En Son Yürekler Ölür - Canan Tan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Kitap

Oddly enough, the Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer novels never quite garnered the same love as the rest of Twain's work for me -- odd, given that my family (on one side or another) has lived on 'the river' for four generations now (and how very much do I dislike living away from it!). Perhaps it's my general disdain for novels written in dialect, perhaps it's the tedious recounting of boyish antics (as if little girls don't get into just as much trouble), I'm not sure, but I was never as pulled in to these novels as I was to Twain's essays and other narrative accounts of river life.

Editör Yayınları 6. Sınıf Vip Tüm Dersler Konu Anlatımlı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

This fourth and final hard cover volume collects issues #32–40 of Gotham Central, DC's eminent comic about the Gotham City Police Department's Major Crime Unit (mostly dealing with the kinds of crime that inevitably tends to involve "the Bat"). This volume, like the last one, is dominated by Greg Rucka's writing, and it still certainly delivers (even though I would not have minded more Ed Brubaker material). It opens with a single-issue story, "Nature," written by Rucka and drawn by Steve Lieber. In some way, this may be the oddest GC story out of the forty issues, simply because its narrator (while a cop) is in no way connected to the MCU. Instead we get some insight into the other side of the coin, one of Gotham's finest examples of corruption, with some twists and turn to match. This is followed by the excellent four-parter "Dead Robin," written by Rucka and Brubaker, and drawn by Kano & Stefano Gaudiano. Here the MCU discovers the body of what appears to be Robin, i.e. Batman's sidekick. The heavily media covered investigation becomes a desperate race against the clock and it is all about establishing the facts: is it Robin? What does it mean if it is? What does it mean if it isn't? The collection's weakest part (and possibly the weakest part of the whole series) is the single-issue story "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by Rucka and Lieber. It is a tie-in to one of DC's mega events, Infinite Crisis, and while not a bad story, its attempt to match the perspective of people on the street with the über-cosmic stuff does not really work that well within the frame of the series itself. It simply becomes too over the top, and next to series successfully dealing with this (like Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' Marvels or Busiek and Brent Anderson's Astro City) it just feels as if it misses the mark somewhat. Infinite Crisis The volume (and the series) ends with the three-parter "Corrigan II" by Rucka, Kano and Gaudiano. This picks up the story about corrupt crime scene investigator Jim Corrigan that started in the previous volume (in the two-parter "Corrigan"). While "Dead Robin" is easily the main event of this volume, this is a very good finale to the series. All in all, I would have to say that the entire series – all four hard cover volumes – have been a delight to read, and I cannot recommend them enough.

Does a remarkable job of trying to show what happens in the head of an autistic boy who must piece together an unlikely mystery. Nancy Drew this ain't.

I felt this was a wonderful book, almost a five for me but lacking in a few regards. I saw numerous complaints about references to the internet as being inaccurate for the time, but the author explains that there was something called compuserve that he himself used. Regardless, I saw past these small inaccuracies to a beautiful yet tragic love story that spanned cultures and generations. It was a wonderful glimpse at the difficult tightrope that some have to walk as they struggle to define themselves as Americans, as well as a tragic reminder of some of the atrocities we as a country have committed

Awesome! One of my favorites- there is something deeply mythical and primeval about it.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Destek Yayınları

2 ½ stars for the first half - too much of a victim feel. 4 stars for last half - it was very good. I’m glad I read it. STORY BRIEF: Four years earlier, a victim escaped from serial killer Church and called the police. Bosch took the call. He feared the killer might have another victim so there was no time to get backup. Bosch went to the room, told Church to freeze, but Church did not comply. He moved to get something under a pillow so Bosch shot and killed him. Bosch then discovered Church was going for his toupee, not a gun. Church’s widow is now suing the city claiming Bosch killed an innocent man. Maybe a third of the book covers the trial. Details of the serial killer and his victims are told to the reader through trial testimony. Chandler is the very smart and competent attorney for Church’s widow. Bosch’s attorney Belk is less experienced and not very good. Belk is on the city payroll and Bosch had no choice in selecting Belk. As the book begins, a blonde dead woman is found buried in concrete. It was done the same way Church’s victims were killed, but this woman was killed after Church’s death. So Bosch is now trying to catch the copycat killer. This hurts Bosch’s defense in the trial because Chandler is claiming there was only one killer who is still alive and that Bosch killed an innocent man. REVIEWER’S OPINION: The first half of the book goes back and forth between the trial (telling about the past – not showing) and Bosch’s current investigation of the copycat killer. When I was halfway through the book I felt it was interesting but I wasn’t enjoying it. I didn’t enjoy watching the judge and Chandler being so negative against Bosch and trying to influence the jury erroneously and unfairly against Bosch. I was mad at things Chandler said about Bosch. He was a hero in my mind (the way he killed Church), yet Chandler made him sound like a rogue bad guy cop. However I may be reacting too strongly here by faulting the author for making me angry at the bad guys. Stories need bad guys to pit against the good guys, but I didn’t like the helpless victim feel. Then my reaction changed. The last half was really good. I loved the things Bosch did when he finally caught the copycat killer. Some readers don’t want to be able to guess who the bad guy is. For you I think this will satisfy because I sure didn’t guess. But I don’t mind if I can guess or not. I care more about being surprised by thinking and actions which is what this author does well. THE SERIES: There are at least 18 books in the Harry Bosch series. These are “police procedural” mystery solving. They are better than most other mysteries I’ve read. Too many authors just slowly unravel clues until all is shown at the end. – almost with a formulaic feeling that I don’t like. I’m much more emotionally engaged and pulled into these stories. This author is making me “like mysteries” more than I have in the past. One reason is that Bosch is so smart and his actions surprise me. For a list of my reviews of other Michael Connelly books see my review of The Black Box http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... NARRATOR: The narrator Dick Hill was very good. I had problems with the voice he used for women in earlier books, but his female voices in this book were fine. DATA: Unabridged audiobook length: 13 hrs and 57 mins. Narrator: Dick Hill. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: none. Number of sex scenes: three, told not shown. Setting: 1993 Los Angeles, California. Book Copyright: 1994. Genre: crime mystery. Ending: It’s a feel good ending. The good guys win.

