dlouho jsem se neozývala, já vím, ale měla jsem toho poněkud moc. Teď mám trošku volna, než se přesunu zpátky do ČR a začne mi semestr. Tak jsem se rozhodla opět sem hodit nějaký článek.<br />
<br />
Tentokrát trošku netradiční. Proč? Protože jsem se trošku nudila a nevím proč, ale napadlo mě zpracovat si takovou menší statistiku toho, kolik přibližně čtu knížek v cizím jazyce. Převážně tedy v angličtině. Ačkoli se musím přiznat (no možná trošku pochlubit), že jsem se ke konci roku 2015 rozhodla tu četbu v cizím jazyce rozšířit. A tak jsem přelouskala knížku ve španělštině- konkrétně šlo o Malého prince. A taky jsem četla asi poprvé od doby, co mám goodreads ve slovenštině :D.<br />
<br />
No a teď už k té mojí statistice. :D<br />

<br />
<i><b>Abstract (from GR)</b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Libby Garrett is addicted to Owen Jackson's hot lovin'. But the sexy, popular college basketball player doesn't appreciate all of Libby's awesomeness. He refuses to be exclusive or even admit to people that they're dating. The relationship is ruining Libby and she's the only one who can't see it.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Libby's behavior spirals completely out of control, her best friend Avery Shaw and the rest of the Science Squad stage an intervention hoping to cure Libby of her harmful Owen addiction. They put her through her very own Twelve Step program—Owen's Anonymous—and recruit the help of a sexy, broody, hard as nails coffee man to be her official sponsor.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adam Koepp has watched Libby Garrett for years. How could he not notice the sassy girl with the purple skateboard and helmet plastered with cat stickers? But in all the years he's crushed on her, Libby has failed to take notice of him. Why would she when he was just a nobody high school drop out who served her apple cider several times a week? Especially when she was hooking up with a guy like Owen Jackson—a guy with a college scholarship and more abs than Kyle Hamilton.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adam finally gets the chance to meet Libby when his co-worker Avery Shaw recruits him to take Libby on the journey of a lifetime. With his ability to play Bad Cop and his experience with the Twelve Step program he's the perfect candidate to be Libby's sponsor. But will he be able to keep his personal feelings out of the matter and really help her the way she needs? And will Libby hate him when he forces her to take an honest look at herself?</div>
<br />
<i><b>Review </b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Libby Garet Intervention is free sequel of The Avery Shaw Experiment. You can read it separately, but be ready that in Libby there is Avery and her geek team in a bit important role, also some events are mentioned. But I don't thik they're esentially for understanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The storyline is mainly about Libby and her relationship with Owen, which change Libby's behaving to her friends. She doesn't care about them as she used to, and when the cup of their patient is broken they decided to let her know about their feelings. Or at least the main initiator is Libby's best friend Avery, who had been witness to Libby's last fault. Adam- Avery's boss, who also withnessed the Libby's last escapade, came with idea and Avery diceded to realize it with his help. And the story of likeing ourself in a way we are can start.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I didn't know him, and half the time I didn¨t even like him, but the thought of letting him down right now was too much. "Easier said than done," I muttered, turning my eyes to the half -pipe where the first finalist was makin his descent.</i> </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beggining is a bit unKelly's, but still has her easy reading style. Main character as usually has good sense of humor (at least for me), so during the book you'll be smile a lot. But I may say that they are a bit more complicated than I'm used to from the author.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are lot's of characters which I immediately liked e.g. Kate- Adam's sister, Josiah- Adam's boss or Libby's father. Some of them is really difficult not to like.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"As my spiritual guide in this journey, and the future restorer of my sanity, I, Elizabeth Ruby Garett, have made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of my Higher Power as I understan it- again, that would be you."</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most important character overall is Adam. He has a history, which makes his perosnality. But he also has his own feelings. He doesn't care to much what others thinking about him (ok it has borders), he's not a shallow. But kind of he is too "good" person and sometimes it hurts him.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>He was such a different guy than anyone I'd ever met. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't understand him. He was a cunundrum. An intriguing, sexy, sometimes-annoying-but-still-very-likable mystery</i> </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is not difficult reading for thinking and analyzing everything, it's more for relaxing whiles. So don't expect somethin big and unexpected happening. Even if there can be few things which can surprice you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also had the feeling, that this book is for a little bit older peple than the Avery, so if you think Avery is too childish for you, you may feel more satisfied with Libby. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the end I evaluate the book with 75 %. Nice to read, get nice story and relax.<br />

