Gullıver’In Seyahatleri (Cep)-Jonathan Swift TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Şule Yayınları

Перечитала. Ещё раз убедилась в том, что главное в жизни - осмысленность. Литературные и смысловые достоинства обсуждать смысла нет, типичная такая приятная максофраевщина. "Мирра не похожа на человека, который хорошо себя ведёт. Она просто делает что хочет. А чего не хочет — не делает. Не сомневаюсь, она бы с превеликим удовольствием предалась всевозможным порокам, но вышло так, что ей это не нравится. Неинтересно".

Rated 1 star for fear-mongering, conspiracy theorizing, repetitiveness, naivete, and disturbing authoritarian overtones. This was a terrible book, a book which is little more than an extended rant where the author regurgitates the same set of ideas over and over again. While the presentation of the ideas is bad, the content of these ideas is far worse. Nevertheless, this book provides a valuable little window into the mind of Ken Ham, one of the leaders of the "Creation Science" movement... a scary little window. After reading the kind of arguments made in this book, it would seem that Ham is a deeply credulous and inconsistent thinker. When it comes to any scientific hypothesis (what fundamentalists like to call "a theory of men") where there is room for any doubt and uncertainty (which is the case with many if not most scientific theories), Ham approaches it with a fierce, radical, and uncompromising skepticism. Any room for doubt and that theory must be thrown right out! Yet, at the same time, this almost Hume-like skeptic in regards to all matters scientific and philosophical clings to an inflexible and laughably simplistic understanding of his own Christian religion and it's Bible. His is a belief that takes no cultural, historical, or interpretive issues into account when trying to understand and evaluate the Bible or his own Christian dogmas. The bumper sticker, "God said it. I believe it. That settles it," was created for people like him. The Lie has it's share of other random and bizarre ideas. According to Ham, people only wear clothes because it is a practice mandated in the biblical book of Genesis. Ham goes on to claim that that if one were to invalidate the Book of Genesis as a record of literal history and fact, the practice of wearing clothes would thereby be called into question which could lead to some sort of anarchy of nakedness. (Presumably the ancient natives of Asia, the Americas, Australia, etc. who all developed their own customs of clothing themselves had a copy of the Bible?) For some reason Ham also makes the claim that all fathers are biblically appointed to be the priests of their families. Make of that whatever you will. (Dad's duty to offer up sacrificial animals on the grill?) Taken as a whole The Lie fails to make a coherent, logical argument. The book opens with a rambling tirade on the growing evils of society where the author would have us believe that all of these growing evils stem from a single cause - the scientific theory of evolution, the supposed root of all evil. Following this is more rambling on about how true Christianity and the Bible are. This is a given we are supposed to take for granted without any proof. Around and around we are led in the same loops of absurd illogic. There is a term for people who reason and argue like this - cranks. (Cranks always want to oversimplify reality to a singular evil that threatens society which can be defeated with a silver-bullet solution. For prohibitionists booze was the singular evil destroying society, for Scientologists psychology is the one, true evil, for the Cold Warriors, it was Communism, etc., etc.) The Lie makes it clear that Ken Ham is one of those black-and-white thinkers with no room in his brain for either ambiguity or nuance. Conservative, right wing, authoritarian types like him reduce everything to a simplistic morality tale of Good and Evil. Ham's mind is made up, and he and his like-minded compatriots will not abide any other members of society deviating from their own narrow-minded ideas of proper belief, thought, and behavior. What makes this all the more clear are Ham's favorite words (or the variant forms thereof) popping-up frequently throughout this text: "lawlessness", "right and wrong", "dogmatic", and "authority". The single word (and it's variants) which Ham uses most frequently is "absolutes". (Out of curiosity, I went back and counted it as having been used 24 times throughout this short text.) Given his deeply conservative, authoritarian outlook, it's not surprising that Ken Ham's religion is one of rigid discipline and law. He pictures God first and foremost as being the Absolute Authority - God the Divine Cop. What distresses Ham is that the world is no longer the squeaky clean, never-never land he imagines it once was back in those glorious, moral days of yore that never were. In order to save the world from itself, Ham believes he must sally forth and lead a crusade against, in his own words, "the Satanically backed religion of evolution." Make no mistake, the "Creation Science" and "Intelligent Design" movements are the groups with the truly evil agendas no matter how innocent they might try to pass themselves off as being. To paraphrase Ham's stated views in this book, Creation Scientists view themselves as Christian soliders fighting to take back control of society in the name of Absolute Authority. "The Lie" isn't evolution, it's all of Ham and company's talk about bringing balance and fairness to science classrooms. The real goal these people (or at least their leaders) have is to take over the public schools, the courts, the government, and any other seats of power in order to foist their fundamentalist brand of right wing Christianity on to us all. As individuals, members of the Creation Science movement can be nice, well-meaning people, but as a collective, their ideas and goals, insofar as they follow what Ham has outlined in The Lie, are on par with that of the Taliban.

