Seksen Günde Devrialem-Jules Verne itibaren Antik Kitap içinde LIT biçim

Abigail Bell abigailbell — At sixteen, Ana not only discovers she's an angelic spirit in human form, but falls in love with a demon, Dylan. As demons are supposed to be the bad guys, this doesn't seem to be a good idea. However, Ana soon discovers good and evil are very much in the eye of the beholder. I found this a disappointing read. Partly from the unbelievable plot and annoying characters; partly, due to the author's lack of care. If I'm told the heroine has a baby sister, I don't expect her to proclaim herself an only child the first time her boyfriend meets her parents. I also wasn't fond of the author's love affair with adverbs. I think this was supposed to be a book aimed at young adults, but, except for some of the content, it seemed a bit young for that age group. Obviously, the content I speak of put it above middle grade, so I'm not sure who I can recommend it to. The heroine, Ana, struck me as a naïve and, at times, downright stupid girl, who was also a very bad friend - wanting Cheyenne only when she needed Chey to do something for her. The reasoning behind everyone thinking her special passed me by. She was as quick to believe in Dylan as she was to believe everything against him - no proof required. No logical thinking expended. I might have liked Dylan if he hadn't spent most of the book making overly suggestive comments for no particular purpose. I could have done without the religious references. The author didn't seem to be trying to convert anyone to a particular religion, but I still felt God was being stuffed down my throat more than I would like. The plot was decent, with hints added at the beginning until the climax of the end, but the end itself felt as though the author had forgotten to add the final few words. What did I like? The beginning. The beginning was what got me to read the book in the first place. I like how it got straight into things and immediately intrigued me. I liked the voice of the heroine. Unfortunate that the heroine herself didn't endear herself to me. I liked the pacing. So, yes, good beginning. Shame about the rest of the book.

Sara Portugal saraportugal — I didn't finish it. the topic is interesting but the book was a slow read.

Madhan Raghavan maddy27 — Good read. For those of us who started with the world of the Others back in the Fantasy Fix ebook days [fyi: Fantasy Fix was rewritten as One Bite With a Stranger] it's good to finally see Ava fall. Her sarcastic 'Queen Bitch' attitude is alive and well - even though it takes a hit when she is violently turned from human to vampire. Her teeth-grinding suppression of her prejudices and fears of the Others community, even and perhaps especially her dearest friends, makes becoming a vampire herself even more terrifying... Of course there's Dima - her not-quite-in-time rescuer who eases her conversion and wants to teach her how to be a successful [and happy:] vampire. But Ava doesn't want to be a vampire and she doesn't want to be happy - she just wants her old life back. So maybe if she just ignores everything it will all go away... Complications abound - there's a connection between Dima and Reggie's Dmitri, there's political maneuvering between the European Vampire Council and the American Others, and then there's the insane female vampire who plans to take over the world...one body at a time.

Ugo Akabike ugoakabike9bce — This is one of my all-time favorites. So many characters, plots, quotes...Too long to list them all. Bottom line: It's an all time Russian classic for a reason, and it's incredible that a man, Tolstoy, understood women so well. Timeless and worth every reading second...

Simone Gomes simonegomes — Very strange book. Namely, that it takes a Iranian perspective on the Arabic language and that the content is almost completely written in English. I have shown this to a couple of native Arabic speakers who were able to immediately identify that it was produced in Iran. What is most odd though is that the book uses sentences as examples which aren't used in Arabic, and that I haven't ever heard or read in old "classic" Arabic. Just odd... The highlight of the book is the analysis of Arablic Grammar which was clarifying and concise, and arranged in progressive chapters. A major downpoint is that all of the exercises given in the chapters have no solutions set or supplementary solutions manual. So without a direct person instructing you, you dont have a hope of knowing if you are completing the many exercises correctly. If you are looking for a textbook to learn Arabic I wouldn't recommend this book, but if you are only looking for a reference grammmar on the language it is interesting.

Ahmad Shwikh alshwikh1944fb — I read this book at least once a year. I never get tired of it. Wonderful story.
