Claudia Claudia _alaudija060f — I love the BDB!!!

Leah Short leahshort — Selections

Ashra Mcavinue ashramcavinue — I loved this book,,,it was a real story, kept me interested,,,thought it was interesting how he weaved magical with reality... just an old-fashioned 'good read'

李 莫愁 _e_er9 — It's sad when you can't even remember if you finished a book or not. Totally unremarkable and disappointing effort from Nick Hornby. I'll probably not pick up another one of his books again.

Lucy Morgan _ucy_organ — What a whiner... but I love him anyway. Jeff Brown's Clumsy is an intimate (and one-sided) look at a long distance relationship. It reads like every conversation with a lame boy you've ever had in your life. And yet, it is great. Read with Brown's mini-comic BE A MAN to help balance things out.

Deys 2013 deys — Did not finish; stopped at page 208. I could not get behind America who is suffering from an affliction called TSTL syndrome (too stupid to live.) Her choices seem robotic and awkward, her dialogue and self-deprication feel desperate and forced. None of the other characters rise to the occasion of acting realistically, either. Besides that, and a serious lack of world building, The Selection is to The Hunger Games as Carrier of the Mark is to Twilight. That is to say an apparent knock-off. Gavril and Caesar are the same personality to a T. I tried to finish this one, but not finishing a novel speaks loudly to its readability and I do not knock any reviewer who still presents their opinions without first finishing the book. Not finishing a book says to me, I-Didn't-Like-It. A well written review tells me why. *** I would also like to say what a huge fan of Kiera's vlogs I am and how surprised I was that this book lacked her exuberant personality.

Leah Malmos lamalmos8bf1 — ابله، یکی از شاهکارهای دوران طلایی ادبیات روسیه است. شخصیت اصلی رمان، نیکلایویچ میشکین، یکی از آخرین بازماندگان نجیب زاده های روسیه ی قدیم، شخصیتی ست که بصورت ضرب المثل ادبی درآمده؛ او مبتلا به صرع است، احساساتی ست، و ناتوان در تصمیم گیری و...، تردید میشکین در برگزیدن عشق اگلایا، دختر جوان ژنرال یپانخین؛ و آناستازیا فیلیپونا، زیبای عشوه گری که معشوقه ی دیگران است و میشکین را بازی می دهد، نمونه ی تمایل دوگانه ی مردان به شهرآشوبی زن در عین "عصمت" است. وجه دیگر مرد، ایولگین (گانیا)ست که از سویی شیفته ی آگلایاست، اما در مقابل دریافت پول، حاضر است با آناستازیا ازدواج کند تا او را از سر راه روگوژین بردارد. میشکین نمونه ی ساده دلی ست، بی تابانه فریفته ی ناستاسیاست، از رنج زن عذاب می کشد، در حالی که زن نسبت به او ترحم دارد. میراث میشکین پیوسته آب می رود، تصمیم می گیرد رقیب را قانع کند تا از سر راهش کنار رود، و چون در می یابد ناستاسیا توسط روگوژین به قتل رسیده، همراه رقیب، تمامی شب بر سر جنازه ی معشوقه عزاداری می کنند. میشکین دیوانه می شود، به آسایشگاه باز می گردد، و آگلایا با کنت ثروتمندی که مهاجری لهستانی ست، ازدواج می کند که معلوم می شود نه ثروتمند است، نه کنت، نه مهاجر سیاسی. ابله اولین بار توسط مشفق همدانی ترجمه شده که در 1333 توسط انتشارات صفی علیشاه منتشر شده است. در 1362 ترجمه ی دیگری از منوچهر بیگدلی توسط انتشارات ارسطو منتشر شده، که من آن را ندیده ام. از ترجمه ی مشفق همدانی هم سال ها گذشته و به یاد ندارم کیفیت آن چگونه بود. با وجودی که ابله کار نسبتن جالبی ست، نه به اندازه ی کارامازوف ها و جنایت و مکافات، اما در زبان فارسی مورد بی مهری قرار گرفته و کمتر کسی در باره ی این رمان صحبت کرده است.

Thanh Huong thanhhuongc3e9 — I wish there were 3 and a halves, this book was touching and scientifically interesting but a little discombobulated at times which if you read Irene's story is totally understandable. Hope to read the Alex Chronicles soon!

Eri Chian shanguitou — Changed my life... Great perspective and story of action for a cause

Rafal Ejchorszt ejchorszt — Amazing what-if story that pales in comparison to all others

Andy Ko andyko — I thought this was interesting...a neat foray into a man's psyche and the experience of psychotherapy. If you like this than I would also recommend Pilgrim by Timothy Findley,

Ariff Abd ariffhamid99 — aslan nafahmidam chetor in ketab jozve 100 ketabe bartare donia shode(hala ba har tabaghe bandi)!

Anna Hlebutina annahlebutina — Just like anything else in life, I think the more you need and invest yourself in this book, the more you'll get out of it. I thought it was an easy read (I love short chapters) and a likeable author. I have a hard time with non-fiction, bio pics, that stuff in general because you can't craft the story like you could with a work of fiction. I think this was an ok read but I didn't love it. Her story is no different from anyone else I know, her journey is no different, the landscapes and adventures are more often the rule rather than the exception now that I am also living abroad. So why should we care? I think we care because it is comforting to know that other people have gone through the same sh1t. It's inspiring, it's hopeful, and although lots of people are strong enough to dust themselves off and move on after a divorce, some can't. I wanted to know more about the locations she visited. I wanted to hear all about the food, the places she saw, the characters she came across. She did it a little but never too in depth with anything. We don't even know her ex-husband's name or what really went down in that marriage, and because those things are missing I feel disconnected with her story. It would help me understand the situation better. I get it though, what's missing is not what this book is about. I'm just saying I would have liked it better. The most interesting part of the book, for me, was Yudhi's (the Indonesian guitar player). I thought his story was amazing, and completely devastating getting torn from his wife and NYC post-9/11. If there are any stories about post 9/11 deportation, I wanna hear them. The book was honest. Casual. Like talking to a friend.
