Planet Waves Kulak Tıkacı - Pwep1 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Planet Waves

It's easy when writing about the future to make predictions that in the end, don't pan out. Sci-Fi writers are a brave bunch, especially the old school ones like Bradbury, who put dates to most of his stories. And sitting here, in 2009, and reading a story where men conquer Mars in 1978...well it is a bit funny. And some of the technology of the "future" is a bit antiquated. The one thing that takes me out of Bradbury more than anything, his is insistence to call them "rockets" instead of "space ships." What's not easy to do, is to gaze into the future and accurately depict how man and society will behave in the "world of tomorrow." Bradbury is shockingly accurate in this arena. Sure, he may call the vehicles "rockets" and depict Mars as a haven where little green men roam...but he also writes about the isolating effect of technology. The laziness of parents who use digital nannies to raise their children. The gulf between rich and poor when it comes to exploring the stars. In the eyes of a modern reader, it may seem that Bradbury makes a lot of errors in his depiction of the future--but from where I sit, Bradbury gets more right than he gets wrong. He certainly gets all the "big" things correct. These stories all have a "light" or "breezy" tone to them, but do not be deceived. Bradbury can be darker than anything churned out by today's modern horror writers. His view of man and his future is both romantic/idealistic AND very depressing. THE ILLUSTRATED MAN isn't as good as Bradbury's MARTIAN CHRONICLES, but it is still a damn fine anthology of wonder and terror. An excellent window to the past AND a fantastic view of our possible future(s). Bradbury is amazing.

This is a good one if you can get through it. It was written in the early 1800's so it is a little cumbersome, but it really sheds light on how society was at that time (and boy am I glad I live in modern times). :)

Next to Acheron, this was my favorite darkhunter/werehunter book yet. I couldn't put it down. Dev has been one of my favorite characters since he was introduced. And Samia is perfect for him! And I love the blend of both species. Great read!

I started reading Sarah Strohmeyer's books after discovering the Lipstick Chronicles she and several other sassy authors contribute to. In the time I actively read that blog Strohmeyer wrote about this book a lot and I was looking forward to reading it. Finally picked it up last week and I have to say I enjoyed it. The recipes discussed sound incredibly good, but that's just the proverbial icing on the cake. The real heart of the story is Julie's relationship with her mother and her childhood crush Michael. Michael seems too good to be true and their relationship blossomed fairly quickly on the page. But Julie and her mother's relationship seemed incredibly real to me. The only thing that really disappointed me was the lack of exploration in the relationship between Julie and her father. There was so much resentment built up on Julie's side, I really would've liked to see her father's side of things or even for him to have a few more lines - something that would give me the chance to see if their relationship would be salvageable after the story was over. Would I recommend this book? Sure! It's not just a light fluffy read, there's moments that inspire strong emotion, but it also brings a smile to your face or even makes the reader laugh out loud in a few places.

Kemik Torbası - Stephen King TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Altın Kitaplar

Evermore is the first in the Immortals series by Alyson Noël. Immortals are a bit like vampires… but not. Ever Bloom is a teenage girl who becomes entangled in the world of the Immortals. Ever’s backstory feels pieced together from other works. Like Buffy Summers, she was one of the popular girls at her old school, but after a disaster, has to start over at a new school where she’s considered a freak and only has two friends. In Ever’s case, the disaster is a tragedy in which her family died; Ever survived with a scar on her forehead a la Harry Potter. One of the reasons she’s socially awkward is that, similar to Sookie Stackhouse, she’s telepathic and can “hear” people’s unflattering thoughts, and she falls in love with the first guy whose mind she can’t read. And in a plotline reminiscent of Twilight, the guy is a gorgeous immortal creature who is assigned to work with Ever in class; they begin a hot-and-cold relationship; and Ever utterly falls apart when Damen is absent from her life. Ever’s survivor’s guilt — and how it affects her sister, Riley, who is lingering in Ever’s life as a ghost — is the most interesting aspect of Evermore. Unfortunately, the middle of the book sags and loses focus, too caught up in mundane scenes of cattiness and drama and Ever’s angst about whether Damen really likes her or if he’s more into his ex and/or the local queen bee (and he’s certainly flaky enough to raise those questions). Flakiness aside, Damen is so over the top that I almost think Noël is pulling our collective legs. He’s stunningly gorgeous and has been a model. He’s filthy rich. He has genius-level talent in almost every field; for example, it’s implied that he taught Picasso to paint. He’s been friends with pretty much everyone who’s been famous in the last 600 years, from Shakespeare to the Beatles. One wonders why he’d need to go to high school at all. (The obvious answer is “to pick up teenage girls,” and indeed he does eventually reveal that he enrolled to get close to Ever.) The supernatural plot becomes more prominent at the end of the book, but has major issues. There’s too much exposition, for one; the villain monologues and gloats at great length, and Damen has some infodumping to do as well. Then, the final showdown is resolved in an overly cheesy way. Evermore is also plagued by “telling” prose, stereotypical secondary characters, and confusing metaphysics. Bad editing, too; for example, Ever’s late dog changes sex from one paragraph to the next. I enjoyed the interplay between Ever and her sister’s ghost, but cannot recommend this book. Written for Fantasy Literature.

Meh. I think this suffered from too high expectations after really liking Shopgirl. This amused, but not a ton.
