Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Nar Yayınları

Summary: "Watership Down" tells the story of a group of rabbits who decide to flee their home at the Sandleford Warren following the prophetic dreams of the young rabbit Fiver. In Fiver's visions he has seen their home destroyed and everyone of it's inhabitants killed by the tools and machinations of man. Thus, the group, led by Fiver's older brother Hazel, sets out to find a new and safer home far from Sandleford. The initial group consists of: Hazel (the unanimously chosen leader), Fiver (the timid prophet), Pipkin (a small and timid rabbit friend of Fiver, and hero worshipper of Hazel), Blackberry (the "brains" of the group who continuously comes up with plans to further aid the rabbits), Bigwig (the "muscle" and fighter of the group who was a member of the rabbit guard group at their old home), Dandelion (the group's storyteller and the fastest runner), Buckthorn (who although another strong rabbit is referred to as being sensible and staunch), Silver (the nephew of the former warren's leader, as well as a steady and reliable rabbit), along with Speedwell, Hawkbit and Acorn (three rabbits who are decent enough as long as they are not pushed to their limits). Setting out, the group encounters many trials which they are able to overcome through working together. Upon reaching what will become their new home at Watership Down, the group is reunited with Captain Holly and Bluebell, the two survivors of the Sandleford Warren's destruction. By joining up with the original rabbits they bring with them further support and strength in numbers. Realizing that the new warren will not survive unless some female (doe) rabbits are to be had, Hazel and some of the other rabbits venture to the farm down the road where there is a small group of rabbits who are kept in a cage on the farm. Hazel is able to secure the release of Cowslip and Strawberry only to be injured himself. Upon Hazel's return to Watership Down, he learns that the group of scouts he sent out to the Efrafa warren down the road has failed in their attempts to return with a group of does for the warren. It comes to be known that the Efrafan rabbits are led by the tyrant Woundwort and that he refuses to part with any of his group, despite the fact that the female rabbits outnumber the males to the point that many of the does are unable to carry their babies to term. What ensues is a mission to gather as many of the does as possible and escape the Efrafan warren; the success of the escape leads to an all out war between the Efrafa warren and the Watership Down warren of rabbits. Overall impression: Despite the fact that this is a book which consists solely around the lives of a group of rabbits, I found that I greatly enjoyed the book. I enjoyed the journey of the rabbits and their continued determination to find and make a better life for themselves by working together. I would definitely recommend this book for fans of other such animal tales as "The Secret of Nimh", as well as those who are looking for a longer book to share with their children.

Yuvasız Köpek Harry TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

One question before we start, "Anthracite?" Less than Zero is a meditation on the soul-less, physically obsessed world that was born in the 1980s. Yes, perhaps the pedulum has swung to and fro since the publication, but I find the relevance striking to today's pop-culture aesthetic. If Easton Ellis was writing this story today, which his website says he is working on a sequel!?! TECHNOLOGY would or will seperate the characters even more. The Internet is the most convenient place at this time to "Disappear here." One could deconstruct the novel in how we look at Web 2.0; people afraid to merge, full of amoral pornography, hollow identities easily maintained. Look at any comment list on mySpace.com, it would read exactly like any conversation in Less than Zero! Even the title comes from an Elvis Costello lyric where he also sings, "Let's talk about the future, now we've put the past away." Like Sarah mentioned at the book club, Easton Ellis doesn't blatantly show Clay making the last step into (I guess) "empathetic-human-mode." But somehow I would like to think that Clay has moved on, after he left. So matter-of-factly, he didn't disappear. I absolutely adored this book because it made me think, and that is possibly the best reason to like a book. It made me explore new avenues, and it made me realize that I also need to stop and smell the flowers once in a while.

