Through savage wit, Beatty forces the reader to face the deep underlying social tensions that still prevail throughout American society.įocussing on a protagonist known only by his surname, ‘Me’, the novel follows the narrator in his radical and outrageous scheme to reintroduce segregation in his impoverished neighbourhood of Dickens. Uncomfortable, heartbreaking and yet jarringly hilarious, The Sellout takes aim at racism and the lasting impact of white supremacist ideology on the black community. However, Beatty’s novel not only completely proved my assumptions to be ill-founded, but has also firmly rooted itself as one of my favourite reads of 2018. With this in mind, I picked up Paul Beatty’s fourth Man- Booker winning novel The Sellout, fully expecting disappointment. I have lost count of the amount of award winning texts that have left me cold despite the hype generated by the established critical panels. ![]() I must admit, I usually find myself disappointed by highly praised literary works. “Well, I’ve whispered ‘Racism’ in a post-racial world.”’ ![]() ‘”It’s illegal to yell “Fire!” in a crowded theatre, right?” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are looking for rules that are not listed please contact Customer Service at and we will try our best to find what you are looking for and add them to our game rule library.

My computer isn’t showing a red squiggly line beneath that, so apparently it’s a real name, but how in the name of StarClan does one actually pronounce it? Like, yeah, I speak French, but I still don’t know how to pronounce that tongue-twister.) and she sees the mermaid come up to shore and recognizes her as a mermaid. ![]() On page four of this book, we have the mermaid saving our “prince” character from drowning, as happens in the original story. Where did this author learn how to worldbuild? Let’s start with the first aspect that the author mangled from the original. The prose, on a technical level, didn’t make me cringe. In fact, there were zero good things about this book. As an author who has written a retelling of HCA’s The Little Mermaid, all I can say is… this book did everything wrong.Īgain, even though I usually do a “three good things, three bad things” review, this book didn’t have enough good things going for it for me to follow my usual review format. So how is it that this is a one-star DNF? I don’t even know. I especially love mermaids and The Little Mermaid fairy tale. This book should have been able to get a four-star review from me, or even a five. Why isn’t this book any good? It should have been really good. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s called gleaning, and this act of scythes is a major focus in each of the books–but it’s the heart of this anthology collection. It’s the commandment to ensure scythes keep the human population under control in a world where death has been conquered. The YA dystopian collection is non-linear, with some narratives providing origin stories, others diving into new characters, and others enlightening us about events following The Toll. Gleanings is set in the same world as the previous installments, although it doesn’t exactly pick up where The Toll (Arc of a Scythe #3) left off. Gleanings: Stories from the Arc of a Scythe succeeds in similar measures, although the stories will likely only be truly captivating for adamant fans of the Scythe series. Thought-provoking and entertaining, Scythe and its sequels serve up adventure, romance, and challenging ethical dilemmas in a world post-mortality. In 2016, Neal Shusterman elevated the YA dystopian genre with the release of Scythe.
