Review 2: When Rylan Williams has to pres. Nevertheless, the way until we reached the epilogue was uneventful and tiring. For sure there was a nice happy ending, even the sisters settled their issues. ![]() Not much happened along the way until finally Rylan realized, oh my god I love him. Pages of inner musings, we only got Rylan's POV which might have added to the whole tiring reading experience.

I really liked the blurb otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Review 1: More like 2.5 starsFinally finished! Reading this book felt like forever. ![]()

![]() ![]() Love and listen to his beautiful enthusiasm. For Steve it was the Angry young men writers and crucial, life-changing encounters with good people and kindred spirits, like hearing Toots and the Maytals and having that precious first glimpse at cool style and attitude. This is a story about being inspired and opening yourself up to great art. I felt it because I did the same thing and so did you. I felt like I was there with him pacing around that empty little apartment wondering what to do and where to go, and if anything different from that boredom was even possible. Yes there are great Crass stories here, but for me the most interesting part is Steve's childhood and adolescence. ![]() If you want to talk punk rock, then I'll say Crass is the ultimate and leave it at that. In fact, he's one of the greatest rock and roll singers for one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. This is the life of an artist, and no need to worry your pretty little heads about it, Steve Ignorant IS an artist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Poisoning Eros I&II – Wrath James White and Monica J.

Influences on Tolkien's artwork identified by scholars include Japonisme, Art Nouveau, Viking design, and William Morris. Posthumously, collections of his artworks have been published, and academics have begun to evaluate him as an artist as well as an author. In his lifetime, some of his artworks were included in his novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings others were used on the covers of different editions of these books. Some of his artworks combined several of these elements to support his fiction. Tolkien prepared illustrations for his Middle-earth fantasy books, facsimile artefacts, more or less "picturesque" maps, calligraphy, and sketches and paintings from life. Tolkien's artwork was a key element of his creativity from the time when he began to write fiction. In early editions it was printed in black on white rather than, as here and as Tolkien wished, in white on black. Despite his best efforts, this was the only drawing, other than maps and calligraphy, in the first edition of The Lord of the Rings.
