In 2011 bestaat Amnesty International vijftig jaar. Ze kent wereldwijd bijna 3 miljoen leden, waarvan het overgrote deel in de westerse wereld. Om Amnesty te begrijpen, moet men haar ontwikkelingsgeschiedenis volgen, en daarmee ook die van de mensenrechten. Het verhaal achter Amnesty International gaat over de opkomst en groei van de tot nog toe grootste en invloedrijkste particuliere mensenrechtenorganisatie ter wereld, maar ook over de voor- en tegenslagen die zij heeft gekend. Veel had te maken met de omstandigheden van de tijd, maar heel ook met de afkomst en karakters van hen die bij Amnesty aan het roer stonden. Voormalige leiders zoals Peter Benenson (Engels, oprichter), Sean McBride (Iers vrijheidsstrijder), Mümtaz Soysal (voormalig regeringsleider Turkije), José Zalaquett (Chileen, hoogleraar mensenrechten), Thomas Hammarberg (Zweed, nu Commissaris voor de Mensenrechten van de Europese Raad), Irene Khan (Bangladesh, Secretaris-Generaal van Amnesty International 2001-2010) vertellen over de sterktes én zwaktes van de organisatie: het feit dat ze steeds minder grip heeft op Azië en het Midden-Oosten, de ‘concurrentie’ van nieuwe mensenrechtenorganisaties, en dat ze door critici wordt weggezet als white, wealthy and worried. Daarnaast komen ook Menno Kamminga (oud-Amnestymedewerker in Londen en New York, nu hoogleraar mensenrechten aan de Universiteit van Maastricht) en oud-minister voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking Jan Pronk aan het woord over hun ervaringen met Amnesty.

Bert Breij (1943) is socioloog, ondernemer en publicist. Tom van Oosterhout (1953) is een pur sang onderzoeker. Beiden zijn hun hele leven al gefascineerd door mensen die voor hun idealen op de barricaden staan. In 2008 schreven Breij en Van Oosterhout samen Twee miljoen leden, over 200 jaar vakbeweging in Nederland.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
