Saklı Seçilmişler : Siz Onları Değil; Onlar Sizi Seçti - Soner Yalçın ücretsiz kitap indir

Meagan Hyland _eg_yland — I thought this was going to be light fluff, but it had some surprises in it that made it on the heavy side. I liked it, even if it wasn't what I was expecting.

Katerina Brodaric brod00559b68 — We hear so much about war but not about WWI; this is a wonderful, poignant individual story of a pilot and his war experiences; this one should not be missed!

Ievgenii Lihovidov _evgenii_ihovidov — Review Posted on Reading Lark 10/27/11: http://readinglark.blogspot.com/2011/... Since I loved Bitten, the first book in Kelley Armstrong's adult series, Women of the Otherworld, I wanted to see if I would also enjoy her YA works. I decided to start with the Darkness Rising series because I was really intrigued by it. I went into this read knowing that it would have a Native American character and be supernatural in some way, but other than that it was a cold read for me. I had no expectations about plot, but I had a hunch that there would be strong female characters and engaging writing based on my previous experience with Armstrong's work. The Gathering once again proves that Armstrong is one of the best paranormal writers out there right now. There is something so compelling about her writing style; I can't seem to get enough of it. I don't want to discuss plot in this review at all. The reason behind this choice is simple - this read was so much better for me since I had no idea of what to expect. Readers will enjoy trying to unravel the supernatural and mystical elements of this read for themselves. To give away too much about the plot would ruin the fun and suspense. I also love that even the summary on the book jacket leaves most of the plot a mystery. Just trust me when I saw this one is worth the read. While I enjoyed this read, the beginning was extremely slow for me. Armstrong spends a lot of time building up the uniqueness of her setting, which lends a strong sense of place to this story. I love that it is set on Vancouver Island in the small medical research town of Salmon Creek. Salmon Creek is an interesting place to grow up as it only has about 200 residents. I thought my hometown was small! I can't imagine having such a small pool of kids to choose from for friends and dating. In future books I hope that we get more information about the research behind Salmon Creek's creation. It seems that things are not all positive in the tiny town. Also, due to the isolated locale, the wilderness and its inhabitants play a major role throughout this book. I would love to visit the island and see the scenery for myself after this read. Another reason that the beginning dragged for me is it was basically just a way to introduce readers to the main character, Maya, and her life in Salmon Creek. All of the information is useful later on as you seek to piece together what's going on with Maya, but it felt tedious at the time. This is one of those books where I started to question Armstrong's motives, but by the end I began to appreciate her skills as a storyteller. She knows exactly what needs to be done to bring her characters to life. Patience will be rewarded. Finally, I am always on the lookout for reads with strong Native American characters to recommend to my students. I have mentioned before that a significant number of my students are Native Americans and they really enjoy seeing characters with similar backgrounds appear in the books they read. I particularly like the fact that this one focuses on a female. Maya is a great role model for my students. Armstrong does a nice job of mixing Native legends into her story about a contemporary girl. I am curious to do some research on my own to learn more about the Navajo and Hopi legends. One Last Gripe: I want to know more about what happened to Serena. I didn't like that I was left hanging on this issue. My Favorite Thing About This Book: The Native American lore First Sentence: Serena stood on the rock ledge twenty feet above the lake, singing in a voice known to bring tears to the eyes of everyone who heard it. Favorite Character: Maya Least Favorite Character: Sam

Liam Irwin liamirwin6d07e — easy to read, enjoyable

Priscilla Lim _ — memorizing so i can recite to myself on late night walks home.

Manoj Kumar manojkumaraf29 — i read this in the heyday of my chick-lit obsession; it's much smarter than i originally gave it credit for. which is not to say it's a tome of great importance, but it's a decent example of the genre that won't make you feel as though your brain is leaking out your ears.

Theresa Ayotte theresaayotte — A postmodern novel about the state of our culture. Intricate and laden with meaning.

Chanaz Damardji chanazdamadf81 — The Eighth Day, by John Case - 3 stars; good, enjoyable action book, but too much detail (e.g., too many Turkish names, and a 4 page description of trying to find the right password on the internet); overall though, a good book

Ram Keshav ramkeshav25 — what i turn to whenever i'm not sure what to read...

Tolman Bryant _16c53a — I picked this up on a whim from Target several months ago and it's been sitting here waiting to be read. I couldn't put it down. I read it in about 24 hours. It is an excellent book!

Kateryne Vetrenko _ateryne_ — My Favorite book of all time
