'Shelter' by Jung Yun: EW review

After Kyungs parents survive an unspeakable attack, everyone, especially his wife, Gillian, thinks he should offer them unwavering support. But they dont know about Kyungs traumatic childhood, which he has, until now, avoided remembering by spending as little time with his folks as possible. Yun makes the tension inside Kyung visceral and unbearable as the complex knot of anger and pity he wrestles with hardens into a confused rage. With its major events occurring at the books beginning and end, the middle is left as a sort of extended character study, where Yun skillfully makes Kyungs unraveling feel fast-paced and urgent....

'Shelter': EW review

The movie, directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Paul Bettany, is made with sympathy and compassion. Its intentions are noble. Its gaze is harshly realistic. But its also overly melodramatic. Bettany has the makings of better director than screenwriter. As the film goes on, her circumstances begin to come into focus. Together, these two doomed, forgotten people form a bond (first platonic, then romantic). In the margins, there is strength in numbers. They are each others shelter....

'Sleeping Giants' by Sylvain Neuvel: EW review

Like Andy WeirsThe Martian, Neuvels debut is entertaining as a book, but its galaxy-sprawling scope feels better suited for the big screen (and yes, Sony already snatched up the film rights). Told through interview transcripts and journal entries, this first part of a planned trilogy follows a group of scientists as they dredge Earth for pieces of a 20-story humanoid robot. The team suspects an advanced alien race left the gadget here for us millennia agoas does the mysterious man with murky motives to whom they report....

'Smoke' by Dan Vyleta: EW review

Vice is made visual in Vyletas sprawling, ambitious novel, a Dickensian tale tinged with fantasy and set roughly a century ago. In his imaginary England, heated emotionsanger, excitement, or even lustcause plumes of sooty vapor to waft from the offending body. Though everyone Smokes, it doesnt preclude judgment: The upper classes send their children to boarding schools where they learn to control it; if they cant, there are costly man-made ways to hide it....
