Taibbi, karmaşık finansal uğraşları o kadar iyi ve eğlenceli bir şekilde açıklıyor ki bu kitaptan hoşlanmamak zor. Ayrıca merkezi argümanını da takdir ediyorum - bu Wall Street sahtekarlarının hepsinin hapse girmesi gerekiyor.

Bu, Mary Higgins Clark tarafından okuduğum ilk kitaptı. Şaşırtıcıydı! Aşağı koyamadım. Kesinlikle bir zorunluluk-okumak.

Tutarlılık devam ettiği sürece bu kitap kabaca okundu. Noktalarda gerçekten preachy hissetti. Ancak, olay örgüsü okumayı bitirmem için yeterince ilgi çekiciydi. Nasıl erken biteceğini biliyordum, ama yine de bitirdim. Daha iyi düzenleme, IMO'dan yararlanabilirdi.

harika okuma ve heyecan verici görüntü oluşturma

Çok güzel yazılmış ve öncü hayata ne güzel bir bakış. Ne kadar basit ama zor o zamanlar. O zamanlar geri yaşamak istiyorum ... büyük bir çadırın altında dans etmek, bir arabadan patlamış mısır yemek ve piyanoda zaman geçirmek için hikayeler anlatmak istiyorum. Ve tüm mevsimlerde kırsal alanların açıklamaları, belki de Nebraska'nın bugün bile bir sonbahar geçirmek için muhteşem bir yer olmayacağını merak ediyor. Bugün biraz kek pişirmem için bana ilham verdi. Tam olarak kendi unumu öğütmek ya da kendi tarımı sürmek gibi değil, ama en azından ailemin karnlarını aklımda tuttum.

what? Reminded me a little of Lovely Bones. A little odd, dont want to say any more and ruin the plot line for anyone!

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS is like candy for readers. It was one of two best books I've read in the past year. In fact, it probably ranks as one of my favorite books of all time. It was expertly, yet simply, written by Sara Gruen. The novel tells the story from the perspective of Jacob Jankowski who currently resides in a nursing home. The story alternates between Jacob's current living situation and the story of his past, how he once worked in a circus during the first part of the 20th century. The impending visit of a traveling circus next door to the nursing home prompts him to remember the details of his circus life/experiences when he was a young man. Gruen's description of the nursing home, its residents, and its day-to-day activities was spot-on. Having visited my grandparents on several occasions in their nursing home, I could easily visualize and relate to Jacob's experiences. It really came to life. You can tell that a lot of research was also put into the circus recollections of Jacob Jankowski. Gruen delves into circus life in the early 20th century when circuses traveled via train from town to town, and animal welfare and regulations were little more than an afterthought. I found all of Jankowski's experiences intriguing and actually felt like I was experiencing them right along with him. The characterizations felt realistic, too, and I could easily distinguish between the many different circus workers, and even some of the more prominent animals. Now that I've read this fantastic book, I'm very eager to see the forthcoming movie adaptation. I'd like to say that I'd love to see a sequel to this great tale; however, I think Jacob Jankowski's story has already been told in full in this one well-crafted novel.

My father kept honeybees while I was growing up - I have a fondness for them and a respect for beekeepers, in spite of the stings.
