Fantastic book! The suspense never lets up from the first page all the way to the last period. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that you have to get about a third of the way through the book before you finally come across the actual plot. But once you get there, it's impossible to put down!

Great story- main character, Emmaline, is so strong and pure as a character. I loved her loyalty, love and dedication to her brother. I also learned a lot about life during the Industrial Revolution in England- grim time for the poor and hard working. Deplorable condtions. Excellent story.
The HEART OF DARKNESS is a frame story. The outside frame consists of four men sailing on the Thames on a boat called the “Nellie.”The narrator of this part of the story, one of the four men, turns the story over to one of the other men, Marlow, who speaks for most of this short novel. He describes how he was hired by a company trading in ivory to retrieve one of their agents from the heart of the Congo—a man named Kurtz. Before Marlow describes his adventure, the Thames is identified as the river used by the Romans when they came to subjugate and exploit the barbaric tribes living in what would eventually be called England. This brilliant irony is meant to parallel the contemporary English and their exploitation of the blacks in the Congo to the Romans and the ancient English. Marlow’s spoken account describes a descent into darkness. The superior technology of the English Europeans (guns, steamboat, machines) is used to exploit the ivory trade and subjugate the natives—who are variously referred to as savages, cannibals, devils, and the “N” word. I couldn’t disagree more with those who claim that this novella is racist. It is a depiction of racism--much like HUCKLEBERRY FINN--at the end of the 19th century in England and Europe. When Marlow eventually finds Kurtz, after a harrowing steamboat trip down the Congo, he is horrified. The man has made himself into a god for the natives, has killed and beheaded enemy tribesmen, and essentially become more savage than the savages. The interior of the Congo is literally the heart of darkness (the impenetrable, foreboding jungle), Kurtz has a heart of darkness, and the allusion to the Romans at the outset suggests that all humanity possesses this defect, which shows up in generation after generation. I found the novel to be an inspired indictment of European colonialism and an extended metaphor for human evil. I downloaded this for free to my Kindle and read it in two days.

17. This book...wow. That's all I gotta say. It made me think, it made me cry, it made me angry... I loved every page of this book. I loved that the author didn't spell things out, but wrote so simply and elegantly that the reader easily reads between the lines.

Good, fast read. Interesting story. It wasn't clear until the end which "Mike" Beau chose.

This is the 5th book in the Rachel Morgan series. I actually found this book on MySpace books and bought it before realizing that it was in a series. Regardless it stands well enough on its own and was a fun read. If you're tired of the Anita Blake vampire hunter series (and it's downward spiral into trashy romance novels), then definitely pick up this series from Kim Hamilton. My suggestion, though, would be to start with the first book in the series entitled, " Dead Witch Walking." On a side note, every one of the books in the series is a play on the name of Clint Eastwood movies.

I love sci-fi, and this book is one of the only reasons why I still think that Stephenie Meyer is an okay author. I really liked it, but it seemed out of character for its author.

This book is so touching! Very romantic, but also heart-breaking. I love it, and the movie is really good, too. New favorite movie.
Even if you are not a fan of Billy Beane/Oakland and are not completely convinced by the "Moneyball" theory, it's worth reading: an original and quite entertaining take on major league baseball, most of the statements and maxims applicable to the entire universe of pro sports (and life in general?)

Bu kitap harika bir edebiyat değil, zorlayıcı bir okuma. O güçlü bir hikaye anlatıcısı ve kendimi bırakmakta tereddüt ettim.
