Buz ve Ateşin Şarkısı 5 - Ejderhaların Dansı Kısım II - George R. R. Martin ücretsiz kitap indir

Juancarlos Refulio nustden — I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoy reading about alternate realities, and this one certainly is intriguing. Despite the government's insistence that they're trying to create a more peaceful world, clearly they have no problems with using extreme violence trying to maintain it. And obviously even with the threat of this violence the human spirit, and love has still overcome. Kind of. I enjoyed Lena's journey from being a scared girl who was counting down the days until her procedure, to the scared girl who was willing to give up everything for Alex and a chance to live a life with feelings. One of the most tragic things about this entire story was the idea that after the procedure (which is never described in detail, but I believe to be very similar to a lobotomy) the citizens lose the ability to love, and feel emotional pain. So any infected people will instantly "be okay" after they're cured. But it's still there. The hurt. It's just that they can't feel it. There's an empty emotion there they can't feel. A few times the author describes conversations others have with Lena where they're reassuring her things will be okay after she's cured, that they were like her once, but they're fine now. Happier. They're always staring off into space, looking everywhere but at her. The way people do when they talk about something sad, or when someone they loved died. It wasn't necessarily Lena's, or her mothers, or anyone else's story that really moved me. It was the way that these people all believed they were actually okay. Even with the "few incidents" of people who aren't okay. I did not care for the flowery way this story was told, though. I felt like the narrative was more appropriate for a movie setting. Often Lena would lapse into experiences from her past, or memories, or gratuitous descriptions of random things. I understand what the author was trying to do. She was trying to create depth and emotion. And I think she did a very good job of that. However, the pace at which the story moved was far too slow for me to appreciate these moments, and instead of feeling tangible emotion, I felt frustration. The ending was abrupt. Very, very abrupt. But I did like it. I understood why Alex did what he did. He loved Lena, and he wanted her to escape. In a way he believed she deserved to escape more than he did. Her mother was out there, she was so new to LIFE and he wanted her to be able to go on without him. It was a beautiful ending. Even if he did die.

Allen Tracey awtdesign — I love this book. It isn't his best as far as the writing is concerned, but it is very entertaning nonetheless. His naivety and earnestness when he's dropped off out in the middle of nowhere, it has a way of reassuring you that everything can be worked out. You see the character change from somebody who liked the outdoors, to someone who became a part of it.

Abdulmalik Alaudi alaude — 3.5 stars overall. This psychological suspense book was a true page turner. Now that I look back on it, some aspects of the story were repeated over & over and the plot as a whole wasn't all that great. But you have to keep reading on to see how it'll end.
