The Broken Man

Theon is another character who has spent seasons being broken to pieces. Every time Yara says you drink, you drink! So after slapping a few butts, Yara went to get laid off screen. I do believe that is our first outright lesbian character, yes? But what was striking is that, in the end, it was Robb Stark who seems to have really sealed the deal when it came to their inability to get men to follow the name of Stark.

Jon will go to war anyway, with the army he has, not the one he wishes he had. How she understood what this single drawing of the Tyrell rose meant is up for the viewer to decide. She recognized the warning: She kicked Cersei as hard as she could—as hard as the Blackfish kicked Jaime up at Riverrun. But there was no one riding higher, or who had farther to fall this week, than Arya. A new change of clothes, a few bags of money, and a willing captain to take her back across the Narrow Sea and she would be fine. Within moments of her success in securing a ride home, she was brought all the way down with a knife to the gut—the sort of deadly wound that takes days to kill a man.

Arya was injured, down for the count. But those hours and hours of training kicked in, and she rolled into the bay, hiding in the water in hopes the Waif would really think her dead. The Hound was saved by Brother Ray, the leader of a community, and has a peaceful life working as woodman. When three men from the Brotherhood threaten the villagers, The Hound is worried about but Brother Ray does not believe in violence anymore.

Margaery seems to be converted by the High-Sparrow, but when she learns that her grandmother Oleanna Tyrrell is in danger, she contacts her to convince Oleanna to leave King's Landing. Sansa and Davos are searching for allies to vanquish Ramsay and retake Winterfell. Jaime and Bronn arrive at the Blackfish Castle and Jaime tries to convince him to surrender to the siege to his castle.

Theon and Yara are resting in a brothel and waiting for uncle Euron's attack. Arya makes arrangements to return to Westeros but she is stabbed by the Waif. Came to 'Game of Thrones' fairly late in the game and due to being so busy the binge-watching was gradual. Have found myself truly loving the show, very quickly becoming one of my favourites. It totally lives up to the hype and not only does it do the brilliant source material justice a rarity in television it is on its own merits one of the finest, most addictive and consistently compelling shows in recent years and quality-wise it puts a lot of films in recent years to shame.

That is in no way a knock because it is still a great episode that has almost everything that makes 'Game of Thrones' such a favourite. It doesn't matter that "The Broken Man" is not the most action-packed episode, that there aren't the big moments quite on the same level as other episodes and that it doesn't have as many bold revelations. What "The Broken Man" does brilliantly is the characterisation and development. One of the best episodes of Season 6 in this regard, plentiful and very rich, never less than interesting.

Small Council: What did you think of “The Broken Man?”

It is one of those setting up episodes and putting things into place, again doing a great job with that and in a way that forwards momentum and like things are leading somewhere. It also does better than the previous Season 6 episodes for me actually in feeling the most like the first two seasons and like the show had gone back to its roots, possibly too the best Season 6 in general got in achieving this. No knocking here, just really liked that there was a return to this story approach.

Did feel that Arya's scenes were a little rushed and didn't fit as comfortably as the rest of the more relevant and bigger events did, her biggest moment her attack is shocking though. Other than that, there are standout elements in the story and characters. In particular Sandor's return, the introduction of Lyanna, Blackfish an awesome character , Jaime and Blackfish's interaction and the Riverrun siege. Have no issue with the performances with not a bad performance in the bunch, with the introductory and returning characters making just as much an impression as the regulars.

See a Problem?

Rory McCann is pretty scintillating, as is Clive Russell with some of the episode's best lines. The scenery is throughout spectacular, the sets are hugely atmospheric and beautiful on the eyes with a real meticulous eye for detail and the costumes suit the characters to a tee. The make-up is beautifully done.

As well the cinematography and editing, which are cinematic quality as well.

One cannot talk about "The Broken Man" without mentioning the thematically, orchestrally and atmospherically multi-layered music scoring and the unforgettable main theme. Jan 23, Sue rated it it was amazing. Once again another brilliant read by Josephine Cox. Um livro muito bem escrito, de leitura compulsiva. Jul 13, Zieglberry rated it it was ok.

The plot is interesting enough but the writing is choppy and awkward. Dec 15, Mazliza rated it liked it. May 27, Joan Hill rated it really liked it. Mar 06, Rural Soul rated it did not like it. The "Bestseller" tag tricked me to buy this from stall. This book is written in an ordinary style.

I dont know how can she write like that with a lot of blunders, for example the era which is shown in book is s but writer doesn't make effort to make us realized that. The boy is very young but in his dialogues, he seems 30 years old. Story is so predictable. Writers shuffles in every chracter's mind in every chapter as its unlike The "Bestseller" tag tricked me to buy this from stall. Writers shuffles in every chracter's mind in every chapter as its unlike to qaulity novels written in 3rd person narration. A book which can hit home emotionally.

The Story of this young boy and the events which unfold is upsetting to say the least. Throughout the whole book, my favourite friendship was between Anne and Sally. I do have some issues, just things I wasn't too keen on. This is a well written book which passes scenes over like it was a movie.

For the first part of the book, you spend a good few hours in-book time reading about this young boy Adam and his close friendship with Phil. I do feel however, so A book which can hit home emotionally. I do feel however, sometimes, it felt like the writing was just there to fill in the pages. The constant remarks about the same subject straight after another was something I didn't like. Sometimes it just got to the stage where it felt a little repetative.

As the book progresses, the book really does start to pick up and it's a really enjoyable read.

I also didn't feel like the scenes was placed good. Sometimes you wouuld read about something, then it just cuts to something else. Then, you will get a scene which back tracks to the point it left at, a good few pages back. It got a little confusing. Another thing was the missing sections. Things we just never found out. I'm not going to spoil any of the story but sometimes when reading, I was just left pondering to myself, what did he do next?

There is just certain sections of the book which feel was a little empty. Almost as though they have just been cut from the book. This is my first read of a Josephine Cox book. I did really enjoy reading this book.

I do rate this book high. It became addictive to read. Chega-se ao final e pensa-se: Afinal como terminou x e y? Feb 26, Eileen Horgan rated it liked it Recommends it for: I received this enjoyable book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I believe this talented Author is ignoring a very valuable target market who would absolutely love her books, that is the childrens' market. Josephine Cox has a very unique style of writing in that she describes everything step by step, leaving nothing to the imagination because she explains every scenario in great detail and the boys in my school Library would love her style of writing.

The children's market has I received this enjoyable book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This story revolves around a young boy who's Mother has died in horrific circumstances. The story of the friendship between Adam and his former school bus driver is followed through the next seven years. A simple story connecting several characters in an unusual way, it is quite predictable -I could see it appealing to teenagers.

Winter is Coming

A bit in the line of Goodnight Mr Tom, this feel-good book was actually refreshing to read and yes, people who are as kind as the characters in this book really do exist and it is good for younger people to realise that. Well done Josephine Cox but please consider that his book, with a brighter cover, minus a few elements would have been a major hit for children. Just like 'Wonder' by R. Jul 11, Jim rated it did not like it Recommends it for: Two abandoned books in a row.

I've really got to start reviewing good books too, but I suppose my motivation is to warn you of danger ahead: Thank goodness I use the library. This novel started off fairly fluently, establishing the relationship between the older bus-driver Phil, and young Adam. Cox tells us that Adam is seven years old, but swiftly has him involved in dialogue that wouldn't disgrace a thirty year old. The blurb on the back of the book says that Adam is twelve, but even then Two abandoned books in a row. The blurb on the back of the book says that Adam is twelve, but even then it's a bit of a stretch to see him helping his father with his accounts and stocks and shares.
