Apollo’s Song follows the tragic journey of Shogo, a young man whose abusive childhood has instilled in him a loathing for love so profound he finds himself compelled to acts of violence when he is witness to any act of intimacy or affection whether by human or beast. His hate is such that the gods intervene, cursing Shogo to experience love throughout the ages ultimately to have it ripped from his heart every time. From the Nazi atrocities of World War II to a dystopian future of human cloning, Shogo loses his heart, in so doing, healing the psychological scars of his childhood hatred. Master storyteller Osamu Tezuka’s Apollo’s Song is a lyrical tour-de-force on the human spirit, the destruction of hate, and the triumph of love.

Don't you kind of hate how we have joined the decadent stage of Goodreads when probably fifty percent (or more) of the evaluations compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now nude and unabashed within their variously successful efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you type of pine (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were consistently plainspoke Don't you kind of hate how we have joined the decadent stage of Goodreads when perhaps fifty per cent (or more) of the opinions published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually bare and unabashed inside their variously successful efforts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you type of maple (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were uniformly plainspoken, only practical, unpretentious, and -- above all else -- boring, dull, boring? Don't you sort of hate when persons state'don't you think in this manner or sense that way'in an endeavor to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically in to accepting using them? In what of ABBA: I really do, I do, I do(, I do, I do). Properly, since the interwebs is a world by which the past stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we could review the past in its inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at the least till this website eventually tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in its entirety. I have bound it with huge rope and dragged it here for your perusal. (Please recognize that many a sic are recommended in the following reviews.) its really complex and silly! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is good! There you've it. Refreshingly, not just a review prepared in one of many witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Only a primal scream unleashed into the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teen, but I admire his ability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation with an economy and a clarity that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's report on exactly the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he is the'Problems Architect'here at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in so it implies that he designs problems... which can be the case, for many I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you do not want to read is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to start with, if it absolutely was supposed to be read, then it would be a novel, not a play. On top of that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for every character for a couple pages). None folks had browse the play before. None of us wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared as if they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to create me virtually hate reading classics for something similar to 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And yes it can definitely fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the author and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play you then have sinned and are going to hell, in the event that you believe in hell. If not, you're planning to the DMV. I'm also fed up with all you could smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a message overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age when we are taught to respect each other's differences, it seems offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to expect others tokowtow on your petty linguistic rules. Creative expression will certainly free on its own regardless of how you might try to help shackle it. That is definitely your sign, Aubrey. With our opinion, this play Macbeth appeared to be a worste peice ever written by Shakespeare, and this also says a great deal looking at in addition, i go through their Romeo and Juliet. Ontop regarding it can be witout a doubt incredible plot of land, impractical personas and also absolutly discusting set of ethics, Shakespeare freely portrays Woman Macbeth for the reason that genuine vilian while in the play. Looking at she actually is mearly your voice within the spine game and also Macbeth himself is actually truely spending this ugly crimes, such as kill and also deception, I don't realise why it is so quick to believe in which Macbeth could be inclined to accomplish great in lieu of bad if only the better half were being extra possitive. I really believe that participate in is usually uterally unrealistic. Although these is the ne plus ultra associated with classic ebook reviewing. When succinct and also without drawing attention desire to be able to coyness or even cuteness, Jo's critique alludes to your aggression and so outstanding that it is inexpressible. One particular imagines some Signet Traditional Models compromised in order to parts using pruning shears inside Jo's vicinity. I hate the following play. Because of this that will Could not actually present you with every analogies and also similes with regards to what amount My partner and i hate it. An incrementally snarkier style will often have reported a thing like...'I dispise the following enjoy similar to a simile I cannot occur with.' Not really Jo. The lady addresses your organic, undecorated reality unfit to get figurative language. And also there is nothing wrong together with that. As soon as around a great even though, when you invest in neck-deep within dandified pomo hijinks, it can be a good wallow inside the pig dog pen you happen to be itchin'for. Thank you so much, Jo. I like anyone with a in vain greedy in similes which cannot solution a bilious hate as part of your heart. You're mine, and also I will be yours. Figuratively chatting, regarding course. Now and here is the assessment: Macbeth through Bill Shakespeare is best literary operate inside The english language terminology, and anyone that disagrees is undoubtedly an asshole and also a dumbhead.
