11 22 63 part 4 ch 14 - 22

 Ch 14 pg 353

Jake (george) goes to a pawn shop and buys some bugs.  The kind you can put in a lamp with a connected recorder.  The best the early 60s had.  He then goes to the house he knows lee harvey Oswald is gonna rent in August next year and pays the lady living there to  call him when they're moving.  Hes gonna put the lamp bugs in the house before lee moves in.

Jake agrees to shaparone a dance with the new librarin.  They get a luttle hot and heavy after.  Then she runs out.  She calls him after and tells him to come over tomorrow at 5 with condoms.

Ch 15 pg 377

They do it.

Jake gets the bug lamps from the pawn shop and theyre great.

new librarian says she loves Jake and he says it back.

she's having a hard time trusting him with all these trios to dallas he can't talk about.

Ch 16 pg 400

Jake has got lee.harvwy oswalds future house all bugged up.  He's also got his sights set on renting the house across street.

I don't care about his relationship to the librarians or the school play 0r how the librarians gonna get a job in reno during the summer so after two months she can get a divorce without interacting with her astranged husband.  Or how she's sick of narrator's shit and is primed to dump him.  So I'm not gonna talk about that. 

Ch 17 pg 431

Jake goes to the airport to see lee harvey Oswald come home.  He does.  Fun thing, he also sees librarian leaving for reno.  He goes back to little town for dinner.   You know the librarian plot line I don't care about?  Well, they won't shut up about it, so the one thing I'll report about it here is that at the dinner, someone brings librarians high-school yearbook specifically so they can get a picture of her astranged husband and Jake is worried he's gonna come to town and cause trouble. 

Cool thing that also happens back in small town is there's a reporter covering the football team and he has a fancy new listening device. He goes back to the pawn shop and the guy there just heard about this.  So Jake is probably going to get one.

Ch 18 pg 459

Jake listens to Lee and family with the fancy new listening device. This works pretty well as he can listen to people when they come to the door.  Like when a boy comes selling magazines and lee gives him the communist manifesto. 

What doesn't work as well is the bug in the house that's hooked up to a tape recorder.  Mostly cause when they're home, the Oswalds speak Russian. 

Ch 19 pg 490

Jake moves into the apartment one floor below where the oswalds are going to move. The Cuban missle crisis is starting.  Jake is worried about Sadie and calls her.  She doesn't answer so he drives to her house and finds her passed out.  He tells her how the Cuban misses crisis goes and she's cool with it. 

Ch 20 pg 523

I had forgotten that there was some military guy that al thought Lee harvey Oswald tried to assassinate before Kennedy.  In this chapter we learn that Oswald did have an axe to grind against this guy as he tried to organize a protest against said military guys tv appearance. Jake didn't care enough to see if anyone showed up.  But he did watch the TV thing and while he didn't think he deserved to die, he could do with some shaking.

At the end it is revealed that lee harvey Oswald's wife is pregnant again.

Ch 21 pg 539

Jake tells librarian his name is Jake.  Jake loses the bug in Lee Harney oswalds apartment.  He's kinda flying blind heading toward Lee possibly trying to assassinate the military guy.  But he knows when and where so at least he can be there to see it.  He thinks it might go so badly that he has to go back to the future.

Ch 22 pg 559

Jake is preparing to go witness lee harvey Oswald try to kill the white supremacist former military guy and the fate stops him.  Sadie's ex husband shows up at Sadie's house and makes her call Jake and Jake drives three hours to save her.  He calls Deke (the former principal) to help and he saves Sadie with a casserole dish of chop seui. Jake doesn't wanna shoot Sadie's ex cause it'll bring too much scrutiny.  So he doesn't and the punchline is that he kills himself with a knife.  Here's hoping suicide brings less scrutiny. 

The blinding knife ch 1 through 39

 Ch 1 pg 1 Gavin

He's kinda drifting on a boat.  Sad about losing the color blue.  A sea demon swims under his boat.  For a second he's filled with a sense of awe and wonder.  Then he realizes said sea demon is headed toward the fleet that's fleeing from garrison. 

