İyi bir macera kitabı okumak istediğime karar verdim. Bu yüzden bunu yeni Kindle'ımda ücretsiz olarak aldım (tüm klasiklerin belki olduğunu mu düşünüyorum?) Ve okumaya başladım. Korsanlara girmek hızlı bir okuma ve eğlencelidir, korsan konuşmasını anlamak benim için biraz zor olsa da, genel olarak hoşuma gitti.
I loved the first two books in this series. The teaser for this book made me BAWL. I could hardly wait to get my hands on a copy of Voyager. It was the biggest disappointment EVER. The absurdity of the plot suddenly crossed the line from whimsical fantasy to just plain stupid. In the first two books, the lovable characters and romance held together the story so well that I didn't care how silly the premise was. But the relationship seems to grow stale in the later books, like some kind of TV sitcom plot. They fight the same fights and love the same things about each other and never seem to mature or develop as people. Bo-ring. Worst of all, the whole evil/gay/anal rape thing started to get majorly disturbing. From here on out, the series reads like some kind of anti-gay propaganda. All major villains are gay, and all gays are dastardly ass rapists. Why?? Now I am forced to look back at my beloved Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber and wonder... was this all a lead-up to some kind of moral about the evils of sodomy? How un-romantic.
Very detailed and slow in the beginning, the real story doesn't start until our main character travels to the Congo to meet the most talked about man and yet, he slowly understands the corruption of the mind and of the heart outside of "civilized" Europe. The ideas and concepts of imperialism is very moving and dark, and reveals a clearer definition of the darkness of one's heart, physically and mentally.
I may be unfair to No More Lies but I didn't think it worked at all. Suddenly the Doctor and Lucie are chasing time-travelling wrongdoers - where did that come from? And where did the timeloop they get inserted into come from? And it's kinda cute to bring back the Vortisaurs from the first Big Finish story with McGann's Doctor, but maybe someone could have taken the time to explain to Nigel Havers what he was doing? Because he doesn't seem to know.
This is an excellent book that provides insight on Haiti through the interdisciplinary lens. It's not just about AIDS. It's about how the AIDS epidemic took place in Haiti through the actions of the United States as well as Haitian leadership. It is a historical account of events with personal accounts of real people, on the backdrop of environmental justice. Did you know that the US gov. wiped out ALL creole pigs, which were Haitian pigs, so that pigs from the US would be sent over there? Haitians had once relied on these hearty animals since for their livelihood. There's so much in this book that I probably forgot by now. I liked it because it gave me a new way of looking at AIDS.
