Basically, the two últimso books I've read a lot I was struck by how good they were, so ...To start the show!
The Lovers, by John Connolly
'Red Wine' Said Angel. 'In a rib joint. You know, we're gay, and events we do not drink wine in a rib joint. "
'The I guess if I were gay, I'd just be a more sophisticated homosexual Than You. In FACT, Regardless of my sexuality, I'm still more sophisticated Than You. "
I think it's official. Anything you write this man I love, everything that dies except I did not like much. But this book, this has been incredible.
is part of the book series of private detective Charlie "Bird" Parker (who s & iacute;, same name as the jazz musician, but no relation), the last to come out. In these books, John Connolly succeeds, the principle is so realistic that you thought something was wrong with the character, and now, after several books, when you've already taken, so as creepy and logic put a supernatural element in his stories, which, if not for that, would realistically harsh. The question is this: Charlie is the "ghosts" (quotation marks because it is not exactly what they are, but shadows made the memories of Charlie and fattened with their anger and fear) of his wife and daughter who were killed a YEAR agoyears. And in this latest book, a supernatural element that adds another, two figures, the Lovers, who go after him.
However, although the synopsis crappy that I just can not do him much justice, the book is great, especially by the author. Although I have loved the plot, with twists that made me cringe was the heart, the characters so realistic, tormented, what really keeps me hallucinating, book after book, is the ability of a writer who is this man . I love how he narrates, and how (more on this earlier, I must say) we note that, under the plot, there are a lot of research. I remember one ... The Black Angel, my favorite of all the series (Lovers back, I must say), in which much of the book was Charlie and a murder, a prostitute. Well, I learned more than women in the U.S. trade with that book, indirectly, that in my entire life. Or the story of a crypt decorated with bones, up near Prague, then I visited, too. Or about anything than go for Bird in the book, anything is noticed a lot of information on Connolly's head, and knows how to convey it. And that, along with the words fuck you and you stick to the book and not let you go until you finish it, make John Connollymy favorite writer.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Michael Chabon
Sometimes Sammy Feared That He Was on His Way of Becoming a professional sidekick.
This book has been a very pleasant discovery. Reading it has been like a roller coaster, exactly the same: first, the ilusióny curious to see what will be the thing, then light the ups and downs, but exciting, then rise each increasingly slow and distressing (which began in the book heart-wrenching moments) to the summit, and after the violent descent, ascends great but slight decreases until the end, that leaves you breathless, and in the case of the book with tears in his eyes.
had heard of him in the LJ, look what. A girl who writes very good fics House mentioned it, and added it to my To Do list about six months. Then I saw a movie, Wonderboys, which was based on a book by Chabon, and I loved it. And finally I bought it, and do not regret one iota.
The plot of the book, at first glance may seem a bit dull, or uninteresting: the book about two cousins, Joseph (Joe) Kavalierro, The Night Watch, which takes place in London during WWII.
Prestidigitacióny Escapism: I want to learn to pass the coins. I've been reading and two or three books where the protagonist could do something with coins / sleight of hand in general: Shadow of both American Gods and Joe Kavalier. So now I have entered the monkey, and I'll see if I look for tutorials or summer loq ue is, to know how to disappear coins with your fingers and such. About escapism, was a theme of the novel. Both Joe and Sammy spent their lives slipping away, Joe Prague and Nazism, and Sammy away from the truth, about himself. There are also many references to Houdini, or the ability of Jlimited idea, and besides, my sister and I could not even go outside Manhattan, but the visit was less touristy. We did not go to the Statue of Liberty (but we took the ferry to Staten Island), not climb the Empire State (because, come on, had to pay, and we were tired), or visit the Ground Zero. Instead, we kicked Little Italy and Chinatown, and Harlem, and Greenwich Village, and Fifth Avenue, and I, at least I have the memory of the feeling I was. Like Prague, as well as Krakow, as well as Vienna and Boston (yes, I have traveled a lot, but thanks to my brother, the world's best).
As I was saying. Now I return to New York, and enjoy a &, Desktop search, No more than what I see, because when you read about Euna city, you get the picture, you begin to know its streets, and feel that makes you set foot in the place I've read Therefore it is indescribable. I think that novels are a thousand times better than the best travel guide.
on the Second World War, I have little to say. It's terrible, but it is terribly interesting, and I liked reading about it from the standpoint of a Jew, though not extremely confident, he knows how much suffering your family, back in Prague, can not do anything to save or help them. It is heartbreaking.
