Uçsuz Bucaksız - Ursula K. Le Guin ücretsiz kitap indir

Noreen Grace _oreen_race — Excerpted from the full review: "Many a bibliophile has been quoted as saying, ‘Give me books before bread!’, but Ariel Manto’s acquisition of an ultra-rare 19th century tome literally lands her near to poverty. Yet, for a copy of The End of Mr. Y, a literary work with which Ariel is obsessed, the decision is effortless. The fact that everyone who has read the book seems to have disappeared (including Ariel’s Ph.D. advisor, who once gave an academic talk on this ‘curse’) does not dissuade her. Once she reads The End of Mr. Y, she is left with more questions than answers, and a burning desire to follow the journey of Mr. Y himself. Her own journey, replicated on the steps that he – and Ariel believes, her absent advisor – took, sends her spiralling into an alternative realm of reality, called the Troposphere, in which she is able to spatially manoeuvre by piggybacking on the thoughts of others. However, Ariel soon realizes that (a) not all in the Troposphere is as it seems, and (b) she is not alone in her mindsurfing odyssey. It is hard to figure out whether or not Ariel Manto deserves the reader’s respect. At several points in ‘The End of Mr. Y’, attempting to love Ariel can feel like an effort in loving the most (under)doggedly dismal parts of ourselves, the ones we feed with cheap alcohol, too many cigarettes and a lifetime’s dingy disappointments. This doesn’t mean that the novel’s protagonist is poorly-drawn; quite the contrary – she shines by her very lack of lustre. Insofar as a character’s convincingly-rendered moments of unlikeability make her eminently more likeable, Ariel Manto’s a gem."

Mitch Denton mitchdenton8955c6 — Maybe this is better if you're in Pittsburgh and want to know more about it, but there are definitely gaps in coverage (Fort Pitt is listed as a place where something is held, but I didn't find any information about the location itself). As a travel guide, I didn't think it was very good. The maps were certainly lacking, so prepare yourself with a city map if you're using this one to plan a trip. Oh, and addresses aren't particularly helpful, either, since they give you streets, but not numbers.

Bernard Thomas _ernard_homas — I really enjoyed this book. It basically follows the pulp detective formula, except he's a wizard. I suspect that a lot of the negative reviewers don't understand the genre they're reading. It's a good old hard-bitten private detective narrative with magic. I thought the characters, while somewhat cliche, were great. The story was engaging, and it had a good wrap up. (I'm not going to rehash what a thousand people have already posted about what the story actually is). This book doesn't take itself too seriously, it knows what it is and it revels in it. If you want a good, light, detective novel with a splash of fantasy, then I'd highly recommend Storm Front.

Sherif Nashed sherifnashed5969 — Very nicely done. A wonderful help to knowing how to read various parts of the Bible, and why it's important to know the big picture of the Scriptures, and to study and meditate on individual portions of Scripture.
