In 1819, the 240-ton Essex set sail from Nantucket on a routine voyage. Fifteen months later, in the farthest reaches of the South Pacific, it was repeatedly rammed and sunk by an 80-ton bull sperm whale. Its 20-man crew, fearing cannibals on the islands to the west, made for the 3,000-mile-distant coast of South America in three tiny boats. During 90 days at sea under horrendous conditions, the survivors clung to life as one by one, they succumbed to hunger, thirst, disease, and fear.

It was long and drawn out.
Would not recommend. Storyline is predictable.

He was a model citizen. A hospital volunteer. And one of the most sadistic serial killers of all time. But few people could see the cruel monster beneath the colorful clown makeup that John Gacy wore to entertain children in his Chicago suburb. Few could imagine what lay buried beneath his house of horrors—until a teenage boy disappeared before Christmas in 1978, leading prosecutor Terry Sullivan on the greatest manhunt of his career.

A Huge Failure of the System
Revisado: 06-15-23
The system failed these children. What a tragic childhood.
I cannot understand how the mother let this happen for DECADES, and even partook in the beatings at one point.
Goes against (almost) every mother’s instinct to protect her cubs.
These JWs are a bunch of useless hypocrites.
Too bad the gun malfunctioned when the twins tried to shoot this psycho.

When a fancy car pulls up outside six-year-old Marie's home in 1959, her dad tells her she is going on holiday. But little does she know she will not see her home again for four long years. Her family cannot afford to keep her at home. Marie tells the story of how she was taken away from a poor but happy and loving home life to live in a convent - away from everyone and everything she holds dear. Her hair is bluntly chopped, her clothes are taken away and her name is changed. Then a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Spoiled, Entitled Brats
Revisado: 01-23-23
I am absolutely baffled by the reviews praising these entitled and hypocritical little brats.
While I am no fan of the British Monarchy, I must admit that I felt sorry for Harry at the onset of this book. Life in a fishbowl can’t be easy, despite all the perks!
That changed with his incessant gushing over his manipulative shrew of a wife. Move over, Mother Theresa, here comes ‘M!’
She can do no wrong.
Other than his Nazi costume debacle, H and M take responsibility for pretty much…nothing.
(He did, however, throw his brother and sister-in-law ‘slightly’ under the bus for giving him the apparent ‘thumbs up’ to the Nazi costume.)
Was it really necessary to drag out every dirty detail of this family? Low blows were plentiful and unnecessary (ie: balding William, Pa’s emotional disconnect, the Queen’s complacency.)
These are two whiny and ungrateful parasites who incessantly point their fingers at everyone but themselves; it’s always everyone else’s fault pretty much throughout the entire book.
Harry’s crime is a simple lack of intelligence. The real brain of this operation is Markle, who zeroed in on Harry’s almost desperate neediness and desire for a wife and family. (Seems no woman was interested in taking him on and flew the coop quickly after realizing the baggage he drags along with him.)
What a great opportunity to elevate herself, this “c” rate actress, into a life of fame and fortune?
The capitalizing on Diana is incessant and unbelievably shameless. Cha-ching 🤑 !
These two need a swift kick in their asses, and a serious reality check.

After a childhood spent on Hollywood film sets, Meghan Markle fought hard for stardom. But even when she landed her breakthrough role on Suits, her dream of worldwide celebrity remained elusive until she met the man who would change her life—Prince Harry. Their whirlwind romance culminated with Meghan’s ultimate fairy tale ending: their 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. Finally, the world was her stage. It seemed that the dizzying success of the wedding between the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked the beginning of a fresh era for the British Royal Family.

Two Entitled Snotballs
Revisado: 09-11-22
These two jerks can be summed up in a few words:
Hypocritical money-hungry opportunistic spoiled brats.
Going on and on about “wanting to change the world for the better” yet they don’t seem to get along with anyone except for big name celebrities.
Charity starts at home, pinheads!
Put your money where your mouth is and start walking the big talk.
These two need a swift kick in the ass.

Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russel Faria returned to his Troy, Missouri, home to find his wife, Betsy, dead, a knife still lodged in her neck. She had been stabbed 55 times in a brutal murder that would set off a chain of events leading to one man's wrongful conviction and imprisonment, another man's death, the revelation of a diabolical scheme, and an astounding miscarriage of justice left unresolved for another 10 years.

Fourteen-year-old Carey and six-year-old Jenessa have been living in the woods with their mother for as long as they can remember; the sheltering trees and a broken-down camper are all they know. But what they’ve never been told is that Carey vanished from the real world ten years ago, when their mother took her, causing an uproar in the media - and in her father’s life.

Well-written story about love, and two sisters bound by heart-breaking trauma and neglect.
Reminds me of “The Glass Castle” to a certain extent.
Highly recommended.
