SEVİLEN.

Bu, kısaltılmış sesli kitap olarak kullandığım, ancak çağlarda okumadığımlardan biri. Yani hikayenin bazı bölümleri alıntı yapabilirdim ve parçaları neredeyse yeniydi. Bu benim için dizideki göze çarpan kitaplardan biri.

I loved these essays.

Kozol's latest book, he returns to the same neighborhood that he wrote Amazing Grace. In comparison to his previous books, he admits that this book is more tempered, less all-out fire and passion-- but in doing so, i think he is more honest and transparent about the occasional doubts that affect many people who work in underserved communities (myself included).

Tursten's 2nd novel with Inspector Huss--The Torso--is one of those buzzed-up novels that people who care about these sorts of things really went nuts for awhile back. So I figured it couldn't hurt to start at the beginning. D.I. Huss has a lot going for it: Swedish female detective who moonlights as a Judo master (no, really), familial tension as a microcosm of greater societal tension (one of her daughters becomes a skinhead midway), Hell's Angels, BDSM photos as evidence, and general police squad drama. This book definately reads like a primer, however. Tursten spends a lot of time establishing who her characters are, often by following them through a scene only to have them repeat it verbatim ten pages later to another character. A lot of space and time is wasted on this rehashing. The dialog also runs away with itself at times, with characters melodramatically emoting and responding to what are actually some very important social issues in Sweden (treatment of foreigners, such as the Finnish maid; the rise of the aforemention Skinhead youth culture, etc). My last pet peeve was simply the fact that the reader is forced to go through every minute aspect of the police investigation--the meetings, the dead ends, the interviews with sad old ladies. This, I admit, is not so much a fault of the book but a preference of my own. Make a note: Police Procedurals and Crime Novels--very different things. At any rate, I am still looking forward to The Torso, whose grotesque crime apparantly leads the detectives on a wild chase through Sweden and Copenhagen. Skal!

This is the worst book I have ever read. Who is going to go waste money on the movies?
