 Richard III, Constant Reader Discussion
Richard was ruthless and more than willing to execute anyone in his way but Norwich absolves him of the death of his brother Clarence (their brother King Edward V ordered this with some justification) and doubts that he was responsible for the death of his wife Anne, who more likely died from TB than poison.
As Richard continues to woo her with sweet words, and he is very good indeed, I think she continues to fear him but clings to the hope that his repentance and love are sincere because she may not have much choice in the matter.

Having read the book again from start to finish, I was not surprised to find that it is still as good as I thought it was when I first read it many years ago.
Though I will admit to having first read the Lord of the Rings trilogy and "The Hobbit" when in middle school, I believe "Watership Down" is much easier to read, and thus may find an audience with children in elementary school with the vocabulary of this book.
But rather, the schools are forcing children to read a book that at often times is confusing to some children under the 6th grade level of reading.

The portrait he paints so convincingly is that of a Bush administration populated by political ideologues and characterized by shooting from the hip at targets of opportunity.
Richard Clarke dares to attempt to explain how the administration shirked their responsibilities against Al Queda in order to make a perfidious case for war against perhaps the weakest dictator left on Earth (we now know how weak and contained Saddam was since Gulf I.) That's his first thesis.
For example, he reads Condi Rice's mind and strongly implies she was utterly ignorant about Al Qaeda.
