öyküyle karıştırılan birçok iyi sorun var; kahraman, zamanını 16 yaşındaki huysuz bir çocukla çalışarak geçirmeli.

Ben Malcolm Gladwell'in büyük bir hayranıyım. Dünyaya çok ilginç bir bakış açısı var ve kitapları merak uyandırıyor. Özellikle kurgusal olmayanlar için. Gerçekten, onu indirmekten nefret ediyorum! Bu kitap başarı sosyolojisini incelemekte ve başarılı insanları tamamen yeni bir ışık altında değerlendirmenizi sağlamaktadır. Bana düşünmek için çok şey verdi.

This book took me on an amazing journey...I was kinda lost when it was over. So well written!

Wonderful read-aloud. It's fun to guess what the next animal is going to be by watching the antics of the little girl and her toy monkey.

** spoiler alert ** Gavin Fitzjohn is the son of an English prince and a Scotswoman who decides to return to Scotland where he finds shelter as a knight at the home of Clare Carr. They marry, but Clare fights between what she believes to be proper for a lady and what she wants while Gavin has his own border to cross. Rating this book is difficult. I was quickly interested in the story and in the characters, but my interest did not last. The initial story - that Gavin is torn between two countries in the 14th century, was very intriguing. Motherless Clare, who feels her father abandoned her, is attached to her falcons. Unfotunately, the falcon becomes a very forced metaphor for the relationship between the two main characters, which okay at first but grew increasingly annoying. They are forced to marry when her father decides Gavin is the best choice for Clare, after he beats out the man she had unrequited like for. As the story progresses, Clare is shown to be shallow and selfish in how she treats Gavin, how she acts towards other characters and how she tries to cling things that don't exist, such as her feelings for the Frenchman and her "ladylike" principles. These same principles also become annoying later on. Once she and Gavin grow together, it made no sense to me why she pulled back from him again. The conflict grew murky, and the ending was placed there without being a part of the story. Clare sends Gavin away and he goes, even though he's promised to be master of the tower, only for a simple talk from her father's paramour to convince Clare that she might have been wrong to turn him away. Not much of a climax. There were things I liked here: some interesting description, the emphasis that battle and knights were not the flag-carrying romantic stuff Clare believed and the fact that her father did seem to care for her, even though Clare didn't see it. I appreciated that the author never resolved that part of their relationship but left it hanging. But all these things made me give the book a 2 star rating, though parts of it were better and parts worse.

i've gotten abt half way thru this and i read the hours in hopes it would engage me to get thru it, but alas, i still haven't.

I think you either love or hate Diaz's style. I loved it because it was refreshing. He has a unique, in-your-face straightforward, no flowery prose style that was humorous and touching. His characters were honest, and I really appreciated how the book finished. It's not often an author can intertwine history and culture together and fuse it with modern day life, like the fuku curse he weaves throughout the story. I love to learn the culture of different countries without being forced to pick up a history book, and Diaz told the story of the DR well.

This series just continues to confuse me. what the hell is going on.
