Moby Dick (Stage 2) - Herman Melville ücretsiz kitap indir

Manoj Borah manoj_ — Fantastic stuff. I've started reading or-rereading Wyndham's novels this year (I recently read The Midwich Cuckoos ) and I'm struck by how low-key they seem. Not for Wyndham the heat-ray or giant mechanical monsters of H.G. Wells's prototypic alien invasion, instead there's more of the mystery and foreboding with the realisation that there is a threat to be dealt with only coming when it's far to late to do anything about it even if anything had been possible before. The fact that we never know what the 'bathies' look like or their motivations or really anything about them is ever known makes them all the more effective antagonists: creepy and unpredictable, unlike the more conventional human enemy of the Soviet Union, to whom at first their activities are linked. And again, these activities don't start on a flash-bang Hollywood movie set-piece scale - there are just some odd things happening at sea. Meanwhile, the characters are also fantastic. Michael and Phyllis Watson both know which of them is in charge, and the strong character of the wife makes it all the more effective when she begins to break down and lose hope. Great book. I think The Day of the Triffids is next for me!

Leilani Santana sntbarron — I think I'm ready to write about this now. I loved this book. I loved the story. I loved Louie. I have an obsession with WWII, usually specifically European, stories and biographies. I have not often ventured into the Japanese/Pacific side of the story, so this was a huge eye-opener for me. I was afraid the book would get a bit...dense, or heavy, especially dealing with all of the plane/bomber descriptions, but I was riveted throughout. It's yet another story that is going to stay with me, and it will inspire me to learn more about what the Japanese POW's had to endure. A must-read.

Mohamed Beddouj _edd_uj — Very nice book - the setting is known (it's Middle-Earth). For fans of Tolkien and not only.
