As with all books that I don't finish, I'm not entering a star rating. Still, I got through about 75% of it and I thought I'd say a few words about it, for it was both a revelation and a huge irritant. The Shock Doctrine is about the Chicago School economists, spearheaded for many years by the late Milton Friedman. He and those who share his philosophy have had a profound effect on the world economy, leveraging the power of the World Bank and IMF to dictate the actions and policies of governments around the globe. The basic concept of the shock doctrine is that in order to stimulate economic change in a nation -- namely, to move it toward capitalism, privatization and deregulation, it can take a crisis, a shock to the system, so to speak. That crisis can be a natural disaster or the product of human intervention. Over the years, human intervention has become a common choice, and for that reason, we see questionable wars, coups supported by shady organizations, and the arm-twisting conditions imposed by the IMF when governments are in desperate need of assistance. I wasn't aware of any of this, and Naomi Klein's research and clear explanations really opened my eyes. I'm both disgusted and alarmed by what I learned. I think that everyone should be aware of this recent arc of history, and Klein's book is a great way to get the idea. So, why the frustration? Why didn't I finish the book? In my opinion, Klein was in desperate need of a strong-willed editor when she wrote this. She undermines her own credibility, over and over, in a couple of ways: First of all, peoples' words and actions speak for themselves, but she sometimes insists on casting aspersions upon them: for instance, she first introduces Vladmir Putin by describing him as "vaguely sinister looking." True, not true, whatever, this subjective remark is designed to vilify someone whose actions already make him villainous. So, it comes off as silly and makes her read like a less reliable writer. Second, and worse, Klein tends to use isolated, one or two sentence quotes from various people, and then use them to draw conclusions about that person's motivation or perspective -- conclusions that absolutely can't be reached via the quote she selected. Now it could be that Klein meticulously researched the people in question and that her statements are all accurate. Nevertheless, if she chooses to quote someone briefly and without context, and to leap from that quote to a conclusion that it doesn't justify, well, it's sloppy and disappointing. One day perhaps, I will pick this back up and finish it, but by the time I got three-quarters of the way through, I could see very well where The Shock Doctrine was headed, and I was too annoyed to slog my way to the end. While I am glad I learned what I did, I wish that someone had handed Klein her manuscript back with a whole lot of red ink.

...so a critical piece of the plot is tied to my employer. Curiosity got the better of me.

Really enjoyed this! Love the ghostly characters, the way they were introduced with what was etched into their tombstones, but have to agree with what several people said that the motive for the original killing was a little weak. I didn't let stop my enjoyment of the book, however.

Üç Kız Kardeş - Anton Pavloviç Çehov TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları

I've enjoyed Anita Renfroe's humor and her "Mom sense" video on Youtube. Her wit and wisdom are terrific and her comedy is wholesome and motivational. This is a very good book for Mothers and Daughters, especially as they enter some of the more particularly difficult ages, or perhaps even more so afterward. There is a very heavy emphasis on Christianity in this book, however, which may turn off folks from other religions. Quotes I found interesting: "We cannot undo what has already been done, but if we ask God to forgive us and try to make things right, we can do better the next time." (p. 114) "You tell them that our lives can change with every breath we take." (p. 178)

Toza Sor - John Fante TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Parantez Yayınları

The third mystery in Alan Bradley's completely original and charming Flavia de Luce mysteries, lives up to the promise of the first two. Eleven year old Flavia, growing up in the dilapidated family home, is an amateur chemist who solves crimes by riding around the countryside on her trusty bike, Gladys, and generally poking her nose in other people's business. Terrific.

National Geographic Kids: Futbol Hakkında Her Şey - Omar Gonzalez TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

A poor man's Neverwhere. I'll admit that I stopped reading after 115 pages. I read several glowing reviews of this, saying it was going to rescue us in this, the time of no-more-harry-potter. And lookee! It has female protagonists! But no. A typical adventure/sci-fi premise: someone from our world gets transported to a different world and must save something/do a quest. a) It is, at least in the first 115 pages, entirely plot-driven. I know nothing about what separates the two main characters from one another--they're both young girls from London, and other than physical differences, they talk alike and seem to think alike. The other characters are defined for you; they do not have characters and backstory, they just are. Sometimes their "properties" and abilities are defined, but that's about it. The 115 pages I read were propelled entirely by one plot point after another. One of the great things about The Golden Compass series is that the characters are so rich and familiar--there is love and compassion and yearning--those are what drives the narrative. b) Sadly, I think this book suffers from "sci-fi syndrome". Given that I have no personalities to sink my teeth into, I need to be able to grab onto some part of this world. In many sci-fi books--and this is no exception--the author is so busy cleverly creating new creatures, new worlds, and new vocabularies, that they don't notice they've given readers a whole lot of homework. When a paragraph contains 5-6 made up words describing scenery, characters, or the quest, the reader (me) gets bogged down. I felt like I was slogging through a foreign language. Neil Gaimen's Neverwhere treads similar territory--London, but not--and does it in a much more character-driven, riveting, terrifying way. If you're looking for an un-London experience, go read that instead.

One of the things that I admire most in a writer is honestly and this book is full of it. Not that I think Bukowski's "autobiography" was entirely verbatim (I mean it is categorized as "a novel") but there is a brand of honesty in his voice that is reminiscent of Toni Morrison's unique starkness. I loved it.
