![]() ![]() Nate is laid back and really the normal one of the group. Shen and Hicks have created a great gang of characters here.

It was so easy to invest in the story, especially with the help of the setting and characters. Throughout its chapters, The Troop gave the reader the right amount of questions to build tension and curiosity, and answered them at just the right moments to move the plot forward. ![]() ![]() I personally loved the story and thought it was very well-developed. That said, this book is not for the faint of heart-if you don't like body horror described in detail or extreme animal cruelty and violence, you might have to skip this one, because The Troop wasn’t the slightest bit afraid to go to such extremes. ![]() I feel like this book has built up quite a cult following over the years given the premise and how gruesomely it tackled the idea of campers stuck in an island with a deadly, easily transmittable pathological threat, and I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it. They then find themselves exposed to a biological threat more horrific than they can ever begin to imagine in this story of horror and survival.

In August 2008, Munsch suffered a stroke that affected his ability to speak in normal sentences. Munsch has obsessive-compulsive disorder and has also suffered from manic depression. The Munsches have since become adoptive parents of Julie, Andrew and Tyya (see them all in Something Good!) This book was listed fourth on the 2001 Publishers Weekly All-Time Best selling Children's Books list for paperbacks at 6,970,000 copies (not including the 1,049,000 hardcover copies).

Robert Munsch was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ![]() ![]() ![]() In order to understand how the Romans managed to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory (or at least survival) Goldsworthy says we need to look at Roman politics, or what I would call Roman "political culture." In Goldsworthy's telling, the Roman political elite forgot what the empire was for, that is, to serve the interests of the Romans (the "Res publica"). Moreover, even at its weakest moments, the Empire was hugely more powerful than any of its competitors. The late Roman Empire was ill, but it was hardly on its death bed in the third and fourth centuries. He proposes that structural explanations-governmental inefficiency, economic decline, imperial overstretch and the 207 others-are fine, but they really won't do the job in this case. Happily, Adrian Goldsworthy's How Rome Fell: Death of a Superpower (Yale UP, 2009) does a marvelous job of boiling it all down. Historical events are complex, but historical writing must be parsimonious if it is to achieve its primary aim, that is, to make the past clear to us. But 210 reasons do not amount to a satisfying explanation. ![]() ![]() No wonder Gibbon said that we should stop "inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed," but rather "be surprised that it lasted so long."
