National Geographic Kids: Futbol Hakkında Her Şey - Omar Gonzalez ücretsiz kitap indir

Verónica Vázquez _eronica_ — If you are going to read (or re-read) this book, might I recommend April as the perfect month to read it in? I didn't even think about the appropriateness of the season when I started it, but it was so fitting to read about the bare, empty branches and the cold, rainy weather giving way to tiny, green shoots and new life and brilliantly colored flowers. It made me enjoy our own spring that much more. I was so impressed this time around with the transformation of Mary's character. Frances Hodgson Burnett made it so believable. Even though Mary grows kinder and less selfish and happier, she never loses her personality. She still has that stubborn streak and can get fired up in a second. Mary's change is so gradual and subtle, and in the end you really do like her, but she is still Mary. Speaking of Mary, the ending was a bit disappointing for me. The whole book is about her, but she takes a back seat in the last chapter, and Colin gets the final word, which didn't seem quite fair.

James Crazy toplinkbro95bb — A poor man's Neverwhere. I'll admit that I stopped reading after 115 pages. I read several glowing reviews of this, saying it was going to rescue us in this, the time of no-more-harry-potter. And lookee! It has female protagonists! But no. A typical adventure/sci-fi premise: someone from our world gets transported to a different world and must save something/do a quest. a) It is, at least in the first 115 pages, entirely plot-driven. I know nothing about what separates the two main characters from one another--they're both young girls from London, and other than physical differences, they talk alike and seem to think alike. The other characters are defined for you; they do not have characters and backstory, they just are. Sometimes their "properties" and abilities are defined, but that's about it. The 115 pages I read were propelled entirely by one plot point after another. One of the great things about The Golden Compass series is that the characters are so rich and familiar--there is love and compassion and yearning--those are what drives the narrative. b) Sadly, I think this book suffers from "sci-fi syndrome". Given that I have no personalities to sink my teeth into, I need to be able to grab onto some part of this world. In many sci-fi books--and this is no exception--the author is so busy cleverly creating new creatures, new worlds, and new vocabularies, that they don't notice they've given readers a whole lot of homework. When a paragraph contains 5-6 made up words describing scenery, characters, or the quest, the reader (me) gets bogged down. I felt like I was slogging through a foreign language. Neil Gaimen's Neverwhere treads similar territory--London, but not--and does it in a much more character-driven, riveting, terrifying way. If you're looking for an un-London experience, go read that instead.

Nadeer Alabdulwahab nadeer — it was a really original idea and i loved that it was about sleepy hollow, however i think it was poorly written. the conversations between the characters was really annoying and pretty stupid. they didn't really have any depth and i felt like the characters never really said anything important to each other at all. also there were weird scenes that didn't even need to be in there and had no point to the story whatsoever. this could be a really cool story had it been told better in my opinion.