Ch 2 pg 3 Dazen 

He's going crazy in the green prison.  Blue makes you fully logical like a vulcan.  Green mkes you wild like a Klingon.  So the adjustment is hard.  But hes logicing his way into hope of escape.

Karris knows Gavin is Dazen. She does calisthenics on the deck, ironfist joins her.  When theyre done, she tells hum the prism is going to leave again.  She wants him to make sure she goes with the prism.  Speak of the devil.  Gavin shows up and says shes pretty.  This part of the book (as are all the women's viewpoints) being written bt a 12 year old boy, she says something mean and walks away.

Ch 5 pg 14 gavin

Karris is going with Gavin to seer Island. That's where he wants to put all the Tyrean refugees. 

Ch 9 pg 31 kip

Kip talks to iron fist about how it's hard to make good chouces in the heat of battle.  Good choices come from trauning and experience.  Kip has neither of those things, so it's nit a huge surprise that he.wouldn't see killing the king as a strategic mistake.

Ch 10 pg 34 gunner

This is one of the guys on the pirate ship that Gavin sank.  He's floating in the ocean and being circled by sharks.

He kills a sharp and makes it to a row boat.  He's gonna get vengeance against Gavin.

Ch 15 pg 53 LIV!!!!!

Liv hangs out with the color prince.  He's more luxin than man now. He's working on revitalizing Tyrea. Also, he's not planning any specific military action.  He's gonna send his people out into the world to subtly inspire revolution. He is also putting out word that all magic users are welcome at his Cromeria. None of the pay to play bulkshit that encourages the corruption. He loses his shit a but when Liv calls one of his plans diabolical. I'm leaning in the direction that he is insane but does a relatively good job of hiding it.

Ch 16 pg 60

Kip has to fight other people training to become black guards. He does ok.

Ch 17 pg 68 (so close)

Kip likes the girl that's been assigned to be his partner.  He breaks a bully's arm.

Ch 19 pg 79

Kip goes to breakfast and eats with the outcasts.  Appearantly his partner was told to try out for the black guard yesterday. 

Ch 20 pg 83

Kip and his partner are on mirror adjustment duty.  Then they go to  class.

Ch 21 pg 88

Gavin wakes up after holding karris cause she couldnt stop crying.  He has internal monologue about his goals.  One of which is to tell karris everything.

Ch 22 pg 90

Kip goes to engineers class and there's maths and kip doesnt know maths.  They do a thing where they weigh 1 square foot boxes of luxin to show how much each weighs.  Then they are given a math problem the idea is you're supposed to do the math and then diagram how you would replace a weight with blue luxin.  Instead of doing that he makes a diagram where he has reassembled the broken parts of the weight with blue luxin.  He gets an A on tue assignment cause it would work, but now another teacher hates him.

Ch 23 pg 96

Ironfist talks to the white about how he r husband was an awesome poker player.  He never payed against gavins father cause he had soo much money the stakes of any bet was basically meaning less.  But then she says gavins dad wante to be the white.  The intimation is that the whites husband worked the system (That is supposed to be random) to make her the white.

Ch 24 pg 100

In this chapter they explain color magic more in a classroom setting. The teacher makes it clear she hates Kip and is real religious about color magic.  Anybody that tries to do anything different,  is sinning before God.

Ch 25 pg 104

Kip talks to his partner as they walk away from class.  Turns out she's colorblind.  Not sure how she's able to do color magic that way.  I'm sure they'll explain. The next thing is she tells him not to trust all the people offering to sponsor him.  He's Hella confused. He's the prisms son.  Why would he need a sponsor?  Because his grandfather disavowed him.  He's all alone here at the chromeria. 

Personal note, if i were him, id go back to tyrea and join the rebel army.

Ch 26 pg 106

The head of seerer Island and she tells him he's dying and he shouldn't be dieing yet.

