52 Books in 52 Weeks (2012) discussion

"In this thread, everyone will post their reviews/opinions of the book they have read this week AFTER you rate/review it on your page. The purpose of this is so everyone can see what you read this week and read your review without having to visit each profile. Some of you have their profiles locked, so this saves you the trouble of unlocking it.

ANY COMMENTS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THAT MATTER WILL BE DELETED.

The format will be like this:

Name of book.
Author.
n/5 stars.

"Your simple opinion/extended review/one word that expresses what you thought of the book. GO CRAZY! Anything counts. Don't feel pressured."

Link to your review.

Also, this allows us to be organized, so even if a member didn't log in for about a month, they can add the book they've read to the appropriate thread.

THANK YOU ALL!


EDIT:
As I've mentioned in the guidelines, one word or a simple opinion counts as a 'review'. I only called it that because Goodreads calls it that."


Now let's see your achievements, awesome people.

قصاصات قابلة للحرق
أحمد خالد توفيق
4/5 stars



ماشاء الله تبارك الله، كل مالي أحترم هذا الرجل حتى أكاد أن أعلنه من المفضلين لي بعد كتابين فقط!

جميلة القصاصات، ولا تستاهل الحرق ولكن التوزيع والطبع والتعليق في كل الجدران! أسلوب سخري جميل وخفيف وقصاصات على الجرح.

كنت قد قرأت كتاب لـ محمد الرطيان بنفس هذه الطريقة، كلاهما في نفس المستوى بالنسبة لي، ولو كنت أرجح كفّة الأول لأنه مسّ قضايا تخص مجتمعنا بشكل أكبر، ولكن مازال هذا الكتاب من أجمل ما قرأت.

50 Shades of Grey
E.L.James
2/5
Cheap writing it feels like a horny teenager wrote it not a 50 something old woman.

جدد حياتك

٤/٥

الكتاب يربط تعاليم الدين الإسلامي بأمور توصل إليها الغربيون.
يقتبس كثيرا لديل كارنيجي ويقتبس من مختلف الأديان.

The Faceless Ones by Derek Landy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I read books 2-5 in one sitting covering a two day span back in April, but I've just only gotten around to reviewing them.

Anyway, I love Skulduggery Pleasant. Valkyrie is an interesting heroine, has yet to show herself as a brat, and the skeleton detective is, as always, very witty and charming.

This particular addition had a lot of action. The ending was a bit horrific, I'm glad I had the next book at hand or I might have hated the suspense.

Great series, I definitely recommend it.
