Superman - Super Villain Show Down-Paul Kupperberg ücretsiz kitap indir

Konstantinos Papachristos konman22445b09 — I wish you could do half stars on goodreads. It's really a 3.5er. The story is only a 3, but the writing is a 4. I love the prose. So poignant, poetic, and powerful. I found myself fascinated with the line breaks Wolff chose for each of her chapters. I really loved both the main characters, Lavaughn and Jolly. I saw bits of my students in each of them. Note, my students are all African-American. But when I pictured Jermey I pictured my own young nephew. This made me realize the characters weren't actually assigned a race. I think that element of the story makes it even more beautiful. Of all the little cliches and thesis made in this novel, my favorite was the dissertation on the word ain't. I think I better be more adamant about the use of that word in my classroom. Lavaughn's mother taught me what I never knew my parents were teaching me any time me or my siblings used that word.

O A _s_sman — I'm not going to bore you with the same old criticisms of Philip Roth. His work most certainly errs on the side of the misogynistic, this novel in particular. I found the first half of the novel largely insufferable--long episodic passages followed by longer passages of ironic carnality--yet the prose is titillating in its salaciousness. Roth does, however, make up for the largely wasted beginning of the novel with some truly revelatory material near the end, most particularly in the last 100 pages. Whether or not plowing through the 350 preceding pages is worth the resulting epiphany is each individual reader's call.
