Son İyi Savaş-Bekir Bülend Özsoy TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Just a lovely book about growing up, the loss of the security of childhood, friendship and family. Elise lives with her Aunt and Uncle, an orphan at 3 when her father dies (her mother died in childbirth). She is surrounded by loving adults and a friend who loves her and who she loves with no bounds. All this changes when they start middle school, the transition from fifth grade to sixth, much rougher than anyone would think. Bullies, being ashamed of friends, not knowing who she wants to be, Elise hates going to school. Surely, everything will change when she turns 12. But the day after 11 feels just like the day before, with one change: the first of 8 keys appear that will open the eight locked doors in the barn that may help her become the person she is meant to be. I absolutely loved this book- the feeling of shame when Elise turns against her friend, the despair of meeting her nemesis every morning at their locker, the teasing and bullying no one else seems to see or hear- it all rings so true. Elise needs to find her way and the love of the people around her help to form the path she will travel. It's also funny and light in a number of places and adults reading it will remember all too well the joy of playing in leaves and chasing each other with swords made out of branches. Kids may find a character that will help them find options to the horrors encountered in a middle school hallway.

Şeytan’ın Fısıldadıkları TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Angora Kitapları

This novel offers a really interesting and innovative SF concept: in the future, every person is incorporated upon birth. Twenty percent of the shares go to the parents, five percent goes to the government, the rest can be sold by the owner for education, possessions and so on. You can buy and sell someone's shares as an investment, for charity, even as a hostile act. Reaching "self-majority" - owning the majority of your own shares - is similar to becoming independently wealthy in today's world. The entire future society is based on this basic economic concept. I thought it was a fantastic idea and was really excited about the novel. Unfortunately the brothers Kollin ruined this inventive idea with some really poor writing and plotting. It's a classic example of great concept, poor execution. At the start of the novel, the cryogenically frozen body of Justin Cord, a 21st century billionaire is found and revived. Justin becomes something completely unique: an unincorporated man. The early part of the novel describes Justin's exploration of the brand new world he finds himself in: new societal values, new economy, new morals, new technology. This is probably the best part of the novel. However, after this relatively entertaining start, the novel takes a turn for the worse. Part of the problem lies with the authors' writing skills. Dialogues veer from paragraph-long lectures to feeble and sometimes crude attempts at humor. Most characters are cardboard-thin. The plot has a childlike simplicity complete with forbidden love interest and evil mastermind. In addition, parts of the book read like a libertarian manifesto. Whether you subscribe to that ideology or not, its representation here is extreme and, frankly, crude - e.g. the word "taxes" is practically a curse, and you'll find things like "can you believe governments were allowed to manage currencies in the past?". I found it truly depressing that such a great concept could be so badly handled. To make matters even worse, the novel completely falls apart in the last 100 pages or so, throwing a huge new concept in the mix completely out of the blue and then leading to a resolution that wouldn't be out of place in a B movie or a comic book. I don't want to go into detail to avoid spoilers - all I can say is that I was literally shaking my head in astonishment. Before reading the end of the novel, I was ready to give this book two stars, simply because the concept of personal incorporation is so fresh and new. However, the conclusion is so botched that I have to rate this one star.
