Holy moly, are you ready for a rant? I knew it was coming, but the part where she talks about 'harvesting' their roosters (aka killing them, which she tries to write about in a comical way, which I found nauseating...she talks about disemboweling a rooster while family members read about how she's the "74th most dangerous liberal american" in some publication...HA HA ISN'T THAT FUNNY, no it's not.) and down-talks to vegetarians about their life choices and in her opinion, how she basically thinks being vegetarian is meaningless ("think of all the bunnies that were killed when your spinach was harvested!" & "if you don't want to kill living things, why do you take anti-biotics!!!!! viruses & infections are living things too!") and not NEARLY as great as growing your own roosters to eat, really bothered me as uppity and wrong and generally ignorant of many of the reasons why vegetarians are so. It was a weak defense and I could just imagine countless vegetarian people justifying returning to meat because Barbara Kingsolver told them to do it and made them feel foolish about their decisions. She seems to claim that the best & most earth friendly diet is to grow your own food organically, which I agree with, but barring that, the next best option is eating locally grown, grass fed meat, which I don't agree with. She mentions that 75% of vegans/vegetarians who go to work at meat farms "return to eating meat" which is just such a bizarre statistic to throw in there because what kind of vegetarian works at a meat farm??? Personally, I want to stay as far away from a slaughterhouse as possible, even one where the chickens and cows "led happy lives beforehand." I could go into my own ethics about the evolution of humans and improper use of farmland in the US as feed grain, but I'll try to get to the point. I do think that if you're hellbent on eating meat, the best way to do it is locally, supporting humane farms - ie free range (truly free range, not supermarket "Free range"), grass fed (natural diets) and local. And if you can do it yourself, raising your own livestock, that's the way to ethically confront what your role in the food chain is going to be. And if you're hellbent on dairy, samesies. But I really hate how Barbara Kingsolver simplifies vegetarians motives & makes them sound so stupid and ineffective, which they aren't. She sounds uneducated on the subject, and the multitude of reasons why people become vegetarian - which include not JUST the environment (which yes, it does positively affect the environment to be vegetarian) but also ethics & health. To be honest, her ~20 year old daughter follows up that particular chapter sounding much more mature about it than her mother. Anyway, I still have a little more to read of this book, but that chapter has been burning me up, and frankly ruined so much of the beauty of this book preceding it. I love when Barbara Kingsolver talks about the changes in her garden, the quirks of the vegetables she grows, and how it all brings her family together - she is such a great writer - but I absolutely HATE when she gets preachy and pious, which is unfortunately VERY often.

I read this entire book in less than 24 hours after watching the movie. It gave much more of the story and really hooked me in to the series. I hadn't read fiction in 7 years and this series is really what got me reading again.

Completely amazing story. There was a really good balance between prewar, raft survivors, prisoner of war, post-war coverage. Really inspiring. Would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

I imagine I read this in the late 80's. I thought it was wonderful at the time.

Incredibly well constructed. I loved this book in high school. Fitzgerald doesn't write women particulary well, probably because he's obsessed with their mystique/untouchability. Daisy is the poster girl for all that longing.

Except for one part of one story that I found needlessly sexually explicit, I loved this book. It's up there with the short stories of Flannery O'Connor and Ray Bradbury in my opinion.

Seni de Görcez Anne Olunca TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İnkılap Kitabevi

This is a good mystery story for older young kids. My niece and I read it together, and we enjoyed the story. I pre-read the book before I read it with her, and I admit, I had to "cheat" and look at the key in the back of the book to discover the answer to the mystery. I don't think that the clues presented themselves very readily, and that's a good thing in a mystery. If this were an adult mystery, I'd think it was great! In a *children's* mystery story, however, maybe a few *slightly* more obvious clues would have been good--I'm not saying the challenge should have been removed, but an easier bone every now and then would have been welcome. In short, my niece enjoyed the book, but I know she would not have found any of the clues on her own. Beautiful illustrations (of course), and as another reviewer mentioned, the rhyming text was outstandingly well done! The illustrations and well-crafted text raises this from a three star to a four star for me.

These stories were all very interesting. I enjoyed them, but I didn't understand all of them probably because of a cultural gap. I will definitely try to read more. I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Miniklere Öyküler: Kırmızı Araba-Nalan Aktaş Sönmez TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Çilek Kitaplar

I never read this as a kid the way a lot of folks I know did. The writing style is very dated, which certainly explains why so many people who do read it as kids have really awful experiences/memories of it and end up really hating it. Nobody writes like that anymore. I think I appreciate it much more now than I would have then. Absolutely the ultimate quest tale, and I completely enjoyed going along on the journey.

N Diyeti-Ali Dereli TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Kitap

This is a great addition to the Elm Creek novels, focused on quilters, stitching life together in many places and eras. In this installment, a contemporary discovery at Elm Creek Manor bookends an excellent historical story focused on Joanna, a runaway slave introduced in the earlier novel, "The Runaway Quilt." We learn about Joanna's return to her owners and how she survives while never giving up her dreams of freedom. She's a skilled seamstress and quilter which puts her in the households of 3 families, a place with a few privileges but mostly fear, hardship and lack of trust. It's a moving story, handling the brutalities of slavery in 1859-62 without sensationalizing or cheapening the experience. At times it's an uncomfortable read but Joanna is a sympathetic, strong character with dignity, heart and hope. This novel finishes off a little mystery remaining from "The Runaway Quilt"...in fact, I'd recommend reading that before "The Lost Quilter."
