Southern Reach Üçlemesi 1: Yok Oluş - Jeff Vandermeer ücretsiz kitap indir

Miles Benson milesbenson — This is another "currently reading" that I have sort of abandoned...although Marquez is a genius, and the imagery and magical realism is so unusually beautiful, I get lost keeping track of the ten Don Julio Luis's or whatever...everyone seems to have the same name! And I keep chastising myself for not reading it in spanish...sigh...es asi la vida...

Yoon Hyun kyh — This is where the series starts to get loopy and kind of lame. A shame.

Andrea Garcia garciandreae — Includes material potentially inappropriate for pre-teens, such as use of the b**** word and reference to a teacher who has skeletons in his closet connected to the fact that he enjoys all the young female students at the academy. I'm glad I read this before passing it on to younger relatives. I'm not even finished with it yet. However, the writing style is patronizing for adult readers (harry potter grade level) and yet, as I said, could be questionable reading for kids the same age as the main character (8-13 years old). It's marketed as being for 12 year olds and above... I do enjoy the "bonuses", all the mathematical references (number theory too!) and computer science jokes. They're what carries this book. Everything else seems very cliche for the times... Also, how many stories have there been now about some sort of gifted child with rich adoptive parents who finds his way/adventure in an off-beat private school? Boy, am I sure that most foster kids wish they had these Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler type wealthy but oblivious and disconnected parents. It's a writer's cop-out (writer's license, whatever) to have a character who doesn't have any real parental restrictions to speak of and yet often lives in a comfortable and safe home environment. Also, why does the wise all-knowing authority figure, mysterious though they may be, always male and generally a "white" male culturally if not in physical appearance? Examples: Dumbledore, Gandalf, Aslan, Merlin, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Darth Vader even (though we know who did the voice), the list goes on. It's time that we opened the curtains and revealed the wizards for who they truly are.
