Just incredible. This was an incredibly moving story that got a lot of emotions boiling inside of me. This book was just so real, and I know I use this term a lot, but I think it's an important term to use when discussing books, because that's often what makes or breaks a book for many of us. I have a feeling that Annelie Botes has either experienced autism first hand through a friend or family member, or she has really done her research. This book really moved me. At first I thought it was going to be kind of an investigation book where people assume the mom did it, but through clever detective work and looking at the past we're going to learn that the kid was murdered by somebody else... Instead it's an introspective look at the past nine difficult years in this woman's life. You are amazed by her strength and determination to carry on in the face of all that is going against her. You love the support she gets in Miriam, who's story we also see a lot of. The book mainly focuses on the two constant figures throughout Alexander's life. His mother, Ingrid, and the housekeeper/helper/shoulder-to-lean-on/wonder-woman, Miriam. Both these woman care for Alexander and love him no matter what. But both women see different sides of Alexander. It's a relief when brighter moments occur, because I constantly found myself grinding my teeth in anger either at the police interrogators, or the townspeople, and especially the compeletly corrupted church. The church is what pissed me off the most in this book, just read it and I'm sure you'll be grinding your teeth down too. Also, Dawid, Ingrid's husband gets on your nerves too, but it's a lot more understandable why he's sort of an asshole. With the church... I just don't get it. Gah! Can't even think about it! What else was I going to say? I don't know if it was my edition of the book, or if it's like this in all English editions of the book, but the language is not American English, and I'm not even sure if it's British English. It's clearly a specific English spoken in South Africa. The book was translated from Afrikaans, and actually the first of Ms. Botes books to be printed in English. That was another thing that was strange and also compelling, was where the book took place. Supposedly the time was the year 2000, but it constantly felt like the 1960s or something with the way autism was being dealt with and the way blacks were being treated. The difference between whites and blacks is obviously very clear, and not just in the way they are treated. There's a line that's thought by Miriam where she says she would rather be in Brown Heaven than in White Heaven. She reflects on how their cultures are different. Comparing the white people's treatment of Alexander to the brown people's treatment of another mentally disabled boy named Tompy. The whites bascially shunned Alexander and his family, offering no help or understanding. While the browns loved and accepted Tompy. When his mother went to work, Tompy was always looked after by neighbors, fed and kept safe. There's much more I want to say about this book. Be careful though, because it will really make you think. I just finished it, and that's why I'm reviewing right away, because I'm still thinking about it and I don't want to forget.

Tırpanlı Adam TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İthaki Yayınları

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.

Stephanie Meyer must be using subliminal writing techniques!! I do NOT read romances and I generaly mock vampire/goth lit fans. And yet somehow Meyer had reading hour after hour, never able to put this novel down. The only answer is that shu MUST be using subliminal techniques to hook her readers. I truely loved this book. I loved how the relationship between Bella and Jacob developed in such a heartbreaking manner. I can't wait to read Eclipse.

At age 10, I thought this was a book about the physics of an alien universe. Now I see it is about kinky alien sex. I was a dense young nerdling...

I always enjoy going to the International District when I visit Seattle. Knowing places in a book always makes it enjoyable. I even had a cup of tea at the Panama Hotel Tearoom once without fully understanding it's history. The tea was delicious. This book really sheds some light on what American citizens of Japanese decent had to go through in the 1940's. Very interesting without being heavy. Quick read.

Easy, quick read but engaging plot that keeps you hooked. I also liked that it didn't try to "pretty" things up at the end like so many young adult books do. It stayed true to its dark premise.

This was harder to follow than I expected, given that I'd read most of the Batman stuff that came before and after. I think this was partly because the main event happened in the midst of other DC Universe events, and I didn't have that context. A little of a disappointment for me.

Three Extremes (Üç Sıradışı) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

for those of you who read my blog, you'll remember that Blood Crimes by Dave Zeltserman, was in my opinion a bloody good read. So how will I take to this my second exposure to Zeltserman, have I got the Zeltserman bug? Caretaker tells the tale of Jack Durkin, who along with the previous eight generations of Durkins have protected the world from the all consuming threat of the Aukowie, ravenous plant creature that will destroy the world within days. That's if Durkin doesn't full fill his contractual duties, and Durkin takes these duties seriously oh so very seriously. In previous generations the townsfolk took the Caretaker seriously, and paid him handsomely for his services. However these days only a small handful of folk, still believe in his duties. Life for Durkin has become a struggle, a struggle to get by on his pittance of pay, a struggle to be taken seriously, and a struggle with his family. His wife doesn't take him seriously and is fed up with her peasants lifestyle, his two sons were born in the wrong order. Only the eldest can become a Caretaker, but he refuses to follow his destiny. Whereas the younger son would love to become the Caretaker, but the contract cannot be changed, it cannot be broken. Fed up with her life Durkin's wife seeks a way to make money out of Lorne Field and the Aukowie. So she turns to the flash young lawyer Minter, who plans to make the Durkin's, and himself millions by turning The Aukowie into a Disney style amusement attraction. That'll go without hitch won't it folks. that's all I'm going to reveal of the actual story. As with most things it's better if you find out for yourselves. The Caretaker, is one hell of a book, books like these don't come out often. Within the relatively short 235 pages, Zeltserman has weaved a tale that is moving, terrifying, funny and deep. This is a very different novel than that of Blood Crimes, where Blood Crimes was a action based noir thriller Caretaker is a thoughtful slow builder, that piles on the tension page after page. The story is told from two narratives Durkin, and his wife. Durkin fully believes that the Aukowie are real, he is completely and utterly dedicated to his job and the contract. So much so that he wants some boys, who did nothing more than throw some tomatoes at him, hanged in public. He believes that as the contract states that anyone who interferes with the duties of a caretaker should be hung, that by doing this the kids violated the contract. He even goes to the local sheriff to make him round up the boys. Durkin's wife, who like most of the towns folk doesn't believe in Durkin's job, and its through her parts of the novel that Zeltserman introduces doubt into the existence of the Aukowie. Has Durkin just fooled himself into believing they are real, is his devotion to his job that strong? Or are they just a figment of Dirkin's mind. If you think I'm going to tell you the truth, then think again. This book is being marketed as a horror book, which in my opinion is a misfortune, for this like The Thief of Broken Toys, transcends the horror genre. There has been talk about what is literary horror. I'll tell you it's this. This book is dense with themes, how far will a man go to defend his beliefs? How society treats those they no longer feel are useful. Zeltserman handles these themes with the skill and deftness of an author at the top of his game. This is a moving and haunting book that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. Buy this book now, in fact buy two copies and give one to a friend, they'll be indebted to you.