Ch 27 pg 107

The physical training to be a black guard is hard.  Today Kip was the last in everything and he threw up.  Iron fist tells him he can quit if he wants. His grandfather has ordered iron fist to throw him out.  Ironfist is ignoring that direct order.  Kip is gonna stay.  It's gonna be torture, but he's gonna stay.

Also he's punished for swearing and has to run 5 laps and his partner has to run with him.  

Ch 28 pg 110

Kips partner gets a lecture about the difference between boys and girls.

Ch 29 pg 116

Kip's grandfather might just be the worst person in the kingdom.  He's decided to torture kip by beating him at cards and then kicks one of his "friends" out of the chromeria. 

Ch 30 pg 120

Gavin isn't making any friends on seer Island. He's forcing them to take in 50,000 refugees and this will completely destroy their way of life.  But they've gotta go somewhere. 

Ch 31 pg 122

Kip goes to the library and reads some books about cards.  It kinda helps in the he can see why he's losing now.  This time the punishment for losing is that he can't eat tomorrow and he can't go to the practicum, which is kinda a study hall for drafting.  So the kip torture is going well.

Ch 32 pg 126 Teia

Kip's partner has a chapter.  She's a slave so her life is worse and her master makes her do worse things than normal chromeria students.  In this particular case she has to steal something from a man.  She has a special secret color called paryl.   She uses it to see where metal objects people are holding are so she can steal them.  She steals a snuff box from a man.  But paryl is also good for murder I guess as she sees a man murder a woman with it.

Ch 33 pg 134 kip

The blue talks and kip tries to listen.  This man is his target after all.  After the talk, which was too quiet to hear most of, kip and his classmates tall about light bringer.

Ch 34 pg 139 Liv

Liv has a tutor.  Today he just takes her to a dress maker.  At the dress maker, Liv takes a bath and has an existential crisis. I think this guy is the guy that stabbed Gavin with the blinding knife 🔪 

Ch 35 pg 145 kip

He is spending every hour he possibly can to learn about the Blue and how he might take him down.  I wonder if he's still trying to beat his grandfather at cards.

Its black guard fight day.  Kip picks a fight with a boy that was likely getting kucked out of the black guard.  But not a real sanctioned fight.  A sudden headbutt to the nose kinda fight.  They both go to the medic.  So he doesnt have to fight today. 

Ch 36 pg 153 Teia

Teia wins her fight.  Ironfist shows up and tells them that things are about to get real hard.  The Black guard needs new recruits fast.  So training will be accelerated and some at the end of this year the top 14 join the Black guard.  Twice as many as usual. 

Ch 37 pg 156 gavin

The seer tells Gavin that the real Gavin has escaped the blue prison and intimates that it's not a coincidence that the escape happened and he lost the ability to lose blue.  I'm sure Greg will know what caused what.  Also if he has lost blue that means he's not really prism and that means there is no prism and that's Bad.   And as theyre talking about how bad, it starts to snow.  But it's not normal snow.  It's blue luxin.  

Ch 38 pg 166 liv

The rebels don't just have political differences with the chromeria and the rest of society that lets them call the shots.  They also have religious differences.  They dont believe in the one god Orlam.  They believe in the many gods.  Each color has its own god.  When you draft a color and you feel different, that is that color's god working its magic in you.  

liv's tutor is telling her all this and teaching her his idea of freedom and why its better than being in the chromeria and their (compared to.the society the rebels are trying build) conservative values.

ch 39 pg 168 ( nice) kip

Kip and his partner are getting extra secret training.

11 22 63 ch 9 through 13

 Ch 9 pg 223

Jake comes back to the present and he and Al talk about it.  The picture of Harry on the wall is gone.  Replaced by some guy Al says he doesn't know.  Jake needs sleep, so he gives Al a ride home and says he'll be back to get him and do the time travel at 7 pm.  

