Ruhundaki Zehirle Yüzleş - Tess Gerritsen TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Martı Yayınları

This book was enjoyable except on one score. The main character, Sarah Tolerance, is interesting and sympathetic...she is a "fallen woman" in the year 1810, earning her keep as a private investigator. (The author terms her genre as "hardboiled Regency.") The book is well-written and the plot moves along in a satisfactory way. The fly in the ointment is the fact that the author has chosen to significantly alter the history of the period for no real reason whatsoever. Without giving too much away, the crux of the plot is, at its heart, a political struggle in which the two sides battle for possession of some information which may permit one to discredit the other, and so gain power. The precipitating event of this power struggle, in the book, is that Queen Charlotte, as Regent for George III (???), has fallen ill, and thus it is presumed that a new government will be formed by her heir, whoever that may be, since in this story the Prince of Wales has been disinherited over his Catholic marriage (???), but is now a widower (???), and thus may be reinstated as heir, and everyone wants his favor. Of course, Charlotte was never regent, Wales WAS (hence...the REGENCY period in which this book is set...), and his first Catholic wife was not dead at the time of his eventual remarriage. And the thing is, none of that has any real bearing on the plot of the book. The struggle for power between the opposing parties could have easily been over some actual political issue of the day, or between two competing greengrocers over cornering the market on cabbage, and it would have made no material difference to the actual mystery to be solved. (The resolution of which, may I say, (view spoiler)) This bizarre authorial choice, to completely alter historical events to no purpose, serves only to make the rest of the slight historical liberties taken (an independent female private detective wearing men's clothing and fencing well enough to defend her honor in the early 19th century) seem much more glaring than they otherwise would to a reader caught up in the excitement of the plot. It's a shame, because I did enjoy the book, but am left dwelling more on why the author chose this course than I am upon the story.

Betül Büyüyor: Marketteki Maşallahlar TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

I'm all for geeky stuff, so I was intrigued by the concept of this book. However, I'm not too into YA- I've only read a book by one of the authors and it was years ago, so I didn't really know what to expect in terms of writing style. In general, the stories provided a light, fun read. I know that these are short stories, but too many of the stories felt like they lacked substance and development. Even worse, some were long and slow and in the end, I still felt like I didn't get anything out of it. I would rate the first half closer to four stars. I liked everything up until The King of Pelinesse, which sucked, then came The Wrath of Dawn, which was okay. Quiz Bowl Antichrist and The Quiet Knight put the book back on track to greatness, but then everything just plunged downhill for the next five stories until a last minute save by The Stars at the Finish Line. I was looking forward to the last story since it dealt with Rocky Horror, but I found it very disappointing. Stories I Enjoyed: Once You're A Jedi, You're a Jedi All the Way - Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci One of Us - Tracy Lynn Definitional Chaos - Scott Westerfeld I Never - Cassandra Clare (i loved this one!) Quiz Bowl Antichrist - David Levithan (i quite liked this one too. it had a spark a lot of the other stories lacked.) The Quiet Knight - Garth Nix The Stars at the Finish Line - Wendy Mass (so cuteee!) Unbearable: The King of Pelinesse - M.T. Anderson The Wrath of Dawn - Cynthia and Greg Leitich Smith Everyone But You - Lisa Yee Secret Identity - Kelly Link Freak the Geek - John Green The Truth About Dino Girl - Barry Lyga This Is My Audition Monologue - Sara Zarr It's Just a Jump to the Left - Libba Bray