<i><b>Abstract (from GR)</b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nineteen year old Joni is loving life as an adult—living on her own, dealing with grown-up things like jobs, hook-ups, and doing her own laundry. Best of all: after finishing her first year at ASU, she will never again be called a freshman.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But when her brother is suddenly killed in a car accident, Joni’s adult life is turned upside down. Struggling to cope with loss, guilt, and anger—not to mention the meddling of friends and family trying to “fix” her—Joni is relieved to be presented with an escape in the form of a sailing trip her brother had been planning for months before he died.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With her first step onto the sailing vessel Lady Marguerite, Joni plunges into an adventure that will mark the beginning of her real adult life—a journey across the ominous dark blue of the Atlantic Ocean with a small, eccentric crew, and the young Captain Reid, whose gorgeous looks are only outmatched by his talent for care and kindness. Unfolding through the ups and downs of life at sea is an unforgettable story reminding us that love will always be a work-in-progress and coming of age never gets old.</div>

<i><b>Review </b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This book is first Kelly's book for older reader. It is not special only because of the different target group, but also she wrote this book together with her husband and the storyline is very untypical for her stories- ok kind of.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I stared at old rock band posters on my wall, and wondered if I would still go to a Tralse concert if they hadn't broken up.</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the beginning I had a bit problem to became absorbed in reading, firstly because of the different writing style than I'm used from Kelly but also because of the different topic of the book. But after few more pages it started to be very interesting and I couldn't stop to read.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story isn't sweet, happy, nice as usually. This one has also a bit dark side. Because of the death in the beginning and some other stuffs during the book. But still there is a super hot, sweet and nice boy, who you fall in love with immediately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still there is (at least for me) good sense of humor and comic situation. But also kind of surprising in a way I wouldn't expect to be. Especially in the half of the book.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I had two conflicting feelings then: First, a fleeting excitement at the prospect of perfect luxury for the next week or so- of all the trips Andrew could have planned, this was by far the most adaptable to my tastes. You know, because I'm sure he was thinking, "I better pick something Joni will like in case I die and she has to go in my place."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The characters are very realistic even with unbelievable acting (sometimes), experiences, but this makes people special and forming this story in the way it is. I'm just sorry, that in the book wasn't given bigger part to Andrew, 'cause I think he would be interesting character.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>For me, it was a surreal moment, a never-would-have-guessed-it night to follow a day that began across the country in a college dorm room, with familiar people and familiar routines. It was a moment of no going back. I was a moment... that abruptly ended when I unclipped the first bumper and, failing to grab it in time, watched it splash into the dark water and float away. Everybody got quiet. They stared at me. My brilliant explanation was, "The thing. It fell in." Scruchy face.</i> </div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sail was simly amazing. Some situation were wierd unrealistic, but nice in the storyline. A thing I learnt a lot of words related to sailing, more than I know in my native language. And for some there are even pictures. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To sum up. This was something very differnt from other Kelly's books, but I really like it. It was happy and sad, romantic, about family bounds and written in very good readable form. Simply special story. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Of course he does. The man's got a gift. He's like bacon- everything's better with it."</i></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, here we are folks. The final day of Science Geek Appreciation Week. And what a week it's been! We've read all about <i>The Avery Shaw Experiment,</i> revealed the cover and got a few teasers from <i>The Libby Garrett Intervention</i> releasing this October, we've gotten up close and personal with Science Squad author Kelly Oram, and we've invaded Avery's and Grayson's privacy by reading their journals.
We've partied on Facebook with games, teasers, bonus material, and giveaways. (The party's still going on, so stop by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/499243476890320/" target="_blank">FACEBOOK EVENT</a> and enter the giveaways before they're over.)
Hopefully you've all bought your copy of Avery at its Science Geek Appreciation price of just $0.99. I promise, it's worth the dollar! <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Shaw-Experiment-Kelly-Oram-ebook/dp/B00CMLBK9U/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1435868086&sr=1-1&keywords=the+avery+shaw+experiment" target="_blank">Amazon</a> * <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-avery-shaw-experiment/id994397764?mt=11" target="_blank">iBooks</a> * <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-avery-shaw-experiment-kelly-oram/1115240392?ean=9780985627768" target="_blank">B&N</a> * <a href="https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/the-avery-shaw-experiment" target="_blank">Kobo</a>. </b>And, of course, (fingers crossed) you've preordered your copy of Libby at the early bird sale price of $2.99.
