Bella bu kitapta son derece huysuz ... kesinlikle sürükleyin. Tüm 4 okumak zorunda, ben ilk bir sonra durdurmak ve bir gün çağırmak!

Yeni karakterler ve topraklar ve beklenmedik sürprizlerle bir başka büyük Redwall macerası. Redwall kitapları genellikle belirli bir hikaye "formülü" takip edebilir, ancak beni her zaman bir şekilde şaşırtıyorlar ve bu bir istisna değildi. Güzel hikaye!

"Unutulmuş Bahçe" zevk ve bu gibi iyi olacağını düşündüm. Yanlış! Sürükleyip sürdü ve bu noktaya gelmesi uzun sürdü. Sonra bu noktaya geldiğinde umursamadım. Anladığım ilk kitabı "Unutulmuş Bahçe" nin kalilası boyunca var. Umarım ya da ileride kitap okumazım. "Uzak Saatler" üçüncü kitabı. Genellikle yazarlar daha fazla yazdıkça gelişir, geriye doğru bir adım atmazlar.

Alex is home alone for the weekend when the Yellowstone supervolcano unexpectedly erupts. Volcanic ash rains down heavily on millions of people, blocking out the sun and covering parts of the USA in thick ashfall. Alex’s home is also destroyed after debris from the cataclysm causes a fire. Rather than staying in Iowa, Alex leaves to find his parents in Illinois, with little food and drink and only his ski jacket and skis to support him in the perilous trek. On his journey, Alex meets Darla, a knowledgeable, practical girl, and a strong relationship brews as they support each other in their attempt to survive in a changed world. Ashfall is noticeably long for a young adult novel – nearly 500 pages, but I rushed through it in two days, staying up until 1am because I couldn’t put it down. Post-apocalyptic novels seem to be the only genre that continues to have an effect on me even when I’ve stopped reading. I couldn’t wander through London, with the sky growing darker and darker, without feeling as though I was enduring the Yellowstone supervolcano eruption. Mike Mullin skilfully describes what living during an apocalyptic event might be like. The supervolcano is a genuine concern and the novel is based on scientific evidence, making it feel terrifyingly realistic. The story also depicts the way humanity might be affected by such an event – the way humans will strive to protect themselves, even if it means killing another human (and in the most gruesome of ways). It also shows the reverse – the kindness that others exhibit even though it may not been in their best interest. The reader is introduced to a myriad of contrasting characters, in particular, an eighteen year old girl named Darla. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Alex and Darla’s relationship brew. The couple go through life changing events but continue to support each other both emotionally and physically. However, Ashfall is a survival story, not a romance novel, and their relationship isn’t the main focus of the novel. Ashfall is an extremely detailed, apocalyptic tale of emotional strength and persistence, a darker, grittier version of Life as We Knew It . This book was obtained as an eGalley from Tanglewood Press. Dystopian or Not Dystopian? Not Dystopian I also reviewed this book over on Pretty Books.

A great read. Who would of thought you could inject humor into this subject!

A Date You Can't Refuse is the fourth book in the series about greeting card entrepreneur, Wollie Shelley. Although this can be a stand-alone book, I recommend reading the other three first just to get the background, and because they're pretty good. This one was by far my favorite of the series so far. Wollie takes a job as a "social coach" for up-and-coming stars from other countries, although she's actually cooperating with the FBI spying on the agency she works for. She soon realizes that there is something shady going on, and as dead bodies begin to pile up she begins getting nervous. She's also having relationship issues with her boyfriend, Simon, that she barely gets to see because he's working deep undercover for the FBI. I couldn't put this book down! Between wanting to find out if Wollie and Simon were going to work things out and trying to figure out what the big mystery was surrounding her job/spying, I was up late into the night reading. The action was fast paced and there was always something happening throughout the book. Plus, this book had me laughing out loud at times. The characters are great, the dialog witty, and the story line intriguing. I'd definitely recommend this book!

While it was well written, I really disliked the story. It was the first of Jane's novels that took me longer to get through and I really disliked the relationships. The ending seemed like it was wrapped up too quickly right when the two characters would've had some glorious revelation of romance FINALLY! but no it did not exist and was only talked of briefly. So far it is my least favorite of her books.

The wood sellers!!!
