Nick gets further and further sucked into the game, even as the game’s quests get creepier. After finally getting his hands on one, Nick enters the immersive computer game world of Erebos, where the graphics are amazing, the music is almost hypnotic, and the game reacts to you almost like a living, learning creature. Erebos is the story of high school student Nick who notices some funny things going on at his school–his friend Colin becomes withdrawn and no longer answers his texts or comes to basketball practice, other students are consistently absent, and some people are secretively passing around a CD. So as a lifelong fan of video games, I was looking forward to picking up Erebos, by Ursula Poznanski. I play a mean Pikachu and Toon Link in Super Smash Bros.: Brawl, and can still remember the first time my friend R and I beat final boss Master Hand in the original Super Smash Bros. At various times, my brother, father, and I have simultaneously played computer games like Morrowind, City of Heroes, and of course, World of Warcraft. I cut my baby teeth on the Sega Genesis (and totally dominated at Sonic 2 and The Lion King), graduated to the Playstation, and fell in love with the GameCube. With a gamer for a dad, we grew up always having computer and video games around the house.

There is no doubt that Gandhi was a highly moral person with a sincere dedication to achieve justice through non-violent means. Augustine, for example, Gandhi is aware that all of his stories and moral lessons will have a political impact on the reader. (Albert Schweitzer, for example, dismissed him as "naive".) STORY OF MY EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH is Gandhi's spiritual autobiography, yet unlike THE CONFESSIONS of St. It is hard to think of another major political figure of the twentieth century who was so widely venerated and ignored, sometimes at the same time, or else posthumously. There are statues of Gandhi from Central Park in New York to Havana. Ironically, and perhaps also inevitably, it was left up to American conservatives, from NATIONAL REVIEW to COMMENTARY magazines, to point out that the Gandhi up on the screen was not the real deal but the creation of a white British liberal, Richard Attenborough. When the movie GANDHI won the Academy Award for Best Picture back in the 1980s Hollywood liberals joked that it was because he represented everything everyone in Hollywood wanted to be: "thin, tanned, and moral". "If Gandhi had to face off against the French he would have gone to meet his god a long time ago".-Ho Chi Minh "Saints should always be presumed guilty until proven innocent."-George Orwell on Mahatma Gandhi It is important to point out from the beginning that even though this book is at first glance simply the diary of a bird watcher, it is also a novel with characters, setting, plot and suspense, and therefore any liberties Baker takes with chronology, weather and sightings, are perfectly in order. The Peregrine, first published in 1967, reads as the diary he kept during that period but may include observations made over the course of the many other winters which Baker spent following the movements of these birds. Of course, my virtual walk was conducted from the comfort of my fireside and only lasted ten days whereas Baker was outdoors in all weathers in pursuit of his prey, and his walk lasted from October to March when the Peregrines migrate to Scandinavia for the summer months. I spent some time in December on a virtual walk across a ten-by-twenty-mile area, trailing J A Baker as he in turn trailed a couple of peregrine hawks over the fenlands and the estuaries of east Anglia.
