İlk Başucu Kitabım: Küçük Mavi Yatağım kitap ücretsiz indir pdf

Rhoel Paghunasan aguynamedrho — This was a recommendation from an old work friend. We really don't have similar reading tastes, but I like her brain, and she recommended The Historian, which I was surprised to enjoy, so I thought I'd give this a whirl. And I just don't know how to review this book! There are parts of it that should get a 5, and parts of it I'd give a 2. The interactions between the painter and his previous subject were marvelous, deep, and made me think. But the reminiscent parts about Olvido ... bugged me. On the one hand, I was intrigued by her story, and on the other hand, she was *too* enigmatic, *too* elusive, *too* ... the tortured, aloof artist. When I quote text from a translated work, I'm never sure who should really get the credit, but there was some really beautiful and powerful writing in this book. Also, some deep things where I actually made a "hmmm" noise out loud as I was reading. Like ... he had mastered technique, but he lacked the essential characteristic that separates enthusiasm from talent. And how about this random Peter Pan reference? I haven't been back to that city for a long time, but now I want to see it again. With you, Faulques. I want you to help me look for the shadow of that little girl, and later when we're back in the hotel, take needle and thread and sew it back to my heels... And more deep: ... the towers of Manhattan, Hong Kong, London, or Madrid: any city of the many that lived trusting in the power of their arrogant colossi; a forest of modern, intelligently engineered buildings inhabited by people convinced of their youth, beauty, and immortality, certain that sorry and death could be kept at bay with the Enter key of a computer. Something interesting to me in this book that was translated into English was the onomatopoeic words - they weren't written as we would in English. The camera click was "clic" and the noise flies made was "zum". Fascinating choice by the translator or the author or the publisher or the editor ... well, fascinating to me. As I often do, I fixated on something small and unexplained. What was he taking pills for? They probably have greater and deeper meaning, and yet, the author didn't even say why he took them, and what the pain was. That kind of thing makes no sense to me. The other thing that came to me often was that throughout the book, the author calls Faulques "the painter of battles". It was obviously intentional, but since this book is the first time he is doing this, I couldn't quite figure it out. Ah well. I'm recommending this one to anyone who has ever taken art history, or who is interested in photography. And to a couple friends specifically who I think would really enjoy the specificity and detail the author wove throughout the story. This one will stay with me for a while.

谢 龙华 tsetiny — A good solid addition to the series. Things I particularly liked: 1 Native American mythos - It was refreshing to see Mercy dealing with some Native American magical creatures. I'm kind of tired of the fae. 2 Coyote - He is sometimes written as a character in novels as someone so mystical and tricksy you can't really understand what he's doing or saying or meaning. Here he was a bit mystical but not obnoxiously so. I understood him as well as Mercy did and since we are filtering through Mercy's POV that was very well done. What a relief not to have to wade through too much vague shamanistic crap. 3 Adam and Mercy married - a. as we all know from watching various TV shows like Lois and Clark and Moonlighting, sometimes consummating a relationship in a series can take the tension and excitement right out of it. Here that didn't happen. I think it helps that the books don't normally revolve solely around their relationship. Mercy gets in trouble and Adam gets dragged into it trying to protect her. That can work for many books, keep them coming. b. Their relationship just gets sweeter and sweeter and it is great to see. 4 Bran - he wasn't in the book but hey I love him, so he always gets a mention. 5 Mercy is not invincible - she wins but it isn't effortless. She gets beat up and can't stop some bad things from happening. Which leads me to the one thing I didn't like 1 I never like it when little kids die. Even though it's fiction and it made the bad monster that much more realistically evil. I know. I know. Call me Mary Sue and plant me some daisies. And just because it ticks me off: handloomed is not at word. You weave with a loom. You don't loom with a loom. Therefore the correct phrase is handwoven. As a weaver and as an English major this irks me every time I see it. It's near the end of the book. You probably won't even notice it. Unless you're a weaver.
