Bu kitabı memleketim Vancouver, WA'da (hiçbir şekilde ödünç almak için) hiçbir yerde bulamadım, bu yüzden lisede internetten bir kerede bir bölüm yazdırarak okudum. Bir ders süresince beni eğlendirdi. Gerçekten bir klasik ve okumanızı tavsiye ederim.
The author is a whining publicity artist masquerading as a journalist. He clearly has no experience in investigative journalism and is more concerned with his absurd version of 'conventional wisdom' than truth or accuracy. The fact he got a second book shocks me completely.
I just loved this story I know that this is a book recommended for 9-12 year olds, I’m an adult, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this story. Not just from trying to appreciate it from a young person’s perspective, but simply as a reader. The author, Todd Fonseca, has a wonderful gift for storytelling and he obviously put a lot of love into crafting this tale and bringing his characters to life. They seem as real as any characters I’ve ever read. There are many touching moments; the author has a perfect grasp of the dynamics within a young family and the motivations and thoughts of a young boy pushing the boundaries to gain some independence and his desire to explore his new surroundings. The plot of The Time Cavern is very engaging and had me rapidly turning pages eager to get to the core of the mystery presented. The young protagonists stumble across the story of an Amish child who went missing a hundred years ago, and find clues that might relate to the missing boy. Some spooky and supernatural events lead them to a strange place that they cannot resist investigating. What unfolds is an enticing, exciting, slightly scary secret place that is at once highly advanced and possibly otherwordly. The Time Cavern is a wonderful adventure story that allows the reader to really feel for and identify with the characters. I can certainly remember what it was like to be that age, eager to explore, my mind rife with imagination. The mystery of The Time Cavern is clever, well-thought out, nicely researched in its details, and leaves me wanting more. I would love to read more of this story, so I hope a sequel will be forthcoming. Very well-written & highly recommended to readers of all ages! Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands
There's a lot I didn't know about Columbine. The media frenzy initially painted the killers as loners with no friends who had been bullied by jocks. It turns out that's just not true. Dylan even went to prom in a rented limo with a dozen people the weekend before the killing spree. Cullen paints a picture of two very different boys: Eric, a highly intelligent manipulator who dreamed about the end of the human race; and Dylan, a depressed kid who eventually used Eric's grand plan of blowing up the school and shooting those who fled as a way of committing suicide. Eric planned the events for a solid year. There were so many missed opportunities to prevent the tragic end. Experts seem to agree that Eric was a psychopath (in the technical sense - wikipedia link). Part of the problem with this personality type is that they're charismatic, they lie pathologically, and they're really good at hiding the truth. The book was worth reading, but I'd read it when you know you can finish it within a week or so. Using it as my a-few-pages-a-night-before-sleep book made my thoughts a little morbid for the month it took me to get through it. Now I'm reading something fun that's a lot lighter (Ready Player One by Ernest Cline) and my morning conversations are much more pleasant.
