Divan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Turgut Uyar

This is a difficult book to rate because at times it’s a 1 and then a 3 and I can even see how readers could give it a 5 star rating. It’s an inspirational romance that at times is quite heavy on the religious aspect in my opinion. If the idea of a kind of self-sacrifice to the extreme that doesn’t seem to benefit anyone apart from God (but even then that’s debatable) appeals to you, then you’ll probably like this book. I didn’t particularly enjoy it, but I could appreciate it. It’s not the greatest writing in the world. It’s very simple in style and reminded me of something like the Good News Bible where Biblical verse is written in a more modern, accessible way with a simplistic approach to what is otherwise complicated religious dogma when you really look at it. The relationship between the two frontier families is a bit too utopian but fits in with this striving-to-be- like-God ideal and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I think you have to like reading about that sort of “wholesomeness”. There’s a note from the publisher that says it’s a PG 13 novel and maybe for people who read inspirational romances it is but I didn’t think so. There was one very brief disgusting scene but given the situation and the period I thought that was misleading to brand it PG 13. There is virtually no physical intimacy in this book, apart from the odd kiss, and any sex is glossed over leaving you wondering if they had sex or not. The violence in the novel is treated the same way and I think it’s a disservice not to “show” the reader what the author is seeing. You get these one liners about horrific beatings, great sex on a very spiritual level but no detail. The author shows a lot about God but not enough about the h/h together as a married couple. Emotional, spiritual and physical intimacy make for better rounded characters I think and I felt short changed not to get all that. The book could probably be a good 4 ½ stars if this aspect of the writing had been developed. The hero and the heroine are very well-drawn. Michael is a true saint and if you took away his devout belief in God he’d make one of the best romance heroes around. He gets kicked in the teeth so many times but he still keeps coming back for more. He reminded me of poor Job at times. His self-sacrifice skirts the incredulous and I still can’t see what he got out of it during those years of waiting. His character’s endless patience reminds me of Sarah McCarty’s Asa in Promises Linger. As for Angel/Sarah, she is such an irritating/stupid woman. She has heaven in hand and she keeps throwing it away. Her life is a nightmare and it’s a wonder she never killed herself to get out of it, but I had a hard time understanding that after so much unconditional love from Michael that she felt too she ended up leaving him. It was difficult to believe all this love at first sight and God speaking to these people in mysterious ways. It’s the Old Testament mysterious mean God in this story at times who takes everything away and you get to live in emotional hell. Why I don’t know and that’s what I really didn’t like about this book from a romance perspective. Michael’s a good guy why keep testing him? Angel has been through hell and back why have her leave her haven incessantly? I guess you could say that they both had things to do first before they could be together but I think they really wasted some very valuable time that they could’ve been better spent together. The epilogue is quite moving and God finally decides to give something back apart from just his love which is supposed to be the true reason for living, but I didn’t really see what kind of happiness it brought these people because without each other they were horribly sad and lost. If you take the novel as a retelling of the Book Hosea(what little I know about it) it’s pretty good, but if you read it as a romance you may be disappointed. So two stars for romance, four for the retelling of the Book of Hosea for me. FYI: If devout believers who see God in everything as well as true faith being the only way to find happiness in life bother you, you may want to pass on this book.

I need to head to a church to repent for HIS sins! This book is degrading to women, disguistingly hysterical funny and I laughed through (most) of it.

OK, I just couldn't get into it. The heroine is mute for some reason that wasn't clear by the time I gave up. So the dialogue is all one way and seems silly. I got about 1/2 way through and probably won't go back to it.

Me costó empezármelo, pero luego le fue cogiendo el punto y la verdad es que me ha gustado bastante. Hay partes un poco pesadas sobre la guerra, que creo que podrían haberse hecho más amenas, pero aún así ha merecido la pena leerlo.

1000 Nokta İkonlar - Thomas Pavitte TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Domingo Yayınevi

i found this book to be like watching a train wreck. it was disturbing and yet i couldn't stop reading it. maybe because i missed this phase in my life, maybe because i probably worked with girls like this when i waitressed with all those 15 year olds who said "i can drink like a fish." but two things did bother me about this book on a whole. it was kinda pointless, especially the end. nothing seemed really resolved, "one day i gave up drinking." maybe because the rest of the book seemed so played up that i was waiting for the dramatic climax. it was hard for the author to be believe-able after reading all those pages of intense alcohol use for her to say, well, i wasn't an alcoholic so i could just stop whenever i wanted to. secondly i think there is a danger in generalizing her story to the entirety of american girlhood, the way the reviewers did. maybe we all are binge drinkers, maybe we all have used that liquid escape but have we all really? and i can't say that my reasons for drinking have matched the author's.

I liked it! That being said, there's definately shades (or exactly replicated elements) of harry potter and twilight here. I will, however, be reading the third and would suggest my 8th graders read it.

Just starting - I plan to read this with Skyler. Maybe afterward we'll take a trip to see the OMSI submarine. So I read it and was fascinated but Skyler lost interest pretty fast. We ended up getting it on tape from the library and the whole family listened to it while we were travelling. Jerem liked it.

Elixir Nanoweb Light 5 Telli Bas Gitar Teli (45-130) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Elixir

I read this book my freshman year in high school and it really changed the way I read. Up until then, if you had asked me what a book was about, I'd have told you about the plot and the characters. This book is a love story, I guess, but it's really about the differences between and/or the balancing of Lightness (floating through the world, letting good things and bad slide off while continuing to move) and Heaviness, or at least Weight (really stopping to experience the feeling of things, or at least of a thing). I know it sounds trite now, but it was my first discovery that people stretched their minds in such directions, that you could use your brainpower for more interesting stuff than spelling bees and math homework, that there was more to think about and talk about and read about than I had previously imagined. It was really life-changing. I've read one or two things of his since then, and was disappointed; I don't know if this was because I was older, or because the books just weren't as good- I'm guessing it was a combination of the two. I'd probably give this four stars if I just put it on my "read" shelf, but on the "teen" shelf it gets five.

Ocean’s Eleven ( DVD ) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

Longtime book man Lewis Buzbee presents this intimate and wide-ranging history of bookstores and bookselling. From his own experience working in Bay Area bookshops (Upstart Crow in San Jose and Printer's Inc in Palo Alto -- I miss it so!) to his stint as a publishers' sales rep and, now, a writer, Buzbee recounts his own adventures among the stacks in the heady days when Northern California was dotted with fine and thriving independent bookstores. Buzbee also delves into the history of book peddling. For someone like me, who still pines for her days working the sales floor at Kepler's Books, this book was nothing but joy. It's a must read for all current and former booksellers, but should be just as fascinating for people who love books and bookstores.
