Hayır Hayır Bana Ne? - Marie-Isabelle Callier TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Mavi Bulut Yayınları

It took some time for me to start the book. For one because I liked the way Bitten ended - even if it left me guessing and wanting. Another reason is that I was afraid that I'd start to dislike Clay. He is a great character and he truly loves Elena but when I read Stolen I hadn't yet read 'The Beginning' (prequel, about how Elena and Clay met and fell in love. And about what really happened when he bit her) and even now I feel ambivalent about that event and him. I also didn't want to read about bad things happening to the Pack, the deaths in the first installment where enough for my tastes. ;) When I finally started the book it took more time than expected to really get into it. It has a slower start than Bitten - which is throughout written in Elenas POV - and is, in my opinion, not as good. It still is a very good novel, though and has all the things I love about Urban Fantasy in it. Elena is a very strong character and the thing about her relationship with Clay is that he can make her feel so safe while still making her feel.. vulnerable at the same time. I wasn't bitten by my fiancée and still do push people away who make me feel like that out of panic and self-defence. With Elena's past - fosterhomes and lovers biting her, I can only imagine her not feeling so much differently sometimes. In the second installment of the Women of the Otherworld the Pack has to face a paranormal community. Witches, halfdemons, poltergeists, vampires - All true and something they all certainly haven't expected. Well, Jeremy might have, but let's face it, he's Jeremy. She only learns about them because an institution of crazy asses kidnap and experiment on (with?) supernatural beings. I liked the plot, the dialogues and all that stuff, but it felt like the publicist should have allowed Armstrong to write ~100 pages more or so. I know that the reader will meet Elena again in the 6th (?) book and that the story and the Stolen-plotline continues with Dime Store Magic, but it's then being written in Paige's POV. Stolen should have had an more proper ending (as in: Everything explained, a long romantic, cheesy conversation etc) Lately books need more and more awesomeness to 'please' me (which makes sense, considering how much I read these days) and Kelley Armstrong's books are very good, completely satisfying the Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance-junkie inside of me. Still I have to say that while there were several parts in this book I adored, other books of her have been better. She has the ability to give women power without making it unrealistic. She gives them responsibilities, abilities, flaws, allows them to grow up and become more stronger or sometimes even 'weaker'. Many books tend to be too static when it comes to the characters, but the Women of the Otherworld books don't have that problem. - The worldbuilding and characterdevelopment are fantastic and I highly recommend the series!

Murat Boz - Aşklarım Büyük Benden TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

