![]() ![]() Reed Henske is a personal trainer who isn’t sure he’ll ever be ready to date again. In a vain attempt at getting his boyfriend back, Henry does the most absurdly frightening thing he can think of. Joel is such a talent, skillful not just at storytelling, but also incredible at voices and accents.Īfter being dumped by his long-term boyfriend for being overweight, Henry Beckett decides to make some drastic changes. And narrator Joel Leslie did a really great job at conveying the couple. Though I’m not a big fan of single perspective narratives as I often feel like I’m missing part of the story and a couple, Henry shines bright enough to carry things, and I still felt like I understood Reed in the end. ![]() And important lessons are learned about outward appearances not being a great way to judge a person and their feelings.īoth these guys just blossomed together, it was a joy to witness. But I appreciated that he would still call Henry out when he needed to. ![]() While Henry had a lot of self-esteem issues, thanks to a crappy ex and some body image issues, Reed only wanted to build him up and make him feel good about himself.

And Reed was the sweetest, kindest man. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Events like the partial meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear complex in Japan, the political upheavals in Egypt and Libya, and the killing of Osama bin Laden, all from this year, are combed into his arguments.) Mr. It is searching, impartial and alarmingly up to date. ![]() Yergin is back with a sequel to “The Prize.” It is called “The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World,” and, if anything, it’s an even better book. ![]() Such is his influence that one half expects his competitors to file antitrust litigation against him. Yergin, operating as a kind of one-man think tank, has had a virtual monopoly on the subject of energy and geopolitics. It was a best seller, won a Pulitzer Prize and was tailored into a popular PBS mini-series. Daniel Yergin is America’s most influential energy pundit, and the book that put him on the map was “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power” (1991). ![]() |
