I never thought that one day I would read and finish this book, but here I am — I read it, I finished it, and just as I expected, it turned out exactly that way. The Love Hypothesis is a book full of clichés but with the “I’m going to break the clichés” kind of attitude.
I’m not even sure where to start. I don’t know if I actually liked the book, but I enjoyed reading it. It flowed really well, so I can’t complain about that part. However, Olive constantly talking about how big Adam was started to annoy me. I wanted to tell her, “Yes, we get it, he’s a big guy. You don’t have to remind us every ten seconds!”
After that, their dialogues… I don’t know, they felt really ridiculous to me. It was less of a romantic comedy and more of a romantic nonsense kind of story. But it was the type of book that didn’t require much thought, was easy to read, and flowed nicely. I already know that once I finished it, I wouldn’t think about it again.
The movie adaptation is coming. I’m not sure if I’ll watch it, but maybe I will just to clear my mind and have something easy to watch.
Bir gün bu kitabı okuyup ve bitireceğimi hiç düşünmezdim ama işte buradayım, okudum ve bitirdim ve tahmin ettiğim gibi oldu. Klişelerle dolu ama ben klişeleri yıkmaya karar verdim havası ile love hypothesis kitabı. Nereden başlasam emin değilim. Kitabı beğendim mi, ondan bile emin değilim ama okurken keyif aldım, yani akıp gitti okurken. O kısımda bir sorun yoktu ama olive'in sürekli adam ne kadar büyük demesi sinir bozucuydu. Kendisine gidip evet anladık, o büyük biri. Bunu her on saniyede bize hatırlatmana gerek yok! Sonrasında aralarındaki diyaloglar, bilmiyorum çok saçma geldi. Romantik komediden çok, romantik saçmalıklar üzerine bir kurguydu ama kafayı yormayan, akan ve bittiğinde bir daha
What do we do when things go wrong?
Years ago, when I first spotted this book in a stationery shop, I decided to buy it without even flipping through its pages. On the cover, three men were being carried by the river's current toward an unknown destination. The title revealed little more than the image itself: Three Men in a Boat. Where they were going and why remained hidden between the pages.
For some reason, I never got around to reading it. The book sat forgotten on a shelf for years, quietly waiting for me. Then one day I picked it up and finally began. Soon, I discovered why these three men had embarked on such a sudden and peculiar boating trip. Tired of their daily routines and convinced that they were suffering from all sorts of illnesses, they believe an adventure will do them good. Instead, the following two weeks prove far more challenging than expected. They can never quite agree on what should be done or how it should be done. They blame one another, make a mess of simple tasks, and seem incapable of catching a break. Jerome narrates all of this with an exaggerated sense of humor and remarkable wit.
In the end, the three companions more or less accomplish what they set out to do. By the time they return to dry land, they are rather proud of themselves. But perhaps this book was written not only to amuse, but also to make us reflect. As we accompany these three friends like an invisible fourth passenger, we spend much of the journey wanting to step in and sort things out for them.
And yet, when things go wrong in our own lives, what exactly do we do?

A Critical Review of Humankind
Rutger Bregman’s book Humankind is one of the books that questions negative ideas about human nature and makes readers think. For many years, many people believed that humans are naturally selfish, bad, and only care about themselves. However, Bregman does not agree with this idea. According to him, human nature is not as dark as people think. Instead, people are more willing to help each other, understand others’ feelings, and do good things. In the book, the author supports these ideas with many examples from wars, psychology experiments, history, and biology. One of the best parts of the book is that it gives hope about humanity. Still, when I finished the book, I did not only feel admiration. On one side, I was happy to read it because it made me think differently. On the other side, some of the author’s ideas felt too optimistic to me. Because of this, the book was both interesting and questionable for me.
One of the strongest parts of the book is that it makes people question ideas about human nature that many accept without thinking. Today, we often see violence, murder, wars, and fights on television, social media, and in the news. After some time, people start to believe that the world is full of bad people. At this point, Bregman asks an important question: If humans were really bad by nature, how could societies survive for so many years? A big part of human history was shaped by helping each other, working together, and surviving together. From this side, the writer’s ideas are important and meaningful.
His ideas against the belief that humans are naturally wild are especially interesting. Today, when someone behaves badly, people sometimes say, “Did you grow up in a cave?” However, Bregman says that hunter-gatherer societies were not as violent as many
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.

Savaşın kendisinden çok, insanların savaş karşısındaki sessizliğini anlatıyor ve iş işten geçince ses cikarmanin ne önemi var? #birgünherkesbunahepkarşıymışgibiyapacak duvarına çarptım bugün deNe demişti Yaşar Kemal "her savaş önce yoneticileri çürütür ondan sonra da halkları çürütür"
Bir yerde insanlar ölürken başka yerlerde hayatın hiçbir şey olmamış gibi devam etmesi, zaman geçince herkesin vicdanlı görünmeye çalışması kitap boyunca en sert hissettirdiği şeylerden biri oldu.
Yalnızca bir coğrafyayı değil; korkuyu, kaybı, görmezden gelinmeyi ve dünyanın seçici merhametini anlatıyor. Bazı acılar günlerce konuşulurken bazılarının sessizce unutulması! insanın içine oturan taraflardan biri.
Kitabı okurken duyduğum his ise; İnsanlık olan biteni durduramadığı için değil, alıştığı için susuyor olabilir mi?
Öfke, hüzün, çaresizlik ve vicdan sorgusu aynı satırlarda buluşuyor. Ağır ilerleyen ama düşündürdüğü şey uzun süre etkisini koruyan bir kitaptı.
Savaşın sadece şehirleri değil, insanların geçmişini, çocukluğunu ve aidiyet duygusunu da yok ettiğini hissettiren bir roman
İnsanlık neden böyle davranıyor?
Acılar neden seçilerek önemseniyor?
Tarih geçince herkes neden masum görünmeye çalışıyor?
Yazarın asıl sorguladığı şey;savaş kadar sessizlik ve görmezden gelmek.
@nepalkitap çok güzel bir esere imza atmış

This book is a collection of poems that captures ordinary emotions with a powerful voice.
There are no grand events here; just love, loneliness, memory and the quiet passage of time. Some lines make you pause and reread them without even realizing it.
Definitely it's a one sitting read book, but also the kind of book you want to take slowly and absorb the poems.
