Palme Yks Tyt Türkçe Konu Anlatımlı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Palme Yayıncılık

Its about different people called "Others" who try to maintain the balance of Good and Evil. The Good side is called the Night Watch and the Evil side is called Day Watch; since they are opposite because they have to make sure that they don't break the Treaty. And the saga mostly focuses on a night watch agent named Anton and his adventures in the watch. The book, like all the others, contain three stories and are brought together in the end to show the answer to their search. I really like how eveything comes together and how the plot always changes and makes the reader want to know the answer of the case. I highly recommend the book, as well the rest of the saga.

Tutkun Seyyah-Henry James TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Altın Bilek Yayınları

Having been raised myself in a bar next door to the author's home town of Fort Montgomery, I am fascinated to read what is called the best Temperance novel of the 19th century. Set in the 1850s, this morality tale portrays the evil of alcohol in the story of a mill owner who sells his mill to build a tavern in town. Told by a visitor to the town who stays at the tavern for ten days over a period of ten years, he shows how customers and owner are all too weak to resist the temptations of demon rum. An interesting look at pro-temperance literature of the 19th century.

The only bad thing about this book is the binding. Every single paperback copy I've ever seen is falling apart, because the quires aren't stitched together and the glue isn't strong enough to keep them from falling apart. Content-wise, it's a ridiculously complex story with more ins and outs than I could even hope to describe.

Revolver (Tabanca) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

** spoiler alert ** I enjoyed reading this book overall more than the two-star rating would indicate, but there's a crucial plot twist towards the very end of the book that I thought depicted rape in a deeply problematic way. I think that Grossman tries to play the metaphor towards empowerment here; he's not utterly unaware of the trickiness of portraying sexual violence in a fantasy context. While the rape transforms the character who suffers it, and she ultimately becomes powerful and happy (in spite or even because of what happened to her--again, a difficult subject and stance), Grossman's treatment of this scene bothered me, and not just because it's disturbing subject matter. In fact, this scene is not disturbing enough--that's one of the problems with it. Grossman has a rollicking sense of plot (though he tends to repeat the "how do we get back to fantasyland?" approach too many times; I finally got bored by "we want to be there, but we're stuck here! Whatever shall we do?" premise). He clearly read all the same books that I did as a child, though sometimes his allusions to them are so blatant and nod-nod, wink-winky that it undermines the wittiness of the reference. Also, his characters are always (in this book as in the last book) stuck in opulent environments being bored. Whether Fillory (the magical land at the center of this tale), Venice, or Cornwall, the destinations in this novel are posh, involve the copious consumption of liquor, and the conspicuous expenditure of cash (or, in Fillory, gold). Which feels a bit yucky to be honest. Maybe he's exposing the financial fantasy at the heart of the aristocratic medievalism that characterizes modern fantasy fiction. Or maybe he's just spent a lot of time vacationing and wants to describe envy-and-drool inspiring destinations for his readers. But it made me feel a little icked out by the privileged kids here. So he tries to counterpoint it by the overachieving-girl-addicted-to-crack...I mean, magic....subplot, and while reminiscent of Dark Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this plot line, giving the backstory of Julia, the girl who did not get into the magical academy where the rest of this crew learned their arts and (witch)crafts, was way more interesting than Quentin (the protagonist's) whining. Though I will say that one thing that I liked about this postmodern parody of fantasy fiction is that it recognizes a central strain in Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter: namely that these books are at their heart about moody boys coming of age, whether Edmund craving Turkish delight from the White Witch, Frodo burdened by the ring, or Harry possessed by Voldemort. Ultimately, while Grossman tries to be constantly snarky (a tic that gets on my nerves because he doesn't often strike my funny bone), he is in fact writing a fantasy novel in relatively good faith here. And I like that. But I think I'm done with this series. It's ultimately more about ungainly plots than it is about compelling characters, in spite of Quentin's constant dilemmas and vacillations between arrogance and self-loathing. I did like Abigail the talking sloth. But I think I ultimately like my fantasy straight up rather than on the rocks. Also, this is so derivative! I know parody is derivative by its very nature, but at least a good third of this book felt like an inferior crib of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. (that's the problem with having read many of the same books the author has--the tendency to feel cheated of the genuine article, in spite of Grossman's impish delight in reminding you that he's copying.)

Şu Yarasayı Yakalayın! Nehir Maceraları-Adam Frost TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları

A pithy, sharp, satiric look at America. Basically a lot of blog rants strung together to form a book. No sources, no real depth, Barbara Ehrenreich is preaching to the choir. Yes, America is polarized into the haves and have-nots (with many of us in the middle sinking farther down on the spectrum). The failure of this book is to spark debate about what to do next. All you're left with is a scummy feeling of hopelessness as another crass example of how we're getting screwed is dragged out and paraded in mock disbelief.
