İbn Fadlan Seyahatnamesi - Ramazan Şeşen ücretsiz kitap indir

Hằng Rùa hangrua — Next in the series of Men of Honour - a great fun read. I loved Trace - he was a great character with a real caring side. Whilst Priss was ok although her attitude towards hair removal was a bit archaic. Linger though was a great character and would love to have him for real.

Sergey Golubitskiy sergey55550 — A great book about college hoops and Michigan. These guys capture the both the hearts and hatred of the nation. Who can ever forget that stupid "time out." The greatest college basketball team ever.

Ekaterina Danova katedanova — Wow...the Goodreads community is really hatin' on this one. I don't think it deserves quite such harsh treatment. However, I often have a fairly high tolerance for overly wordy writers. And I can stomach an unpleasant narrator from time to time. Any reader whose preference is an admirable story teller would get a belly full of Jake quick enough...he is a pig. In my estimation, although slow going at times, the book merits 3 stars. The plot is convoluted in that the action covers several historic eras (Shakespearean England, Nazi Germany and present day New York) and activity on 2 continents. In this way it mirrors one of my favorite recent works --The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova. (although I definitely prefer the latter title) It is an implausible yarn and, as others have pointed out, a flawed tale. I allowed myself to be taken along for the ride and actually had some fun along the way. It is a bit frustrating to think about how the intriguing subject matter could be handled in a steadier and more refined manner. However, the egomaniac Jake, gross and crude as he was, would not have intimidated William Shakespeare, a writer who could certainly play to all the various strata in his audience. Not a masterpiece, certainly...but readers who enjoy unreliable narrators may find this a bit better than advertised.
