Modern Resim Nasıl Okunur TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: HayalPerest Kitap

A charming illustrative book with some great quotes from famous, and not so famous people. It seems to be true "The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat" and there is a certain calmness evoked when the pages of this delightful offering are turned. Some lovely illustrations are adorned by some equally fetching quotes and it is a book to dip into now and again and, when feeling low, have another look to cheer oneself up!

Bir Leyla ile Mecnun Hikayesi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Tilki Kitap

ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature. I picked up Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora with high hopes because I've really got a thing for stories about confidence men. I don't know why. I guess that's something to philosophize about another time... I did like Locke Lamora. Lynch has created a unique and fascinating world full of wonderful creations such as a crime boss who rules his empire from a houseboat, his little daughter who sits on his lap drinking ale and kicking subordinates with her steel-toed boots, a blind priest who begs for alms and eats gourmet meals off fine plates in his luxurious cellar, noblemen who live in glowing glass towers, a blood-sucking rose garden, alcoholic oranges, and women who fight jumping man-eating sharks for sport. This is truly entertaining stuff! The pace of the novel was quick and the plot was simple, but interesting. Flashback interludes often broke up the action, which was occasionally irritating. At first I wondered if the editor had dropped the manuscript and not got it put back together in order, but I soon realized that these flashbacks serve to give us information about the world without major info-dumps, and backstory on the characters without having to watch them grow up. The pace escalated during the last 100 pages or so, and I couldn't put it down. Scott Lynch generally writes very well, but I do have three minor complaints in that regard. First is that the first half of the book is slightly over-written. The dialogue is too witty and clever. The smartest and best-educated people you know would have felt dull-witted while conversing with Locke and his gang of thieves. The narrator, also, tries a bit too hard to impress, and this makes for some slightly awkward prose. But the writing was toned down in the latter half of the book as the action picked up and things got more serious. I expect, now that Mr Lynch has proved himself, his writing style will become more natural, and better for it. Second is the profanity. While I don't mind reading profanity in a fantasy novel (especially one whose main characters are the dregs of society), if it is overused, it loses its potency. I once remarked to one of my grad school professors that he needed to coin some new curse words because he cursed so much that it was impossible for his students to know when he was really mad. Likewise, Locke and his friends curse so often for no apparent reason that, by the end of the novel, when those words would have been most meaningful and appropriate, they lose all effect and the climactic scenes lose a bit of poignancy. I don't doubt that Locke and his friends would curse as much as Mr Lynch portrays but, since we can't actually hear inflections and tones of voice, Mr Lynch would do better technique-wise to make those words count by using them to give us clues about a character's state-of-mind. Third, there are 499 pages in my hardback edition, and I think the word "alchemical" was used 499 times in this story. If you've got some friends who want to read The Lies of Locke Lamora with you, I suggest getting together with a bottle of your favorite liquor, appointing a designated reader (and driver), and every time he or she reads the word "alchemical".... But these are minor complaints -- enough to keep this from being a 5-star book, but not enough to keep me from greatly enjoying it. I'm looking forward to the next installment. If there's anything I like nearly as much as stories about confidence men, it's stories about pirates, so the two combined should be just my thing. And I really look forward to exploring more of Scott Lynch's world. Read more Scott Lynch book reviews at Fantasy literature.

Excellent book! I loved the evolution of the character; how all these circumstances combined with his personality brought him from part time professor and farmer to reluctant spaceship captain.

It really irritated me how badly the adults in this book treated the main character! But the rest of the book, especially when she gets the upper hand, was very good!

Devlet - Platon (Eflatun) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Antik Kitap

** spoiler alert ** "I didn't say I liked it ... I said it fascinated me. There is a great difference." It's taken me longer than I like to tuck this particular classic under my belt. Did Wilde's dark novel fascinate me? Yes. Does it reflect various aspects of his time? Yes. Are the messages imbued within the story fresh and relevant today? Absolutely yes. The casual reader should be aware of several facts when digesting this special read: 1) Oscar Wilde penned this homoerotic horror story in a period when homoeroticism had to be dressed down quite a bit in order to be published; 2) "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was originally published in installments; and 3) Wilde was always a greater playwright than a novelist, and it shows. The strengths of the novel include fabulous dialogue rife with droll witticisms fitting all too well into the Edwardian period. Wilde knows how to laugh at himself, at society, and even at his audience, no matter how cynical, dark, and sarcastic he becomes. The conversations alone immortalize the work and compensate for its shortcomings. Another powerful attraction is Oscar's ability to establish scene and setting (another playwright skill.) Powerful description pulls the reader into elegant drawing rooms, aromatic garden parties, dusty opium dens, and the sinister attic schoolroom harboring Dorian's perverted secret. Wilde's prose is a tad dry and not a little threadbare in the show vs. tell ratio. Clearly, scenes and dialogue are where Wilde shines. Individual chapters read like scenes in a play. This isn't a horror novel so much as it is a social commentary with horror elements. Wilde explored several themes in this story and the more horrific actions are delivered with understated menace. Horror fans probably won't feel they got their money/time's worth out of the read, but afficionados of psychological thrillers will devour it. The novel's shortcomings include lack of emotional depth and underwhelming characterization. Dorian Gray is an obvious sociopath, and readers are rightfully repelled by him and by his actions. The bizarre supernatural transfer of his sins upon his portrait falls a bit flat since this is never really developed or explained. It is intended more as an incidental occurence than a major plot point. The true horror of the book isn't that Dorian cannot age or bear the traces of his crimes; rather it is how Dorian uses his perpetual youth and beauty to bring harm, unhappiness, disgrace, and even death to others. Perhaps my indifference to Dorian Gray is due to the book's chronic focus upon Dorian's criminal and immoral behaviors. Sociopathic characters can be interesting and even sympathetic to an extent when they're better written. Only one of the main characters, Basil Hallward, emotionally engaged me, and he is murdered halfway through the book. I can't help wondering what this book might have been had Wilde written it today. I'm glad I read it, but something dark and dissatisfying remains inside me after finishing.

This book drove me crazy. Why? (don’t laugh) It drove me crazy because of all the misspellings. Me. Annoyed. By. SPELLING. MISTAKES!?!?!?! My family and friends are now rolling in their seats. I’m the queen of “creative spellings” I can barley spell my name. Call me hypocritical. Call this irony. I can dish out spelling mistakes but I can’t take them. I know it is “wierd.”

10/10 Even better than Crichton, Cook & Palmer. The novel was absolutely wonderful. Gerritsen's writting has always kept me interested. A good page turner. I recommend this novel to any people who loves a good nail bitting mystery.

Hm... thought I'd rated this. Anyway, excellent retellings. The thing I love about fairytales is that they lend themselves to such a variety of original retellings, it's wonderful seeing how the elements of the familiar stories can be spun into something creative and new. These were very well written, but I think the one I can remember the most vividly is the Snow White one.
