Leonardo Da Vinci - Evren Bilimi Ve Sanatı ücretsiz kitap indir

Lukasz Majcher majterrof826 — This novel starts off strong and uncompromising. It's the story of a young girl who gets kidnapped and sexually abused by her kidnapper. It's the story of her survival and struggle to live any kind of life after such abuse. I didn't like the ending and the way it sort of became one of those Oprah How-I-Survived books. I found all the God talk distracting and the ending a little wishy-washy, but it was a fast, enthralling read. Warning: there is some graphic descriptions of the main character being abused, but it's not unnecessary and works with the story and style.

Steven Clemens sclemens — 3.5 stars, creeping up to 4 stars This book has been sitting on my shelf since its release. I skipped to the end, saw when the second book of the series would release, and promptly reshelved because I knew I wouldn't remember the plot of this book sufficiently enough to read and enjoy the second book. This was both good and bad: good because I didn't have to wait long to read the second book, Never a Gentleman; and bad because I cannot believe I let such a good book just sit there without cracking the spine! Olivia has secrets, oh, does she have secrets. They start to cave in on her almost immediately, which makes for an excellent suspense plot as the reader attempts to sort out what may be truth and what may be fiction. One point utterly shocked the heck out of me. I'm not sure how I didn't see it coming, but Olivia is a skilled and convincing liar. Along the way, we're introduced to Grace Fairchild (heroine of Never a Gentleman), who grew up all over the world, thanks to her father's various military campaigns, Lady Kate Gilbey (heroine of Always a Temptress), a "fallen" duchess, Bea, Lady Kate's companion, and various members of Drake's Rakes. This trilogy should have been called "The Graces" rather than Drake's Rakes; Lady Kate even makes a joke that she, Olivia and Grace all have 'grace' in their names. I really was sorry to see Barely a Lady end. Olivia, for all her necessary deceptions, is a strong and capable heroine, as Grace realizes when they go in search of Grace's father on the battlefield. I also liked that the historical timeline took place during the Napoleonic wars. I cannot wait to read the remaining novels in this trilogy, and I also hope there will be more to come.

Favoud Favoud _emneh — The report assesses the current situation in Iraq (political, economic, civil infrastrucure, security) and then offers 79 recommendations, notably the need to engage with Syria and Iran, and the 'surge' tactic. Definately worth contrasting current efforts in Iraq with the report's recommendations (pubished in Dec 2006). Also interesting to note that 4 out of the 5 on the committee have a backround in Law.

Jir Fine jirfineartedcd — Gives a fascinating picture of one of my favorite eras in Japanese history! Shonagon is delightfully petty and human. Rare that we get such an authentic women's voice from the distant past.
