Sen Hayatıma Dokununca - Timur Tiryaki ücretsiz kitap indir

赵 赵颖 _ingzil — I am perplexed by this book. I started to read it a few years ago, but for whatever reason, about halfway through, I laid it down and didn't look at it again until last month. I started over and read the whole thing. It's a wonderfully told story. Gregory is amazing with detail, especially with all things nature (I felt like I was on Wideacre myself). There is no doubt that Gregory is a great author (I have read all of her Tudor books and reread a lot of them on a regular basis). Obviously I could put it down, since I tried to read it a few years ago, but once I committed, it moved along quickly enough. __________________SPOILER ALERT____________________________ I guess my only problem with it is that I didn't really like any of the characters. Beatrice, obviously, is cruel, selfish, desperate and a blatant psychopath. Beatrice's father, who she was supposed to love more than anyone in the world, is the closest to a likeable character in the entire book, and he doesn't make it much further than the first several chapters. Harry is a moron - ignorant, twisted and bafflingly stupid. Celia, although kind, is his perfect mate on the surface because she is just as stupid and gullible as he is (and why is that? she was abused - why does she trust so much!?), John is smart and wants to trust Beatrice, but his demons break him eventually. Beatrice's mother is cold and distant and lives in her own world of denial. The reason I don't like any of the characters is that they are not believable. They are developed, to be sure, and consistent, but honestly - really? I am really supposed to believe that an educated MAN, like Harry, of that time period (when they were supposedly the superior gender) would fall prey to such horrendous schemes over and over and over again? I am really supposed to believe that John, a man of enormous fortune, upon realizing that his beloved wife had another man's child, her BROTHER'S child, and tried to pass it off as his own, wouldn't stop drinking long enough to pack his stuff and leave as soon as possible? Men had the power back then...he could have left. This story's saving grace (and the reason I gave it three stars) is the way Gregory pulls the rope tighter and tighter, slowly, methodically, throughout the entire book, around Beatrice's neck. I love the way Beatrice's passion for the land, her one track mind - always focused on keeping that land, eventually destroyed what she was fighting so hard for in the first place. She got what she wanted in the end. Her land would go to her children, but in the sordid process the land was lost to her. She also, no doubt, wanted to die at the hands of Ralph, and it was poignant that she came full circle and was killed by the very person who sowed the original seeds of her misdeeds. I wish it would have been more though. So much story leading up to her comeuppance, and not much about it when we get to it. Good story. Wouldn't read again. I wouldn't recommend it to the weak-stomached or anyone who likes their heroines to be the good guys.

Roshni Kakad _oshni_akad — A great summer vacation book, fun and adventurous. I don't know that I will read any more books from this series as book 2 was already starting to feel formulaic. It is hard to resist talking dragons and adventures on the high seas.
