Miles bir kurtarma görevine hapishaneye sızıyor. İlk yarıyı sevdim - Miles'ın gerçekten kendi başına gelmiş gibi görünüyordu - ve ikinci yarısında süper eh, itici güç olmadan bir araya gelen olaylar gibi hissettim. Birkaç gün önce okuduğum ve çoğunu unuttuğum dışında 4 yıldızlı bir okuma olduğunu düşünüyorum.

Mars olayı biraz yaşlanabilir. Dünya'da gerçekleşen garip hikayeleri seviyorum.

I picked up and read this book in a day. Very easy read for Austen fans: misconstrued motives, unconscious slights, engagements, broken hearts, etc. Memorable for the fact of its use of "glamour" as a feminine art form to be mastered by proper young ladies. Easy and enjoyable.

Well, Harry Potter is definitely all grown up in this book! I know this has been said about every book, but this is by far the most "adult" of the series. I devoured the book, and was fairly happy with the ending. I'm not too ashamed to say that I shed some tears with some of the deaths. There are still a number of questions that I think were left unanswered, but I actually like that - it's nice not to have everything all wrapped up neatly with a bow in the end. Great book, and I will be re-reading in a couple of months to catch all of the clues/tidbits I missed the first time.

A fitting tribute to a father and to a tough-as-nails ship “The Lady Gangster” is a quick and fascinating read. Del Staecker does an excellent job framing the story of his father’s service aboard an armed transport ship during the Second World War. Officially named the USS Fuller, the ship is better known by her apt nickname, “Lady Gangster,” a name christened by her crew, made up almost entirely of fellow Chicagoans. In addition to being an accounting of his father’s service, “Lady Gangster” is also a heartwarming story of a rapprochement between father and son. A long road trip and a broken radio result in hours of conversation and an outpouring of memories. For the first time, the young son listens to his father’s vivid and detailed recounting of his harrowing experiences serving with the Navy in the Pacific Theater. Through his writing, Staecker transports the reader from inside that car where he listens intently to his father’s story, to the various locations were his father served. Staecker intersperses his father’s reminiscences with just the right amount of family background, comments, clarifications and explanations of wartime history to keep the reader up-to-speed with the historical setting and maritime terminology. The book is well written and includes useful maps, which help orient the reader to the action and keep up with the unbelievably savage fighting and island-hopping through places with names like Guadalcanal, Tinian, “the Slot,” Saipan, and Okinawa. The book also includes several photographs that help personalize the story and make the action that much more realistic. With dignity and grace, Staecker pays homage to both his father’s unheralded service during the war and the equally unheralded service of a proud and effective ship, along with her officers and crew. Well done! John Cathcart - Author of Delta 7 - Reviewer and Webmaster for the Military Writers Society of America

Oh, hello, my life. Well, just the sisterly dynamics, not really the Shakespearean-professor father and family illness. No one can explain the enmity and camaraderie that can exist between sisters, particularly in a family of all girls, to anyone that hasn't experienced it. This book does quite a good job of it, getting into the various motivating factors of the three sisters. The ending is a bit pat, but not overly so.
