Bu seri herkes için değil, ama zaman zaman siyasi sabun kutusunda biraz ağır olmasına rağmen, beni yüksek sesle güldürmeyi bırakmadığını söyleyeceğim.
Bunu Diğer Boleyn Kızı kadar sevmedim. Bunu Gregory'nin tudor dizisinde ikinci olarak gördüm ve okudum.
Bu, Faith Fairchild kitap serilerinde # 19 gibi bir şey. Muhtemelen hepsini okudum ve bu genel olarak en iyisiydi. Aslında beden yoktu, yaşlı bir kadının gördüğü ve hatırladığı gibi geçmişten gelen bir ölümle uğraştı. Ancak, geçmişte zaman geçirmesine rağmen, günümüzde zorbalığın, internetin finansal çöküşünün ve güvenliğinin hikayeyle iç içe geçmiş olduğu bu döneme ait bir kitaptı. Bu kitabı bir günde bitiremedim ve bitiremedim.
Eski dünyadan harika bir kaynak. Hiçbir şey orijinal metinlerden ve arkeolojik fotoğraflardan daha iyi olamaz.
an essential read for anybody who even remotely likes sci-fi. set many standards for cyber-punk literature that carry on to this day. hard to put down. very well-written. cool future technology. ancient mythology mixed in. fun!
(The Black Symbols) Jennie and her younger brother Magnus are sent on vacation to their grandmother in Jutland. Unfortunately it turns out that she really doesn't want their company. She's allergic to Jennie's cat, refuses to enter their room -- which just happened to be the room their grandfather died in -- plays the same tune on the violin over and over and over again, and spends most of the night muttering in the basement instead of actually sleeping in her bed. Magnus is soon convinced that she's a witch, and when Jennie one day catches her ritually sacrificing a mouse and discovers weird symbols over her bed that makes her forget things, she's not entirely sure she doesn't agree. I'm not usually a big fan of the whole horror genre, but I tend to make an exception with Nick Clausen, and thankfully his newest book completely lived up to my expectations. In style it most of all reminded me of the Witch Saga by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, which is definitely not a bad thing! I used to love those books when I was younger! I got a small giggle out of the reference to one of his other books - I always enjoy when authors use inside jokes like that in a manner discreet enough that people not in the know don't even realize that they're missing out on something. Like his other books, "De sorte symboler" has a somewhat open ending, although fortunately not quite as open as I at one point feared. As it was, it seemed much more in line with the atmosphere he attempted (successfully) to create.
This book draws very heavily on Lord of the Rings and other novels that set the standard for the fantasy genre. I did enjoy it. I just have to remind myself that I'm reading a childrens book and that I probably shouldn't judge it by any higher standards. I will say that I'm interested in seeing what Christopher Paolini comes out with when he's older. I have a feeling that he's one to keep an eye on.
