Devletin Gizli Sırları Heyet III - Halil Yaşar Kollu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Lopus Yayınları

My knee-jerk reaction to this book was one of great indignation. I didn’t want to believe that MY Pride and Prejudice, the crown jewel of my Jane Austen collection, could be sullied by zombies from some B-rated movie. Don’t get me wrong; I like zombies, but I LOVE Pride and Prejudice (except for the 2005 movie version, which was trash). It was only with the most perverse curiosity that I pushed aside my initial hesitations and went out and bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (PPZ). The premise of the story: England has been plagued with “Satan’s soldiers” (zombies) for the past 60 years or so. Meanwhile, in the countryside village of Longbourne, live the Bennets: a household of five fetching and fatal sisters trained in the ways of the “deadly arts” (umm, zombie killing). They live with their mother, whose life's goal is to marry them all off, and their father, who mostly isolates himself in order to stay sane among a house full of ladies. Elizabeth and Jane Bennet are the main focus of the story, with Elizabeth being the most charismatic of the bunch (and thus the protagonist). The lives of the Bennet sisters are forever changed with the arrival of three gentlemen: Mr. Bingley, Mr. Wickham, and (of course) Mr. Darcy. Oh yeah, and some of their friends are being eaten and are turning into zombies. Zombies. Long story short: The sisters and gentlemen listed above spend the entirety of the novel negotiating relationships with each other in spite of their pride in keeping up appearances and their prejudices resulting from first impressions. In PPZ, as with the original, it is the pith and cleverness in Elizabeth and Darcy’s verbal sparring that gets me every time. By now I have read Pride and Prejudice about twice, and I’ll admit that some of the book is pretty boring. But it was the subtle flirtation between Darcy and Elizabeth that got me to the end the book. True to form, their interactions kept me just as interested in PPZ as most of the dialogue remains the same in the rewrite. I felt the zombies were a fun addendum that livened up the in-between-and-boring sections when I was waiting for Darcy and Elizabeth to meet up again. Ultimately, I love that the heart of the story stayed the same. It is a tribute to Grahame-Smith that he could weave such a severe addition into the plot and still manage to keep the charm and essence of this classic intact. I must admit that he certainly left a masculine mark on the story with its innuendos (ball jokes ahoy) and gratuitous violence (not to mention the vomit). But in the end those balanced the book out since it was a little estrogen-heavy to begin with. Besides, every good zombie story should have some ninjas beheading the undead with their katanas, right? These changes didn’t sacrifice the integrity of the story… well, maybe “integrity” is the wrong word. But the characters stayed the same. By the end of the book, we love the good guys and we see that the foolish got what was coming to them. PPZ is to be read with a love of Victorian literature and a hefty (albeit morbid) sense of humor. If you have both of these, you really can’t lose here.

Yeryüzündeki En Büyük Gösteri - Richard Dawkins TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kuzey Yayınları

A cool, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life, and recalling with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasn't (yet) forgotten. "25 things people have a shocking capacity to be surprised by over and over again" will make you laugh, cry and think again. Brilliant.

Kayıp Kitap Avcıları Peter Pan’In İzinde TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Domingo Yayınevi

We're reading this book together as a small group, it also has a study guide that accompanies it. I think it's a good book for anyone who seeks to understand God in relation to their purpose in life, what it means to seek God's will, and what that actually looks like. God's will has four qualities: 1. It is absolute 2. It is immutable/unchangeable 3. It is unconditional 4. It is always in harmony with His plan & His nature.

Kevok ya da Özgürlük TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Ceylan Yayınları

This book was good. I have to say that Ted Dekker gets me everytime, even though sometimes there are lulls in his stories that are quite deadly hen it comes to thriller writing. In my favorite thriller books, I find that there are two stories/two things happening at once, and the stories/character perspective switch of every other chapter. This is a clever thing, because once you finish reading a cliffhanger at the end of a chapter, you want to keep on reading to find out whether the other character is going to fall off that cliff or not, but first you have to read about what this other character is doing meanwhile. This technique is both good and bad in different ways. It builds suspense, but it makes a weaker reader set the book down because they don't particularily care about what Jane is doing at the moment. A stronger reader plows through the chapter, and finds out that Jane is dangling off an even higher cliff than John is!(Oh, and if you haven't caught on yet, this is all hypothetical and is in no way related to the story BoneMan's Daughters.) So now you're back to John, who you were so worried about a chapter ago, and now you just want to get this chapter over with to see how Jane's doing. This is sometimes the case with a book, but other times it is not, and the whole book is just a whirlwind of events for a reader. That's the best part- having your emotions flung all over the place, not sure whether you're going to implode any second from all the suspense and excitement the book is causing for you. BoneMan's Daughters was both of these for me - sometimes so exciting I was holding my breath, and sometimes so boring I wanted to fling the book across the room and pick it up again a few days. I have been both the strong reader and the weak reader, sometimes setting the book aside and sometimes plowing through the chapters like a steam engine. That being said, now I need to find myself another book.

I really enjoy the way the author, Penny Warner, uses the Bay Area as her setting for the Party Planner mystery series. The characters are believable and likeable. This book is a fun read.

Interesting, drawing nice narratives and examples while still getting scientific. I'd recommend for anyone trying to figure out females at any point in their life cycle.

Honestly, it didn't really provide any decent or useful information, that I could have otherwise found on a website somewhere. I was hoping it would provide more detailed information about locales, but alas...

Yapay Zeka - Bernhard Nebel TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İnkılap Kitabevi

Listened to the Full Cast Audio Playaway. This was clearly one of the first generation Playaways that our library ordered - the sound quality really is different - this was my first opportunity to really notice that. As usual with a Full Cast production, I loved it. Previously read print copy in April 2007.

Kötü Kedi ve Bebek - Nick Bruel TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Epsilon Yayınları

A fantastic collection of moving and inspiring short works by one of the masters of Russian fiction. I loved this book and recommend it highly. The austerity of the text, its rigid and unrelenting strictness in its adherence to realisim and a 'no frills' style of writing (the details and descriptions are certainly sparse and spartan but certainly contribute much to the atmosphere, depicting a Russia straddling the line between aristocratic decadence and barbarous severity) can be off putting and admittedly a bit boring and a slog to get through. But Pushkin's stories always pay off wonderfully with nods to the unknown (Queen of Spades and its dark arts touches) and realistic portrayals of men and women in a certain time and certain place, yet like the greatest of writers, speaking to anyone, anywhere. It's a more than worthy journey to see yourself to the end of this great collection.
