Yakari Toplu Albümü 1-Nurten Hatırnaz TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Bilge Kültür Sanat Yayınları

Everyone at some point in their life wishes to find something about their past whether it be a story or finding an ancestor they never knew about. Nevertheless our past shapes the way we make decisions and ultimately determines whom we are. Jonathan Safran Foer’s, Everything is Illuminated, tells the fascinating story of an American Jewish man named Jonathan who is on his way to search for the woman who supposedly saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Foer eloquently pastes together an imaginative journey, showing that the actual experiences and relationships formed during the search through ones past can be more enriching than the final and wished result. Jonathan’s first and main relationship with Alex, his Ukrainian translator blossoms through the retelling of their journeys and letters, forming a bond that is perhaps greater than the friendship Jonathan could have formed with Augustine, his grandfather’s savior. When Jonathan unravels the past with Alex he connects with Alex in a way that is almost brotherly. When Alex recounts the shocking story of his Grandfather’s relations with Jonathan’s deceased relatives he notes to Jonathan, “I must inform you, Jonathan, that I am a very sad person… Perhaps I am lucky” (Foer 227). This is not the only time that Alex shares a personal and emotional feeling with him, but it reveals that Alex and Jonathan have become so close to the point where they feel they can confide in each other and understand each other in a way that does not to be written. This makes the reader feel drawn into their relationship, almost as if along the way, they too have become friends with Jonathan and Alex. Jonathan forms a friendship with Alex, and even though it may not last, it is an indelible friendship full of pain and happiness that will influence his future. Another similar case is the story behind Jonathan and Alex’s grandfather, which creates a link that alters the entire journey and story, engaging the reader into the darker side of the seemingly comedic air of the book. I feel their relationship is more memorable than that of Jonathan’s meeting with the false Augustine and it certainly changes Jonathan’s perspective on the whole result of his discoveries. At the very end of the book, Alex’s grandfather writes a very poignant letter explaining to Jonathan that he will have committed suicide by the time he reads the letter. He writes, “Do you understand? I am complete with happiness, and it is what I must do, and I will do it. Do you understand me? I will walk…. And I will” (Foer 276) Alex’s grandfather’s means he is content with life and willing and ready to leave. He believes that without finding Augustine he has no motivation to live anymore, implying that he feels he has fulfilled his purpose on earth. This heartfelt moment makes the reader shocked, uncomfortable, and somber but it is real and it evokes feelings that others can relate to, even if it is just one moment of sadness or surprise that at first has little significance. I think this shows the deep connection, which the two have made, and how the experiences Jonathan has witnessed along the way have touched him in places he would not have expected. Foer’s portrayal of Jonathan’s discoveries is uniquely told in three different views. It supports the multitude of events occurring throughout the book that shape Jonathan’s reactions and relationships. These bonds are ultimately the true message in the book. Jonathan will always have the facts that his family was saved by a woman named Augustine, but his friendships along the way are more rich and vivid than the final result. Foer makes the journey come to life, taking the reader along with him, with his eccentric characters and lexicon that appeals to the senses, creating an underlying meaning that illuminates the true meaning of family and friends and the support that they bring.

Why has it taken me this long to read a book by Dave Eggers? If this one is anything to go by, his writing is crisp and his storytelling abilities so strong that I was sucked in from the very first page. In Dutch there's an expression for a book that you can't put down, and which you just breeze through because reading it is just that effortless: "it reads like a train." This book reads like a train. It's a bit of a genre-bender, because it's clearly a work of fact, but it reads much more like fiction than like journalism (which I appreciated). Eggers made me care about all the characters, especially Zeitoun, so much that when terrible things started happening to them, I became angrier than any book has made me in a long time. This book made me question what kind of country the United States has become, that these kinds of things can happen to such good people in a place that calls itself the land of the free and the home of the brave. And I'm sure that was the very point.