It seems there's only one thing left to do, and that would be get a nice good look at <i>The Libby Garrett Intervention</i> in this first-ever sneak peek! </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Adam Koepp has watched Libby Garrett for years. How could he not notice the sassy girl with the purple skateboard and helmet plastered with cat stickers? But in all the years he's crushed on her, Libby has failed to take notice of him. Why would she when he was just a nobody high school drop out who served her apple cider several times a week? Especially when she was hooking up with a guy like Owen Jackson—a guy with a college scholarship and more abs than Kyle Hamilton.</span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Adam finally gets the chance to meet Libby when his co-worker Avery Shaw recruits him to take Libby on the journey of a lifetime. With his ability to play Bad Cop and his experience with the Twelve Step program he's the perfect candidate to be Libby's sponsor. But will he be able to keep his personal feelings out of the matter and really help her the way she needs? And will Libby hate him when he forces her to take an honest look at herself?</span>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(This excerpt hasn't been though it's final round of edits and is subject to change in the final draft.)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I love Avery, and I’m happy for her—she certainly deserves Grayson—but now her perception of reality is totally skewed. She thinks everyone has a fairy-tale ending coming to them. She doesn’t understand that most of us won’t be so lucky. Especially not someone like me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam kept his gaze on the window and let out a breath. “Someone like you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Yeah, someone like me. Fat girls don’t exactly get a lot of love.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">He pulled his eyes away from the view to glare at me for that one. I wasn’t sure what his problem was. It’s not like my weight was a secret. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Maybe I’m not three hundred pounds, but I’m definitely pushing it when I use the word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chubby</i>. In high school, that equates to being the fat girl, and, before you ask, I can’t just lose the weight. I have hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed when I was eleven because I became borderline diabetic. I’ve been on a strict diet and exercise program ever since so that I don’t develop more serious health problems. I’m actually in decent shape cardiovascularly speaking; I just can’t get rid of all the weight. This is as good as I will ever get.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam pulled his eyes away from the window and shifted his entire body so that he was facing me. “You don’t think you’ll ever find someone that loves you because you’ll never be thin?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I scoffed. “This is real life, not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hairspray</i>. There is no Link Larkin out there waiting for me. Don’t even try to tell me that there is. You know there’s not. It’s a miracle Owen even gives me the time of day.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">After pulling the beanie off his head to rake his hand through his hair, Adam slumped in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest, glaring out the windshield. I didn’t understand the mood swing. He’d seemed pretty chill when I first picked him up. Now he was back to being that stick-up-the-butt grump I first met. “What about Owen?” he asked suddenly. “He doesn’t seem to mind your weight.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Ha!” I clenched my hands so tightly on the steering wheel that my knuckles turned white. I’d been telling myself that same thing for a year, but that didn’t make it true. “Of course he does. That’s the biggest problem we have. He acts the way he does with me because he’s embarrassed of my looks. I always knew that, but I told myself it didn’t matter, because even if he was ashamed of his feelings for me, at least he had them.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam was appalled by my logic. “Are you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">serious?</i> The guy is ashamed of you, and you don’t think that matters?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">A surge of anger pulsed through me, but I managed to keep hold of my temper. “Of course it matters. Do you think I like that he won’t introduce me to any of his friends? I don’t. I hate it. He won’t even admit to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Grayson</i> that we’re dating. Do you know how that makes me feel?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Then why do you put up with it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Because it’s better than nothing. Which is what I have without Owen. No one has ever wanted me before. At all. In any way. Owen can be a jerk, but I know at least part of him cares about me. It’s not like he hooks up with me because I’m his only option. The guy is gorgeous, popular, and athletic. He can be with anyone he wants, but he still chooses to be with me. He <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">likes</i> being with me. He’s not a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">total</i> douche. He does appreciate my awesomeness. When we’re together and it’s just us, he can be so sweet. He makes me feel beautiful—desirable, special, wanted. I don’t get to feel like that any other time in my life, so I take the bad with the good.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I couldn’t believe I was having such an intimate conversation with this odd stranger, but it was surprisingly nice to be completely honest for once. “I can’t say no to Owen because I know that if I say yes, I’ll get to feel those things. The bad stuff will disappear and I’ll feel amazing, at least for a little while. And I’m afraid that if I don’t come when he calls, he’ll find someone else. I’m sure he sees other girls at college. Yes, I hate that, but what other choice do I have? If I push him away, then I’m back to having nobody. Without Owen, I’m back to being a lonely, fat nerd. I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The conversation died there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’d never been so honest with anyone before, not even Avery. I wasn’t sure how Adam got me to crack open like that, but I felt so exposed. I’d spent years building up the thickest skin a human being could possibly have, and somehow, in less than an hour, Adam broke right through all of my defenses. That scared me. Who was this guy? How did he get to me so easily? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam sat in silence on the other side of the car. I knew he was thinking about everything I’d just said. Knew he was putting it together with all the times we’d met so far, and forming a new opinion of me. I didn’t want to know what that might be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I drove us through the winding mountains, paying more attention to my crappy thoughts and feelings than the road. We were lucky I didn’t send us plummeting over the side of the canyon to our deaths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Believe it or not, I understand how you feel,” Adam said, breaking the long silence with his soft voice. “I know exactly what it’s like to be so desperate for someone’s affection that you’d let them destroy you just to win their approval.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">My chest tightened at his admission. It made me crazy with curiosity. Who had he loved so much that he could sound as full of despair as he did now? There was truth in his words, and whatever truth it was, it had been devastating to him. Was there more to Avery asking him for help than just his ability to play Bad Cop? He said we had something in common, but I couldn’t understand how a guy like him could ever be an outcast the way I am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“If you don’t let him go,” Adam said, pulling my attention back to the conversation, “he <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">will</i> destroy you eventually.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I had no doubt he was speaking from experience, but I didn’t ask, and he didn’t elaborate. He left me alone after that, and we spent the rest of the drive in silence. It wasn’t until we reached the ski resort and climbed out of the Escalade that he finally said, “You have to want it, Libby. Admitting that the relationship is unhealthy is a good start, but it isn’t enough. If you don’t genuinely <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">want</i> to give him up, then we’re wasting each other’s time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I wasn’t sure I’d ever fully want to give Owen up, but I didn’t want to let him keep using me, either. “What exactly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</i> we doing with each other, anyway?” I asked as I led Adam through the parking lot toward the mountain. “How do you plan to help me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Every twelve-step program is a journey. It’s actually a very spiritual experience for the person taking the steps. It requires a leap of faith. My job as your sponsor—so to say—is to take that leap with you and sort of guide you through the process. You’ll have to do all the work. I can’t take the steps for you, but I can show you the way. I’m here to hold your hand or give you a nudge when you need it, point you in the right direction if you can’t see clearly, and pick you up if you fall.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">We reached the base of the mountain and immediately hit a wall of people. The mountain was packed because it was the last weekend of the season, and it looked like the competition had also drawn quite a crowd as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I grabbed Adam’s hand tightly so that we wouldn’t get separated, and headed toward the halfpipe. Adam startled at my touch, but didn’t pull away. He looked down at our hands and then did that infuriatingly sexy thing where he raises one of his eyebrows at me, as if demanding an answer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Man, he could be so hot when he wanted. If I weren’t in such a hurry, I’d have stayed locked in that challenging stare with him until the snow melted. Unfortunately, there was no time to explore the tension that sometimes ignited between us. I rolled my eyes at him, pretending I wasn’t the least bit excited to be touching him, and started tugging him through the spectators. “Gotta move your honeybuns, Coffee Man. We’re late.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“You know,” he said lightly as he followed me through the crowd, “when I mentioned hand holding before, I was speaking metaphorically.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Well, that’s just too bad, because right now I need it in the literal sense. I don’t have time to lose you. It looks like they’ve already started, and I’ll be the worst daughter ever if I miss my dad’s first run.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam chuckled. Then, a few seconds later he relaxed his grip, shifting his hand in mine so that our fingers laced together. There was something intimate in the casual way he clung to me as we walked. It was as if he weren’t hanging on for the purpose of staying together, but rather holding my hand simply for the pleasure of it. The way a boyfriend would. The way Owen had never done. The way <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no one</i> had ever done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Libby Garrett is addicted to Owen Jackson's hot lovin'. But the sexy, popular college basketball player doesn't appreciate all of Libby's awesomeness. He refuses to be exclusive or even admit to people that they're dating. The relationship is ruining Libby and she's the only one who can't see it. </span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When Libby's behavior spirals completely out of control, her best friend Avery Shaw and the rest of the Science Squad stage an intervention hoping to cure Libby of her harmful Owen addiction.