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.

The Duff

2/5
it was a big disappointment to me, the story is so naive you can predict what is going to happen way before it does

زيارة للجنة والنار
مصطفى محمود
3/5 stars



رواية اخرى لمصطفى محمود، لو كانت هذه أول قراءة له لكنت بالتأكيد أضع لهذا الكتاب أكثر من 3 نجوم.

الرواية جميلة وللأسف يغلبها التكرار وخصوصًا في الكتب اللي قرأتها من قبل، - لربما يكون هذا مؤشر لي لأتوقف؟ - ويعيبها استخدامه للهجة المصرية كثيرًا مما يضايقني، - ليس كرهًا للهجة ولكنّي أفضل أن اقرأ للفصحى -.

Divergent
by Veronica Roth

4.5/5


I loved this novel!

In a city, the people are divided into 5 fractions. The fractions are divided according to certain virtues: braveness, selflessness, honesty, peacefulness, and intelligence. Every year all 16 years olds must go through this test that determines which fraction they belong to. The story is about a girl that finds herself lost in making a choice because leaving her fraction would mean betraying her family and staying there would mean she has to be someone she isn't.

The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


A gruesome short story, good for a quick read if you're stuck at college for no reason whatsoever. Or, you know, on a train or a plane or a car or in a waiting room or something. But, stuck at college I am, and mention it in this review I shall.

Anyway. Classic Edgar Allen Poe, you won't be disappointed.
