Bu basım, kitabın arkasındaki kaynaklar ve eleştirel yorumlar hakkında büyük yorumlarda bulundu. Tek dezavantajı, Orta İngilizce'de (ki ben değilim) akıcı değilseniz, çevrilmiş kelimelerin oluşturulma şekli biraz sıkıcıdır. Kitabın kendisi çok yoğun ve inanılmaz derecede karmaşık, ancak her şeyi halledebilirseniz yine de ödüllendirici.
:)) مسابقه گذاشته بودیم ببینیم کی زودتر این کتابو تموم میکنه
I personally found the journals a bit tedious and I view the publishing of these as her son's vanity publishing. I am sure many people disagree with me on that, but I found nothing profound or moving about them, and instead found them rather boring or inexplicable. I much, much prefer the journals of Sylvia Plath or Dorothy Parker.
I've really enjoyed P.D. James's mystery writing, but this was all together different from anything I've read from her. The book explores themes about government and the erosion of society's moral/biological imperitives. Some scenes made me think back to images in V for Vendetta. I appreciated getting a glimpse into the internal conflict of the protagonist, but some of the plot turns seemed farcical and overly simplified when contrasted with the book's purpose.
This book was suggested to me so that I can try to better understand what a close friend of mine who is suffering from PTSD post war is going through. I thought that the book focused too much on flashback stories from the main character Dennis, and did not focus enough on the growing relationship and bond between Dennis and Andy, and the pain that they both shared as combat veterans. Although I see the importance of including details about Dennis' experience in combat, I think that the reader will get the picture much earlier on, and more emphasis should be put on the relationship between the characters. The book really didn't start to hit home with the message until about page 188, but it is worth a read if you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD during or after military service.
Found Magazine's collection of Polaroids. Fun, and almost no reading required!
an insightful unraveling of the rational mind after the sudden death of a loved one (her husband) and the impending death of another (her daughter). the year of magical thinking is the time of mourning, where events prior to death are overanalyzed and events after death are precarious. to write something as personal as this, i loved joan's journalistic approach of incorporating fact and research as well as memories as an attempt for her to regain some control (as well as some understanding) of the events beyond her control.