Jake's cat wakes him up at 4:45 and he does some googling.  He shells out some cash to get access to the online newspaper archives.  There's an article in the derry paper a out the murder.  He keeps googling and finds one of Harry's sisters. Turns out he died in Vietnam. Fun bit, one of her other brothers was a tech wiz.  Guessing it's cause he found Jake's cell phone.

Jake goes to pick up Al.  He's dead.  So Jake is on his own to try to save JFK.

Ch 10 pg 245

Jake does soooooo good the second time around.  He kills Harry's dad when he's visiting his parents graves and doesn't leave a trace.

He makes $3,000 betting on the world series. 

Ch 11 269 (nice)

Jake feels conflicted on killing Harry's dad.  So he decides he's also gonna do Al's thing to make himself feel better.  With a bit of luck, or maybe divine intervention,  he sees that the hunter that accidentally shot the girl plays cribbage. So instead of blocking the road and faking a heart attack to stop things from happening,  he pays the guy to teach him cribbage all day.

Thing i learned today, Methodists don't gamble.

Ch 12 pg 279

Jake goes to Florida, makes some money gambling and gets the hell out cause he's got a bad feeling.  He makes his way to New Orleans and when he makes a call back to Florida finds out his apartment had been burned down.  He feels real good about following that feeling.  He makes his way to Dallas and starts to monitor Lee Harvey Oswald's family. He won't be there for a couple more years.  He doesn't like Dallas and decides to move to a small town a ways out, but close enough he can easily get to dallas and spy on Oswald's family. 

We're left with a bit of a cliffhanger as he wins a bet in Dallas and Something bad is going to happen on the ride home. 

Ch 13 pg 317

Jake enjoys his small town life and little trips to Dallas.  He's a substitute teacher and he writes his murder novel and he directs the school play.  People like him.  Not sure why.  I don't.  

Big decision,  they want him to teach full time next year.  School is out in June.  Oswald doesn't make it back to America til June 13th.  So he takes the job.

Also, the librarian, who has been important in all this, has what we are lead to believe is a fatal disease and so a new librarian is coming in and she's a buxom beauty so Jake is gonna fall in love with her probably. 

The librarian dies, Jake and the new librarian plan her memorial together.  They don't fall in love.

They go to the first football game together and there is a bit of a flirty energy.  Seems like Stephen is creating a real will they won't they kinda thing.  During the halftime show Jake has a bit of a flashback to the yellow card man.

11 22 63 ch 1 - 8

 Preamble pg 1

Narrator teaches a GED class.  He is divorced and his ex thinks he's not in touch with his emotions. His life changed when he read a story written by a janitor about the time his dad killed most of his family.  Narrator cried when he read that story and he gave the janitor an a plus.

Ch 1 pg 9

To celebrate the janitor getting his GED narrator takes him to a diner called Al's.  Narrator is one of the few regular customers at Al's.  The guy that runs the place is named Al.  There's a time machine or something in his pantry and narrator is going through it. 

Ch 2 pg 29

Narrator goes back in time.  He has some real good rootbeer and gets to wander around town a bit.  

He comes back and Al explains things a bit.  First, when you go back you always go back to the same day and time.  Also, you're always gone for two minutes.  The reason his burgers are so cheap is he buys the meat in the past.  

I wonder where he got the old money to start with.

He has a big plan that he needs narrator's help with.  But the cancer is wearing him.out too much to explain.  He says he's gonna go home,  pop an oxygen and rest and Narrator should come over at 9:30 to talk it over. 

Narrator doesnt really love this idea.  He doesnt wanna waste years of his life in the past

Ch 3 pg 53

Al wants Narrator wants to go back in time and save JFK.  He thought he could do it himself, but then before he got the chance, he was diagnosed with cancer.  At one point he saw Lee Harvey Oswald on the street and could have killed him, but didn't.  His plan now is to try to catch Lee at what is thought to be a previous assassination attempt.   But he can't make it there again. He might only have months to live.  But narrator could try and he'd be back in two minutes. And if Al's impending death wasn't enough of a ticking clock, LL Bean has bought the land the restaurant is on and is kicking Al out so they can build a store there.

