Tess Of The D'Urbervilles kitap ücretsiz indir pdf

Jaime Segura jaimesegura — I liked this one, although I kept getting characters mixed up, but I couldn't help thinking about how Krauss is married to Jonathan Safran Foer and how their books had similar themes, and then I wondered about what it would be like for two writers to live together. Do they borrow ideas from each other? Are they secretive with what they are working on? Do they bounce ideas off each other? Do they borrow discarded ideas from one another? I couldn't stop thinking about this, and it kept me from enjoying the book. Weird, I know.

J Anais jylanaision — cute, and at times absolutely infuriating... just brings out the nasty in people once money becomes involved. but a quick, kinda happy go lucky book. i enjoyed it! she did a good job with the characters.

Ye Andy 2673003ba44 — This far into the series, it's kind of like a Sookie Stackhouse Situation - I'm going to trademark that! - with these books: in that we all know, pretty generally, what is going to happen in the book: Claire and her friends will face some impossible danger, Claire will uncover new and unsettling revelations about Morganville/her friends/the vampires/etc., and in the end, everything will work out with some teenage humor and group can-do. This might sound snide but it's really not completely: I truly enjoy these novels. I just enjoy them for what they are: brain candy. Just something fun and easy to read when looking for entertainment and hot broody teenage males (heellllooooo Shane!) This is a series that's long-running but hardly takes a lot of time to read through. While this fifth novel actually does manage to shakeup the Morganville formula a bit and is rather less predictable (thank you, Mr. Bishop/feudal warfare tactics of vampires), I found it to be a lot of flash and little action. This is certainly more of a plot-driven episode in the lives of our heroes than before. There is a frenetic, almost frenzied even, pace and feel to the novel - appropriate since technically Morganville is in the throes of a civil war during these events. More information about the city and vamps themselves are rolled out, such as Amelie's relative age (she causally mentions being around for the Great Fire - aka Rome in 64 AD!), and details about the alluring but dangerous vampire genius Myrnin. Furthermore, Myrnin, Sam, Michael and Amelie continue to be the only humane vampires in the town, especially with a rather rabid antagonist named Ysandre to pick up any slack that the villainous Mr. Bishop missed.

Jan Fleer janfleer1d02 — It's been years since I read this, but a friend recently added it to her 'to read' list and it popped up on my feed. I clicked on it to see if I'd written a review (I hadn't). Then I descried the reviews deriding the book for being misogynistic. All I can say in response is that it's sad that people will rate a book one star because a man (the hero in the tradition of Alan Quartermain, James Bond, Sam Spade and many other similar manly men who didn't tolerate a simpering fool of any sex) slaps a woman in it. This week a major Hollywood studio issued an apology for a promotional billboard with a woman (a female action hero) being choked by a male villain. Is there no appreciation for context? The hypersensitivity is madness. This book is escapist literature primarily for a male audience. The reader is no more likely to go and slap a woman, to knock some sense into her, than he is to go on a submarine adventure and walk away the owner of a rare automobile. But he is more than likely to have that fantasy, and what's wrong with it if he does? Not a thing. Is the modern man such a sad specimen that he can't deny himself the pleasure of lashing out at a daft bint when so inclined? If he is, it may be because modern authors are too politically correct to even include the act in a wish fulfillment novel of this sort. I'd like to slap some sense into the increasingly politically correct literary establishment (with all their completely ridiculous propaganda, promoting their flawed social agenda), starting with the rather lardy author who has the top review of this book. Like Sam Spade, in the Maltese Falcon, I'd tell him "when you're slapped, you'll take it and like it." Anyway, Dirk Pitt novels aren't great works of literature. They are fun, and I like them. Also, if you uptight morons want something to whine about, then read some George MacDonald Fraser (whose books I adore).

Marco Battaglia batmarc — Academic Sci-Fi - pretty good but frustrating because it isnt a complete book - there is no ending, you have to read the sequel to get the whole story, and the sequel just isnt as good.
