Reading witcher in english is fascinating. Even though its translated directly from Polish, English sometimes flattens the raw, gritty Slavic wit, but the dark atmosphere still punches through. I love how this book tears down pretty fairy tales. It shows a magical world ruined by ugly human realities such as injustice, racism, and violence. It proves that no matter the universe, human nature always brings the same disgusting problems. Since I’ve played all the games, I didn't have to build this world from scratch. I felt like I was returning home, totally immersed from page one. Plus, every character is so distinct you instantly adopt them. Dandelion, especially, is brilliant, his dramatic bard energy perfectly balances the grim reality. The core of the book for me is Geralt. He acts like a heartless mutant who only kills for coin, forcing himself to believe he has no feelings because society expects him to be cold. But underneath, he is incredibly soft hearted. I related to him deeply. People often call me emotionless too. But I know how much I actually care. When it matters, sometimes I act way more thoughtful and genuinely considerate than the people who constantly brag about how sensitive they are. Like Geralt, being guarded doesn't mean you don't feel. Some dislike that this is just a collection of scattered short stories, but I think it’s the perfect, low pressure gateway into the universe. It’s a fun, easy read that makes you feel both the darkness of the world and the hidden warmth of its hero.
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

I like not knowing about some things. Yes. I like it. Because it feels comfortable to me. I take refuge in the comfort of saying "I don't know." I read the Elephant Man story for the first time in this book. But I didn't know it was a famous story and based on a true event. Absolutely. So I'm glad I read it without knowing anything about it. Because it didn't affect my feelings.
I did a simple reading and I have simple feelings. Not exaggerated. The Elephant Man was a human and never a creature. Monster or creature. He was human. What about the other people? They are prejudiced. As always. I think the real creatures are the other people. Because they wounded a wounded person again and again. That evil requires having an evil heart. Right? Clear... Apart from that. The book is very easy to read because when I didn't know a word, I looked up its meaning on the next page. It was very comfortable. I didn't use a dictionary. Besides, this was a first-level reading. Beginner level. I will watch the movie. Of course, I will watch it in English. Because I made a promise to Professor Akif. Just like he promised Fuat Sezgin.
I know I'll always be grateful to him. That's it. That's all I know.
I had a crazy idea today. I've been reading Harry Potter for 23 years. It's time I started reading it in English. That's real magic!

First of all, it was an easy and comfortable book to read, and it had everything you would expect from a romance novel. The characters constantly running into each other, the male main character always being the one who saves the woman, those moments where the female character is like “I don’t depend on a man, look, I’m strong too,” and the fact that they immediately fell for each other from the very first moment they saw each other — it had all of those things. The girl loving luxury but also having those “I’m not like that” moments was there too. Even the way they acted like teenagers experiencing love for the first time was included.
I was expecting something more interesting, especially since the main character was supposedly bisexual, but she basically fell for the first handsome and rich man she saw. I didn’t like any of the characters. Honestly, it was obvious how the ending would go. They were either going to get married or he was going to propose, and that unnecessary breakup scene the author added just to create some drama was so pointless.
It was nice to read something that reflected Armenian culture, and the book has an English level that flows easily and doesn’t make the reader struggle too much. But aside from that, I feel like something was missing. It could have been much better.
It’s readable, but I don’t think it’s a book that should be taken too seriously. In my opinion, it was just a very light, “snackable” read.
İlk olarak okunması rahat bir kitaptı ve bir romantik kitapta bulunacak her şey vardı. Karakterlerin her daim denk gelmesi, çoğu zaman ana erkek karakterin hep kadını kurtarması ve arada benim kadın karakterim bir erkeğe bağlı değil, bakın o da çok güçlü denilen anları ve birbirlerini gördükleri ilk andan itibaren hemen birbirlerine
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.
It was the most interesting book I've ever read. I especially liked the ending. I was taken aback and loved it. The fact that the character is so intelligent is a perfect detail.
