Out Of Africa (Benim Afrikam) ( DVD ) itibaren içinde LIT biçim

Andrei Boldyshev andreibold1dbe — This was a fairly unique Dickens experience, I think. I don't remember ever seeing him use 2 narrators before (or 2 pov's). I really liked it, but was surprised to find several flaws. I guess Dickens was human, after all! Apparently this is considered one of his darker and less successful novels. He did go on to write "A Tale of Two Cities" just after this. And while I can see why this one was less successful, I still enjoyed it very much. I absolutely loved the characters of Amy Dorrit and Arthur Clennam. It's funny but I have actually missed Amy since finishing the book. :) I read it quickly so that I could watch the new BBC version online. Now I wish I had taken my time and savored it more, because the movie adaptation was not watchable for me. Why, oh, why do they have to ADD things to a perfectly harmless story and make it sleazy? If you are considering watching the movie and you are sensitive to such things as a portrayal of a lesbian relationship (SO NOT IN THE BOOK) and pretty heavy sexual innuendos (ditto), then don't watch it. I only watched one of the 6 episodes and was so disappointed I actually cried. (Yes, I think you could consider me sensitive). Anyway, read the book! It's wonderful! Don't watch the movie! Instead, write Andrew Davies angry letters! :)

Nathan Bartlett nathandbartlett — It was an interesting book about a women who had brain damage due to a car accident. Her right side of the brain was damaged leaving her unable to see things to her left. She didn't have use of her left side of her body even thought everything functioned properly. It is just that her brain could not communicate to the left side to function. This is a fictional book even thought the condition is real. I would recommend. It is a quick read.

Mark Allen markdallen539e — This is the first book in this series. I had read the fifth one last fall, and LOVED it, so was anxious to start at the beginning. All of the books take place in a small town in Quebec called Three Pines, and the crimes are investigated by Armand Gamache, from the Surete Office in Montreal. In this story, a well-liked former schoolteacher, Jane Neal, is found dead in the woods, and immediately there are all kinds of suspicions. For one, her dog was at home, and she was known for never leaving the house for a walk in the woods without her dog. Also, for the first time ever, she has entered a work in the local art fair, and though she has been painting for years, no one has ever seen any of her work. Her friends and neighbors are puzzled and frightened. When Gamache and his associates arrive to handle the investigation, we learn about many of the others in the town. When it is determined that Jane Neal was killed by an arrow, the story begins to go in a completely different direction. Likewise, when the will is read, more intrigue begins. Jane Neal's friends as well as Armand Gamache manage to work together to solve the crime. This is a well-written, well-paced mystery with some touches of Quebec history and thoughtful characters. On to #2!

Andrew Berry berrydesign — Great! Took me a long time which I liked, since it wasn't over with quickly and since it was good, I didn't want it to end. The way she tells the story is really creative and interesting
