52 Books in 52 Weeks (2012) discussion

"In this thread, everyone will post their reviews/opinions of the book they have read this week AFTER you rate/review it on your page. The purpose of this is so everyone can see what you read this week and read your review without having to visit each profile. Some of you have their profiles locked, so this saves you the trouble of unlocking it.

ANY COMMENTS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THAT MATTER WILL BE DELETED.

The format will be like this:

Name of book.
Author.
n/5 stars.

"Your simple opinion/extended review/one word that expresses what you thought of the book. GO CRAZY! Anything counts. Don't feel pressured."

Link to your review.

Also, this allows us to be organized, so even if a member didn't log in for about a month, they can add the book they've read to the appropriate thread.

THANK YOU ALL!


EDIT:
As I've mentioned in the guidelines, one word or a simple opinion counts as a 'review'. I only called it that because Goodreads calls it that."


Now let's see your achievements, awesome people.

4/5 stars



كتاب خفيف ومليئة بالسخرية المضحكة، الكتاب يتكون من عدة مقالات كتبها أحمد خالد توفيق ونشرها في كتاب، مع إني أكره الكتب المليئة بالمقالات لكن هذا الكتاب يستاهل القراءة.

الدكتور دمه خفيف، ولغته جميلة جدًّا. <3

Graceling
by Kristin Cashore

3/5

It's about a girl that has a Grace (supernatural power) that makes her able to kill anyone. That isolated her from other people and made the king (her uncle) use her in punishing whoever defies him. She doesn't enjoy killing but has to do it. So will she continue being the killing monster everyone is afraid of ?

I enjoyed reading this book but it had some very unrealistic incidents that helped the main character overcome some problems she faced.

Book: Embroideries
Author: Marjane Satrapi
4/5

It's a book to read in less than an hour. Satrapi's style and humor made it very enjoyable. I deducted a star because I wished it was a bit longer.

Book: Hurting Distance
Author: Sophie Hannah
Genre: Fiction, Young Adult, Fantasy, Mystery
Finished Date: 09.Nov.2012
Rating: ★★★★
Review: a great suspenseful book...

≈ I really loved this book for the strong emotional baggage it had not that the first book wasn't. But Hurting Distance was even more intriguing and gripping compared to the first one. This time I felt for the women involved as much as for Charlie herself. There were some little gaps I was annoyed with but the action was worth it. ≈

Mortal Coil by Derek Landy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


So. Many. Stupid. Things. Happened. I wanted to shake everyone in the book to just, gah. I don't know. I suppose I felt the loss of one of the characters a bit. Onwards to the next book.
