Daisy Town. Lucky Luke Tom 51 Czytaj online

Paula Cardoso paulaalexcardoso — Despite historical and regional arcs, it felt like a lot of disorganized trivia on the subject. Needed a bit more binding together. Given the references to the Basque world and cod fishing perhaps its just part of some grand trilogy to go with his Basque and codfishing books (heavily advertised in the covers). Lord of the Rings for the documentary set. Instilled in me a great urge to start pickling and preserving things. Then I realized I hate most pickled products and simultaneously that I have way too much time on my hands.

Francisco Ortiz franciscooe564 — "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Mahmoud Tawfik lovecat773242f — This was very light on details. It felt scattered and unfinished. It's good for those that don't have any idea how most Afghanistan culture is almost mediaeval in the way the women population is treated.

Vihren Todorov vihren — Erik Larson writes an effective, if plodding, bestseller that one can bring to the beach while still pretending to be reading something highbrow and noble (it's based on actual historical documents, after all). Larson's book follows the US Ambassador to Germany (William Dodd) and his family as they navigate life in Berlin during the rise of Hitler. Ambassador Dodd is an idealistic history professor and a Jeffersonian Democrat who believes that those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it. He says this literally (in addresses he delivers before American audiences in Germany and the US) and is also set up by Larson as some sort of soothsaying prognosticator who not only battles Hitler and his cronies, but also the den of iniquity known as the US Foreign Office and State Department, which is full of spoiled, rich men who prepped together at Groton, St. Paul's, Harvard, and Princeton and just want to extend their partying abroad. Dodd and his family are portrayed as the only stalwart characters amidst the tumult that grips Germany and the world leading up to WWII. This ground has been covered before in Robert Dallek's biography of Ambassador Dodd and in the many, many other books that analyze the leadup to WWII. Larson's writing style also leaves something to be desired. He sets up every chapter and sentence as a cliffhanger. Larson crafts sentences such as, "If only Dodd [or insert another character's name here] knew what was to come later..." "Martha would only see her father cry once more, many years later..." but the actual revelation (which usually comes many chapters or hundreds of pages later) is usually something inconsequential. Larson does do a good job of portraying the claustrophobic, hothouse atmosphere that pervaded Germany prior to WWII, and which helps explain the general malaise of the populace, but once again, there are better books that capture this period firsthand, such as Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin.

Karen B _karen — I've not been taken by an RPG in a long time. This one has very much captured my imagination and I really am impressed with the quality & direction of this game.

Vicki Cooke vickicooke — It combines two of my favorite things to read in a romance novel. The hero is scarred and she is practically blind. Plus the sex is steamy. What more could one want? Read the full review - http://www.loveromancepassion.com/lov...

Trilce Garcia trilcegarcia — This book is so much fun.
