Onlar Diridirler - Remzi Çayır itibaren Panama Yayıncılık içinde LIT biçim

Akshita Goyal imaginationswirl — Every teen girl has posters of their most-worshipped celebrity heart throbs adorned on their bedroom walls, and for Welsh bffs, Petra and Sharon, in 1974, it's the Partridge Family's David Cassidy. Petra and Sharon spend all their days and nights obsessing about David and wondering what it'd be like to meet him, his favorite color, memorizing the lyrics to his songs and of course, reading the tell-all mag "The Ultimate David Cassidy" in which David reponds to letters from teens like Petra and Sharon. Fast forward 24 years to Petra's mother's funeral, Petra stumbles upon a letter from the Ultimate David Cassidy magazine informing Petra of a prize she'd won to meet David Cassidy himself!! Why hadn't her mother told her? Determined to realize her teen dreams, Petra writes the magazine who agrees to honor her winnings, and fly her and a friend to Las Vegas to meet their teen idol. Listen to what happens as two women journey back to their past, revisit their teen selves and get the ultimate dream come true. An enjoyable listen; my favorite part of the audio was actually After the narrative; a special interview with David Cassidy done with the author, Allison Pearson.

Andrew Grimanis ajgrimanis — When I finished Cynthia Hand's Unearthly, I thought, God help who sits beside me when I find out this isn't a series. But when I read it is, I realized I'd have to wait until 2012 for the next book's publication...then I realized the possibility that the world might end before I get to read it and now I'm just a mess. OH, LIFE!!! This book is awesome. It's YA so I'm not ashamed to admit that I absolutely swooned because, of course, while the writing was great, the characters well-developed and the plot interesting and well-paced, it was the romance that brought me to my knees impressed me. Let me point out how the romantic relationship(s) in this book show what other YA romance books are missing out on: these characters take time to get to know each other; they don't glimpse each other in a crowded hallway and fall in love, flinging their all too willing bodies at each other as soon as the opportunity comes. When you invest time in a courtship, or even just a friendship, the moment of romantic revelation is all the more powerful. I felt them fall in love, and thus in turn I fell in love with them. Writers, if you don't want uptight, book snobs like me on your tails, take heed. Give me the goods and your safe. Like your friend Cynthia Hand. But this is a four star book because I felt the book to have been missing a little something, something. Concern #1: why didn't Clara and her family attend church? That boggles me. They're angel-blood, so shouldn't they be all about God? Concern #2: the first (and only) time we meet Clara's father, it seemed like he had something very important to discuss with her but we're never told. He just kinda lives in NY and apparently believes that new cars substitute for an absentee father...well... Concern #3: this book isn't like most series books because it didn't feel very conclusive even for the first of a series. It felt like it ended mid-action. And the last 50 or so pages were very cramped. But then again, it is book one. Okay, forgiven. Concern #3.5 did Tucker have to wear cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and belong in a rodeo? Like, did he absolutely have to? Concern #4: (view spoiler) Concern #5: Was her vision/purpose supposed to be as confusing and vague as it ended up being? Cause I understood none of that. But all this is irrelevant at the end of the day because this book has way more good shit than bad. I think this book actually takes it's time but as readers, we're given information punctually and provided with enough entertaining scenes to pleasantly pass the time. (view spoiler)...by the by, I read this in ONE sitting. When I finally got up, I was empty of stomach and dizzy of head. True story. The characters are all likeable; endearing in their unique, subtle-sometimes-not-subtle ways. I even found the bitchy, pretty cheerleader quite complex...like, when does that ever happen? The book fits its genre snugly, with most of the regular tropes expectantly placed within the tapestry of the plot but its the way Hand rearranges them and flips them over our heads that marks this debut novel's true accomplishment. CANNOT FUCKING WAIT! Can you sense my excitement? --- UPDATE: Screw it, I'm giving it a 5. My heart throbbed too fiercely for it to deserve a 4.
