Negative Review (2.0 out of 5 stars)

Glosso, another reader from the United States, expressed dissatisfaction with the book's writing style. They found the writing to be bad, with numerous issues related to grammar and verbosity.

Negative Review (1.0 out of 5 stars)

Negative Review (2.0 out of 5 stars)

Theresa and Steve, a love story for the ages.. part 2

Part 2: A little ditty about Jack and Theresa. This will be short.

In chapter 3, Theresa goes to Boston College. Before she even has time to settle down, guys are already staring at her in the cafeteria.

”There was a group of kids at a nearby table looking at me. A girl learns to read expressions. ”

Every time Norman describes how girls/women think, I lose a brain cell.

”One boy was intently looking at me. I called him Mr. Intense. He was very handsome, with short hair as black as my own, and he was around six feet which was a good match for my five feet four inches. I liked taller guys and apparently he liked smaller girls. He wasn’t gawking at a pretty girl, or lusting for her body. He looked interested. And that’s ok. A girl gets used to being looked at.”

This is Steve. She’s basically in love with him already. What’s the difference between lusting for her body and being ”interested”?

My experience is that most women don’t enjoy being stared at, but men think we do. Norman reminds me of those insufferable guys who think women’s main task on Earth is to attract men. He probably is one of those guys.

In Theresa’s case, of course, she’s already being watched by 400 government agents, so she should be used to it. But I don’t think Norman considered that here. She doesn’t even question whether Steve is a watcher, and that’s why he’s so intently staring at her. This chapter has zero HAL and discusses Theresa like she was an ordinary college student. There’s just one brief interlude - which I will skip here - about her watchers being caught by campus cops.

One of Norman’s issues as a writer is that he doesn’t even try to fit different parts of the book together. This chapter is about Jack and Steve, so HAL is not relevant here. You’d think if Theresa gives off heat and has super strength, that would be mentioned at least in passing. The boys would notice she gives off heat, right? Or she could slip up and use her powers by mistake. That would have made the book much more interesting. Theresa’s career as a baseball player is also completely dropped, she has no interest in joining college level teams, and no one is pressuring her to do so.

” But it wasn’t Mr. Intense who made the first move. A boy next to him, Mr. Fastmove, brought his food tray over to my table.”

Mr. Intense is organic, if unoriginal, but Mr. Fastmove… There is a moving company called Fastmove, but apart from that, I didn’t find much on google. Maybe Norman coined this phrase.

”Hi,” said Mr. Fastmove. “Can I sit here?”

“Sure,” I said with a smile. I had been advised to be friendly from day one or be labeled a tease for the rest of our four years.”

Oh no Norman. No no no. No.

”I’m Jack Koster,” said Mr. Fastmove. “Aren’t you Theresa Sullivan, the baseball player?”

I had been on television a lot.”

Gotta work in those brags at every opportunity. Once you mention his real name, you can drop the nickname, but I think Norman is just proud of what he did here. Also note there is NO description whatsoever of Jack’s looks or manner, just that he came to her table. Norman isn’t even trying.

“I am,” I said, and we were off and running. I noticed that Mr. Intense looked disappointed. It made me think of someone whose neighbor won the lottery.”

Being with Theresa is like winning the lottery. Our humble girl.

I genuinely don’t understand why she hooks up with Jack at all. All she had to do was say ”nice to meet you” and walk away. She shouldn’t feel obligated to date the boy who happens to talk to her first.

Next, Theresa looks up both boys on BC’s computer system where, in 2017, ”BC provided free disk space and all the students were urged to set up a webpage about themselves before they got to school.” Norman probably wrote this part in 2001 and forgot to change it.

This is all she says about Jack:

” Jack was a boy from close to New York City but not in it. His father was owner of a specialty food store. Jack was going to be a history major, a guarantee of a job in his father‘s store.”

Is Norman negging history majors? This reminds me of a skit show that advertised college degrees, including a 13-year degree for really dumb students who are just killing time before they get a job in their father’s business. Maybe Norman thinks history is equally pointless. (With the exception of Joan of Arc.)