Al knows he can change the past cause he went back and stopped a girl from getting shot in a hunting accident and ended up in A wheelchairas a result.  Two things, 1 it was super hard.  Something was trying to stop him from changing the past.  2 narrator's last trip undid said saving.  Every trip back rewrites history.

Ch 4 pg 79

Narrator has a great idea.  He's gonna go back and save the janitor. He tells Al if thus works, then he'll try to save JFK.  Narrator is thinking this is a necessary task before trying to save JFK.  If Al had so much trouble stopping the girl from getting in that wheelchair,  how much harder will it be to stop 3 people from getting murdered?

Al is good with this.  They go down to the diner and Al says he'll start a pot of coffee.  It will be ready by the time narrator comes back.

Ch 5

Narrator has a fun first day in the past.  He's really saz2 all the things that were slightly different than his first visit.  he gets a haircut,  buys a suitcase,  opens a checking account,  gets a cab to the motor inn and throws all the future stuff he accidentally brought with him into a nearby pond.

Ch 6 pg 119

Narrator buys a red convertible and drives to Harry's home town of Darry.  When he gets there he hates it.  Everyone seems to be real standoffs.  Turns out that's on account of the child murders.  The bartender at the bar near Narrator's hotel gives him all the info.  So Narrator is going to do his best to avoid kids and not catch a beating for his trouble.   He has been asking around about Harry's dad.  He says he's and old army buddy name of Dunning.  Harry is informed the town is full of dunning.  Look in a phone book.

Narrator is a bit defeated by this.  How cane find Harry if can't talk to kids and his dead could be one of a long list of dunnings.  

Fate steps in.  Early in his dating career with his ex wife they went swing dancing.  Did competitions.  They mostly danced to in the mood by glen miller.  He hears this song and finds a couple of his tweens dancing to it.  They chat with narrator. They know one of Harry's siblings and give narrator the lowdown. 

Ch 7 pg 149

Narrator is casing Harry's dad to try and come up with a plan to stop him on Halloween night.  This ends with him following him to a grave yard and putting flowers on two graves.

Ch 8 ph 177

Narrator does it.  He saves the janitor. Excited to see what the janitor's life is like now.

Black prism ch 65 - 95

 Ch 65 pg 425

They're making battle plans. Plans that involve building giant walls out of Luxin.  Kip sneaks away.  I'm assuming to try and rescue Karris.

Ch 66 pg 429 kip

Liv catches kip trying to sneak out of town and shes gonna go with him.  Theres a kindly fan of the king recruiting people to the army and he tells them where to go.

Ch 67 pg 436 karris

Karris is having her period and its been 5 months since her last so the pain of the experience is making up for lost time.

She puts on a fancy dress and reminices about her youth.  Big reveal here is that Dazen took her virginity.

Also after Dazen rebelled and she was engaged to Gavin, he took advantage of her one night when she got drunk at a party.

She is taken to the king and his right hand man js her long lost brother Koios.

Ch 68 pg 449 gavin

Gavin is trying to build his wall.  He's got five days til the army gets here.  He got some of the foundation built today.  He is not optimistic about his ability to get the wall built.  In a surprise turn of events a bunch of super powerful drafters have shown up to help.  These are a lot of people that fought on both sides of the war and knew Gavin and Dazen super well.  Gavin is real worried that somebody here is gonna figure out that Gavin is really Dazen.

Ch 69 (nice) pg 456 

Iron fist is gonna go get kip and Liv. Gavin is building the wall.  He's gonna be fine.  He's got Aheyyad on his side.  He's the best.

