"Churchill was a man of true grit and perseverance, and his story is covered beautifully in this second volume of his biography. Manchester tracks with new insights this complex, fascinating history without ever losing sight of Churchill the man, a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the British and French pusillanimous policy of appeasement. He was disowned by his own party, dismissed by the BBC and Fleet Street and the social and political establishments as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Pursued by creditors (at one point he had to put up his home for sale), he remained solvent only by writing an extraordinary number of books and magazine articles. During the years 1932–1940, he was tested as few men are. This second volume in William Manchester’s three-volume biography of Winston Churchill challenges the assumption that Churchill’s finest hour was as a wartime leader. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jack is soon off on the crime beat and running on the biggest story he's had since The Poet crossed his path twelve years before - but The Scarecrow knows he's coming. ![]() The investigation leads him to a serial killer known as The Scarecrow, who has worked completely below the police and FBI radar.

At this point, Michigan in 1979, we meet our first real narrator (other than the doctor who delivered him), Mary Penlore. Weylyn’s parents die when he is young, still in kindergarten, and when the state comes to take him, he runs away into the woods and lives with the wolves. ![]() Weylyn can speak with animals, can make things grow, can influence the weather, all of them amazing abilities, but it just feels… normal. From the night of his birth in 1968, he’s been different, and throughout his story – which we see through the eyes of those around him – that fact is proven over and over again. ![]() This story, however, seemed more about finding the ordinary in the extraordinary, and the result was a beautiful story that just didn’t click with me.īeasts starts slowly, with the birth of one Weylyn Grey. Magical realism is a fascinating world to play in, and is, at its heart, about finding magic in everyday life. Have you ever read a book and thought man, the writing is beautiful, the story is interesting, why isn’t it working for me?

The three-hour journey worked as a complete story, even if Grohl, by his own telling, had 20 minutes to squeeze in the last 20 years near the end thanks to curfew, so it's hard to select certain stories as standouts. That success didn't automatically preclude having a home. This was a well-produced stage show, one that relied solely on Grohl's ability to entertain you with his life's journey, from being a little kid hearing the Beatles to becoming a dad and figuring out, while at Young's house, that you could have music and family. This wasn't a guy going up there reading some stories from a book. Because his pacing, his delivery, the way he paused, the performance, the authenticity, the honesty, the emotion were a revelation. Turns out Grohl might need to be the next rock star, after Springsteen, to hit Broadway. ![]() But hearing him talk about the impact Kurt Cobain's death had on him, about being an outcast in Springfield, Virginia, joining Scream, playing with Iggy Pop in Toronto one night, were dazzling. But the songs were less than ten percent of the show, and honestly they were the least interesting part of the night, because Grohl's stories were that compelling. ![]() |
