Amerikan Tanrıları (Ciltsiz) - Neil Gaiman TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İthaki Yayınları

I have heard about this book for months and I should have known the hype would ruin it for me. That being said, I can't know for sure that I wouldn't feel the same about it had I read it with no knowledge. Simply put, I think it is a really well written novel with some great ideas but it really didn't gel for me. It wasn't to my taste, whereas it is for many people. My problem - the third person narrative that floated in the present and future tense. It kept me too removed from the protagonist, which in turn didn't allow me to care all that much about her. (If I don't connect with the protagonist, I don't connect with the book.) It seemed a little too pretentious at times, dithering at others. Too much introspection and not enough detail into Frankie's machinations. The narration just plain annoyed me as it kept me at a distance and elements like the positive negatives, while cute were really clunky. It just seemed like in some areas of the book that the author was trying too hard. For instance, there are segments where Frankie goes on about Jeremy Bentham and the concept of panopticon - that felt like self-aggrandising to the worst degree. I loved Lockhart's social commentary about the Old Boys Club mentality - so prolific in these arcane establishments. I was in one for four years and I think she has done a marvellous job as depicting the complete obliviousness and sometimes deliberateness there is in keeping females at bay. I like the themes of feminisism and proactiveness but it was undone for me by Frankie's belief that Matthew was the guy for her. I would have preferred that her motivations were in larger part the sexism issues than the Matthew's lying and exlcusion of her as was depicted in the novel. The scene between Matthew and Frankie in the sick bay didn't sit well with me. I didn't like Frankie in that scene, the respect that I had built for her was pretty much decimated. Don't get me wrong, I am being very critical but I did enjoy the book. Lockhart's novel is a great, entertaining read and had it not been for the very specific, styled narrative I think I would have loved it. Regardless, I can appreciate the well crafted plot and the themes that are presented within it's pages.

Continuing our project of my reading Prairie bedtime stories, this was her next choice. Both of us remembered enjoying this one as children, but we'd both forgotten just how funny it was. Really a joy to read again, and to read it out loud. Harold, Chester, and everyone's favorite little vampire bunny are great.

Learned a little about bond trading. Like a good mystery it ends with all suspects gathered in a room.

Planetwaves Pwınstc25 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

It's true, you just can't go home again. That doesn' t mean you literally can't go home, of course you can. It's meant in the context of when you do, it's (home's) not what it once was. Sometimes it's because the place that changes, the people there change, and/or you change from your time away. Either way, it's never will again be seen by you as what it once was to you. That holds all too true for my experience with Sweet Valley and the characters who reside there. The book takes place 10 years later for the twins. We jump into it finding Elizabeth in NY and Jessica in CA, and they're not speaking to each other. Jessica finally went too far and committed the ultimate betrayal. Through present time stories, memories of the characters into the past, and jumping from perspective to perspective the reader is slowly allowed to know what happened and how it happened. Unfortunately as this timeline takes the twins from their Senior Year in highschool, through college, and into their late-twenties it means the reader is subjected to a lot of childish drama. Some readers have been away from Sweet Valley for more than 10 years and therefore are way more grown-up than the twins end up being. What once thrilled in Junior High, and maybe HS for some of you, now only comes across as childish, dramatic, soap opera-ish, and akin to bad reality TV. The twins, though they are supposedly 27, they and their friends seem to act as if they're still 17 and in HS. There was a moment when the world probably heard the loudest scream echoing from far away. That was the moment that the word "like" was like overused and had like just grown like completely like ridiculous. Okay, which is just another way of saying what's already been said. It was just a truly frustrating aspect of the story, especially since there was so much excitement about this book finally coming out. However, the last 1/4 of the book was definitely it's saving grace. It was great to catch up with all of the characters to see where they've been and to see what possibilities lie ahead for them in the future. Yet, I don't think SWC generated enough interest to warrant an eye being kept on the next release, if there is one. Now if you like soap operas though, then you're going to love this one. Ultimately, it was this last portion of the book that takes SWC from a 1 cup to a 2 cup.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yapı Kredi Yayınları

This book is vocabulary-rich, has a lovable main character, and a great sense of humor. Its a fun read, and although its a longer book its a quick read. I would definitely recommend this book to reluctant readers and kids who enjoy fantasy fiction.

I enjoyed reading this, but there were times I found myself rolling my eyes at the situations she found herself in. I am willing to read the next in the series and see if I enjoy it more than I find it ridiculous.
