Can Dündar: Gölgedekiler (Dvd'Li)-Can Dündar TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

The end of the Alvin Maker series (I think; maybe another is planned?). The whole store got more and more Mormon as time went on, and it became obvious that Alvin was a fantasy world version of Joseph Smith (apparently even the name Alvin comes from Smith’s history; Alvin Smith was Joseph’s brother who died). That said, there are still a lot of interesting aspects to the book. Unfortunately this is the worst of the series. It starts after a number of years break from the last book, but it doesn’t bother to explain what happened in those years (I mean whatever happened between Verily and Harmony???). Even things that supposedly happened just a bit before the start of the book (like whatever happened with Abe on the boat) aren’t explained at all. So the reader is constantly confused about a lot of things. Also, a lot of the newer characters are completely flat, especially Abe Lincoln. Overall the series was entertaining, but this last book was a big disappointment, and the strong Mormon influence can be sort of disconcerting. It was also weird to have Alvin as some sort of Moses figure leading slaves into freedom. The whole use of American Indians as some sort of holy special people is trite and weird, and Card’s portrayal of them shows that he doesn’t really know that much at all. The idea that they couldn’t be true to their past and continue to live among white men is sort of strange, and the almost infantile portrayal of their culture is actually demeaning. Although it did lead me to read more about Indians, which is cool. And while supposedly advancing the ideal of racial equality, Card actually continually points out all of the difference between the races he describes, at least in this fantasy world where the races each have different powers.

Şipşak Hikâyeler 1 - Hayal Kurmak Yasak Mı? - Bernard Friot TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

I love this so much. Yes, it is a novel written in the form of an auction catalog. She did something so amazing here, and did it so exquisitely well. It might seem like a gimmick, but it is so well done, it's past gimmick and into art. In fact, I ordered this book for the library, because of an article I read in the NYT about it, and it sounded like something kind of new and interesting and clever. Then about a week later, I realized that some of the books from that order had arrived, but I hadn't seen this one yet, so I mentioned it to a non-fiction friend at work who told me that our cataloging friend had asked her if it was hers, as it looked so much like an odd non-fiction auction catalog. When non-fiction friend denied any knowledge of the book, cataloging friend was going to send it back as a mistake! Well, I ran to tech services and saved the book. Then about half an hour later I read it has been optioned to become a movie with Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt. It's material culture as all, it's the objects of life showing the feelings, it's the culmination of our consumer society that a love story, with tingles and kisses and tears can be told, perfectly, through a collection of toast racks and pajamas and that the debris of life can tell a story as haunting as a traditional narrative. Hats off to Leanne Shapton for this one. I loved it so much that I ordered my own copy, which I lent to a friend. Today she texted me and said "That may be my favorite book." I replied and said "Oh that is so great that you liked it!" She replied and said "I read it twice." That says it all, I think.

Eliften Yalnızlık - Adem Özbay TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Favorite Lines: “He touched you.” He pounded her into the mud again, punctuating his words with violence. “No one touches what’s mine!” (p. 38, egalley) Deceiving the Protector is book two in Dee Tenorio’s Resurrection series about shifters trying to survive in a world where humans know of their existence. I did not read the first book, Tempting the Enemy, and had no problems reading the story. I felt so bad for Lia through almost the entire story. That girl had it bad. From the madman intent on torturing her to the emotional loss that tagged her, I wanted just one thing good to happen to her. As she dreaded interactions, I dreaded them. I wanted her to clue Jensen in, but understood why she could not. Her secret keeping still made me grit my teeth because I wondered how many lives would be lost before she sought help. Jensen is a walking contradiction. He’s all calm on the outside but full of seriousness and turmoil inside. He is also a high-ranking member of his pack and a strong, determined man. He’s a great teacher and a patient man. I really liked him. He is a worthy mate for Lia. The killer is a sadistic monster. He isn’t a rapist, but he thrives on injuring others especially Lia. He exerts unconditional control over her until Jensen enters the picture. He is one scary sucka. I flashed to Ian Moore, aka I am no one guy on CSI Las Vegas. Scary and intimidating as hell. It wasn’t until the end of the book when characters from book one appeared that I began to wonder if I should have read the first book in the series. I knew who the characters were from the bits and pieces given in the story, but I didn’t know them like I would have had I read book one. I also took an immediate dislike for book one’s heroine, Jade. She came across as a total bitch. I think people who’ve read Tempting the Enemy might feel different. In the end, I got a kick out of Deceiving the Protector. I never knew when the killer was going to show his face and that suspense about killed me. It was delicious. I felt the interest between the main characters build while they traveled a dangerous road wondering if salvation lay at the end. It worked well. I look forward to reading more from Tenorio.
