im sure there are other, maybe better, concise jazz primers, but this is the one that fell into my lap and it was pretty good.

Bir Şapşalın Günlüğü 2 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Egmont Yayıncılık

Me sorprendí a mi misma recordando ciertos detalles del libro a pesar de los años. Un libro divertido, lleno de enseñanzas, con personajes adorables y un final feliz. Me sentí identificada con Jo y ahora, buscaré los otros libros de la autora :D

Frida Kahlo - Nazan Arısoy TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Gece Kitaplığı

Yay! I won a book! Okay, before I get to the proper review, I have to post the following complaint to get it out of my system. The author all-too frequently uses "I" when he means "me", e.g., "Coach Petersen told Blake, Thelonius and I to get in the pickup truck" is wrong, wrong wrong. I cringe when I hear people talk like that and reading it is so much worse (because the author and editor should both know better). When in doubt, reduce the group to just the first person pronoun: you wouldn't say "Coach Petersen told I to get in the pickup truck". Brrr! Okay, that's out of the way... Time for the actual review! This is a social/political thriller touching various themes such as political correctness, racism, sexism and tolerance, but it's not exactly 1984. Satire is difficult to pull off without going overboard and burying your point. Farce has a far more subtle balance. Gary Wolf certainly did not hit me over the head with either the humor nor his viewpoint, allowing the story to flow. The book is amusing and fun, though I confess I thoroughly dislike sports so the football details tended to make my brain glaze over - but that's not his fault. So why did I want to read this book? For the political upheaval of the US in 2020. The premise pulled me in. But I wanted to like the book more than I actually did. There wasn't much background to how the world got so insanely PC that not wanting to have women in the NFL is evil and not wanting to promote how evil America is during the Superbowl half-time show is considered racism, though the concept is interesting. Political Correctness at its most extreme is funny, when it isn't bewilderingly sad, and Wolf captures many absurdities quite well, though fails to capitalize on many of them. (With mandates of 80% minority in every business - racial, immigrant, GLBTG - there's no exploration of what effects the enforced reduction of 40% of the population - white males - to 20% participation in the workplace has had on society. Nor is there any exploration of the effects of enforced ethnic quotas - apparently disadvantaged people suddenly have the education and expertise to perform in all areas. What about the focus of the PC attacks, the wealthy elite? What about the 5% who control nearly 60% of the money in this country? How are they faring under the new rules? The football players in the novel don't seem to be suffering.) Further, the story simply comes to a stop with no resolution except an offhand note to say that it was resolved through another American civil war. The point of the story was supposed to be in the growth of the protagonists... but the book falls shy of that goal. Jayesh, our protagonist and narrator, has Maureen McGovern's problem - torn between two lovers. I'd say he's distracted by two lovers, as he's only just met both of them and one he really doesn't know at all. He makes a firm choice between the two by the end of the book, but it's fairly anticlimactic, inspite of the gunfire. His girl friend Ashley makes the only real change in the course of events, but her initial rhetoric seems hollow to begin with, making her adoption of Jayesh's outlook somewhat mindless (although, within the context of the story, the "right" viewpoint). Though farce doesn't rely on verisimilitude to make its point, a little more development of these areas and others would have made this a gripping novel. As it stands, it's still an interesting, light read.

a fun and fantastical read, it's a bit like a child's nightmare/dream/daydream all rolled in one.

Ölü Erkek Kuşlar - İnci Aral TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kırmızı Kedi Yayınevi

i didn't like it as much as Lullaby, but it was still cool in that plahniuk bizzaro sort of way. it's sort of like a mixture of the Jonestown massacre and The Who's 'Tommy', all intertwined with little household tips for getting stains out of things and such. the pages are numbered backward, which i think all books should do because then you always know how many pages you have left!

Gündemdeki Tartışmalı Dini Konular TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Ensar Neşriyat

Very cute---lots of interesting facts, and weirdly enough, Ms. Berenbaum's sense of humor reminded me of the way Kathy Reichs uses humor in her Temperance Brennan books. Is there some kind of...class that scientists take about that kind of thing? I need to read more nonfiction, I found it oddly comforting and nice to have a book with cited articles/books that I could look up in the "References" section in the back. I also thought that the author's clear love and defensiveness about insects was adorable. It didn't ever occur to me that an entomologist might feel that way---all attached and like she needs to defend bugs from defamation and harm. I really enjoyed this and will probably order her other books from the library.

Elif Gibi Sevmek - Hikmet Anıl Öztekin TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yakamoz Yayınevi

probably the best of the series. as genre fiction goes, Harrison writes well above average. I never get yanked out the the story by lapses in the writing quality. And as far as character development: I really like where her protagonist is going and how she is maturing/coming int her own.

Kınar Hanımın Denizleri - Ece Ayhan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yapı Kredi Yayınları

Gave accounts from all three sides involved. Brought to light a lot of events that happened differently than what was originally reported. Also many events brought out that were just recently declassified from the American side and through interviews with some of the Russians who were involved both in Cuba and also back in the Soviet Union. The entire book covers events from a timespan of less than two weeks. There was plenty going on. I remember it as a scared 13 year old.
