I am absolutely loving this series of books. It should be said though that Milton is definitely his own character and there are more differences to be drawn than similarities between Reacher and Milton. Specifically in his attendance at AA meetings. I have to give Mark full marks for the plot here. It just flows beautifully and I enjoyed how he managed to incorporate characters from the previous book. Apart from Neagley and the like, Reacher often leaves characters behind and we never see them again. Here in the Milton series perhaps things might be a little different. The story here is very strong. Numerous plot twists completely took me by surprise and I was once again in awe at how Milton uses his skills to get out of situations that you and I would completely go to pieces in. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars however is because of what I said at the start of the review. This book had a more relaxed feel to proceedings, while the plot flowed nicely there were still elements that were tied up a little too neatly. That said it was still a truly fantastic read and a great addition to what is shaping up to be one hell of a series. If you are yet to check the series out for yourself, I highly recommend that you do. This, the third, in the John Milton series is the best yet. Milton is now in San Francisco holding down two jobs: independent taxi driver and ice deliverer. He likes to read. They arrive at a fancy house in a wealthy neighborhood. She disappears. Milton has to walk a fine line in any interactions with the police but he feels a sense of duty -- more on that later -- and teams up with her boyfriend to try and find Madison, the hooker. Well-developed story. Aug 30, Barry rated it really liked it. The Driver was another good solid book in the John Milton series. Milton was a British spy and assassin and decided to quit. His employers though his retirement should be from the human race so he is on the run and doing good deeds to people in trouble wherever he seems to be. He is currently driving a hack insider lingo for taxi in San Francisco and he picks a girl who asks to be driven to house out in the boondocks insider lingo for boondocks for a party. He decides to stay to make sure tha The Driver was another good solid book in the John Milton series. He decides to stay to make sure that she is okay, being the good hearted Brit that he is no, that is not an oxymoron. Later he hears a scream, runs into the house and all hell breaks loose. Like the other two books by Dawson that I have read, I enjoyed the ride. The plot is clever but nearly believable, the pace is good and the characters are interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone enjoying super tough guy agent types doing good stuff. If you are tempted to read it, you might consider starting with the first book in the series although that is not critical. May 09, Tom rated it it was amazing. Just read it! Political hacks! You'll love it! The John Milton series is the modern adventure series you should be filling your Kindle with. View 1 comment. Jan 06, Alan Taylor rated it really liked it. Another excellent episode in what is becoming a must-read series for me, 'The Driver', while not just as strong as the first two books, is a fast-moving thriller and excellent entertainment. Following on 3 months after the events in Mexico, John Milton is lying low in San Francisco, working two jobs, as a taxi driver and delivery man, while trying to find time to attend AA meetings. It is in the order job that he takes a young woman, who turns out to be a call-girl, to a party from which she flee Another excellent episode in what is becoming a must-read series for me, 'The Driver', while not just as strong as the first two books, is a fast-moving thriller and excellent entertainment. It is in the order job that he takes a young woman, who turns out to be a call-girl, to a party from which she flees and disappears. Milton, still atoning for his past 'sins', feels responsible and begins to investigate. The investigation takes on increased urgency when the bodies of other call- girls are found. The more leisurely pace of the plot means that Milton has time to develop some semblance of a personal life with a woman he meets at AA. Beau Baxter from 'Saint Death' also makes an appearance which serves to broaden Milton's world too. I am really taken by the whole 'James Bond, Licence Revoked' nature of these book and, while tighter editing may have been needed in places at times there were references to two 'He's' with some confusion to whom the 'he' referred , I am really looking forward to 'Ghosts' and the introduction of Beatrix Rose. Jan 21, Marley rated it it was amazing. Zipping right through these marvelous books. He's attending AA meetings trying to make amends for his Group days, getting a bit of peace in his life. Even has a bit of romance. That is, until he takes a fare from Madison, a young high-end prostitute, who's got a party to attend. Again mayhem ensues when Madison disappears mysteriously an Zipping right through these marvelous books. Again mayhem ensues when Madison disappears mysteriously and John feels a responsibilithy to find her--even more urgently when bodies of other high-end hookers show up. He and her boyfrirend, whom he befriends, are also suspects, so he's got an even better reason to get to the truth. The Driver is a a whodonit, not espionate or thriller in the sense of spies. John only takes out a few degenerates along the way, but he sure does even the score. Dare I suggest that the governor of California is based in part on Bill Clinton, but there's also Trumpiness about him and Arlen Crawford a bit of Karl Rove, but well,more vicious. Aug 21, Neil rated it really liked it. The Driver is another excellent addition to the John Milton series. By day he is delivering ice and by night he is a taxi driver. One evening he has to take his fare, a young woman, to a party in an exclusive neighbourhood. Due to the weather, and the location, he offers to wait for her and drive her back into the city. She then disappears, but the police don't seem to be taking her disappearance seriously, and Milton dec The Driver is another excellent addition to the John Milton series. She then disappears, but the police don't seem to be taking her disappearance seriously, and Milton decides to step in and help out. Once again the characters are well thought out, as is the plot, although some of the writing is not quite up to par with the previous books in the series. There is something about this series which hooks me in as a reader, yet I can't actually put my finger on what it is. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next installment. Better than Saint Death. I enjoyed this story a little more and thought the reasons for getting involved and the story were more engaging. However, I have now got to a point where I don't fear for Milton at all. He is so aggressive and mouthy to most people and is almost invincible. Hopefully the series fleshes him out and brings in some legit danger going forward. A good, fast paced read. Jun 24, Maggie rated it liked it. This is third book in series. Really do not understand the great reviews for this to be frank. John Milton is an ex hitman who would kill someone as soon as look at them and then go for a meal and sleep like a baby without a care in the world. However John does the absolute opposite. He is working as a taxi driver living pay check to pay check. While working he picks up a girl in his taxi. While chatting John discovers she is a prostitute. John agrees to take her to her next job and decides to wait for her as its an isolated neighbourhood.

  • The Image of Police Officer As Emerging from Road Movies and Road Lingo
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 51/2008 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 5 Grzegorz A. KLEPARSKI, Magorzata MARTYNUSKA THE IMAGE OF POLICE OFFICER AS EMERGING FROM ROAD MOVIES AND ROAD LINGO Road movies: The roots of the genre American society holds many things to be dear – indeed one might say that, becoming to such a heterogenous notion these notions are equally varied. However, one might define a number of values which are commonly held to be of great importance to America as a whole, such as mobility, independence, fairness, individualism, freedom, determination and courage. These values are best encapsulated in the film genre known as ‘road movies’, through which Hollywood has sought to celebrate the very nature of Americanness. The purpose set to the pages that follow is to outline the concept of freedom as the guiding force of the characters in the road movies and – in particular – the role and the concept of POLICE OFFICER who either turns out to be a constraint on freedom or – on rare occasions – its facilitator. The second part of the paper concerns the trucker language, and – more specifically – the picture of the POLICE OFFICER in the language of CB radio. In particular, we shall analyse the linguistic mechanisms involved in shaping the concept discussed; that is the working of the devices of zoosemy and metonymy. From the very outset, it can be observed that right from the very origins of settlement in the New World, the first Americans were always connected – in some way – with the road and the concept of travelling.1 The early settlers were pioneers wandering westwards; crossing wide stretches of land, constantly on the move in search of a place to live.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.