I’m very open about that fact that I was bullied through the majority of my mandatory school years, starting from about second grade to when I was sixteen and moved away. I should also point out that I was 12 when Columbine happened and I did actually watch the news reports as it unfolded. Nothing ever occurred in my school, although I knew people who were suspended over suspected or confirmed hit lists, and that there were bomb threats. And while I’m not a violent person, I did get teased about making my own lists and eventually snapping one day. I’ve also had incidents were I was being tormented in front of teachers or administrators and either the blame would been placed on me or outright ignored. I bring all of that up because there’s a lot of people I know or heard that they did find comfort in reading Carrie. I’m one of them. It’s not say that everyone who reads this book is going to sit there and say “Yes, this is perfect! I should go kill everyone who’s ever teased!” But I will sit here and say that no, this is what happens when someone is pushed that far and they do snap. And while no one has telekinesis and can wreck that sort of destruction, there are many real life accounts of what happens when teenagers snap when they’ve been pushed too far. (I wanna stop and point out that in On Writing, King compares Carrie White to Columbine’s Keblod and Harris, which is something I disagree with, since most accounts point out that the shooters were disturbed and bullying wasn’t as big of a factor as initially believed. Carrie is someone who just snapped because of somebody’s incredibly cruel actions after a lifetime of being bullied, not only at school but by her mother as well.) Carrie White is the hero antagonist. You can’t help but feel sorry for her, to want her to step out and shine and be accepted for once. You want her to get out under her mother’s thumb and be happy. Her whole time spent at prom is so heartbreaking because—whether or not you want to believe Tommy Ross’s friends are being nice to her just because “Okay, well, if we have to” or if they’re actually discovering that “Hey, Carrie’s actually good people.” And then one girl who’s the epitome of what I define as a mean girl has to ruin it because she didn’t get her way. (You have no idea how glad I am I never ran into a Chris Hargensen in school.) And even in death, only a few people regard Carrie as a victim, notably Sue Snell. There’s a line in the various documents that compromise the book’s narration where one of the townspeople say “Well, what if there’s more people like her out there? Who’s going to save us?”, completely casting the blame on the idea of the ‘other.’ She’s not like us, so she’s dangerous. Which brings me to Sue Snell and Ms. Desjardin. Sue, I find extremely sympathetic because she realizes that she can’t be the bystander anymore and just let Carrie be tormented, even if they only do have one month in school together. It’s played up as Sue’s atonement for the entire book, but I liked that she and Tommy are willing to reach out to this broken girl and at least give her one good memory of high school. I ought to note that as I’ve been rereading all this Stephen King, I’ve been harping on the fact he can’t write young women well. This is an exception, and I attribute a lot of that to his wife for stepping in and helping him with the depiction. Teenage girls are nasty pieces of work; again, something I know too well. Ms. Desjardin is presumably on her own method of atonement, and I love the scene where she calls out all of the other girls for being horrible. I don’t like the fact that she thinks that Carrie deserves to be slapped around and just needs to improve herself. (Just a tangent, but I’ve seen a bit of Rage: Carrie 2—which is a horrible movie for the record…but I liked that they brought back Sue Snell as a high school guidance counselor. Presumably to fulfill the role Ms. Desjardin couldn’t.) But let’s not ignore the other major factor in what makes Carrie snap: her mother. There are two people in this novel that I just wanted to see get their comeuppance: Chris Hargensen and Margaret White. I mean, I do feel a little sorry for that her husband did rape her, but oh God. Margaret White is what happens when people snap, especially since we really don’t get concrete evidence of why she’s so extremist. There’s hints, but never any real confirmation. And just what she does to Carrie…I think the scene when Carrie insists that she’s going to go to prom is way more powerful than their confrontation at the end. Just because by the end, you know how it’s going to go and Carrie being able to stand up for herself for once, and especially toward the more dominant force in her life more notable. For me at least. I should also point out that the way the book is structured is kind of odd, alternating between various sources detailing Carrie’s life and the night of the ‘Black Prom’ and studies into psychic activity, with straight narration for the present actions. But it actually works for me, especially when you get the AP Wire of the school blowing up and people are scrambling to figure out what happened. My only real complaint about that is some of the timeline is really off—you find out when Carrie died first, and then it jumps back to her killing Chris or Sue running around or all the townspeople coming out to find out what the hell is going on. It’s not as bad on a reread, but for a first time reader, it would be confusing. To be very honest, I do feel a more personal connection with the book because of my own experiences. (Which I would argue that finding a personal connection makes a book better.) But that’s exactly what I like about it, and knowing that this is just an extreme example. There’s a quote I’ve heard about having a revenge fantasy such as Carrie being available does provide some catharsis for the people who have gone through that sort of thing. Not that it’s a good thing, but some times you do need the fantasy to prevent from enacting it in the reality.

Sherlock’un Kadınları TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Arkadya Yayınları

In this novel, Highsmith has mastered the art of creepiness. In New York, Tom Ripley is a small-time con artist. So small-time that he hasn't figured out how to cash the checks he has conned. He can't hold down a job, but has managed to get many jobs (and many very different jobs). He is currently mooching off a friend for a place to stay. Then one day he is approached in a bar. He thinks the cops have discovered his con--but it is the father of an acquaintance, who has been told to talk to Tom by another acquaintance. Mr Greenleaf proposes to Tom that he go to Italy and bring back his son Dickie, who is there painting and living off his trust fund. Mr Greenleaf wants him home to join the family business. Shocked at this bit of luck, Tom agrees, though he doesn't know Dickie well at all. He finds Dickie, and manages to get in his good graces. They spend Mr Greenleaf's money, they sail, they travel. Dickie's friend Marge does not like Tom one bit. Tom thinks Dickie has a great life--money and leisure. Then he realizes they are very similar in size, coloring, and general looks. And that is where Dickie is doomed. The rest of the novel is Tom on the run--not that he is really on the run, he is in plain sight, though he is either playing Dickie or being Tom. I found the best part of the book to be those parts narrating Tom's thoughts. His disgust with Dickie, or Marge, or others, while talking with them. His fear of detection. His thoughts of killing others and how easy it would be. His planning murders he doesn't carry out. His fears of being disliked, and his knowing when people actively dislike him. Basically, all of his imaginings are incredibly well done. And creepy. Tom is a creepy guy, and he is even more creepy because--other than Marge--no one seems to see it. And even Marge gives up on those thoughts.
