anlatmak zor çünkü hikaye çok rahatsız edici. ama kitabı sevdiğimi ya da hayatımı ya da böyle bir şeyi değiştirdiğini söyleyemem. bu kitabın size çok uzun bir süre bağlı kalacak bölümleri var!

hızlı okuma, tamam sanırım

Bu, günümüzde Kuzey Kore'deki yaşam hakkında inanılmaz bir kitaptı ve Güney Kore'de durumun bir parçasıydı. Baskıcı ve yoksun bırakılmış (neredeyse her şekilde hayal edilebilir) hayatta kalma konusuna rağmen, hikayenin insan öğesi bunu gerçek ve gerçek bir sayfa çevirici yapar. Yaklaşık 250 sayfa uzunluğunda, ancak kısa bir hafta sonu okudum ve bitirdiğimde üzgündüm, uzun ve keyifli bir romanı bitirdiğim gibi.

Note: I have tried not to include anything remotely spoilerish in this review (at least until Lilyanne gets to read it), but if you don't want to know a thing about Deathly Hallows, DO NOT continue. This was a bittersweet journey to take, because I knew that it would be my last first time reading a Harry Potter book. There's really something magical about reading a book for the first time. I will miss that. Nevertheless, J.K. Rowling did not disappoint me (except for one scene, you can email me if you want to discuss it). Deathly Hallows bears the markings of war, which Harry is in the thick of: intense action scenes, multiple deaths, etc. etc. I'm in the midst of re-reading because this is a complicated book. I want to get everything I can out of it! Taking a peek at the message boards for the book, I notice that many people on goodreads, like me, have compared this book to LOTR. There are many quite obvious similarities, as well as influences from a pretty wide variety of sources (mythology, Bible, etc.), which you'll see when/if you read DH. While DH isn't my favorite of the series (I like GoF and CoS), it comes close. If you've read HP1-6 (or at least 4-6), I wholeheartedly recommend DH (it's a little complicated to understand otherwise).

The second quarter lost me so much that I never made it to the third.

** spoiler alert ** another must read by this author. After the tragedy at Virgina Tech Abramson wrote this book. Riley is a Senior in college counting down the final days till graduation when a gunman come in her german class and starts shooting. She is one of 3 survivors and 24 victims. She was an engineering major and decides to take up criminal psyciatry in order to try to cope with why this happened. The navy seals are called in two years later to train against this same tragedy happening again. Riley heads this up and keeps her experience to herself. Tristan a navy seal team member breaks down the wall and gets tot he truth through working with her and the real event that they are trying to prevent occuring. Lifes are put in the balance again as evil tries to win. Love is in the air but jobs and lifestyles are being questioned. great book.

For some reason, I held off on reading this one for a while; I think the flap copy had me convinced there was going to be a major division between Holmes and Mary, for real this time, and I couldn't bear the thought of it. Happily, I overcame my fears and this turned out to be one of my favorite Mary Russell novels since A Monstrous Regiment of Women. The main plot threads took some time to get going and I didn't realize until nearly the end that it's a Big Freaking Cliffhanger, but I liked the focus on Holmes' past and Mary's interactions with Mycroft.