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Adam Koepp has watched Libby Garrett for years. How could he not notice the sassy girl with the purple skateboard and helmet plastered with cat stickers? But in all the years he's crushed on her, Libby has failed to take notice of him. Why would she when he was just a nobody high school drop out who served her apple cider several times a week? Especially when she was hooking up with a guy like Owen Jackson—a guy with a college scholarship and more abs than Kyle Hamilton.</span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Adam finally gets the chance to meet Libby when his co-worker Avery Shaw recruits him to take Libby on the journey of a lifetime. With his ability to play Bad Cop and his experience with the Twelve Step program he's the perfect candidate to be Libby's sponsor. But will he be able to keep his personal feelings out of the matter and really help her the way she needs? And will Libby hate him when he forces her to take an honest look at herself?</span>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Avery sighed. “This isn’t an attack, Libby, it’s an intervention.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">My head snapped Avery’s direction. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Homegirl says <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what</i>?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Avery smiled again, but this time it was full of determination. “You have a problem, Libby. We’ve all come here tonight because we love you and we’re worried about you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Okay, someone definitely cooked up something special in the chem lab or something. You’ve all officially gone mental. I’m not on drugs.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Avery shook her head. “But your relationship with Owen is just as destructive.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’d heard enough. “An <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">intervention</i>?” They were comparing me to a drug addict and saying Owen was my crack? “I came here to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">apologize</i> to all of you and this is what I get?” I jumped to my feet. “This is such equus ferus feces!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I bolted for the door and got about three steps before Adam intercepted me, blocking the way like a lean, tattoo-covered wall of attitude. He stood in a typical bouncer’s stance with his feet shoulder width apart and his arms folded across his chest. Though he wasn’t particularly tall or bulky, he was still intimidating. I glared up at him. “And you’re a gluteus maximus!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam’s face pulled into a frown and he looked to the group to translate. Aiden grinned. “That’s Libby speak for ‘This is horse shit’ and ‘You’re an ass’.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adam brought his gaze back to me, and I kept up my glare, refusing to take it back. I waited for him to flip out on me, but was shocked when his lips twitched as if he was fighting a smile. I had to be wrong, though, because there was no way this jerk had a sense of humor. “Get out of my way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">He face hardened again. “You sit that luscious little <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">gluteus maximus</i> of yours back down on that couch right now,” he said, “or I’ll put it there myself.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">It really does not happen often, but I was rendered completely speechless. I was also unable to move, save the way my eyes tripled in size as I gawked at him. He gave me a dry look and added, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Capisce, </i>Cider Chick<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">?</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">When I looked at Libby, she shrugged as though she was as helpless in this situation as I was. “Help me, Coffee-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was so Libby. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Okay.” I prayed I wasn’t making a huge mistake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Kate and Avery both squealed and pounced on me, giving me hugs. I was still wary, but their energy was contagious and I cracked a smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Thank you, Adam,” Avery said. “You really, really <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</i> the best. Is there any chance you could get started tomorrow? Libby managed to say no to Owen tonight, but if we don’t help keep her distracted tomorrow, she’s going to end up in his very expensive hotel suite tomorrow night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">And just like that, all my reservations about this disappeared. I was all in, and failure was not an option. Libby was never going to end up in that jerk’s bed ever again if I could help it. “Tomorrow’s as good a day as any. I’m off work at two.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Libby was already at the door trying to escape, but she stopped before turning the knob. “Actually, I need you ready to go at seven thirty in the morning. Avery already cleared it with your boss. He was more than happy to take your shift. He said he’s been trying to get you to take a vacation day for months.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">My head reared back. “You cleared my schedule tomorrow?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Libby looked me right in the eyes and grinned wickedly. The smile did something to my insides. “You’re <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mine</i> tomorrow, Coffee Man,” she purred jokingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I stopped breathing. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hers</i>. Yes. Yes I was. Heaven help me, but I was hers. This was so bad. If I wasn’t careful Libby Garrett was going to break me. I had to take control of this situation fast. I don’t know what kind of look I had on my face when I stalked across the room toward her, but her eyes widened and she backed up until she bumped into the door. “You’ve got that all wrong,” I said, placing my hand on the door beside her head, trapping her in front of me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’d meant to intimidate her a little, but when she sucked in a breath and shivered, I lost control again.