Finally got around to read this since I know Brandon Sanderson is finishing the series. I love big fat fantasy, and I have been waiting to read this for YEARS. I loved the prologue, but then once the real story began, the pace slowed down a lot. Rand, the protagonist, is initially a bit... annoying. But then, he is a teenage boy, and he behaves as might be expected. The influence of J.R.R.Tolkien is obvious in many of the characters and situations. Like Tolkien the worldbuilding is deep and thorough. The plot is melodramatic (I don't mean that negatively) with constant imminent menace, and clear, serious peril. Still, it was a little hard to get into. Around page 500 (!!!) I was at last really interested in the story. The book is deceptively long! I thought something had gone wrong with my reading speed, but then learned that the book is actually over 300k despite not having all that many pages. So I felt better. :) I look forward to the next installment.

Benek Tozu Ve Diğer Müthiş Sırlar - Roald Dahl TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Being a stay at home mom and feeling somewhat conflicted about it I was immediately drawn into the story. I felt an affinity for Sarah Pierce and could relate to her feelings of dissapointment, self-righteousness, and tendency to intellectualize her life instead of live it. In the beginning I was even surprised that a man had written the book. This started me reading some of Perotta's first book Joe College and in reading that first book I noticed his growth as a writer and it made me look forward to reading his next novel.

This is my favorite of the easy books in this series. I feel that after this they take a much darker turn and become much more young adult than kid books. This book really answers a lot of questions and introduces us to characters and concepts that become very important later on. It's also fun to have the ending within the ending. I like that many threads of this book come to fruition in the following books.

This is a wonderfully written story about the friendship between two writers--Ann Patchett and Lucy Grealy. The narrative is well-constructed, and the relationship between the two women is so compelling. Patchett does a wonderful job bringing the reader into her friendship.

If you asked me to name the worst of DWJ, this would be it. Boring and suffocating. It's a shame, because she's capable of so much better. This... I only got about thirty pages in because there's only so much character misery you can take. One of the rare cases in which I have not finished a book.

I had the audiobook version, which I don't see listed here. It was from the library, but it is a little unit like an iPod with only the one book loaded--you add your own headphones and it remembers where you are each time you turn it on. The main character is annoyingly helpless and prone to inaction at the beginning, although she has an interesting ability to relate to animals. She grows and changes through the book in mostly believable ways. I liked many of the relationships she developed and there was good suspense at times. I probably liked it the best of the Shannon Hale books I've read. It is a fleshed-out version of an old fairy tale and well done.

Şifa Rehberi-Kuantum İyileşme Kitabı-Ayhan Aydın TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yason Yayıncılık

Mercy Lavinia Warren Bump Stratton or ‘Vinnie’ to her friends and family was an actual woman in history standing a mere 32 inches tall. Prior to reading this novel I hadn’t heard Mrs. Tom Thumb. What a delight to learn about her rich history and character through Melanie Benjamin’s autobiographical novel. Wow does that seem like a conflict of terms. Vinnie had hoped to write an autobiography of her life, and had taken notes and written journals toward that goal. Her dream was not fulfilled and credit goes to Melanie Benjamin for bringing Vinnie’s story to light. As a ‘dwarf’ she had quite the difficult life just trying to see eye to eye with the world. She was a feisty gal though and by age 16 she was the school marm at the local school after having exceeded at her own schooling. Colonel Wood, a man with dollar signs in his eyes lures Vinnie away under the pretense of her performing and making a big name for herself, only to find herself working on a river boat with other ‘misfits’. The world was not kind and Vinnie soon found many reasons that she should have stayed home with her family and her one sister Minnie who was the same size as she. The Civil War ended Vinnie’s dreadful showcase and she was able to return home. Still discontent with the boringness of living in a small town she wrote to PT Barnum in the hopes of joining his troupe. She ended up meeting with him, and found in him a friend and confident as well as a true artist in his field. Through Mr. Barnum she met her future husband Charles Stratton, or Mr. Tom Thumb. Another miniature person their marriage appeared to be a match made in heaven, but was in appearance only. Never quite content with her fame, and her size it seemed Vinnie missed out on just living. This was an exciting story with great historical facts and descriptions. Melanie Benjamin brings an old icon into new light for a new generation. It has been fun to meet Vinnie and get to know her and her sister Minnie, one having fame and not fully living, the other to learning contentment and happiness. I loved the relationship dynamics and how Vinnie was able to interact with such an array of characters as she made her debut. The characters were vivid and real and it did indeed feel as if we were reading a true autobiography. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

So, I'm trying to decide if I'm still reading these because I want to see where it's going or if there's some sort of sublimnal crack written into them.
