Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain kitap ücretsiz indir pdf

Jesse Cervantes jessecervantes — 4.5 stars This book was not at all what I was excepting it to be, it was so much better! Talk about a fun, enjoyable read with a main character who's sarcasm, awkward social challenges and desire to enjoy her own life and relish in the moment, made for a story that was both entraining and relatable. I played band for one year in middle, but have no idea what it's like to be in band in high school, let alone the marching band, but reading Elise's story gave me more of an insight to what they do. Erin Donnie's has created such a realistic portrayal of what it's like to be apart of this club. You don't have to be a band member to appreciate Elise's story. She's a character who's fun to get to know as she struggles with wanting to step outside of her parent's goals and aspirations for her, and discover her own goals and want she wants to do. Along the way she learns a lot more about herself and what it means to be a true friend. Elise is a bright, highly intelligent character who has an amazing talent as a french horn/mellophone player, but she seriously lacks people skills. I admired how disciplined she is with her band practice, but until now, this poor girl did not know to how fun. Her story brought back a lot memories of high school and I liked the way Erin did a fabulous job at incorporating what it's like to start high school. The meeting of new friends, making a good impression, not messing up when it's your first performance with the marching band (which I have never done), trying to find your niche in life and at school as well as learning how to deal with the on going struggle with your parents who seem want to still see you as a little and not as an adult. I adore Elise's Marching Band friends. They are funny, and such a great support for Elise. I also like they're all able to relate to each other in so many ways, especially with how hard each of their parents are on them. Erin's writing is fabulous! She grabbed my attention from the get go and I really enjoyed reading this book. This is truly one of those fun, quick reads that left me feeling like I truly missed out on all the fun of Marching Band in high school. Oh, I can't forget to mention the sweet little romance that happens in the story. This is one of those realistic, clean cut and dare I say it, charming books that middle graders, teens and older YA fans will like. I highly recommend picking up this book!

Sarshin Sobhani _arshin — One of Steinbecks more challenging books based on the story of Kain and Abel.

Jon Garrison jon9jagfa4d — What a delightful find this one was! Totally expected run-of-the-mill chicklit, and it was an exquisitely written gem! Not perfect in the plotting, but I highlighted passage after passage of beautiful prose. Our book club loved it--average ranking 8/10. Can't understand why general customer ratings are lower--maybe too many WERE expecting something more predictable. (The cover doesn't help...) Intriguing story that initially alternates between the reflections of a young, female war correspondent working for Edward Murrow and broadcasting reports of the London Blitz via radio AND the denizens of a small Cape Cod town who wonder if war will be declared--or if the Germans will show up off the coast. Each character is so rich and complex. A midlife romance is downright hot. There's humor and pathos. Scenes about the Blitz made you feel like you were reading a movie. And the character's journey to follow displaced refugees fleeing the concentration camps was a unique twist on what we all have read over and over again. We know what's to come--but most of us have not really delved into the diaspora that preceded it. Some predictable outcomes but with unpredictable ways of getting there...and as the author starts to spend more time with the journalist and less with the town, I think the book lost some of its appeal. Indeed the last third is a bit redundant. But never a waste of time to read--and its ambition, while not flawlessly executed, is to be admired. Definitely one that I would recommend.