Unutma Beni Apartmanı - Nermin Yıldırım TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Kitap

Uglies is a look into a dystopian society, where children, at age sixteen, are made "pretty", supposedly the highest aspiration for a child to become. Pretties get to spend all day being vacuous, uninteresting party boys and girls, drifting through life drinking, carousing, and doing nothing with their time. Sound appealing? Perhaps to a certain type of teenager it might, but it never would have appealed to me, even at the age this book is aimed. Tally is a thoroughly unpleasant protagonist, shallow at the beginning and wanting nothing more than to be a "pretty", not even enjoying the fact that as an ugly, she has her own faculties, freedom, and individualist looks. She is willing to betray a good friend all to become pretty (which shows just how strong her loyalty is) and therefore, follows her friend, who has fled Uglyville in order to escape the pretty operation. Tally fears being found out and, if anyone in Smokes had half a brain, perhaps it wouldn't have taken them almost the entire book to realize she was a spy. (And these are the people without the brain lesions, mind you...) In general, the characterization was flat and uninteresting, the characters not compelling or intriguing, and nothing within the book made me particularly care what happened as an outcome. It reminded me of a Stephenie Meyer book...except I prefer Stephenie Meyer to this, which should tell you something about the quality of the book. It is highly predictable- why else would "Special Circumstances" give her a tracking necklace if they didn't eventually plan to use it? How could they have depended on a sixteen year old to keep her word? Tally vacillates between her own selfish desires and realizing, suddenly, how much her selfishness could and does cost her. People died because she wanted to be pretty. She seems like she regrets her actions, but, like everything else in the book, her opinions seem superficial. Did she change? Perhaps. The end of the book suggests all her character development was for nothing, to become "pretty". Was it worth it? Only the brain lesions know for sure. While we're on the subject, although getting the operation seems like something you don't want to do, it also has some beneficial qualities. So why would you fight to prevent it if not everything about it is bad? It felt like things were very uneven in this book, without things being fully explained, and then we're left with a 'pretty' Tally, vacuous as she'd wanted to be.

Bir Tutam Gündüz Bir Tutam Gece - Kristin Hannah TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Pegasus Yayınları