Yet another book that falls into the 'neither good nor bad' category. Maybe I'll make a shelf for that. Anyway, the Liar Society had a lot of things going for it, and yet also felt somewhat lacking. Don't get me wrong; it's far from a bad book, but it just didn't feel fully... rounded. Not underdeveloped. The characters all seemed very well set up, and consistant. The narrator, Kate, was very believeable in her position of mourning her best friend without getting pouty and/or emo and depressed (or depressing), which is something not a lot of authors actually bother to do. The death is either a plot device, like in the case of So Shelly, or they spend the entire time moping and become entirely loathesome (as in the case of New Moon, even though Edward wasn't dead. Well, in the traditional sense of the word, anyway). But at the same time... I didn't really feel sympathetic towards any of them. I don't know why, but it was difficult to really get attached to them, or start liking them. Or disliking them. It's like there's a space between describing a person and bringing them to life, and the authors here couldn't figure out a way to get to the lifelike part. I don't know if that makes any sense, or if anyone else felt that besides me, but there you go. That's my opinion. Also, the premise was similar to that... it had it everything, but somehow missed being exciting. Judy Blundell wrote a book called Strings Attached that I felt was similar in that sense of 'has everything, but is somehow lacking'. It was a sort of murder mystery, and had enough twists and turns that it should have been exciting, and yet somehow fell flat. Maybe what was missing was sparkle. Leave it to me to point out something's non-shining-ness. But somehow, this book lacked, like... distinctive flair. I don't know. I feel like, considering the cover (which I kinda like) it should have been funny somehow, but it wasn't really too amusing. It also didn't have that 'Jaws-theme' feel that proper murder mysteries should have. Then again, maybe that's just me. So, overall, this was a very decent book (I feel like I've said that before... probably because I have). If you think it looks good, then read it. There is nothing I would say to encourage or discourage you from doing so.

Bela 2 Vahşi - Sally Green TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

I really wanted to like this more, but it rubbed me the wrong way, I assume because I'm becoming one of those humorless librarians that Nancy Pearl talks about. Marketing pushes this book in the Harry Potter direction with the bespectacled "magical" kid on the cover, but the prose is more in the Lemony Snicket metatextual tradition - rather annoyingly so in some cases. Too much of the book is taken up with the author's asides, there's just not enough actual story, and it isn't done as gracefully as in the Series of Unfortunate Events books. I was also disappointed with the book's weird hatred of librarians - even if it is obviously tongue-in-cheek, there is a disdain for the profession and for literature that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Librarians never withhold or otherwise censor information, and, as with Summer Reading is Killing Me, I really don't like denigrating any book in the name of "reading". I do agree with the author in the case of the Newbery awards. So much death.

A Separate Peace follows Gene through his final year at boarding school as World War II wages in the background. Gene's story presents a compelling parallel to the harsh realities of war, though it is set entirely apart from the war. The motivation that leads Gene to commit an act that culminates in a final, heart-wrenching loss illuminates the misunderstanding and misplaced hatred that leads men to war. The book affected me more than I expected. Its honesty made me uncomfortable, yet compelled me to read more. The tears came quick at the end and I felt for these characters more than I realized before that moment.

A classic work on the environmental movement and its struggles with real estate development. Anything by McPhee is worth reading, and this is one of his best works.

Even though I have heard great things about his Fablehaven series, this is my first book by Brandon Mull so I was not sure what to expect. The story starts out a bit slow and I was tempted to stop reading, but it picks up fantastically in the middle and continues that fast pace until the end. I am so happy I gave it a chance. This is a fun, action packed adventure that would appeal to both boys and girls and especially to reluctant readers. Both Jason and Rachel’s characters are well developed, smart, brave and resourceful. The secondary characters are equally well developed and so very interesting. Mull’s world building in amazing! As I read the book, I could really picture Lyrian. There are several fight scenes, some with fatalities, so if you have a younger reader, you may want to be aware of this. While there is fighting and violence, the book is not gory. Even though I am recommending this book to a tween and teen audience, I am an adult and I loved it! The story does ends with a cliffhanger, and I am eagerly looking forward to the sequel coming out next year. Quick comment about the cover. I received the book as an electronic ARC so could not fully appreciate the cool holographic cover until I saw it in Barnes and Noble this weekend. It adds so much to the magic of the story!
