The book was really short.So it’s different and no good. I enjoy reading it but sometimes I felt like I’m missing parts but it was what the book’s like. However,it was entertaining and cute but the points I stated. I wouldn’t highly recommend it but if you like to read a cute but not long story you might wanna try.Good wishes!

Mortimer's Graffiti

The book told "a short slice" of the life of a boy who stutters on "M". But mentioned many things in this short story. It included adolescence, family problems and even love. It's end was unpredictable and I think it didn't completed well. But it was not an awful story. I might recommend it.

After they spend some time together they leave,and he gives his p money to the Jenny.Long story short,even he is a idiot, he tries to do the right thing.In my point of view,the story was great and it made me upset when he met his son.But over all, i liked the story.

Far From the Madding Crowd

stubabayram — 2024-03-31 12:52:40 UTC

The book is about the girl’s love story who is young, beautiful and proud. Our main character is an independent woman, and pleased with this fact. She doesn’t think that she needs to get married, or will ever. But she doesn’t know that things will change soon and she will have to face with the misery, pain and violent passions that love brings… I liked that, in this book, love is not described as a wonderful thing all the time, and can destroy lives. But no matter what happens, it is still the only thing which can bring people together again. But I really didn’t like the fact that the main character is SO vain, and most of the time, she makes wrong and foolish decisions which will ruin not just her life, but the other characters’ lives, too. Before reading it, my expectations were so high because of the back cover text. But when I started to read it, I was disappointed that I didn’t want to go on reading anymore, but I continued and it was better than I thought it would be. So, overall, I think it was a good book. I recommend it if you are interested in such stories, or my review caught your attention.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

burcusevimk — 2024-04-02 13:42:42 UTC

When ı saw this book and scan the backside ı’m persuaded that this has a gripping plot. While ı was reading sometimes my mind kept wandering but this doesn’t mean it is heavy going book. If we come to the plot there is a villian character which everybody loathes that person name is Mr. Hyde. There isn’t anyone who doesn’t approve Mr. Hyde. This evil person always went to the Dr. Jeklly’s lab at nights. Apparently, Dr. Jekyll is linked to that persın. Everybody keept wondering why Dr. Jekyll allowed Mr Hyde, while holl society approach this person dismissively. Dr lanyon seek to learn insight into that situation. the end of the story was fulfilling and unpredictable. If you want to curl up with a book Dr jekyll and Mr hyde is probably proper to you. Because you don’t have to delve deep into this book. But if you want to expand your vocabulary this doesn’t elevate that skill set :)

The Maze Runner 1

burcusevimk — 2024-04-17 18:03:48 UTC

I read that in turkish version. When ı came across english version at the library ıt was hard to resis to read again. While ı was reading my mind kept wandering. After ı read basic english story book ı was tuned into that it because of my disability. So, it’s not a heavy going even though it’s sophisticated language. Anywasys lets talk about the plot. In this story we have a lot of boys in area. And they had ended up theirself in an elevator which takes them to that field. Moreover, they don’t remember their past life except their names. In this area there is a massive field that they cohabit and behind the walls there is a maze. Before the sunset they(sone of them)are going to explore and figure out the maze. While the runner, who are figuring out the maze, battling out with their escapism out od this land. The others are doing their daily chores. They are operating. And we read about what happened after this pattern was broken and the outcomes of it. I was appealing to read that book this was worth reading. It’s bound to expand your vocabulary a lot. I hope this encourages you to willingly read itttttt :)

Sense and Sensebility

burcusevimk — 2024-04-25 17:28:15 UTC

Well,actually ı sellected this because of attractive cover. I had excepted here is a rich family who are always accusing of themselves and are having row. However, the plot is largeley about two siblings who obstacle with typical daily life issues. These two siblings are compelety different from each other. And we are interfering in how they drifted into their love şife. This is not a book that you will aspire to these characters. But it has a cozy atmosphere. Even there are some row that makes a story book more captivating. And it doesn’t have a sophisticated language. What ı mean with this is, ı don’t reckon that there are so many words which you don’t know. I estimate you wouldn’t find this novel as a gripping plot

