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.

قصة لا تنتهي
أحمد خالد توفيق
4/5 stars



واو؟ يب.

رابع كتاب ومازلت أنبهر بـ الدكتور أحمد توفيق، هذي بداية سلسلة جميلة إن شاءالله!

الرواية جميلة جدًّا وكانت سريعة نوعًا ما وتركت بعض التفاصيل لكنها وصفت الشخصيات بشكل جميل وواضح. أتوقع أن الكاتب لم يفصّل بشكل كامل لإنه مازال هناك أكثر من 50 كتابًا!

عجبتني الفكرة والجهاز دي جي 01، وأتمنى أن لا تكون الروايات القادمة مجرد تكملة بسيطة بدون صعوبات وفروقات ثقيلة تحصل.

لربما ما جعلني أنقصه نجمة هو ضعف القصة البوليسية الموجودة والتي لا تليق بتاريخ أعظم كاتبين بوليسيين في التاريخ، ولكن غير ذلك تبقى الرواية جميلة جدًّا وتستاهل القراءة.

Book: An Abundance of Katherines
By: John Green
3/5

My fourth Green book and the only one that disappointed me. Maybe reading it after TFiOS wasn't fair, but unlike his other books, there was no major twist in the plot and everything was predictable. However, I did enjoy the book and the characters, especially Hassan and his "kafir" friend with his geeky math theory and anagramming hobby.
I hated how the formatted Kindle book had lots of broken words.

Book: Tiger Lily

Finished Date: 12.Nov.2012
Rating: ★★★
Review:

≈ This is a Peter Pan retelling. I wasn't a big fan of Peter Pan & I don't know his story to begin with. So, I didn't know what to expect with this. It started to be enjoyable but I found the POV from Tinker Bell, yes different but a little weird for my taste. Mostly enjoyable I'd say but not a WOW kinda book for me. ≈

صناعة جيل الرواد
by عبد الله العبد المنعم

3.5/5

الكتاب جيب على سؤال "كيف أنهض بأمتي؟" لأن الأمة بحاجة إلى جيل ينهض بها يعطيك الكاتب دروس تعتبر منها، ونصائح وخطوات تطبقها، وحقائق تتعلمها حتى تكون فرد يعمل على نهضة أمته وليس متفرج فقط.

Death Bringer by Derek Landy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This one's a bit of a muddle with everything in the story trying to happen at once. And I really really hope Derek Landy isn't trying to pave the way for a valkyrie/skulduggery ship, because, no. Just no.

Oh, and, China. Unholy crap is that woman badass. I hated her in the beginning but now I really look forward to her parts in the book.
