Bir kadın yazar tarafından yazılan, 1900'lü yılların başlarında yaşlı bir erkek vaizin küçük oğluna bir mektup yazarak yaşlı adamın günlerinin sağlığı azalırken numaralandığını bildikleri söylenir. Dini içgörüler dürüsttü (birçok Hristiyanın uğraştığı mücadeleleri gösteriyor ve tüm cevapları bilmiyormuş gibi) ve stil mükemmeldi. Arsa "eylem" yavaş ama korkmayacak gibi çözülmez.
Bu kitap bana Douglas Adams'ı - sevdiğim kitapları hatırlattı - ama çoğunlukla DA kadar iyi olmasa da. Hans Solo'nun herkesin olmak istediği kişi hakkındaki açıklama harikaydı. Bazı iyi bitler vardı ve genel fikir iyiydi, ama bu roman hakkında bir şey benim için bir araya gelmedi.
I read this after an emphatically positive review by a complete stranger in a small branch of Waterstones. i am so glad that I took notice of this prophet. Having found Iain Banks' fiction difficult to read and difficult to empathise with I discovered that Iain M Banks writes wholly differently. His plots are huge, his characters engaging and the style of writing is much mnore accessible. How curious that they are the same person, although he has admitted preferring to be IMB, rather than just IB
Best book I read all summer. It's hilarious--you might be laughing out loud on the subway. If you like Cintra's biting pop-culture pieces on Salon, you should read this. Her fiction is even better. I need her to write another book NOW!
I really like this book, but I was a tiny bit disappointed by how abruptly it ended. I would've liked to have one last chapter explaining everyone's lives after the point when it stopped.
Such a riveting and thought-provoking book. I was sad when it was over. On the other hand, I thought Hilly was too "Mean Girls" to be a totally believable character, which made the story feel more trite. The characters were all a bit stereotyped as well. In the end, I admire Ms. Stockett for taking on this monumental topic, despite her being white.
