Imperium isn’t a novel. It’s an early 1950s restatement of fascist ideology, in nonfiction form.

Shaving isn’t always necessary. I used Nair Bikini Area on my underarms. Works fine.

Call it an homage if you like.

Probably intentionally, this reminds me of some scenes featuring Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars trilogy.

That sounds like the kind of “revenge” he’d take on the media after he loses. Or maybe just go on Fox News. I can here it now: The Donald Trump Show.

Thank you. I’d forgotten that detail. I thought they were childless.

I liked the first two books, because V. Roth made me care about Tris and Four. But Allegiant was a struggle. So many chapters went by where nothing happened! I’d have thrown it against the wall, but that would have broken my ereader.

I can’t look at that robot-driven Johnny Cab without thinking of Bill Macy.

Least favorite: Kes.

Pratt’s and Lawrence’s characters are both gay. :D