But enough about Jack, who cares about the boy she’s actually going to date. Let’s talk about Steve.

” Mr. Intense was Steve Hartley. His father was a physicist for Intel and Steve was majoring in physics too. That was interesting. He mentioned he was Catholic. Also interesting. ”

Wow, a Catholic boy in a Catholic college? How interesting.

”Steve’s page showed the kid of a research physicist, precise, succinct, and somewhat lacking in spontaneity. Something like myself, actually. It wasn’t a bad thing, except in reality TV shows where they have to keep the gab going all the time.”

Just date him already. You can’t fully know someone’s personality just based on whatever ”webpage” they set up, either. He’s still a complete stranger. The mention of reality shows really ruins this paragraph, too. If people in reality shows just sat silently, it wouldn’t be very good TV. Norman has to work in every single pet peeve of his. This is a typical problem for people writing their first story.

” Jack knew I was not the kind of girl who had to put up with foul language or crude jokes, and he carefully avoided them. He was one smooth operator.”

*headdesk* Being a ”smooth operator” isn’t necessarily a good thing, and is in fact associated with manipulating others. I don’t even know what Norman means here.

” One Sunday Steve saw me at Mass. He looked embarrassed, like somebody who had missed his chance, not somebody who did something bad. Well, four years is a long time and the campus had a lot of women. ”

Why are you even looking at him when you’re dating someone else?

”Steve seemed nice in person. He always gave me a little smile like he was glad to see me. He and Jack were casual friends and apparently didn’t talk about me. But I’d seen the looks. Steve was genuinely interested. ”

Yes, you already made this point. She’s going on about Steve and his interest, while dating Jack. Wouldn’t that be a sin, dating a boy you don’t care about and spending all your time admiring another boy? It doesn’t seem like something a good Catholic girl would do.

”There was nothing wrong with dating Jack for a while. It was already clear that we were not compatible enough for a lifetime of commitment. He was a little careless about schoolwork and had no passion for his major. I was fanatical about mine. But Jack was fun to be around for the time being.”

She’s fanatical about her major, which she doesn’t even name here. Spoiler alert: it’s math, which she picked because it was meant to help with HAL? I’m not sure how that would have worked. Later on, she says that all she ever wanted was to be a high school math teacher, something she never mentions before that moment.

After Jack comes to her table, there is not a single scene where Theresa and Jack talk to each other alone, or go on a date. Not a single one. Jack is never fleshed out. What does he look like? Is Theresa attracted to him at all? What’s his personality like? If he has many stories to tell, you could give an example and have him tell a compelling story. That would have been interesting.

One of the more famous triangle dramas was on ”The Office”. Roy was initially established as a jerk, but he was kind to Pam at least sometimes, and he truly tried to better himself. We knew she would end up with Jim, but Roy was not a complete monster, and he seemed human. Jack has no personality, no description, nothing. I believe KrimsonRogue said that the characters are somehow less than two-dimensional, and Jack definitely fits that description. He’s like a cardboard cutout of a boy.

”Come October it was Homecoming week, always a big weekend on any college campus. There were many special activities going on and we had to choose a list.”

Remember this later when she claims BC has no entertainment or parties at all.

”Friday nights, the kids would ‘hang‘ around, meaning drift up and down the dormitory hall talking and joking with anybody there. ”

How do you do, fellow kids?

”Jack’s door was open and I walked in. There were six boys visiting Jack including Steve Hartley, and one girl.”

I guess it’s relevant for later that Steve is there, but it still sounds like she only has eyes for him.

As Theresa walks into the room, an awkward silence falls.

”Hi, Theresa” said Jack with not a lot of enthusiasm. “This is Ginny.”

“Hi” I said. There was not much else to say until I found out something.

“Ginny dropped in by surprise” Jack said.

”Yeah! I could see that! I couldn’t remember seeing her around campus, or at least not in our complex. She might be somebody from outside.”

This would be a lot more powerful if Theresa actually gave a damn about Jack.

