Ben bitiremedim. Hemingway'i sadece küçük dozlarda sevdiğimi düşünüyorum.

A funny compilation of the most depressing songs ever. I heard about this book on a rock radio station. They are all criticized in some way, which is a shame cause I like some of those songs. He seperates the 52 songs into different catagories, such as: I Was A Teenage Car Crash; I Hate Myself and Want to Die; I'm Tring to Be Profound and Touching, But Really Suck At It; If I Sing About Drugs, People Will Take Me Seriously; She Hates Me, I Hate Her; Horrifying Remakes of Already Depressing Songs; I'm Telling a Story Nobody Wants to Hear; I Had No Idea That Song Was So Morbid; I Mope, Therefore I Am; and lastly, Perfect Storms.

Frankly, this is probably the most horrifying and most optimistic book out there for youth.

What an addicting read. A little hard to follow at times, but you're really so enthralled the entire time the difficult bits just fly by. Though the novel bounces back and forth to different perspectives, it's truly Carrie McGavock that carries the novel, just as she carried so much during and after the Battle of Franklin. An amazingly strong woman, I wonder how much was her real character and how much was added upon by Robert Hicks. As for her relationship with Zachariah, it seemed at times unneccessary and would drag the novel down. Hick's writing, though, makes up for any character flaws in the novel. I felt that his descriptions and narratives really brought in the nature and attitude of the South near the end of the Civil War. He doesn't vilify anyone in the novel (i.e. Confederates, Union soldiers, blacks, ideals of the south) which is a relief for any reader wanting to read a (relatively) hopeful story of the War. There's not much else I can say about this book. It's a really excellent and moving read, any fan of historical fiction, especially Civil War fiction should do themselves a favor and pick up this book.
