Üç Ölüm (Karton Kapak)-Lev Nikolayeviç Tolstoy ücretsiz kitap indir

Michael Paul jmhp — What Mary Roach does best in her writing is to interview interesting people and ask, straight out, the questions that the rest of us would never actually work up the nerve to ask in half-muttered euphemisms. How does one poop in space? How often do fights occur on the international space station? Is it *really* all peace and love up there, or do you get really annoyed with having to deal with the same six other people every day? What about sex in space? Mary is unflinching and unflappable, and while "Packing for Mars" isn't quite the pinnacle of achievement that I thought "Stiff" was, it's still a fabulous read.

Carlos Jair signare — Linh Cinder makes a living in New Beijing as a mechanic. More accurately, she makes money for her stepmother, a cruel and selfish woman who hates Cinder for being a cyborg. Cinder may not know how she came to be this way, part mechanical and only part human, but she knows there’s nothing she can do to change who she is. She’s mostly resigned herself to a life of being treated as a second class citizen when Prince Kai approaches her market stall and asks her to fix his android. What Cinder doesn’t know is that there’s more to Prince Kai and his android than meet the eye, and that by accepting this job, she’s going to become entangled in a high stakes game of disease, deceit, and diplomacy. In a world ravaged by a deadly plague and threatened by a malicious race of lunar people, who would ever think that one cyborg could be so important to the fate of the Earth? Cinder certainly didn’t, but now she’s about to find out. Cinder was one of my favorite books read last year, and it will likely continue to be a favorite in the years to come. This is a book that I’ve been raving about for approximately half a year before its publication because I just couldn’t wait for others to see what I was so excited about. It boils down to this: Cinder is one spectacularly written, incredibly imaginative and romantic, futuristic fairytale retelling. Ordinarily, Cinderella as a cyborg is a concept that sounds a little odd to me, but debut author Meyer makes it work wonderfully. Her worldbuilding feels so effortless and integrated that everything from androids to an evolved race of people living on the moon to an unusually deadly plague feels completely natural within the story. This is a novel that readers will find easy to become invested in, because of the vivid characters, the futuristic setting, and the irresistibility of such a good story. I am so thrilled that Cinder marks the first installment in a new quartet, The Lunar Chronicles, and I desperately hope that Cinder makes a reappearance in later books because as much as I’d love to see where Meyer will take us next, I really don’t want Cinder’s story to be over. Cinder will be enjoyed by all readers, especially those who also liked the A Great and Terrible Beauty trilogy by Libba Bray, the Poison Study trilogy by Maria V. Snyder, and The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. reposted from http://thebookmuncher.blogspot.com

Steven Carrillo stevencarrillo — To begin with I found this book, whilst very informative and interesting, to be slow. It has been a while since I've not wanted to pick up a book and read it, yet that was what happened with 'The Book Thief'. . . until around page 355 that is (which is a shame in itself really, over half of the book I had no desire to read yet carried on plowing through it). I liked that the book was narrated by Death as it is something that I've not encountered before and I found it be rather enlightening, and I enjoyed when the little breaks in narration would happen and you would experienced some Death insights. Even after having read this book, I can't decide if I liked the overall plot or not. Yes, it was different to see the other side of Nazi Germany but the characters (especially Rosa and Hans) didn't have enough depth to them. In fact Rudy was probably my favourite character in the entire book and I enjoyed his antics (teared up a little both when he gave the teddy bear to the dying British pilot and when he himself died, if I'm being honest). I'm not sure if I would read this book again but I would happily recommend it for somebody else to read.
