İmkansız Aşk TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Hasan Öztoprak

I read this a few weeks after taking the bar exam because after studying for the bar I wanted to feel human again and I guess literature is as close to human as it gets for me. This book was so well-reviewed that I had high hopes. Fans of modern literature, you must! etc etc. No, I don't must. Anyway, kinda interesting plot, under a microscope nothing incredibly original, other than the true identity of the teach & Dad. Why couldn't she just work on the plot instead of drowning us with footnotes? What the critics called the markings of literary genius just felt like self-conscious ramblings. As in Yes I'm smart and well-read so I can write about teenagers but still make this a great work of art. Eh, I don't really buy it. Generally my approach to literature is what would Nick Hornby think? He would think the footnotes drag the book down. Or so I think he would think. And the title...don't get me started. Should have been something simple like Prep (also overrated but maybe I'm just jealous she's writing novels and I'm not). Instead, we have Special Topics on Something Long and Unrelated to the Content of the Novel. At least David Foster Wallace's footnotes and the number of words in his titles are inversely proportional. Ha! Special Topics in fractions! I am still looking for a book that is plot-driven, well-written and features characters you want to know more about. I just read Fight Club and the plot and writing were great (I read some review on here that criticized the repetition of certain phrases but I loved it, very conversational, we repeat ourselves right, very conversational), but the characters were plot twists, not characters. John Irving and Zadie Smith come close to my ideal. But hey, just because it looks different and has a weird name doesn't mean it's the next great thing in modern literature. Jeez.

Thoughtful discussion with just a little too science. Gave me an entirely new view of religion.

I'll do a more thorough review of this later, on my blog. However, having just finished the book, it occurs to me that through her relationship with food, readers witness Gabrielle's quest for acceptance and a sense of belonging.

Potansiyelinizi Arttırın: Korku ve Endişeyi Yenmek - Joseph Murphy TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Aura Kitapları

Book Info: Genre: Fiction Reading Level: Adult Disclosure: I won a free eBook copy of this book on LibraryThing, which I received in exchange for an honest review. Synopsis: This genre-bending tale tells the story of Hartley Finn, aka Beast, as he follows cult leaders Bo and Peep to the Last Stop, a hippie commune in the mountains of Montana where the Brothers and Sisters of the Cosmic I AM await the arrival of their Space Brothers. But no sooner does he arrive than the free-loving façade cracks and a schism occurs, leaving the Brothers and Sisters hopelessly split between Bo and Peep, and Chad Barker, jazz trumpeter extraordinaire and incorrigible junkie. To make matters worse, a psychopath is on the loose among them, methodically stalking and attacking the Brothers and Sisters. When Bo and Peep turn to Beast for help, he uses Magick and just plain old muscle to try and straighten things out before the Arrival. But is it enough to save the Last Stop and the Brothers and Sisters of the Cosmic I AM? My Thoughts: I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this thing - I mean, obviously the idea appealed to me or I wouldn’t have signed up for the giveaway, but would it be funny or serious? Realistic or fantastical? Honestly, it was a bit of everything. Bo and Peep were indeed based on those people: Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, who founded Heaven’s Gate. Only this was way back in the 1970s when they first got started. John Lennon and George Harrison are characters, although they are never explicitly named – only hinted at. Beast is not only fascinated with the Cosmic I AM, but also with Aleister Crowley, which is where he came up with his name. There are some really funny moments – dark humor, but funny all the same. Strangely, it made me nostalgic for the days of hippies and free love – although I was only born in 1970, I feel strangely drawn to that lifestyle. Maybe it’s a past-life thing, just like my fascination with Druids and the Wild West. There were some really quite serious moments, too – it was, all-in-all, a sort of comprehensive picture of what being sucked into a cult would be like, as well as the general sort of atmosphere of a commune. Technically it was fairly well-written; there were some editing issues, but they weren’t overwhelming. There were several instances in which Millie was called Lisa, which really confused me the first time it happened, until I figured out it was a typo. A final editing pass wouldn’t hurt things, but it isn’t too bad and most people should be able to overlook it. I quite liked the book, overall. If it sounds like something you would like, I’d say go for it.