And now the page before us blurs. An age is done. The book must close. We are abandoned to history. Raise high one more time the tattered standard of the Fallen. See through the drifting smoke to the dark stains upon the fabric. This is the blood of our lives, this is the payment of our deeds, all soon to be forgotten. We were never what people could be. We were only what we were. Remember us. Over the course of the last 11 years and 10 installments in Steven Erikson’s massive epic fantasy The Malazan Book of the Fallen, I have tried desperately to put my finger on what, precisely, it is about Steven’s work that gets my imagination firing on all cylinders in the awesome way that it does. There’s this deliciously substantive yet slippery quality to his writing that is hard to nail down within the meager bounds of the English language. It has intensity, emotion, intelligence and wit, but there’s more to it than that. Much more. The only word I have been able to conjure up with which to best describe it is “power”. Erikson’s writing has this raw, masculine, rugged, almost conversational, aspect to it that lends itself well to the inner monologues of the cast while also employing a certain beautiful poetic femininity with the words chosen by which he weaves these magnificent alien tapestries depicting glorious salvation in the face of savage brutality onto the very surface of the mind’s eye. But beneath all of that is a subtle undercurrent of something … something I can only describe simply as “power”. Whoever said words don’t have power has never read the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay and now, Steven Erikson. The ability to use the medium of words to inspire emotions within the psyche of a reader on the scale that Erikson accomplishes in The Malazan Book of the Fallen is something of a rare gift. But don’t take my word for it. Feast on some classic Erikson power for yourself in a passage pulled from the heart of The Crippled God: “I am the First Sword. I am the weapon of the godless, and upon the day I am unsheathed, dust shall take your every dream. Logros, you fool, did you think you and all the T’lan Imass were proof against your new god’s deadly kiss? Ask Kron. Ask Silverfox. Look upon me now, see how Olar Ethil seeks to wrest me away from Dassem’s curse – but she cannot. You gave him mastery over us, and these chains no bonecaster can shatter. “We march to our annihilation. The First Sword is torn in two, one half mortal and cruel in denial, the other half immortal and crueler still. Be glad Dassem has not found me. Be glad he seeks his own path, and that he will be far from the place where I shall stand. “And here is my secret. Heed this well. The weapon of the godless needs no hand to wield it. The weapon of the godless wields itself. It is without fear. It is empty of guilt and disdainful of retribution. It is all that and more, but one thing it is not: a liar. No slaying in the name of a higher power, no promises of redemption. It will not cloak brutality in the zeal that justifies, that absolves. “And this is why it is the most horrifying weapon of all.” Writing like that was never meant to be glossed over and ignored in the mindless pursuit of action. It is to be savored when discovered, read attentively when given the chance, and ultimately enjoyed to the fullest in its purest form over and over again. Now, with all of my unabashed Erikson sycophancy out of the way, I can get on with my review of The Crippled God. This tenth and final entry in The Malazan Book of the Fallen picks up directly following the events laid out in Dust of Dreams. It’s more of a continuation of that novel than it is a stand-alone volume within the epic. There is no prologue to set the stage or inspire mood. It simply begins with a few lines of verse and then aggressively thrusts you into the events of the conclusion of this massive epic (some three and a half million words all told - according to Erikson himself). Having said that, it should be obvious that a reader picking this book up having no prior experience with the previous books within this series will be utterly and completely lost. While many of the entries in The Malazan Book of the Fallen are somewhat self contained, this is ultimately a tale that must be read within its loosely structured order for it to offer the utmost in enjoyment and understanding. Throughout Erikson’s saga, the one thing he’s never been stingy with is big questions. His audience has been plagued with big questions ever since the prologue of Gardens of the Moon. And while Erikson has been generous with his answers throughout, he has always held back that little morsel – that one little piece - with which his readers could have tied the whole shooting match together. Well my friend, consider The Crippled God to be that one little piece. Does The Crippled God answer all of your questions? Definitely not. But it does answer those pesky big ones. And it answers them with substance and with style! **POSSIBLE SPOILER ALLERT** (Continue with caution) But forget the questions and their answers ... for now. Answers to big questions are to be expected from the final book in a ten volume epic. I know what you’re asking. What about the drama? What about the action? Oh my. It was everything I've come to love and cherish from good ol’ Steve! And more – much, much more. Onos T'oolan's shiver inducing soliloquy (quoted above) about his First Sword relationship with Dassem Ultor and his subsequent, cold, unemotional quest for righteous vengeance through the uncompromising application of undead ass-kickery as only the First Sword of the T'lan Imass can achieve? ...Awesome. Gruntle marching forward and unceremoniously bitch-punching Olar Ethil in her ugly puss as she was in mid-soletaken-veer, knocking her sorry ass to the sand and busting up her undead face in the process? ...Freaking...Awesome. Hoary Hood himself striding through an invoked warren tear and calmly eating the FREAKING FACE off Sister Equity and then turning to his stunned audience and muttering, "I have never much liked Forkrul Assail."? ...Freaking...Epically...Awesome. **END OF POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT** (unwary reading may continue without concern) And all of that was only in the first third of The Crippled God! The prose was everything I have come to expect from Erikson, the plot was tight and expertly executed in a truly mind boggling manner and the pacing, dialog and humor was truly top notch! Now, back to your big questions. Trust me, they're answered. They're all answered. Steven even answered some questions I didn't even know I was supposed to have been asking. And in doing so, he made me realize just how "big picture" this whole project has been from day one. If you're still plodding along through the heart of this series, never fear, your perseverance will be rewarded - and rewarded handsomely! And in the end, Steven expertly brings the whole kit-n-kaboodle full circle with a fantastic nod all the way back to Gardens of the Moon in the second Epilogue (that's right folks, two - count 'em, TWO - epilogues! Why? 'Cause one just could handle all the awesome...) which helps you wrap your mind around this amazing journey you have been taken on. I would give this novel many more than 5 stars were it at all possible … The Crippled God, when combined with Dust of Dreams, will go down, in my opinion, as one of the most epic endings to one of the most well written, fascinating and exhilarating series’ of fantasy literature written within my lifetime … maybe ever. Simply amazing Mr. Erikson. You have procured for yourself a genuine die-hard fan for life. Keep writing. Please, keep writing. I'm not sure what to do now that the ride has come to a stop ... well ... except to re-buckle my ass back in my seat and start all over again at the very beginning!
