The age of innocence is one of the American classical novels, documenting an important era of the 19th-Newyork society. The novel is full of detailed description of the New Yorker society : its tradition, customs, manners and etiquette. The description is so vivid that you feel you are living among them. Wharton tells us what does it…… Continue reading الكتاب الواحد والأربعون: رواية ”عصر البراءة” للكاتبة إيدث وارتون

Read this book only if you have a high sense of humor…and not so sensitive ! Brosh, as many well-aquinted with her blog, approaches serious topics like depression satirically. Her comics is based on events from her life. Her book is interesting and so funny though is some parts you might feel weird. This kind of book…… Continue reading الكتاب الأربعون: كتاب ”Hyperbole and a Half” للكاتبة Allie Brosh

So, so sweet…so freaking sweeeeeeeeet ! I loved this story! Rice shows what does it mean to be in love? and what is actually love? It is a story of Rice herself with her husband. It shows the journey those in love set on together. She explains that love is not saying “I love you” everyday;…… Continue reading الكتاب التاسع والثلاثون: القصة المصورة ”Soppy: A Love Story” للكاتبة Philippa Rice

Guess what? another recommendation by my lovely Mahoshy. The dedication of the book sums up the theme of this lovely book: “To those fighting their own giants, you’re stronger than you think.” A great message not only for young, but for adults, too. Have you ever felt that you are weak in the face of…… Continue reading الكتاب الثامن والثلاثون: الكتاب المصور ”I kill Giants” للكاتبة Joe Kelly

My new goal is to read all Rowell’s novels…. which means that I’m in LOVE with her books ! 🙂 Rowell chooses stories that talk about everyone of us. Her characters are real…their struggle, adventures, happiness, and sadness are the same struggles, adventures, happiness and sadness we go through in our lives. Reading her novels doesn’t bring…… Continue reading الكتاب السابع والثلاثون: رواية ” Landline” للكاتبة Rainbow Rowell

What a waste of time ! A pointless book. I could come up with only two reasons behind her writing this book…I want to be famous…I want money! There is nothing wrong with wanting the two…but one deserve them when they actually do -or in this case write- something ! This book adds NOTHING to the…… Continue reading الكتاب السادس والثلاثون: كتاب ” Dream New Dreams” للكاتبة Jai Pausch

And here is another novel by Markus Zusak. And yes another beautiful book. This time we are not in war. we are in the modern world, with young characters who struggle to make sense of this fragmented world. Like in “The Book Thief,” the character behind all the actions is a kind of an angelic figure;…… Continue reading الكتاب الخامس والثلاثون: رواية ” I am the Messenger” للكاتب Markus Zusak

I enjoyed reading this book. The story’s main focus is not the plot, but the witty remarks and observations of its protagonist, Prof. Bates. The protagonist is a down to earth man; his retired lifestyle resembles many of his peers: the happy first months, then the succumbence to the empty sometimes boring routine. The author…… Continue reading الكتاب الرابع والثلاثون: رواية “Deaf Sentence” للكاتب David Lodge

شعرت بالخوف عندما قرأت الصفحات الأولى من الرواية ! سيناريو مؤلم ومخيف لما قد يحدث إذا ما استمررنا بإنكار ما يجري أمام أعيننا نسمع الرواية بدون أن نعرف اسم الرواي، كرمزية إلى أن الرواي الذي يسعى لترميم وطنه وإعادة لحمته هو كل شاب كويتي…قد يكون أنت أو أنت…بلا تصنيف…الكويت وطنهم جميعا. من البداية نعيش في…… Continue reading الكتاب الثالث والثلاثون: رواية “فئران أمي حصة” للكاتب سعود السنعوسي

I bought this novel when I knew it won Goodreads’s award choice for Young Adult genre. I’m completely disappointed ! I couldn’t like one thing in this novel. The characters are so so shallow and the storyline is monotonous; not only that, but even the dialogue is simplistic and lack depth. Even the descriptive part of the story…… Continue reading الكتاب الثاني والثلاثون: رواية “We were Liars” للكاتبة E. Lockhart
