550. Yılında Fetih Ve İstanbul - Bildiriler-Kolektif EPub e-kitap Bir kitabı indir

Chalif Rafi chalifrf — Bu 5 yıldızlı bir kitap olmaya çok yakındı! Çoğunlukla uzun süre temizdi ve sonra birkaç kabalık vardı. Beni çok fazla kapatmadılar. Hafiflerdi. Yazı stilinden hoşlandım ve karakter komik ve gerçekçiydi. Bir lazımlığın etrafında ortalanmış bir kitabı nasıl okuyamazsın?

Andrea Bagoje andread5a0 — The writing style of this book was fine, but the topic was so boring. Who needs another boring pro-Indian book? I'm sorry that I also have the second one to read. This author needs to research more than just the politically correct evrsion of Indian life. Maybe she should watch "Apocolypto" if she doesn't have the ability to read more than one side of things.

Kasha Sapustin kashasapustin — What a wonderful conclusion to a fabulous series! I've loved this trilogy from the word "Go" because it engaged so many parts of my brain and interests. The side of my that enjoys engineering and science was completely enthralled by the descriptions and pictures of the fabricated beasts and Clanker machines. I also love historical fiction, so the setting was perfect for me. So many elements came together in these books, and I enjoyed each one immensely. One of the main points in Goliath is the introduction of Nikola Tesla, an electrical and mechanical engineer who claims to possess the weapon that will end the war completely. Having had a nasty run-in with a Tesla Cannon in Behemoth, the crew of the Leviathan is none too pleased to take Tesla on board and transport him to New York City, where his weapon is housed. Dr. Barlow, the "lady boffin" who has been on board the Leviathan for their entire journey, isn't exactly trusting and sends Alek and Deryn to do some investigating. Alek seems quite taken with Tesla, believing that he can help Alek achieve his destiny. Especially since Tesla seems to have switched from the Clanker side to the Darwinist side, much as Alek himself seems to have done. I must say, when it came to the revelation of Deryn's great secret, Alek took it better than I thought he would. I don't want to say much more on the issue, except that throughout the series, Alek has held very strong opinions on the proper stations for men and women. A female in the British Air Service most definitely not fit into his views, and Deryn has been wary of this since she realized her feelings for him. It's definitely a test for Alek and turns his opinions upside down. There are reappearances of familiar faces, like Lillit and the disgusting reporter, Eddie Malone. There are also a few American women who come on the scene and give Deryn an idea of the kind of freedom and options she may have one day. I know I've mentioned it before in my posts about the previous books in the series, but I want to draw attention again to Keith Thompson's illustrations. Coming up with the visuals for all the machines mentioned, and bringing them to life in such amazing detail is such an awesome accomplishment. It brings to much life to the story and add a whole other dimension. They add a whole new level of enjoyment because there's no way I could have come up with those images on my own. I love the bits of pop culture from the early 1900s that are put in the novel. I was watching Beach Blanket Bingo the other day, which is a Frankie Avalon / Annette Funicello movie from the 60s (a HUGE weakness of mine) and there was a reference to The Perils of Pauline. I'm pleased to saw that I knew what they were talking about because of this book. :) I've loved this series and these characters so much! I'm sad the trilogy is over, but it was such a great ending and wrap up. The Leviathan trilogy is definitely going on my all time favorites list!

David Greenburg dpgcreative — I'm still not sure what I think about this book. On one hand, I like that it was the honest thoughts and feelings of an LDS single adult young woman living in New York. What is it REALLY like to be LDS outside of Utah? I think her struggles with her faith and sexuality are very real. I was actually touched by the dilema she found herself in: trying to be true to her religious believes while in love with an atheist. She wasn't ready or willing to chuck all that she believed, and neither was he, so they both knew that they could never be together and be truly happy. It's heartbreaking because she really connected with this man on a level that she hasn't with any other up to this point in her life. I did find, however, some of her language usage very unfortuante and uncomfortable. I was shocked to run up against the f-bomb several times in this book. Not cool, no matter how cool and hip you are trying to be. It does not make you a relevant writer to resort to this kind of language. I believe that a person can be true to their belifs no matter what circumstances or atmosphere they live in, but if it's a life that is not feeding your spirit, then maybe that isn't the best place to be. Ms. Baker questions herself whether or not New York was the best place for her to live. I think for some LDS people it's an amazing fit and their life is full and happy. It just doesn't seem to be working for her.

Tim Richards _eat_aker — Rating 1.5 stars It was a pain finishing The Rancher's Surrender, I had to force myself to keep reading since I don't like unfinished books. Ugghh...how I hated the heroine Zoe, she was horrible, selfish, pessimist, a jerk, constantly arguing and thinking the worst of people, hell she wasn't the only one who had gotten a bad deal in life. Zoe inherits a ranch along with her foster sisters Delia and Maddie, so they leave LA, to come to a ranch left them to a woman who may be the grandmother of any of the three. It's always been three against the world, poverty, hunger and more. They find the ranch is worse than they expected and then are greeted by Ty, the manager and neigbour, from the start Zoe acts like an ungrateful child, biting him and punching him and not being honest about her feelings to herself. Even with her sisters she keeps a part of herself away, fine she had issues with her parents abandoning her but so did her sisters and Ty, who had the worst gene pool and then saw his brother dying. He wanted the ranch but he still helped finance their search. Honestly, why Ty kept banging his head on Zoe I didn't get, she never thanked him for his help, loan or anything instead she always said the worst things to him. I have never read about such an immature heroine, I wonder how she could be 26, she was such a unhappy person. I will still try and read Cade and Delia's book.