Ch 70 pg 463 kip

It took them two days to get to the army.  Liz goes to check out the center of camp.  Kip goes to get food and he mistakenly shows the people with food he's got a lot of money.  They try to rob him.  At first it doesnt go well.  He stabs a guy with a liquor bottle and throws him into the fire.  Then a bunch of other guys show up and beat kip up real good.  They are gonna throw him into the fire.  So he uses hus superpowers to kill him.  This attracts the attention of an army drafter and he says the greatest thing.  "You can kill whoever you want , but we prefer you not be so indiscriminate.". Then like an idiot he gives the guy his real name.  I predict that will come back to bite him.

Ch 71 pg 476 Liv

Liv finds Karris.  She hears about a fat boy killing a bunch of people with Fire.  She knows kip is somehow involved, but it.couldn't have been him cause he can only do green and blue.

Ch 72 Gavin

The wall is pretty much done.  But the army is here so the pretty much part is a big problem.  Gavin still has to build the gate.  Real dramatically, as he's almost done a cannon ball goes right through and destroys the gate.

Ch 73 pg 492 

Fight happen and it go bad for gavins side.  But as theyre being overwhelmed via the big hole where the gate should be, gavin digs deep and shoots magic that not only kills everyone in the gate hole, but also burns their bodies to nothingness.  The only man left is the king.  He appears to be invincible as tons of people are shoots guns at him but nobody hits.  Gavin does the next right thing and passes out.

Ch 75 pg 508

Gavin wakes up and his mom is there.  She's gonna do her freeing.  She sends for the general. The general tells Gavin they should flee.  Gavin says he wants to kill the king.

Ch  76 pg 515

Kip is tied up and ends up in the same wagon as karris.

Gavin kills the former governor for trying to flee when orders where no ship leaves the harbor in case they need all ships to evacuate the city .

Ch 78 pg 523

Apprearantly the freeing Is basically you show up and the prism stabs you to death and I guess the theory is you go to heaven.

This chapter flips back and forth between Gavin doing this and the king (or karris's brother.  I was a bit confused as to who was talking.) Giving a speech about how the freeing is a lie.

Also the last guy Gavin puts down has figured out that he's really Dazen.

Ch 79 pg 533

Gavin kills his mom after she drafts one last time.  Theres fun stuff in here abput the.people they killed to keep his secret.

he leaves the room and theres a ton of drafters outside and theyre all "we need.to talk."

Ch 80 pg 540

Kip and karris have these light blocking goggles glued to their faces so they can't see, but they can hear Karris's brother giving his speech.  Then theyre moved and they can hear the king giving his speech.  Then there's cannon fire from the city.  Karris seemed to know this was coming and she blames ironfist.  In the ensuing chaos, kip knocks out one of his goggle lenses and ends up with a musket and now hes part of a group of soldiers storming the city.

Ch 81 pg 545

All the drafters want to help Gavin fight rather than contuing the freeing.  Ther2s a beautiful lady that knows he's Dazen.

Ch 82 pg 549

Kip is in the shit.  All around him people are fighting and dying.  He takes advantage of the chaos and first heads toward the king to kill him.  But then he sees Karris and decides to go help her.  He's tempted by the box with the white luxin dagger and trying to kill Karris's brother. But in the end helping Karrris is the best choice.

Ch 83 pg 554

The boy did it.  He killed a ton of dudes and made it to Karris and melted the black goggles and now the two of them can draft.  They're gonna kill the king together.  I really hope it turns out she's his mom.  What a wonderful mother and son bonding experience killing a king is.

Ch 84 pg 561

karris's sister lord omnicrome has liv tied up and is trying to convince her to join his side.  His main argument is two fold.  

The first is that the chromeria claim that drafters that break the halo go insane is false.  He calls it hatching from the egg.  You become a lot more powerful after you break the halo.  Some drafters can't handle that extra power and do go insane.  But killing anyone that breaks the halo is wrong.  This isn't easy to swallow as it's a pretty big cornerstone of society and if it is true it means everyone has been supporting murder for centuries. 

The second is that the Cromeria sucks.  This Liv immediately agrees with.  

At that moment she sees kip and karris charging up the hill trying to kill the king.  Liv tells lord omnicrome that she will join him if she saves kip and karris.

