All of these books are so much fun. Maybe not literature for the ages, but who cares. I finished them all in 10 days. A great escape.

ViennaWorld T751 Keman Müzik Kutusu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

I needed to consult an encyclopedia of ancient, medieval, and contemporary European history about every other paragraph to really make sense of this book. Needless to say I didn't have one. I really enjoyed the final one hundred pages of this, as that bit was quite thrilling and TO THE POINT. I didn't leave this book without learning anything, however. I know darn well what a philologist is now. I do not recommend this one. Not because it lacks merit, just because I wager I don't know anyone who can comfortably slalom through the rapid-fire obscure historical references with any ease and enjoyment. I may just be Projecting, though. :)

Günlük Dualar Ve Sureler TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

The Uses of Enchantment tells the story of a middle-class suburban teenager, Mary Veal, who mysteriously disappears. When she turns up after a couple of months, she is taken under the wing of a therapist who determines that she faked her own abduction, and writes a book about this "syndrome" in adolescent girls. The story is told from different perspectives--that of the therapist, the present-day teenager (now in her 30s), and chapters entitled "What Might Have Happened," which recount the abduction (or do they?). There is also a parallel story of a teenager abducted in the 1970s under similar circumstances, and another one about a Salem witch. What actually happened is never made clear, which I guess is much of the point, but so frustrating! I'm not opposed to ambiguity in plot, and under certain circumstances find it refreshing, but there was so much ambiguity here that it obscured the story. Although Julavits is great at description, there is also some uneveness in tone, and I found some of the dialogue (exchanges with her sisters, in particular) excruciating. I have no sisters and therefore no personal experience upon which to judge, so perhaps talking to them is excruciating? All in all, an ambitious novel with some rough patches.

This was just a cute and fun girly book! What a struggle it would be as a Gallagher girl who is so "exceptional" yet still want to be "normal." Oh, the joys of teenage years :)

Siyah Sancak - Pandoranın Kutusu - Ali Kuzu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kariyer Yayınları

This is the kind of historical fiction that educates, effortlessly. Set in Singapore, spanning 1927 through 1946, this novel was a unique read for me in that it covered an era I love in a setting wholly unfamiliar to me. Chand's characters aren't royalty or society elite but every day people caught up in a changing landscape; real historical moments meet the every day. Chand's focus in this novel is on three primary groups in Singapore: the Eurasians -- Howard Burns, his mother, and his sister, local citizens of indigenous and European descent, viewed by the white Europeans as only a step above 'natives'; the transplanted Indians -- Raj Sherma, who migrated to Singapore for economic independence and ends up embroiled with the Japanese by a twist of fate; and the Chinese -- Mei Lan, a smart young woman whose family straddles modern European ideas and traditional Chinese culture and is caught, herself, between accepting her family's wishes and starting off on her own. In almost any novel, the lives of women interest me most, so I was unsurprised to find that Mei Lan's story grabbed me immediately. However, Chand's detailed plotting, character development, and nuanced study of race, class, and education sucked me and I ended up caring deeply for both Raj and Howard as well. Even though I think the jacket blurb tries to imply a love triangle, this isn't just a historical romance set up in an exotic locale. This is really a novel about Singapore and the occupation of the land, first by the British and then by the Japanese. Identity and alliance is intrinsic to the story. Howard's mother, Rose, perceives the European disdain for Eurasions to be right and appropriate while Howard chafes at the implication. Raj struggles to rectify his experiences with the Japanese -- every one he's met has mentored and educated him -- with the virulent anti-Japanese sentiment in Singapore. Both Howard and Raj are captivated by Gandhi's anti-colonial revolutionary actions in India, but are split as to whether Singapore should take up the movement. Mei Lan is desirous of the university education her brother is given, but feels committed to her Chinese identity especially when news of Japanese brutalities in China reach Singapore. Like Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice, this book covers the before, during, and after of occupation, and I appreciated Chand's ability to offer the spectrum of emotional responses. My only complaint is that despite the novel's length (483 pages), some moments felt thin and underdeveloped. Enormous events are skipped over, casually alluded to, and years pass with only a vague comment. The dips in and out of the lives of the secondary characters was both enjoyable and maddening: I loved the additional facets through which the story was told but I was frustrated by the lack of development and resolution with them, as they were as compelling as the leads. This was my first Meira Chand novel but I'm absolutely going to look for the rest of her books: this was a meaty, engrossing, sink-your-teeth-into historical novel that will stay with me. I'm haunted by the characters and I wish I could follow them another twenty years.

If it is poetic license to be so blunt in narrating your own statutory rape, then, ok, I have no argument. But I do get the story. He had been running with scissors all his childhood and there's no one telling him that he was in danger. The writer's childhood was confusing and very sad. I wonder where was Social Welfare and Services during those times.

This author reminded me of Jennifer Weiner (don't be fooled by the name, "Curtis Sittenfield" is a woman), which is probably how I got sucked in so quickly. I enjoyed the book very much...until the end. I was incredibly disappointed in the ending! Now, I'm not going to say that I always need a happily-ever-after kind of ending, but the final chapter of this book was so anti-climactic that it reminded me of some of my ex-boyfriends. :(

I've always loved the movie The Ninth Gate, so when I saw this in a used book store in Chicago I went ahead and picked it up. I really liked it in a lot of ways, I liked Corso's character and there were some great quotable passages, but the changes in the story of the movie are SO MUCH better and more interesting than in the book, particularly the ending.

Get ready for a good cry at the end of book 3. Some people say these are in the "Harry Potter" genre. I say they're even better.
