Heykeltıraş - Gregory Funaro ücretsiz kitap indir

Graham Taylor grahamtaylor90 — This book is a spin off from The Night Hunters series featuring Cat and Bones. This isn't the type of book I normally read preferring Urban Fantasy with strong female characters as opposed to Paranormal Romance but I really enjoyed this book. I would like to give it 3 and a half stars.

Mark Menig _enig1983 — I just finished this book the other day. Spending all day at the hospital (Ben's gallbladder surgery) sure helped me get through it faster. It was an engrossing read, but I was disturbed by some of the events that happened in this book. I found myself shocked, disgusted, bewildered, surprised, and angry at some of the things that went on within the characters lives. I did not really like some of the choices that the characters made. I think they could have behaved a little more compassionately towards each other. It was definitely a sad book.

Renato Santos _ind_ider20 — This review first appeared on my blog: http://www.knittingandsundries.com/20... Nolan Gray, one man of faith, a national war hero who spent two years in captivity under torture, friend and confidante of the President of the United States, fakes his death and re-emerges incognito as a person dubbed "The Hand" by the media. In a world ruled by crime bosses, he is determined to show people that there is a better way. His companions in this mission are Arjay Thale, a pacifist who is a brilliant engineer and inventor, and Aaron Bradford, Nolan's former commander. They are joined by Alice Regan, a woman Nolan rescues from her abusive police officer husband. There is a lot of action in this one. Nolan is a well-trained fighter, and Arjay outfits him with wonderful gadgets, including a sort of micro-weave body armor that is impervious to bullets. When the President pushes a crime bill through Congress that calls for a crackdown on organized crime, an elite team of agents called the OCI (Organized Crime Intelligence) is formed. When the first large-scale mission of this task force goes horribly wrong, some in the government attempt to shift the blame for it to "The Hand", and Nolan finds himself pursued by a crime boss seeking revenge. This was in interesting look at the universal concept of good vs. evil and the apathy that seems to creep up into the general populace when they feel that there is no hope. With lots of action, this is one that I think would translate well into movie format. There are some instances that particularly stretch the imagination, as well as a mystifying (to me, at least) sudden reversal near the end of the novel that I felt wasn't fully explained or dealt with. As with most thrillers/suspense novels, there isn't a ton of character depth (although I will give props to Parrish for giving us more than most of the genre writers in that area). This is a "Christian fiction" thriller that does a wonderful job of actually translating well to mainstream. There are mentions of faith, because Nolan is a believer, but they are not heavy-handed, and Nolan is not one to judge someone badly simply because they don't share his faith. All in all, this makes for an interesting, well-thought-out play on revenge, morality, and shows how far one man will go to make his own suffering count for something. QUOTES "He thinks himself righteous enough to influence the behavior of others. Probably believes he is on some kind of divine mission. He thinks the rest of this godforsaken city can be as 'good' as he is. Give him time. He will come to see things differently. 'Good' does not exist here. Not in this world. No merciful creator would cobble together a place so viciously cruel as this. No loving creator would sit by and do nothing while there is pain and suffering." The fight against crime was bigger than one mistake, and millions of Americans were counting on them to bring an end to the corruption, violence, and death. He had been elected on that very promise. Whoever this Hand guy was, even though he was operating outside of the law, he was doing real good in a part of the nation that needed all the good it could get. He didn't deserve to take the fall for the mistakes of the people in this room.
