Chelsea Handler'in tüm kitaplarında bu benim favorim. Her ne kadar onun masalları hakkında kendi ağzından okumak güzel olsa da, arkadaşlarının ne kadar berbat olduğunun hikayelerini anlatması, ferahlatıcıydı. Kesinlikle yüksek sesle güldü kez vardı ve neredeyse o çok ileri gitti düşündüm zamanlar vardı ama sonra düşündüm, o benim gibi becerdin. Bu kitapta tekrarlanan tema, Chelsea seninle dalga geçerse, seni seviyor ve sana yalan söylüyorsa, seni sevmesidir. Kendi hikayeleri için vahşi hikayeler ve saçma yalanlar döndürdü. 35 yaşımdayken, aynı derecede çekici, berbat ve başarılı olmayı umuyorum.

Good story!

This interesting picture book looks at busing in Boston in the 1970s. The collage artwork seems a perfect match for the story of Brewster, who finds out he will be bused to a white school in another part of town. A nice addition to an elementary library, to help students learn more about desegregation.

Speaking of pockets... I wonder how many kinds of pockets we can discover. Elizabeth Garton Scanlon and artist Robin Preiss Glasser have some ideas to share in this book. (I try to make it a habit to share the name of the author and illustrator before sharing a story to a group). I "sang" this book to the tune "If You're Happy & You Know It". I had to improvise a little on each stanza (double-page spread), but I made it work. If little ones are restless just do a few pages.

Amazing! A magnificent work of art, the story reads like a favorite fantasy savored before a fireplace in a comfortable armchair, it stimulates as if a fusion of an ancient tome and a current thriller, and it tastes like a fine wine. I loved the movie version, the Ninth Gate, as well although the story line is modified a bit. Congratulations to Mr. Perez-Reverte on this achievement--a remarkable novel.

I have seen the movie version of Emma too many times to truly appreciate the reading experience of Emma, but I think this novel would be a favorite had I gone into it with no clue of its contents. I love the character of Emma; she is seriously flawed through most of the novel to the point of my disliking her. But then her reform is so drastic and sincere that she becomes a truly endearing character. In fact, the complete cast of characters is so delightfully varied and wonderfully developed, I consistently found myself chuckling and sighing and rolling my eyes at their conduct. And of course, you can't have a Jane Austen novel without a wonderful love story. But unlike Austen's other novels, the love story plays a minor role in comparison to the lessons Emma learns. Don't get me wrong, my heart is still aflutter from Mr. Knightley's adorably clumsy declaration to Emma, but the true essence of the novel is Emma herself - a fantastically flawed heroine.