The Great Expectations

legolasaliha — 2024-05-06 21:52:55 UTC

This is a book about a boys complicated life. In the beginning we see this orphan boy named pip in his miserable life trying to escape his sister's rage and one day a prisoner enters his life in a threatful way. The boy grows faces with a lot of roughness through his life and never minds the prisoner for like ten years. But one day when he was an apprentice near his brother-in-law a lawyer cames and offers him a great opportunity. The lawyer offers him the chance to be a well educated gentleman. He accepts this because he wants to attract his love of life,a cruel girl; Estella. He goes to London to make Estella love him but when they finally meet thanks to an old lady who is connected with them the girl says I can't love anyone because I raised that way. By the way the woman who raised Estella is this old lady whose name is miss havisham. Miss havisham is kind of a psychopath she literally raised a little girl to break all men's hearts because she had dumped in her wedding day. Yes I know it is crazy. Anyway after Estella's refusal to pip he turns back to misery and feels the pain of love. Then some complications occurs. I am afraid I am not going to be able to express this events clearly because the book literally turned into a turkish soup opera! It turned out that everyone is related and I really couldn't catch it. But in the and Estella made a convenience marriage but her husband died. Pip moved on with his life and married with his old housekeeper irrelevantly🤷🏿‍♀️ Estella's real family founded and she became friends with pip. About my opinions... I really liked the shocking plot twists and they were like in every page. I've never seen such a book in my life yani😀 I need to admit that plot was really confusing but it gave a different vibe so I will not criticize it. Overall it was a gripping book with some complications so I gave this book 4 out of 5🙃🙃🙃

Night Without End

zeynepceylan262 — 2024-05-07 17:20:44 UTC

This was a book which I struggled to put down due to its captivaring story.Actually the bookcover made me expect something heavy-going and boring.However,it was not The book started floading by the time I started reading.I literally cuddled up with it.The story is mainly about the survival of the passengers of a crashed plane.They need to survive on the polar ice-cap,but with some killers among them.All in all, I can recommend this book without hesitation.I am sure you won't regret reading it.

The big four

burcusevimk — 2024-05-17 09:47:21 UTC

First of all,the big four is a crime story book sı it’s not that heavy-going. İf you’re complaining about not beeing able to delve into a book, ı recommend you read Agatha Christie’ book. Because you always fall for some speculations but in the end it takes your breath away with the truth. In this book this Hercule Poirot, who always came up with cunning way to figure out the truth,in this role. I really like to rub shoulders with people namely, poirot. The story of that book is, there isn’t just one person who is suspicious, there is a group,the big four, and they are commit some crime. And there is a suprising part.The reason ı choose that book İs that Hercule poirot brings out someone who catchesreader attention. One more thing that ı want to mention. You can stumble upon vocabulary that you had learned even though the book looks intimidating.

The Wizard of Oz

baydurbahar89_ — 2024-05-27 10:19:41 UTC

L. Frank Baum

The book is about the classic story of The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy ,who lives in Kansas where there are no witches or wizards, accidentally blows in to another universe with her dog and there she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emrald City to find The Wizard of Oz and ask for help. The plot was interesting but I found the book too superficial. It could have been more detailed and longer. Also the images used were childish. Even though I hated the cover I give this book 6 out of 10.

Cry freedom

burcusevimk — 2024-05-28 18:21:24 UTC

This life is a real life story which also has a film. The topic of the book is trying to stand up against racism in the South Africa. The protagonists are Biko and Wood. Biko is a negro and he was journalist who is suffering from the unfair law between black and white people. Wood is a south african journalist who met with Biko and he was influenced by his ideas against the government. Moreover after the Biko’s death, Donald Wood started to continue this rioting. However the government notices this strike and then Wood is forced to leave South Africa. Qfter he started publicly opposing the rogime. The book ends with his escapism. In order to get round this strike and awareness the book was written and film was shouted.

Treasure Island

zeynepceylan262 — 2024-05-28 20:16:28 UTC

This book was a bit complicated for me at the beginning.I was able to understand everything when I reached the end of the book which is sad :( Anyways as you can understand from the name of the book apparently the plot is about an island which includes a treasure in :) There are some people who dedicates their time for the aim of finding a treasure.During their voyage they face with some obstacles and they try to overcome them.I can suggest this book but do not forget to read carefully otherwise it will be difficult to figure out the events happening and the characters who appear suddenly :D

The wizard of oz

serracok0909 — 2024-06-06 18:25:27 UTC

Its a book which nearly every teen has read. I read the Turkish version for nearly 3 times. It was really page turner so I wanted to read it in English once. I love reading these kinds of books and I really love the story which these kind of book tells. Every character have a meaning and they try to emphasize a attitude. We understand the meaning and value of them. I think they really educate childrens! I recommend you to read if you still haven't read this excellent book!

The enemy

serracok0909 — 2024-06-06 18:33:28 UTC

I found the language and the events complicated. For me, it started suddenly and at first i didn't understand what i was reading. But still, it was really good. After some chapters, I noticed that I was immersed in the book while i was reading rest of the book. Like i said before, i love reading dedective and murder books. The enemy fits perfectly to my defination!
