Vay be, bunu iki gün içinde okudum. Nedense hikaye beni süpürdü ve ben yıkamadım. Kristin Hanna'nın kitabı her zaman olmasa da sık sık (hepsini okumadım) Washington eyaletinde gerçekleşir. Bunu yaşadığım için seviyorum ve tarif ettiği yerleri biliyorum. Kitaplarını daha rahat, benim için daha kişisel hale getiriyor. Bu hikayenin Jude veya Lexi hakkında daha fazla olup olmadığından emin değilim. Her ikisi de çok güçlü karakterler henüz mükemmel değil. İyi yazılmış bir hikaye.

Ben Twilight'ın büyük bir hayranıyım. Bu kitabı ilk okuduğumdan beri aşığım. Bence Alacakaranlık, Alacakaranlık Efsanesi'nin en iyi kitabı. Stephenie Meyer inanılmaz bir yazardır. Nasıl karakter yaratılacağını biliyor.

Birkaç yıl boyunca, üretken bir yazar olan Trappist bir keşiş olan Thomas Merton ile çok güçlü bir hayranlık uyandırdım. Merton'u nasıl bulduğumu hatırlayamıyorum, belki uzun zaman önce profesörüm ya da başka birinin kitabında bir referans, ama neredeyse on yıl önce onu okumaya başladığımdan beri, diğer tüm yazarlardan daha fazla, görme tarzımı etkiledi Dünya. En azından ahlaksız ya da etik dışı bulduğu şeylere - atom bombası gibi - cesurca konuşması anlamında bir pasifist ve politik aktivistti. Ayrıca, bir yazarın düşünmek ve yalnız kalmak için - “sessizlik ve yalnızlık” olarak adlandırdığı alana ihtiyaç duyduğuna yürekten inanıyordu. Yeni Tefekkür Tohumları'nda, Merton okuyucularına bir yaşam biçimi olarak tefekkür fikrini tanıtıyor. Hepimizi düşüncelerimize daha derinden dalmaya ve eylemimizden yavaşlamaya, bizi rahatsız eden şeyden uzaklaşmaya ve bize gerçek gerçeklik, gerçek yaratım ve gerçek yaşamı hatırlatan şeye açılmaya çağırıyor. Düşünce hakkında nasıl yazı yazacağınızı öğrenmek istediyseniz, bu kitap tam size göre. Daha da ötesi, nasıl yavaşlayacağınızı, nefesinizi nasıl yakalayacağınızı düşünmek istediyseniz ve bunu yaparak hayatınızı daha eksiksiz yaşarsanız, bu kitap ruhunuzu ve kalbinizi yakalayacaktır.

Chock full of sarcastic, nerdtastic Dresden action!

** spoiler alert ** Once again, James Dashner takes us into his rather sick mind to present us with, yes, more mindless slaughter of children. I am flummoxed that people can possibly give this book or the previous book, The Maze Runner, five star reviews. Mr. Dashner is NOT William Golding where we had a group of boys marooned and saw the savagery that they sank to. There, only one boy died and the other characters in the book and the majority of readers felt the death like a fist to the chest. Nothing like that with The Scorch Trials. Orson Scott Card wrote a book about children being trained and tested to fight alien invasion. There, also, we see a single boy die (accidentally, kind of) and it is dealt with as a major event that has to be covered up and kept quiet to keep it from affecting the other youths in training. Here, Mr. Dashner runs kids through a meat grinder while chuckling good-naturedly the whole while and thinking he is adding to the drama of the series. The main character, Thomas, manages to show what a bonehead he is as well. The most aggravating instance was where he was warned by Teresa that things were going to be dangerous and painful the next day. Thomas warns...nobody. For that reason alone the rest of the boys should have shanked Thomas as he just proved himself unreliable to the group. This is also lazy writing on the part of the writer. But then, as you have probably guessed, I am not extending much praise for Mr. Dashner. As a writer, Mr. Dashner makes use of way too many cliched situations and tropes. He then goes and does his best to desensitize the reader to the mindless child slaughter that he engages in with his writing. The only redeeming quality is that finally there seems to be a little emotional distress by at least a few of the characters. In honesty, though, how often do we see the response to mindless teen murder or traffic fatalities in real life? People, including boys, cry and have emotional distress. No such thing here and that makes all of the characters diminished in their character depth. I have not paid for either book in this trilogy. If I do decide to lower my standards yet again and read The Death Cure I do not plan on paying for that book, either. I also would never recommend this book to anyone, especially not children. I think Nabakov's Lolita would be much more wholesome for them to read.

This book was a good book because it told the true story about Anne Frank when she was hiding.

2008 London Review described it as about a main character who becomes partially deaf later in midlife. Lodge's earlier novels are described as ''campus novels'', about the politics and the sexuality of the young. Excellent describing what it's like to not hear what people are saying!! Marlene said she thought of me many times while reading the book, as he was describing things she had seen happen to me. Lodge [it's written in the first person] tends to talk a great deal, e.g. at parties to strangers, in order to cover up the fact that he can't make out what the other person is saying. Good on what poor hearing can do to a [marriage[ relationship. I could have done without the plot line of this American manipulative student who cons Lodge and some colleagues of his in the English Dept. I might not choose to read other books by Lodge. He writes well, and it reads easily, and some nice points are made, but it often seems quite superficial and stereotyped. Glad I read it though. Made me feel better to recognize lots of experiences I have myself as a hard-hearing person.
