Lior Mizka _iormizka — Filmi görmeden önce bunu okumak için koştum. Şaşırtıcı bir şekilde filmi tercih ettim. Gardner'in hayatı ve başarılarından derinden etkilenmişken, büyük bir yazar değil. Geçenlerde Cam Kalesi (MASTERFULLY TOLD) okumuştu ve bu ölçmek vermedi. Ne yazık ki, çocukluk hesaplarının hepsi bir çocuğun bakış açısından değil, yetişkin Chris'in kavramlarının düzenli olarak eklenmesi ile anlatılır. Beş yaşındayız, anlatı sesinin yaptığı gözlemleri ve sonuçları yapmayacağını ve eklemeler yoluma girmeyeceğini hepimiz biliyoruz. Kendim için noktaları birleştirmeme izin vermesini istedim. Anlatı yazma 101: göster, söyleme. Bununla birlikte, erken yaşlarda sık sık hayal kırıklığına uğramış olmama rağmen, yaşlandıkça beni daha az rahatsız etti ve hikaye okumak oldukça zor oldu çünkü. Filmin bu adamın hayatında ÇOK küçük bir parçası olduğunu unutmayın. Film sizi ilgilendirirse, kitabı okumamanızı söylemezdim. Ancak başlangıçta buna sadık kalın ve San Francisco'nun her yerinde ağır taşınabilir röntgen makineleri taşımanın uzun açıklamalarını beklemeyin. Orada değil.

Antonio Garcia vipervirtu2b59 — ** spoiler alert ** CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! Is this series over yet? The 8th book in the House of Night series, Awakened is the second-to-last book before the finale (at least, that’s what I thought—correct me if I’m wrong)! Can I get a woo-hoo? While I loved this series in the beginning, it has started to drag and all the pop culture references are getting to me. I don’t recall there being so many in the beginning books, but now it’s just getting ridiculous. To me, adding so much petty dialogue revolving around these references is ridiculous. It adds nothing to the plot and makes the writing seem lazy—like the Casts had a word limit to reach and thought they’d throw in a few silly conversations that add nothing to the plot. Aside from what I’ve said about previous installments to this series, Awakened actually had a few good things going on. First, I love—LOVE—the Stevie Rae and Rephaim romance that’s going on. Zoey and Stark are old news (though Stark is way better than Heath, in my opinion—why the heck did they decide to bring Heath back??), Stevie Rae and Rephaim are the new ‘IT’ couple for the series. I love that Rephaim was finally turned into a real boy, though I did love the mysteriousness of him being a half-man/half-bird. Sexy. Second, I love Aphrodite. She’s a great character and is probably the most well-written character in the series. There should be more of her in the next book, in my opinion. And now the bad things: First, I can’t believe that Kalona can get into Stark’s body—how weird is that? Just because of this happening, I’m betting that—by the end of the series—Zoey is going to be back with Heath and Stark will be dead. There’s no way if Kalona’s in charge of Stark’s body that Stark won’t end up dying in the end. Second, where was Zoey this whole book? She chose to stay on the Island of Skye and completely ignored the responsibilities she should have been bold enough to take. And after mourning Heath, she immediately gets infatuated with trying to get it on with Stark. Lastly, out of all the characters to die in a book, why choose Jack? If it’s anything like Heath’s death, he’ll just be brought back anyway, but seriously. There are some other really annoying characters that could have been killed off instead. The first House of Night book, Marked, was released 4 years ago. Maybe I’ve just grown up a lot in the past 4 years, but I’m wondering why I was so intrigued with this series in the first place. The writing can be sloppy in places—and sometimes just plain silly—and the characters seem to act younger than their age. In 4 years, I’ve read so many better books and yet, after 4 years of reading these books, I feel like I should tough it out to the bitter end. Come on P.C. and Kristin—pick up your socks and write something great, something unexpected and amazing for the finale! Your readers deserve it.
