Kesinlikle tatmin edici. Bunun "evlendiler ve sonsuza dek mutlu yaşarlar" ın masal yönünün ötesine geçtiğini sevin - ana karakterler "ötesindeki yaşamın" sevincini ve zorluğunu deneyimlediğinden, derinleşen sevgi ve olgunluğu göreceksiniz.
Tüm kitaplar bu şekilde yazılmalıdır. (Zaten mantıklı mı?)
predictable. figured out what the story was about, and the plot twist, by the 2nd chapter. at least it's slightly better written than da vinci code.
Loved this book and Larry heard him speak and thought he was great. We want to get the kids version for Sam to read. Totally inspirational in terms of the power to transform ones life and the lives of others.
I didn't realize this was a comic book until I got it from the library. I read it in a few hours. I really enjoyed it. Depicts a boy questioning his faith, love and his ability to make friends. Not "preachy", not hypocritical, the author does a good job in portraying the life of a good guy who is trying to figure out how to be good.
Though I read this from a homeschooling perspective, this book should be read by parents, public school administrators, and teachers as well. This book basically focuses on how great men have learned...mostly through the studies of classics with a mentor and how that can be applied today to educate leaders. I would have given it five stars, but I felt that some of the material was redundant and some impractical. I also would have like to have seen more ideas for application, though that is what his book "Leadership Education: Phases of Learning" is supposed to do, which is why it is next on my reading list. This book, along with "The Well Trained Mind" by Susan Wise Bauer, which I am currently reading, are books I think every parent should read whether or not they are considering home education.
Riveting. I like Leslie's writing style and her knack for turning descriptive phrases. If she had stuck simply with the narrative of the events of 9-11... it would have been perfect. Unfortunately, there were various scriptures and flashbacks that seems a little disjointed with the rest of the narrative. And I love the scriptures and I love a good flashback... I just couldn't always follow how it fit in. Other than that... it was a very moving and engaging read. I've always been interested to hear survivor stories from that horrible day.
I want to cry. I just finished Riding Heartbreak Road by Kiernan Kelly: is a beautiful romance. Jake is a bull rider living in a small teaxn town who has always hide is homosexuality. Brent is a wealthy new yorker business man who never hide. From the very first encounter they fall in love, but love is not simple when others people thinks you are an abominious. But love is also a great alley for pass almost everything. While I was reading this book I had the sensation that sex was not the main aspect of this book. Sex is present, but not in first role. More important are the feelings of the two men, and also a tenderness present for all the book. It is also interesting when the same scene is tell to us first from Jake and then from Brent; Kiernan Kelly use this tecnique often during the book: I like it, I have the sensation to know better the whole meaning of the scene. But in end I have a question for Kiernan: why do you write that epilogue? You make me cry!!! http://www.amazon.com/dp/1934166251/?...
This wasn't a horrible book, but it wasn't exactly exciting. I didn't feel much of a connection to any of the characters.
The prolific Patterson channels Perils of Pauline with a Hitchcock female in a John Grisham adventure. Fans of James Patterson will read this novel in one sitting. Nina Bloom/Jeanine proves more resourceful and less helpless than Pauline as she moves through a plot that has more turns than the steep, twisty slopes Pike's Peak. Wonder if Charles Baylor and Nina Bloom’s relationship will spark a sequel from Patterson and Ledwidge.
