Can Boğazdan Çıkar - Mehmet Ali Bulut TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Hayat Yayınları

This is one of those books that tells important pieces of my own life story. Kaplan really explores what it means to learn another language and adopt a second culture via language: how it feels to try to pronounce the French "r" for the first time, what's appealing about owning your first French pencil case. Suffice to say, I can relate and find these topics important! Her discussion of the (perceived or real) conflict of being francophile and Jewish is interesting, as is her description of her job teaching French back in the States.

Rüyadan İmparatorluğa Osmanlı - Caroline Finkel TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Timaş Yayınları

In this graphic novel, Spike and Angel are getting beat up by people from their pasts (most of whom are dead.) Who's doing this, and why? I'm not a big reader of comics or graphic novels, but my deep love of everything Joss Whedon inspired me to pick this volume up. I don't really know how to review a graphic novel, but it seemed to me that the dialogue for Spike was better than that for angel. I don't think the graphic representations of the familiar characters were terribly accurate, but I understand that that's usually the case in a comic. I suppose I would recommend this more to fans of graphic novels than fans of Buffy and Angel.

I received a copy of Trapped by Michael Northrop for free through the Goodreads First Reads program. I thought it was fun and easy to read. My 12 year old read it too and she enjoyed it as well. Very hip, very current, it was easy to relate to the characters in the story, especially Scotty. The book kept you intrigued and wanting to turn the pages but the ending left you unfulfilled, maybe to keep you longing for part two, but I certainly felt like it needed a little more in the conclusion...otherwise a good read indeed and a page turner.

Does anybody know what the deal is with the last sentence in this book? I read the post-movie version with Kiki Dunst on the cover, and the last sentence goes, "alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together" (which is how Ribisi's voiceover goes, more or less), and then I saw an older version that just ended with "alone in suicide, which is deeper than death." Thoughts?

Macera Geçidi 8: Lanetli Miras (Ciltli) - Tuncel Altınköprü TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Genç Hayat Yayınları

In the 80’s Rabbit Ears had made their trademark as one of the most popular series for children. “Pecos Bill” is no exception as this story won numerous Grammy Awards. With Robin Williams’ narration, Tim Raglin’s drawings, and Ry Cooder’s music, “Pecos Bill” is surely a story you will want to watch over and over again. Robin Williams’ narration, Ry Cooder’s music and Tim Raglin’s illustrations are the true highlights of this story. First off, Robin Williams narrates with high-energy and a cowboy accent to boot. Whenever, Pecos Bill goes through any peril, Robin Williams is loud and excited about the situation as if he was there when Bill performed these spectacular acts. Next on the list is Ry Cooder’s country music. Ry Cooder’s solo guitar performance has provided the perfect mood for the story, going from a light and happy tune highlighting Pecos Bill’s early adventures to dark and intense when Pecos Bill goes against the cyclone, which Cooder’s music may have foreshadowed Pecos Bill’s disappearance from Texas in this scene. Finally, Tim Raglin’s colorful illustrations have greatly influence the mood of this story. Raglin’s drawings are colorful and rich as he greatly details the plains and the cyclone in fluent colors. Raglin also illustrates Pecos Bill’s life in a humorous way, such as, the scene where Pecos Bill is shown throwing around the rattlesnake like a lasso. Tim Raglin’s highlighted illustration was of Pecos Bill himself, as Pecos Bill is drawn with white, fluffy pants, a polka-dotted handkerchief, and suave red hair that make him have the appearance of a true hero. “Pecos Bill” was considered to be Rabbit Ears finest half-hour story. Well, I think that they were right about that. “Pecos Bill” has everything that you would expect from a natural cowboy movie. The story has loads of adventure, comedy, romance, and suspense and each scene describing these genres is greatly enhanced by the narration, drawings and illustrations. “Pecos Bill” is loads of laughs and shocks and is a perfect film for the entire family.

Benim Hocam Yayınları Ykstyt 1000 Türkçe Soru Bankası TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Benim Hocam Yayınları

