Movie: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

I love Joe Ide‘s novels featuring Isaiah Quintabe. Those of us who‘ve read them all have watched IQ grow up, increasingly accepting his role as the neighborhood fixer. Although never quite comfortable in that life, he faces deeper challenges than ever when Grace is kidnapped, twice, by lowlifes intent on revenge. Skip, maniacal fig breeder, is back as is Manzo, now deposed as the gang leader. Dodson is finding his niche, but IQ may lose his?

Even though he‘s out of the picture, IQ is still a strong part of the story, Ide puts focus on his partner Juanell. Lots of interconnected stories and character growth. The intrigue keeps up a frantic pace till the very end. Urban detective noir. 5 ⭐️

It took a while to get into this one because the ending of the last one was quite sad. It ended up being a really good installment in the series, and I hope the next one comes out soon (and that there is a next one for that matter). We moved into a new place recently and are still settling in, but I think the cat likes his new view!

Quest and Angela go to Kitty Hawk to save the presidents daughter.

The beginning of the book going from mystery to sci-fi.

Book two of the IQ series: Q and his sister Angela go to the White House in hopes of figuring out the ghost cell in the US.

So much more than a simple refutation of the Bell Curve. This book explores the history of the idea of measuring and judging man in a scientific way, and often that has gone wrong and led to tragedy. Written with Gould's typical eloquence and clarity it is a joy to read. Considering the current revival on the study of race in science by others less humane and thoughtful than Gould, this book is more relevant than ever.

“We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within.”

Good sequel, possibly even better than the first and it has a good set up to a third book.
