![]() ![]() The two tales, Alice in Wonderland, and Alice as Herself, seemed as though they rarely had much to do with one another honestly. It wasn’t dislikable, it was simply interesting- and at times, seemed not relevant to the current story. ![]() I found the political view of England, while possibly historically accurate, and interesting way to show Alice growing up. I enjoyed the whimsical attitude of the book and found it as fun and nonsense as the original Lewis Carroll novel.

The prequel novel to Warm Bodies, entitled The New Hunger, follows protagonist (and eventual zombie love interest) Julie as her family tries to survive in a newly-apocalyptic America. As Marion mentions above, that is only a small fraction of the series, so there is plenty more that could be covered in a TV adaptation, even if it cannot bring back Hoult and Palmer. While the Warm Bodies film was fairly well-received and a box office success, it only covers the events of one book in Marion's four-book series. However, with Marion wanting to still see the series go to production, there may still be hope for a Warm Bodies television adaptation after all. Marion says the project has gone " mysteriously silent," and that while he's still involved in the project, it's not in any major capacity. Since the announcement, however, there have been no further updates on the series. ![]() While little else was announced at the time, it was thought that the series would premiere exclusively on a streaming service, rather than on cable. ![]() ![]() In May 2019, it was announced that a Warm Bodies television series was in development, as part of Lionsgate's deal with the film's director, Jonathan Levine. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments Lavondyss![]() ![]() I've previously written up the winners of the BSFA and Clarke Awards in 1990 - respectively Pyramids by Terry Pratchett, and The Child Garden by Geoff Ryman. Cherryh, and the Nebula to Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold. The Best Novel Hugo that year went to Cyteen by C.J. I've read the Banks, Gibson and Shepard I would probably have voted for Banks over this if I were voting, but I'm not sure. The Clarke Award that year went to Unquenchable Fire by Rachel Pollack the Shaw and Shepherd were on the Clarke list as well. Banks, Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson, Kairos by Gwyneth Jones, The Wooden Spaceships by Bob Shaw and Life During Wartime by Lucius Shepard. This won the BSFA Award for 1988 (presented in 1989) the other nominees were The Player of Games by Iain M. Anyone who has ever loved a woodland will connect with this. I really enjoyed it too, though, a great intense exploration of inner space and myth in English wilderness, with a rite of passage combined with quest for lost relative and connection with mythic figures from the collective unconscious.

Essentially the books are an update of Lewis’ Narnia books that subtracts the Christian allegory and adds in modern fantasy attitudes as well as a heavy dose of Shakespeare. These books are technically young adult, but they offer a great deal to interested adults.

This was different than any other paranormal type book that I’ve read. ![]() I love the main character even though I wanted to shake her sometimes. I mean it’s a mixed bag of creatures and people with all types of powerful backgrounds. Rae is forced to make the ultimate choice: to live and die human, or embrace her birth-right and wield magics that could turn her into something wicked, a force of nature nothing can control. Throw in a big lust for a vampire who can’t keep his hands off her, and life starts to get complicated. The changes to her mind and body are startling, but rather than accept her purpose she struggles against who she is destined to be. ![]() ![]() Plunged into a world of dark magics, fierce creatures, and ritual sacrifice, she is charged with a guarding a magical amulet.
