Natasha M natasphere — Beautifully written. The first half inspired me. The second half warned me.

Jina Na regina9515 — "هدا گابلر" زنی ست رویایی از طبقه ی متوسط، همسر مردی مستبد و احمق. اگرچه هدا آرزوی خاصی ندارد، اما آرمانگراست. وقتی "لوو بورگ"، مردی که در دوران مدرسه عاشق همکلاسی هدا بوده، به عنوان نویسنده ی کتابی تازه، به شهر وارد می شود، هدا تصور می کند موقعیتی پیدا کرده تا به زندگی اش معنا بدهد. به زودی روشن می شود که لووبورگ الکلی بوده که ترک اعتیاد کرده اما شخصیتی متزلزل دارد و نمی تواند قهرمان آرمان های هدا باشد. هدا اما تصمیم می گیرد بازی را تا انتها ادامه دهد. پس هفت تیری به لووبورگ می دهد تا خود را از رنج این زندگی خلاص کند. نسخه ی دست نویس کتاب لووبورگ گم می شود و او به شکل مسخره ای خودکشی می کند (در شکم خود شلیک می کند). براک، قاضی شهر که عاشق هداست، هفت تیر را می شناسد و حاضر است بشرط آن که هدا با او باشد، مساله را آشکار نکند. هدا که در اصل به همخوابگی با لووبورگ نمی اندیشیده، از این که به تهدید براک تن بدهد، نفرت دارد. همین کافی ست تا زندگی خود را تمام شده تلقی کند. "هداگابلر" یکی از بهترین آثار ایبسن است. هدا گابلر را مینو مشیری به فارسی برگردانده. آثار نمایشی هنریک ایبسن مانند زندگی اش پر از فراز و نشیب اند. برخی منتقدان او را به راستی ستوده اند و برخی هرگز آثارش را نپسندیدند. ایبسن به معنایی که دکتر امیر حسین آریانپور در کتاب "ایبسن آشوب گرای" نوشته، چه در زندگی و چه در آثارش یک آنارشیست جلوه می کند. با وجودی که گفته اند از شکسپیر به این سو دوران تراژدی بسر آمده، برخی از منتقدان بر این اعتقاداند که ایبسن تنها نمایش نامه نویسی ست که برخی از آثارش مانند اشباح و هداگابلر به تراژدی به معنای ارسطویی و شکسپیری آن نزدیک است.

Daniel Scheibel dscheibel — Maybe better because I read it while in New Zealand, but I really enjoyed this. A bit crude and funny, this is a great story of native courage in the face of white imperialism, with a little New England flavor thrown in. Even better that it's based on a true story! NZ keeps getting better and better.

大头 健 _atoujian — "It's about time!" your all probably saying, am I right? I know, I have raved about this book, its about time I write my review. But the thing is, I don't know if I can do it justice or not. I mean I loved this book so much, I want to get across how great it was. I'm trying to hold back my Oh-My-Squee of joy here, I promise I will try my best not to go all fan girl on you! We follow Gabi as she gets thrown back in time to the fourteenth century. The author wastes no time in getting us to the interesting parts. That's right. She ends up right in the middle of a battle with her sister Lia no where to be found. Scary right? Does she break down? Uh, no. Gabi throughout the book even when she makes a few face-palming mistakes, always stuck up for herself and was a kick-butt herione! SHE ACTUALLY HAD A BRAIN! Gosh, I know it was amazing! I was like, "Yeah, go Gabs!" Her sister Lia was quite the character too, she is pretty tough! I wouldn't have the guts to do the things she did. Even though some things are hard to believe I didn't care because I was so absorbed in the story. Now those were the girls, how about these Italian hotties? Like a fellow reviewer said, that word is plural, people! Plural!! Meaning more than one hottie in the mix! I loved these guys (except for the bad ones of course), I mean can they get any more manly? Lisa really knows how to create em, plus they are so respectful of Gabi. Marcello and Luca captured my heart. Both are so swoon worthy, its incredible! This book definitely packs some great romance in there! For romance lovers like me, this is the book for you! The plot and setting no doubt reeled me in. I am a sucker for time travel, and to Italy? Yes, please! The historical elements were expertly done and not to mention engaging. I was so wrapped up in the story I had 14th century on my brain for days! This book is mentioned as Christian fiction but to tell you the truth it had only a few lines regarding God. The descriptions were so vivid, the characters so in depth, the romance so heart pounding, and the plot so engaging, how could I not love this book? I highly recommend this book to those who love romance, time travel, suspense, adventure and much more! I cannot wait to read Cascade! Lisa Bergren you rock!

Sumit Kumar sumitdesigner — Even though I usually read books first and then watch the movies, I took an exception here since I saw the movie quite awhile ago. I liked the book about the same as the movie - which is to say, a lot.

Patrick Jilbert patrickjilbert — "A perfect day for bananafish" and "Teddy" are my favorite stories from this book. I was going to review these stories separately but I really didn’t get a lot of them. I do love the way Salinger writes but there is something unsettling about his stories. He seems to like the interactions between adults and children. A lot of the stories in this book have a child and an adult interacting. It’s kind of weird, or is that just me who gets the creepy crawlies from that? A lot of people speculate about his propensity to include young girls in his stories saying he was attracted to them. That seems evidenced by who he chose to involve himself with at times, but an older man with a younger woman is nothing new. Some think perhaps he secluded himself because he didn’t want to be tempted by the young girls out in the world? Or he used his seclusion to carry on secret relationships with younger women? Others think he used the character of a young girl as a representation of all that is innocent and pure in direct relief to much darker and complexly disturbed characters. When you put his writing into the context of the time he wrote that seems to make more sense. Sexual predators were not on people’s radar as prominently as they are now. It’s easy for us to jump to conclusions in 2010 but he wrote in a post WWII era. He wrote of adolescence, to adolescents. Perhaps he was a creepy old man obsessed with youth, but he was undeniably one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Reading Salinger is not just an intellectual experience, but a physical one as well. His writing strikes you so hard you can feel it. I love that.
