This story socks it to you. Mieville has an excellent grasp on the geopolitical powder keg that is international politics. I know all the experts like to talk about Language vs language. And there is plenty to talk about on that subject. But what I found most intriguing about the story was the scathing review of "Big Government" on colonial life. Everything was started because Bremen made a power play, with consequences so disasterous it might wipe out an entire planet. Looking through man's own history, how many times have we encountered similar situations? Living in an embassytown myself, I can relate to or at least imagine on certain levels what the Terres went through. When you watch your own government sqwak and holler about things, you often wonder if they even have a clue since they so obviously refuse to take the time or effort in understanding the natives and their cultures, their history, who they are. They just see what they want, make assumptions, and deem what should be done based on political correctness or favor. It's scary because they, safe in their homes far, far away do not have to live with the fall out of those not-well-thought-through decisions and proclamations. It's easy to decide what to do when you aren't there to deal with the consequences. As much as I enjoyed the story, Mieville's writing is tough to slog through. Hence the loss of one star. For the most part, I read this fairly quickly. But the times where there was lag, it slowed way down. I think sometimes Mieville enjoyed a little too much of his wordplay. The smoothness of the story got bogged down by the cleverness in the words, which I found a bit ironic considering the whole premise of the story to begin with. All-in-all, for my first Mieville book, I enjoyed this thoroughly. While it won't be any time soon, I will definitely be reading his other works. This felt less science fiction-y to me so I don't think you have to be a hard core sci-fi fan to enjoy it. Allthough if you're not into international politics or science fiction, it might be rough going for you.

Anyone interested in the history of the Americian Left in the 20th century MUST read this extremely informative and entertaining book. I got to know this amazing woman when I was a student at UCLA in the mid 1960s. As I read the book I can still hear Dorothy's voice. It's as if she's talking directly to each member of her audience. That's how she always waas. A dedicated Communist who was always refreshingly critical of the Party and the movement in general, she captures the essence of an entire century of struggle. She was a true revolutionary who never forgot that she was a human being first. Read this book

I liked this book. I thought I would like it more than I did, but it is a great book - no doubt. It seemed to slow down for me near the end, but the tale of Wart and his knights of the round table is a classic one. Some quotes that I enjoyed from The Sword in the Stone: "Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance." - Merlyn "Well, I can teach you two things - to dig, and love your home. These are the true end of philosophy." - the badger

I really don't remember much at all about this book. I know I read it years ago, I wrote it down. I remember reading it. It was a classic. But the details of the story evade me.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series: I love to read it and I hate that I love it. Robert Jordan continues the same modus-operandi here as the previous couple of books in the series; that is, he gives 400 pages of exposition followed by a 150 page wrap-up. And what's the point of writing more in a review here? If you read the first eight books, you'll likely read this one no matter what I say, just like I'm going to continue reading the series in spite of the ever decreasing plot-to-word-count ratio.

What I want to read is the original by Fry, Secret of the Ron Mor Skerry, but it's out of print. The movie was great.

Year of Wonders describes the 17th-century plague that is carried from London to a small Derbyshire village by an itinerant tailor. As villagers begin, one by one, to die, the rest face a choice: do they flee their village in hope of outrunning the plague or do they stay? The lord of the manor & his family pack up & leave. The rector, Michael Mompellion, argues forcefully that the villagers should stay put, isolate themselves from neighboring towns and villages, & prevent the contagion from spreading. His oratory wins the day & the village turns in on itself. Cocooned from the outside world & ravaged by the disease, its inhabitants struggle to retain their humanity in the face of the disaster. The narrator, the young widow Anna Frith, is one of the few who succeeds. With Mompellion & his wife, Elinor, she tends to the dying & battles to prevent her fellow villagers from descending into drink, violence, & superstition. All is complicated by the intense, inexpressible feelings she develops for both the rector & his wife. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have never read any fiction set in this era and I really enjoyed this story.

Kocam bana bu Noel'i verdi, ama ertesi Aralık'a kadar okumadım. Ama sonra 8. sınıfları öğretme konusunda çok kararsız olduğum bir zamanda beni çok neşelendirdi. Bazen zorlu bir grup.
