times . wishing for answers to bring two worlds together . when i was 75 % finished with autumn rose i knew it would be a 4 tree review . however , the ending was a review changer for me . ms . gibbs truly hooked her readers in book 1 with violet’s distressed story and final revelation . she did the same with autumn rose . she provided the reader with so much back story that it gave us a closer look of the settings and missions being presented . i hope my wait for book 3 will not be as long . it is truly exciting to see female protagonists grow and grow within a series . there are several minor characters that know have a story waiting to flow from the pen to paper . this series will continue to go far in so many ways . lastly , there are many questions left unanswered . for me , that is what makes amazing writing !
