Aditya Kanade Kanade itibaren Harla, Bihar, Hindistan itibaren Harla, Bihar, Hindistan

Serinin ilk örneği Monstrumologist kadar iyi çizilmiş ya da zorlayıcı değil. Kitabın içine girmek için uzun bir zaman aldı - 2. yarı biraz aldı, ama çok gevşek sonu kaldı. Şiddet ve şiddet tanımları, ilk unvandan çok daha fazla hükümsüz hissetti. Çoğu 4-5 yıldız verdi beri görünüşte azınlıktayım; belki de okurken yaşadığım sinüs enfeksiyonu beni meşgul etmekten alıkoydu.

Bu Karen White'ın bir başka mükemmel kitabı. Montague Street Series ile en sevdiğim şey sanırım. Bugün bu kitabı yazamadım. Çok küçük bükülme ve dönüşler. Her birinin kendi hikayesi olan harika karakterler.

This book is dreadful. I was a big fan of Hatchet and Brian's Winter around the time I read this. Like The Other Side of the Mountain this book introduces a second character into the man vs. nature conflict and wrecks the dynamic. It falls short of the previous Hatchet books, I wouldn't bother reading it.

Okay this one is a little out there. However the intermix of historical facts (yes facts as I checked out a few and they were true...even to the point of finding some of the pictures) and the story line really makes for a good read. YES it is a little gruesome to say the least, after all we are hunting vampires, but I found the book excellent. Although the story is out in left field somewhere, by the end you are wondering if this really did happen. Give it five chapters or so and then it flow as your reading it. Hope you enjoy it.

There’s not a whole lot more I can say here that I haven’t already said in my review for Leviathan, the first in this trilogy by Mr. Westerfeld. Like its predecessor, Behemoth got me thinking a lot about the circumstances leading up to World War I, enough so that I did a lot of research while reading this novel to see how much of it followed the historical record. Considering that I’m not much of a history buff, that’s pretty impressive, at least to me. It makes me wonder, though, if people who are versed in history would get a lot out of the story. Knowing where things are going would remove a lot of the tension from the story, because while Westerfeld tells the story well by using interesting characters, knowing the general direction of the story might take a little bit away from the overall feel of the book. Of course, the book was written with young adults in mind, and Westerfeld admits in his afterword that he took some dramatic license with some of the facts, so maybe it was an attempt to get his audience more interested in the real history behind the story. Besides, if I’m an adult who doesn’t know the history that well, and sought it out while reading the novel, certainly there are a few others out there like me who would do the same. I still think this series is a slightly better read than the Uglies series was, if only because the historical context seems to make it a little more grounded and realistic, despite the futuristic steampunkiness of the books. I’m looking forward to reading the third book, if for no other reason than to get caught up on the historical details behind it.
