Hero With a Thousand

A Thousand Pieces of You starts off quickly: the hero's (Marguerite) scientist parents are murdered by one of their assistants, Paul, who escapes with their dimensional traveling device called the Firebird. With the help of Theo, another assistant, who has two prototype versions of the FIrebird they decide to dimension travel and track down Paul and bring him to justice. The book quickly evolves into a chase story with some YA romance thrown in.

Tired of the hero's journey? Frustrated that funny, romantic, and comforting stories aren't taken seriously? Sad that the books and movies you love never seem to be critically acclaimed, even when they sell like crazy?

Stories have been told throughout history since the time of cavemen. Over the centuries, this has evolved into modern cinema, television and even video games but some of the most well-known fables and fairy tales have endured and are still told today. Myths & Monsters is an interesting, 6 part documentary that chronicles the origin to some of the best-known stories in Western culture in an interesting and engaging way. Although a lack of Eastern-influenced fables is a little disappointing, this documentary does a good job of piquing interest in the various stories depicted whilst never diving deeply enough to make it an exhausting watch.
