I didn’t know much about Arnold Schwarzenegger beyond his movies, so this book was a great introduction to his life. It really showed how disciplined and focused he is, and I found his advice based on real-life experiences very inspiring. I enjoyed reading it and found it very informative.
Orijinal metninde okuduğum eserlere yine aynı dilde inceleme yazdığım için buna da İngilizce devam edeceğim, kusura bakmayın :)
I really enjoyed reading this book. At first, I thought it might be difficult because it was written a long time ago, but the story became more interesting as I continued reading.
One of the things I liked most about the book was the adventure and action. The characters travel through dangerous forests, face many challenges, and have to make difficult decisions. This kept me interested and made me want to know what would happen next. But the most interesting thing was to think that all this cruelty and madness actually happened. It is blood-curling and saddening to think that the massacre scene at the battlefield or what that savage did to that baby by the rock really happened in real life.
I also liked how the friendship between the characters was shown throughout the story. The novel explores themes such as courage, loyalty, friendship, and survival. It gives readers a glimpse into a different period of history. It helped me imagine what life was like during the conflicts between different groups in North America. And I also wished I could have crazy natural survival skills, tracking skills and enhanced vision or hearing like the mohicans who dwell in the forests. Imagining living like them makes my sedentary city-dwelling life seem much more duller than normal.

Okay first things first — I am completely obsessed with this series. Diana, Samkiel, Imogen… honestly, I love every single character in this series, the good ones and the bad ones.
But HOW did you make me fall for Kaden like this?? I literally went from "meh, not a fan" to "wait, Diana and Kaden could totally be endgame??" ,and this is coming from someone whose favorite book husband is Samkiel!! Why would you do this to me??
And what you did to Reggie?? I was an absolute mess, ugly crying the whole time! We needed him, he was our dad figure why did you take him away from us, Amber, WHY??
Okay but real talk, the pacing was perfect, and this book had me glued to the pages the entire time. I honestly don't know how you do it, queen, but you just get it. Keep doing what you're doing — even if you destroy my emotions every single time, I still love you for it.
Also the 5th book needs to come out NOW because I genuinely cannot wait anymore!!
As I have read this book in English and in the UK I think I better write a rewiew in English.
The book won a Nero Book Award and was longlisted for Booker Prize.
The book was just how I expected it to be. It was kind of sentimental and to be frank it was a bit heartbreaking.
Thomas lives with his mother who has a complete control over him. He doesn't know his father. Pop grows him up he is dead now like his father.
One day a man shows up who claims to be a renowned director and offers him a job. But in the end everything turns out to be a kind of disaster.
I adored this book.
In Amis’s famous novel, London Fields, the witty language is used and highlighted in the book repatedly. With the use of wit and pan (word play) Amis creates one of the most intelligent written novel
Melankoli, hüzün ve eylemsizlik üçgeniyle geçen 47 yıllık bir ömür...
Beş ay gibi bir sürede bitirdiğim, her kelimesini tekrar tekrar okumak istediğim bir yapıt bu. Günlük hayattaki ruh halimi çoğu zaman olumsuz etkilese de; anlam arayışımı ve derunimi daha da derinleştiren, kelimelerle tarifi imkansız bir kitap.
Haftanın birkaç gününde, kendisi için kolay bir uğraş olarak gördüğü muhasebecilik mesleğini ifa eden ve işi dışındaki zamanın büyük çoğunluğunu odasında geçiren bir yazar... Pessoa, bu tecrit sürecinde tahayyül istidatını sınırlarına kadar zorlamış ve varoluşsal sancılarını en yoğun haline ulaştırmıştır. Şüphesiz ki yazar, bu süreçle birlikte dipsiz bir melankoli hissine kapılmış ve içindeki o dinmeyen huzursuzluğu dindirmenin tek yolu olarak kitaplara, yani yazma eylemine sığınmıştır.
Ölümünden sonra odasında bulunan, içi el yazmalarıyla dolu o meşhur tahta sandık ve bu metinlerin çoğunun aynı yazarın kaleminden çıkmasına rağmen farklı kimliklerle (Heteronimler/yarı-heteronimler) yazılmış olması, Pessoa’nın ne denli karmaşık ve bilinmez bir iç dünyaya sahip olduğunu kanıtlıyor.
Hayata karşı takındığı bu muazzam eylemsizliği ve bilmezliği, ölüm döşeğindeki o son cümlesiyle adeta mühürlemiştir:
"I know not what tomorrow will bring." (Yarının ne getireceğini bilmiyorum.)
