O M G! I loved this book! I love Greek mythology, so I was really excited to read this. The book starts with Kate and her mom moving from NYC to a small town called Eden on the upper peninsula of Michigan. Kate's mom is dying, so she wants to go back to where she grew up before that happens. Kate starts at a new school in Eden for her senior year. She makes friends with James and Ava. Then, she meets Henry, and he does something impossible. He brings someone dead back to life. He asks Kate to stay with him at Eden Manor, and he'll keep her mother alive that long. While she's there, Kate will be given seven tests. Turns out Henry is also known as Hades, god of the Underworld. He has been looking for a new 'Persephone' since the original one decided to move on. Ruling the Underworld is too big of a job for just Henry. The other gods and goddesses have designed the seven tests to ensure that whoever passes them all will do a good job ruling by Henry's side. Every girl that has taken the tests before Kate has died. Kate is Henry's last chance before one of the other gods takes over his job. Taking some tests doesn't sound too hard, right? Well, a big reason why the other girls have failed (died) is because someone was sabotaging them, sometimes even going so far as to murder them. Unfortunately for Kate, no one has figured out who is responsible for some of the girls' failures. I loved Henry and Kate together. It was really sweet. I can't wait for the next book, Goddess Interrupted. Unfortunately, I have to wait till it comes out next year. Definitely plan to pre-order it though. Yay!

The Fatal Englishman is an unusual kind of biography. It traces the lives of three Englishmen - Christopher Wood, Richard Hillary and Jeremy Wolfenden - who shared no connection with one another other than their talent, their ambition, their arrogance, and their early and tragic deaths. Christopher 'Kit' Wood was a painter who moved in some up of the upper echelons of English and French bohemian society in the 1920s; Richard Hillary a fighter pilot in the RAF in the Battle of Britain, who wrote a book chronicling his short life and the horrific injuries which he received when his plane crashed; Jeremy Wolfenden was an outstandingly intelligent journalist, spy and alcoholic in the 1950s and 60s. Most people will never have heard of these three men before they read this book; I certainly hadn't. Their lives were brief, and their legacies not to the forefront of contemporary culture. Wood was a minor artist; Hillary left only one slim volume of memoirs; Wolfenden's work as a journalist was ephemeral and is now mostly lost. However, Faulks uses their lives as a subtle way of exploring the evolution of English society over the course of the twentieth century, from the birth of Wood in 1901 to the death of Wolfenden in 1965. Wood is an example of the attitudes of the English towards the continent, towards art and culture after the tragedy of the Great War; Hillary, the attitudes and the tragedies experienced and felt by the British during the Battle of Britain; Wolfenden, the intricacies and double-play of the Cold War, and the perilous position held by gay men before the legalisation of homosexuality. The writing throughout is excellent; and for the most part, Faulks resists the temptation of novelist-turned-biographer to embellish his work with fictional flourishes. The research is impeccable, and his knowledge of the periods in question is always displayed without showiness. For the most part, I agreed with his conclusions on the characters of those he was writing about, and about the periods in question (though I did have one or two little 'huh?' moments when he stated things like the fact that Kit Wood's mother didn't have to worry about him converting to Catholicism because he was attracted by the aesthetic, not the spiritual side; when really, that has seemed to me to be one of the primary motivations for Anglo-Catholic conversions in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. but that's another discussion entirely, I suppose). An excellent book, that fascinates and saddens with thoughts of what-might-have-been in equal measure.

Hareketli Tatil TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Se um simples vestido lhe desse a oportunidade de pedir um desejo, qual seria? Foi exactamente o que aconteceu a Olívia, a personagem principal deste livro. Uma rapariga de idade indefinida mas que se presume, durante a leitura, que seja uma adolescente, muda de casa com os seus pais após a morte da sua irmã gémea, Violet. Enfrenta várias provações, uma escola nova, a possibilidade de fazer amizades com novas pessoas, o afastamento entre os pais, mas, acima de tudo, a dificuldade de viver sem a presença da sua irmã, que gostava muito. Após morte de Violet, Olívia, que já era a gémea mais recatada, adopta uma postura de maior isolamento perante a vida. Mesmo que sem o saber directamente, Olívia deseja que a sua irmã volte para junto dela, e graças ao mágico vestido que tem no seu corpo, a sua maior vontade é concretizada. Agradou-me imenso o facto do livro falar em borboletas e ter até borboletas a terminar cada capítulo. Ao ler a sinopse, e talvez por causa da capa (muito bonita por sinal), idealizei uma personagem mais velha, o que não é o caso já que se trata de um livro de fantasia juvenil. A meu ver está escrito de forma bastante simples e acessível e como é um livro razoável a nível de tamanho, lê-se rapidamente. Apesar de ser um livro juvenil tem uma grande abertura tanto para jovens como adultos, pois acaba por ter um certo tipo de ensinamento, seja pelas ligações afectivas ou familiares que o livro transmite ou até mesmo pela lição de vida que o desejo em si provoca. É um livro engraçado mas não é daqueles livros que fica na memória ou que os consideramos um dos que mais gostamos.