Ch 85 pg 569

Kip and karris are doing just fine.  Karris is good at staying under the radar and kip is the next prism so he's Killin left and right with his raw power.

Gavin is trying to organize the boats to get everyone out of the city.  Hes set up rules that should allow everyone to escape. But people arent following the rules and he killed the guy that he put in charge of the docks cause he wasletting his mates break the rules.

he sees karris's brother with his cool gun.  He theorizes that lord omnicrome is trying to get rhe king killed.

Ch 87 pg 580

The plan works, Kip kills the king.

Ch 89 Pg  592

Lord omnicrome and his army are gonna destroy everything in their path.  That includes Kip and Karris.  But then super heros come and save them so they can get out.  As they get to the docks karris realizes that Dazen is Gavin.

Ch 91 pg 602

People are trying to kill ironfist and kip saves him.  An assasin with the white luxin dagger is trying to kill Gavin and kip saves him too.  Also, kip ends up with the dagger.  Good chapter for kip.

Ch 92 pg 610 the real Gavin

Damn, the boy did it.  He blew a hole in the wall.  FREEDOM!!!!! I wonder if the dead man he keeps talking about is Karris's brother. 

Ch 93 pg 615

Gavin and kip have a great father son moment. Then he finds a note from his mom telling him that Gavin raped her and ruined her life and that kip should use the dagger to kill Gavin.

Ch 94 pg 619

Gavin escapes from the blue prison into a green prison.  At that moment he's sure there's seven prisons.  It took him 16 years to escape the first prison.  He is not optimistic about his odds of escaping the rest.

Ch 95 pg 621

Gavin and the general have a nice talk. Gavin realizes he can't draft blue.  He's dying.

Divinci's cat parts 1 and 2

 Ch 1 

Frederico is a child prisoner of the pope to ensure his family's support.  He doesn't have any friends.  He does get the perk of interacting with some of the greatest artists of the time like Michelangelo and Raphael.  He gets a little excited when he realizes Michelangelo is spying on Raphael. But gossip isn't worth anything if you don't have a friend to tell.  He finds a kitten and he's super psyched. The kitten goes into a wardrobe and disappears.  Moments later there's a cat and Frederico decides that this is kitten all grown up.  The cat heads to the wardrobe and Frederico is like, no no that's way too dangerous. 

Ch 2

Frederico gets a collar for his cat.  He writes a short letter to his mom.  He inspects the wardrobe.  It's got mirrors and a ball full of water.  Federico thinks it's all about reflecting light.  But why would you go to the trouble when you can light a candle.  As he's inspecting,  cat gets away and goes into the wardrobe. A man comes out of the cabinet holding the cat and says nice to meet you 

Ch 3 pg 21

The man says he's herb from new jersey and the cat is named Juno. Frederico shows herb around and one of the paintings he sees is og herb.  Herb gives Frederico some chocolate.  With peanuts in it.  He makes Frederico a deal.

Frederico is like, hell no, that outfit sucks.  He will get herb clothes he can meet Raphael in, but it's gonna cost him ALot of chocolate. 

Ch 6 pg 46

Frederico takes Juno to see Raphael. He says sorry about the drawings that were stolen.  Raphael isn't bothered by it.   He'll just draw more.  The General idea seems to be that paintings are valuable and sketches are not.  This is reinforced when Frederico goes to see Michelangelo painting the sistene chappel and as soon as he has no further use for his sketches he tears them up into bits.  Frederico wishes he had those sketches to trade for chocolate. 

Ch 7 pg 54

Herbert comes with clothes that are now worthy of Frederico's standards.  He has a beard and Grey hair.  It's been 12 years for him.  He leaves to go see Raphael.

Ch 8 pg 62

The guy with all the keys is supping with the pope.  Frederico volunteers to serve them dinner rather than the normal servers.  He way overserves them wine and they both end up passing out.  He takes the keys so he can show herbert the sistene chappel.
