Bu romandan yazma sanatı ve sanatı hakkında çok şey öğrendiğimi hissediyorum. Pek çok erdemleri arasında, "Kefaret" eğlence anlayışını asla kaybetmez. Meşhur çöl adası için on kitap seçmem gerekirse, bu listede olurdu.
Çok bükülmüş! Çok ürkütücü! Biraz endişeliydim, bazı içeriklerle kütüphanede genç bir yetişkin kitabı olarak etiketlendiğini düşünürdüm (diyelim ki, gerçekten onun balayından zevk aldım, genç çocuğumun okumasını istediğimden daha ayrıntılı olarak).
this was a great book, i enjoyed her style and how she used other stories to tell parts of her story. very powerful.
I hadn’t heard of Dianne Duvall to this point, but she is on my radar now. I’ll be anxiously awaiting her second book. And third. . . The romance between the hero and heroine is so intriguing I had to smile nearly the whole time. What I liked most was that it was more sweet than the usual romances. It didn’t center around constant sex, more of the relationship and trust building up to it. Don’t get me wrong, there are some sex scenes in this book, just to warn you, but the story doesn’t focus on just that, which is why I like it so much, I think. For me, I love to know about the relationship, how it’s destined to work out despite the odds. The first blush when they hold hands or the first kiss. I don’t need the rough and tumble bedroom scenes to show me the love. The history of the vampire and immortal in this story is presented with an intriguing twist. Dianne Duvall really hooked me with this book. I highly recommend it.
Libra is Don DeLillo's take on the Kennedy assassination, and the life of Lee Harvey Oswald. DeLillo recounts Oswald's (fictionalized) life story, focusing on significant life events that impact his tragic choices and mythical end. DeLillo is so gentle with Oswald--revealing him to be idealistic and well-intentioned, albeit seriously misguided and somewhat dim--that I developed a great deal of sympathy for him. A parallel plot involves the role of the CIA in recruiting and directing Oswald. This is interesting as a theory, but because stories of CIA intrigue aren't really my thing, those parts dragged for me. But, DeLillo is an amazing writer, one of the best, and his unique descriptive voice enlivens this legendary piece of American history. The pages describing the assassination are excruciatingly beautiful and haunting, and they stayed with me for days.