Tali Tells The Truth - Berrin Göncü Işıkoğlu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Nesil Çocuk Yayınları

الحقيقة أن قراءة هذا الكتاب تثير الشجون, لسببين... أولاهما, أنه يؤكد معلومة دور العديد من المدنيين من كبار رجال الفكر و القانون في ترسيخ أقدام الحكم العسكري و تشجيع الضباط على إقامة دولتهم, و ضبط الأوضاع القانونية و الدستورية و تقييفها في هذا الإتجاه, حتى لو كانت نواياهم سليمة و أهدافهم نبيلة...و هذا ما يتضح جيداً من كلام الكاتب و تقييمه لدوره و ثانيهما, أنك لا تملك إلا أن تقارن بين رجال القانون وقتها, و بين الموجودين الآن..إن كان الموجودين الآن يمكن أن يوصفوا بأنهم رجال أصلاً فارق كبير بين رجال خرجوا من رحم الحركة الوطنية و كانت نفوسهم تضطرم بالثورة على الفساد و الاستبداد, فلما رأوا بارق أمل في حركة الجيش و إنقلابها على الملك الفاسد و الشعارات التي رفعتها, و قفوا مع هذه الحركة بكل جوارحهم و سخروا كل إمكانياتهم من أجل الثورة...كانت النوايا طيبة بغض النظر عن النتائج. و بالطبع لا يعني هذا أن كل رجال القانون وقتها كانوا مؤيدين للثورة أما الموجودين الآن, فقد سخر أغلبهم كل إمكانياته للقضاء على الثورة, و للحفاظ بأكبر كم ممكن من الإمتيازات التي يحظي بها, و التي تراكمت عبر عقود من الفساد و الإفساد التي تمخضت عن دولة يوليو...و من ضمنها إماتة الحياة السياسية و الوطنية في هذا البلد الكتاب مع هذا كان يحتاج لمزيد من التفصيل في العديد من النقاط...و لكي تكتمل الصورة يجب القراءة عن المستشار السنهوري, و كذلك وجهات نظر مختلفة من مذكرات أعضاء مجلس قيادة الثورة

Tablolarla Namaz Hikayeleri-Arif Ergun TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Nesil Yayınları

Didn't like it the first time through in the early 80's. Read it again, and see why I struggled. It's not a quick or easy read, but had some good and thought-provoking parts. I've picked up the 5th book now and will begin it soon, but frankly, if it drags as much as this one, I'll call it quits. I was so in love with the early ones that I find it hard to give up on these. The whole story probably encompasses a few weeks in time. The only real action happens in the first pages, and from then forward, it's a long series of conversations and personal interactions. Long... My fingers are crossed for an improved book 5...

1. Ve 2.Sınıf Meraklı Minik Dizisi Hikaye Seti (10 Kitap) İlkokul TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: 5.Renk Yayınları

This was my first book by Murakami and it sent me scurrying for anything else by the author. Since then, I've read three of his novels and he is fast becoming my favorite author. Others have told me that After Dark is not the one to start with but I think there is a lot to recommend it. The novel takes place between 12 midnight and six AM and is the series of conversations and events that connect several persons in this brief period. I believe the basic premise is that people become themselves during this time when most of society is sleeping. During the day we put on our masks but in the early hours of a new day we confront our real being. The main character is Mari, a 19 year old girl who is seen reading in a Denny's. She is soon joined by a jazz loving boy named Takahashi who knows Mari's sister Eri although it is never quite sure how well he knows her or how much he is fabricating. Eri herself is suffering from social withdrawal (In Japan this is known as Hikikomori) and has been in a long sleep. From this premise, begins a series of events that are wonderfully descriptive yet intentionally vague in meaning. The characters go on with their night time struggles while images from mirrors and television screens takes on their own life in a way reminiscent of a David Lynch film. Murakami sets up the reader as a dispassionate alien observer observing from afar. We cannot assist them but only observe even though as we yearn to help. This is definitely what I would call an Existential novel. Some readers may be put off by the lack of resolution. I would direct them to another Murakami novel such as Kafka By The Shore or The Wild Sheep Chase. However the readers who enjoy the art of writing and the psychological interactions of fictional characters who you can identify with, this would be a must-read.
