Snegov - people like gods

people who possess superior technology, a la Star Trek (and considerably more), to "rid" the whole planet just to have solved all their problems go, through space - and despite everything can come to their limits, save civilizations (or, change) and so on and so forth.

Snegov has designated landmark written - for example, I like his "physics", which approach is certainly one of the Star Trek universe, and his aliens, which are often so bizarre and strange, that it really hardly anything in common with people. So, we say, as much alien Borg or Vulcan, etc.. It is also quite exciting ... but ....

Yes, but. Early SciFi was just not science fiction, is about space ship technology, supercomputers, space things, foreign civilizations .. but little about literature or something. The characters remain (except for Eli) is quite superficial, it does not feel. Just humanity in prima-communism of the Star Trek future is so incredibly naive, there is almost never any Conflict (and if, they appear very artificially inserted into the plot), the on-board computer (almost) always right .... So from page 500 it sucks slowly.

Oh yes, it's all black and white. Good and evil. Simple.
It hardly needs to weigh, there is no "Both parties have their own way right."

Anyway - I found it entertaining, but a little easy.

The Best Perfume For Men

Gaskell - Cranford

Not a lot happens in the village of Cranford. Or, at least, that's the way it seems. life In fact it is stuffed full with the details of Victorian. Interestingly for the period # in which it was written (1851-1853), Gaskell depicts this world entirely through the eyes of the women who inhabit it. Again, given its era, Cranford as such devotes considerable space to the machinations involved in selecting the right bonnet, societal slights and quandaries and the general minutiae of domestic life. But again this is Cranford’s success—in these seemingly superfluous details, Gaskell in fact explores the complexity of being female in Victorian Britain, a role wrought by the profound restrictions imposed through a myriad of established patterns of codeified behaviour. Elizabeth Gaskell’s circle of women, led by the youthful Mary and the ageing Miss Matty—women at two distinct phases of their female life cycle as so precisely viewed by the Victorians—give much food for thought.

How Long Does A Fibroid Take

Moses Wintering

Since I am by no means neutral and objective reviews to try, but to write down here only for my own pleasure and to my own forgetfulness - I read a lot, and I often do after a few years not even remember exactly what - here's a emotional statement:

Thank you dear, Kate Moses, that you gave me back Sylvia Plath!

I read and read great poems SPs since teenage days (and am still of the opinion that they are among the best that has produced the 20th century in poetry). Also, SPs life has always fascinated me - a young, highly intelligent Woman, failing to their excessive demands on themselves and life, and harm, radical in their suicide attempts, the last one was fatal, with only 30 years.

But then I started 1-2 years SPs diaries and got a different picture of her that disturbed me, the one often so bitter nerd who was looking for "Mr. Right", self-centered and extremely petty. What a pity, I thought even then that her (ex-) husband, Ted Hughes just the diaries of her last months in which she wrote many of her best poems, destroyed after her death.

This gap is filled now Kate Moses a little. Along the facts, if known, They invented this new time, with flashbacks to other formative moments of SPs recent years. She does it with fairness - even Ted Hughes opposite - with love and empathy of the difficult and often endearing poet compared with a grandiose language that reflects the SP's wonderful (although I read sometimes wish if my limited knowledge of English, I would have a dictionary handy).

And I gave the book to look back freely on the great poet Sylvia Plath.

Thanks!

Weldon - divisions

Looking for an easy holiday reading, I made this mistake. I remembered duster that has Weldon yes, the "devil " written what I found at least a movie a few years ago quite amusing.

The book is just boring. This is the idea so not so honest - women divided by the separation of man into multiple personalities, which enable it to completely new sides of themselves act out and by the way the former one obliterate . Only that, explained in a confused essay is, indeed is not right mentally ill, or something.

Unfortunately, all their personalities are deadly dull - a narrow-minded secretary, a muffled pop singer, a welcome that only birds, and a wailing wife - a flat and stale as the other. I think later in the book are even more personalities, but after the plot abruptly to a desolate old couple waving, or giving the house abluchsen have, I have added to the book.

Loveless crude concoction pity.

Ruth - The psychic

The good stuff to say about this book can - and it is certainly worth reading and I was an entertaining holiday read - is that the Canadian author of more than once before their model, which draws highly valued by me Margret Atwood, the hat. The sometimes bizarre, often injured and often strong female characters remind me a little of that from Atwood's Robber Bride more books like.

Unfortunately Elizabeth Ruth is coming - to? - Failed to match the grande dame of Canadian literature ...

What is it? Lilith Booth is thick, not very intelligent, a long psychiatric career behind him - and works for the police as a psychic who tracks down missing children. Lemon, she tells her daughter that she was with her virgin become pregnant - what the suffering under increasing Lemon eating disorders after a certain age no longer believes, of course, after which she decides to find out the truth about her producer ... Unfortunately, the device

clairvoyance and mystical birth again and again out of sight and power over long distances typical teenage problems place (eating disorders, love affairs, sexual preferences, etc). The book loses momentum and charisma.

there was still like to read and vary between 3 and 4 points, and since it can indeed be measured by the great model, but unfortunately only
