Pretty

Scott Westerfeld

Simon Pulse, 2007

Extra Good
Pros: An original, believable concept, great characters. Cons: Ending is a bit of a let down. I was a bit reluctant to read this book, as I thought that Westerfield's last attempt, Specials, was the weakest in the series. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the series ...

All the Pretty Horses

Cormac Mccarthy

Vintage, 1993

Definitely a Acquired Taste
I have looked at some of the reviews here, and am a bit surprised as the number of people who hated this book. It is a challenge to read, but this is no "Ulysses." The main themes can be understood with a little careful attention. Some have compared McCarthy's style to ...

I think it is a very useful book for Turkish learners.