Also names. Ginny is short for Virginia. There is another character called Virginia later in the book, just like there’s another character called Jack. I doubt Norman has read ”Harry Potter”; he probably knew young girls called Virginia when he was growing up. What’s wrong with age appropriate names for 2017? Emily, Sophia, Madison?

”The embarrassing silence continued. Ginny looked very uncomfortable. She had known no more about me than the other way around. Ginny’s position near Jack made it clear she considered herself his girlfriend.”

Jack has to be discarded so Theresa can be with Steve. For some reason, Theresa can’t just tell him they’re incompatible and she’s not interested in pursuing the relationship in the long term. He has to cheat on her, because this gives Theresa the moral high ground to dump Jack and move straight onto Steve.

Norman probably thinks this is a great twist and the readers will be aghast at Jack’s behavior, but it just comes off as flat. He’s shitty, but there’s no stakes, because they hardly have a relationship at all.

Jack promises to come up to Theresa’s room to talk.

”I went back upstairs. This was the most humiliating experience I ever had. All those boys were watching.”

This at least is a normal human reaction to the events, I’ll give Norman that. But Theresa isn’t truly sad, she’s just embarrassed. It’s not her heart, but her ego that is wounded.

And this is where the different editions begin. Buckle up for a wild ride through Norman’s weird imagination in part 3: roads diverged in the Kindle, and that made all the difference.

A Film Of Influence: Kurosawa's Seven Samurai

As mentioned in the previous blog post, Akira Kurosawa was an extremely influential filmmaker. Of his vast collection of masterpieces, one stands above them all in terms of overall influence and quality: Seven Samurai. It was only briefly described before, but here there’ll be a deeper dive into the film since there’s only so much a paragraph can say about a nearly three-and-a-half-hour-long movie.

youtube

This 1954 action-adventure samurai film revolves around a village of farmers being harassed by bandits, and in response they recruit a band of seven samurai to help defend themselves. Throughout the runtime, these samurai clash with not only the bandits, but each other, and themselves as they attempt to work together to help this community of farmers. Dense in rich, entertaining, philosophical, and hopeful storytelling, it’s truly a feast for the mind alongside the eye. With all of the layers of quality to it, there’s a clear reason as to why it was so influential to many other films to come after it.

When the west went to adapt this story of samurai, they substituted the katana-wielding and honor-bound warriors with the righteous cowboy. One of the earlier American remakes of the film was 1960’s The Magnificent Seven, but alongside this was a handful of other westerns such as the ones of Sergio Leone. Its story is so strong and withstands the holds of time that they made another remake of The Magnificent Seven in 2016, which would not only build upon the original namesake, but also continue to take from the original idea of Seven Samurai. In an LA Times article, the writer-director of the 2016 film cited the inspiring anti-cynicism found in Seven Samurai as one of the major appeals of the film, saying that, “People like the concept of honor; they like to root for underdogs,” Alongside that, another major appeal of the film is how well-crafted Kurosawa had made it.

In an essay by David Ehrenstein for Criterion, he describes the way that Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai was unlike many films of its kind. At a time where Japanese films were described by Kurosawa as “bland” and period films were typically slow-paced theatrics, he created his film in the style of a action-packed Hollywood epic. Moving at a breakneck pace at points, the film’s long runtime breezes by, even with its four-minute intermission. Assisting the film’s personality were the performances, as these historical characters carried a more contemporary feeling to their auras.

One actor of great respect who often collaborated with Kurosawa was Toshiro Mifune, who in this film plays a character of great depth and is bursting with personality. He screams, he cries, is foolish, and just goes to show the entire range of emotions he possibly can throughout the runtime. In the film, there’s a scene where the character Mifune plays, named Kikuchiyo, is handed a child by one of the peasant farmers as she dies. Holding the child in his arms, he collapses with a feeling of overwhelming grief and cries out, seeing himself in the child. It’s in a scene like this, where there’s deep, weighted emotion amidst the grandiose action, that the film’s longstanding power is shown.
