Lizbon Kuşatmasının Tarihi - Jose Saramago ücretsiz kitap indir

Nika Gargol nikagargol — Great, great book! That's all I'm going to say.

Nelia Vieira neliavieirafdb2 — Good story. Lost love, racism, forgiveness. Such possibilities. Unfortunately bogged down by endless narration. More than enough description of the lovely Northwestern US islands and its flora. Plus true-to-life courtroom scenes: boring, long, drawn out. Yawwwwwn.

Victor Sm victor_s_m0ae8 — This was my first experience with Ishiguro and now I'm hooked. Such a quiet little novel he has constructed. It isn't big and flashy, bandying about the big idea. Instead, that whole thing is a backdrop that never gets fully explained. It just lingers there behind everything, a dark cloud, something sinister that motivates the characters. It works wonderfully. We don't get wrapped up in science fiction or sidetracked by the details. Instead we get a touching portrait of a girl in horribly difficult situation. What works so well in this book though is that it all seems so normal, because to her, it is. It is written as though we know the big secret all along. As if we are a part of the society this society. So instead of being consumed by the big idea, we get get to know the characters. I cared about Kathy and Ruth and Tommy. I think this sets the novel apart from so many others. I cared more about the main characters than about the sinister dark cloud hanging out in the background.