** spoiler alert ** Sighhhhhh. This book was filled with conveniences so it could make it to what's supposed to be a satisfying end. Was I satisfied? Yes, but mostly because I had managed to get through the final book of this series, which started taking a serious nosedive about two books ago. It starts of interestingly enough when Camelia finds out her aunt is really her birth mother but Camelia quickly morphs into the most whiny, selfish and irresponsible character I've read in a while. She treats her parents and Adam like shit, runs away to Rhode Island for a summer program (which is partially motivated by mystery of the book, a missing girl from there who Camelia feels connected to) and is a complete mess basically the entire time she's there. I'm not even kidding. She is always either ditching her classes or majorly pissing people off when she goes to them. I cannot even begin to explain how frustrating this was to read. Nearly every time she was late or missed her class, she probably could have been there on time. She was usually fully aware of what time it was and just didn't go. If she hadn't sought out this program and used Spencer's connections to get her in, it probably wouldn't have bothered me as much. But it did. One of the most upsetting, and in my opinion, grossest things that happened in this novel was the mischaracterization of Adam. Adam has always been sweet, caring, attentive, concerned for Camelia and all in all a really fucking awesome guy. However, he was wasted on Camelia. I knew it from the very beginning. This is not one of those love triangle series where you don't know who the girl's gonna end up with. We always knew who it would be. Adam never stood a damned chance and very quickly during this book did I decide that I was fine with this because Adam 100% deserved better than shitty Camelia. Here's the thing that really pissed me off, though. To avoid innocent ol' saint Camelia having to do anything to hurt Adam's feelings, Stolarz spends any and all time on Adam making him very insensitive toward Camelia's apparent depression. ....EXCUSE ME? This is not Adam. This is not how Adam deals with Camelia's issues. "Why can't you deal with the news and move on? Why are you letting it dictate your life?" Adam painstakingly repeats this sort of thing nearly every time he speaks to Camelia in this book. While what he says makes complete sense, having him constantly barrage Camelia with this sort of advice without ever trying to hear her out just makes him seem like a huge dick, and I saw it for what it was: a cheap, quick way to eliminate Adam in the cleanest way possible. And it was disgustingly clean. Adam shows up at the college and basically says it's not working out because she can't just be happy and they part ways amicably. Are you fucking kidding me? All hail Saint Camelia, she who can lust after her ex-boyfriend, treat her actual boyfriend like shit and then get to say adios with no blood on her hands so she can skip back to her dorm room and snuggle up to Ben who, who'd have guessed it?! was conveniently there. And if that isn't just a huge steaming pile of bullshit, immediately after her breakup, she and Ben have sex. It's basically like this: (dramatic whisper) He was never who I wanted. (disbelieving idiocy) Really???? [Says they love each other for the first time in five books and start stripping] (Logically) Wait, you and Adam just broke up. I don't want to be the rebound. (Idiotically) It's okay. (Equally idiotically). Okay Commence the sex. I just...I can't. Everything with Ben and Camelia in this book was just so cheesy and I love cheesy. I did not love this. And Camelia miraculously gets less bitchy as soon as she gets Ben's dick, which I guess is not surprising at all, but really frustrating because I'm all for love helping people out but I'm not so for it being the only freaking thing that stops someone from being a complete idiot. The whole plot about the missing girl was actually very good. It is probably the second best of the mystery storylines in the series, following that of the very first book. I can sincerely say I was pleased with all of that. So...at least there's that. Kimmie and Wes are superb. They are some of the best friend characters I've read and I adore them. I wish I could just read about them, honestly. Stolarz, please write a spin off that has nothing to do with Camelia and everything to do with Wes going to college in Rhode Island and Kimmie living it up in New York and the two of them constantly meeting up and partying and loving life. Please. PLEASE. Also, since I already established that I 100% didn't think Camelia deserved Adam, I was alright when it was revealed that Kimmie had a thing for him. But once again, how convenient. I considered giving this book 4 stars because I liked the mystery plot even though Camelia drove me nuts the entire book, and overall it was decently written. But a 3 star it is, because it's the final book and I was overall, pretty disappointed. There was really no growth from Camelia. It was always woe is me and everything is awful unless I have Ben (and most of the time when I have him, too). Plus, there's this lovely gem from Alexia in the last couple pages. "[...]Don't let anyone ever take your baby. Now, throughout the book it is made clear that Alexia doesn't appear to remember that she is Camelia's mother so this could be interpreted as her starting to acknowledge it, as can the painting of her (faceless) holding Camelia as a baby. But honestly, this just 100% seemed like an implication that Camelia is pregnant and I cannot tolerate this. Mix this with the sickly sweet Twilight-esque 'we have always' ending of the book for her and Ben, and the fact that we apparently never get to know anything about Camelia's birth father and I'm pretty set on keeping this at a 3 star. I can't believe how such a promising series completely deteriorated. Au revoir.

Üç Psikolojik Soru TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Aura Yayınları

The Stoned Apocalypse is erotic author Marco Vassi's autobiographical account of the year and a half he spent searching through the sixties counter culture for a way of life and a state of mind that offered him more bliss and freedom than the world he came from. The book begins when he is asked the question, "Are you searching?" by a woman he works with who subsequently leads him to join a small Gurdjieff cult. But Vassi has little aptitude for the "enlightenment-through-psychological-abuse" so popular in many spiritual movements and quickly jumps ship. From there, he dabbles in Scientology and Communism before dropping out completely and moving to California, where he continues his explorations into the soul and spirit of humanity while taking copious amounts of drugs and having sex with many, many people. It took me a little while to get into this book. It's written in a straight narrative style, with little in the way of the "show, don't tell" scenes and dialogue that are required of today's writers. But once the story got going, it became fascinating to me on a number of levels. Vassi's descriptions of his spiritual explorations were of particular interest to me as his front-line experience with various early cults show that little has changed in the last 40 years. Vassi's clear-eyed descriptions of his experiences as both student and teacher have useful insights to offer anyone interested in this topic. His discussion of his stint as a teacher of relaxation classes at Berkeley's experimental university is particularly fascinating in this regard; no sooner has he signed up to teach than Vassi found himself the object of all manner of mystical projections as people interpret his stoned behavior as somehow enlightened. His honest discussion of how he worked to both guide these people while also taking advantage of them offers a sage look at elements of the guru dynamic. The book also served as an intriguing window into a world that was mostly over before I was even aware of its existence. Vassi's depictions of the drugs he took while bouncing between hippie crash pads is colorful to say the least. In the midst of expanding his mind, he also expanded his sexuality, moving through various stages of denial and experimentation before finally accepting his own bisexuality. This is not a book for those easily offended by graphic sex or certain combinations of letters. But for those interested in a colorful and gritty report written from the front-lines of the experimental sixties, this book has a lot to offer.
