    • Rated 3 stars

    This book has pros and cons.

    I will start talking about it's good aspects. I liked the decoration in whitch the action takes place. I like the description of a Bucharest who could be a quite place in the time of war. I liked that there were a lot of fragments about Hitler and his generals because right now I'm really interested in world war II problems.

    The bad aspects of this book were that it seemed a combination of too many things. This book wats to be a spy book, but there ar to many elements implied, to many people who work for the secret services that makes you confuse.

  • Tess of the D'Urbervilles
    • Rated 5 stars

    This book was absolutly great. I really, rally love Thomas Hardy writing stile.

    This book is about a yong virgin girl who is sedused by a reach man, and the she is left alone. She's trying to keep living while she's dealing with people's prejudices. When she finaly find the one she love, she can't fulfil her love, also because of the prejudices.

    You can't read the tragic story of this girl without carying about her. It can't pass near you unnoticed. There were times when I cryed when I was reading it. And it made me realize that I love the romanticism.

  • Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
    • Rated 2 stars

    I can't say that I disliked this book. What I should say is that it was really boring. A lot of characters that doesn't interact much with each others, a lot of usless descriptions and other things like these. The main character does not have the most important role; I think that I can actualy say that it was really unimportant, but I taked part at every piece of the action. I can say about him that he was more an observer that a character.

    The only good part of this book was that it give you a nice description of Savannah and that the author is able to make you like all the characters, even if they ar not important.

    I wanted to read somting by Poe for a long, long time. But I was unable to satisfy my desire until now, when I brought a book wrote by him. The book that I own contain six stories: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt", "The Purloined Letter", "The Black Cat", "The Masque of the Red Death" and another one.

    My favourite story was "The Masque of the Red Death", which I think that is the most romantic of his all works. I loved the descriptions, I love that there were magic and mistery.

    The first two storyes were nice, but I disliked the endings. I wantede them diferent. My last favourites are "The Black Cat" and the last one. "The Black Cat" seemd very strange and the last one was very predictable.

  • All Quiet on the Western Front - Erich Maria Remarque (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
    • Rated 4 stars

    The way this book decribe the war is really touching, it made me cry. And I'm not a person who starts crying easely. You should read this book to know how tragic a war could be.

    The book ilustrate the life of a soldier who's trying to survive. It talks about the fights that take place on the front and which ar albe to transform the soldier in a killing machine for whom metter just to survive and to be the first who shoot. It talks about the military hospitals where you can find all tipes of wounds and where the pain reign. It talks about the doctors that sent to war people without legs or hends just because they need more people.

    You can also see the hard life of civils, of some girls that are ready to offer their love for a bread or the mother trying to keep his son home a longer time.

    But it's hard to say it with my words. I can say dead and tragic and I coprise here more than I can say. I sugest you to read the book and then you may understand what I was thinking about.

  • One Hundred Years of Solitude
    • Rated 5 stars

    One of the most beautiful I've read. It's very hard to talk about it, to say something more that "it was wonderful" or "you defenetly should read it!". But I'll try to go further and I will tell you that this book follow the story of a family during 100 years. And evry member of the family is so alone, is so unhappy. All the characters are great, I liked them all.

    I also liked the end, whitch gives circularity to this book. It begins with a new born vilage and it ends with it's end. The comunitiy is destroied without the family that creates it.

    This book was really interestig, very beautiful writen and I recomend it to anyone.

  • Veronika Decides to Die
    • Rated 4 stars

    This book was great. It's strange, when I began to read this, I thought that it's another stupid book about suicide. I never wanted to read this and I started doing just because it was a birthday present. But after a few pages I descoverd that it is, in fact, a wonderfull book, full of ideas about life, a book that make you reflect at your own life and teach you that life is beautiful and all that you have to know is to descover it's beauty. This is that kind of book that make you thank to God that you are alive and I think that anyone who thinks that living is not worthy should read this book. It can also be an interesting read for someone who enjoy the life or for someone who thinks that his/her highest goal is to be the same with others, to be as the others ask him to be. This book shows you that you are the only one who can decide what is the best for you and that you shouldn't be afraid to be like you are.

    This reminds me of some lyrics of a song I really like. They sound like this:
    Don't let the mass confuse you
    With it's stupidity
    God is in me God is in you
    Now be strong and walk alone

    I think this lyrics ilustrate well the main idea of this book...

  • Perfume
    • Rated 5 stars

    This book is very well writen, but it's sunject is a little boring for me. And I also found disgusting the way the main character think, but I guess that this is what makes the book more beautiful.

    This book, wrote by Patrick Suskind it's about a boy born with some peculiaritys: he has no smell, but he has a perfect sence of smelling and one day he descovers the most beautiful perfume of all: the perfume of a young girl...

    The action is placed in France in the XVIII century and the book lead you in the world of smells. I've already said that it was well written, but I will say it again.

    I recomend this book to anyone who want to read some good literature, but people should know that it isn't a romantic story ar somthing like this. It can be really disgusting from time to time, but this book may change the way you see the reality.

  • The Dead Zone
    • Rated 5 stars

    I liked this book. Well, I'm a big fan of Stephen King, so it's not a mystery why I liked it.

    To say more about the book, I will say that it's about a man who becomes able to know the life of the others by touching them or an object that belongs to them after a car crash and after a coma of some years. It's sad that his girlfriend leave him in this period and marry another man. If you know the style of King, you know what to expect from this book.