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">The state science fair is coming up and Avery decides to use her broken heart as the topic of her experiment. She’s going to find the cure. By forcing herself to experience the seven stages of grief through a series of social tests, she believes she will be able to get over Aiden Kennedy and make herself ready to love again. But she can’t do this experiment alone, and her partner (ex partner!) is the one who broke her heart. </span>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">Avery finds the solution to her troubles in the form of Aiden’s older brother Grayson. The gorgeous womanizer is about to be kicked off the school basketball team for failing physics. He’s in need of a good tutor and some serious extra credit. But when Avery recruits the lovable Grayson to be her “objective outside observer,” she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for, because Grayson has a theory of his own: Avery doesn’t need to grieve. She needs to live. And if there’s one thing Grayson Kennedy is good at, it’s living life to the fullest.</span>

<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I was so out of it that I’d slipped into the bathroom while Grayson was in the shower, and I didn’t even notice until he poked his head out from behind the curtain with a surprised look on his face. “Aves, babe, I’m a little busy here.” He cocked an eyebrow and gave me a crooked smile. “Unless you’re planning to join me...?” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Just then there was a loud knock on the door, and my mother’s worried voice called out to me. I looked up at Grayson and in a moment of sheer panic didn’t think twice before jumping behind the curtain with him. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Whoa! Avery! I was only teasing!” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I could hear Grayson, but I couldn’t really respond. I leaned my back against the cold tile wall and closed my eyes, letting the hot water rain down on me. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">There was another knock, louder this time, and then the door opened. “Avery? That you in here, sweetie?” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I frantically shook my head, praying that Grayson would do the right thing. </span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">“Sorry, Kaitlin. It’s just me.”</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
“Oh. Sorry, Grayson. I thought maybe you were Avery.” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Yeah, I get that a lot,” he teased.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span></div>

<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">My mom laughed and then sighed heavily. “If you see her after you’re done, tell her I’m looking for her.” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Will do.” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The door clicked shut and things got quiet. I stood there for so long that my head started to hurt and I got really dizzy. My knees buckled. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Grayson quickly caught me under the arms. “Avery, breathe,” he commanded. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I took a breath. As oxygen flooded my lungs, I realized it was probably the first breath I’d taken in minutes. Literally. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Aves,” a low steady voice said. I felt hands on either side of my face. </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">I opened my eyes, and Grayson’s beautiful piercing blue ones were staring down at me from just inches away, taking up my entire field of vision. “You good now?” he asked.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I may have been breathing, but I would never be “good” again. I flung my arms around him and began to release gut-wrenching sobs into his chest. </span></div>

<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I always looked at her as sort of a pesky little sister, but that all changed the day my brother dumped her. Why, </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">you ask? Let me put it this way: When a girl lets you be the one to hold her as her entire world falls apart, even though you’re </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">ass naked</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">, it changes the way you see her. </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">The soaking-wet, see-through t-shirt didn’t hurt, either.</span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">...</span>

<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“You look really nice,” I blurted, unable to hide my </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">surprise.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"> The compliment startled her. She blushed and looked </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">at her feet as she mumbled, “I need to blow my hair dry.”</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"> I grinned. “Don’t want to have to explain to anyone </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">how it got wet, eh?”</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"> She turned even brighter red but then glared at me. “I </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">just don’t want my hair to freeze.”</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"> I laughed as I threw my hands up in surrender and </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 12pt;">then laughed even harder when she stalked past me into the bathroom.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I leaned against the door and watched, curiously, as she dried her hair. There was something oddly fascinating about watching Little Avery Shaw primp. She’d never seemed like such a real girl to me before. She wasn’t so little anymore, either. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">She caught me staring at her in the mirror, so I quickly said, “I thought dorks were supposed to have bad hair and horrible, frumpy fashion senses.” </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Just because I enjoy learning doesn’t mean I’m a dork,” she said, insulted. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'AGaramondPro'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Two words for you Aves: science club.” </span>

Peter Byerly vlastně ani nevěděl, jak se dostal právě do tohoto antikvariátu. Před devíti měsíci jím otřásla smrt jeho milované manželky Amandy, přestěhoval se ze Severní Karolíny na anglický venkov a doufal, že se tu znovu vrátí ke svému koníčku – sbírání a restaurování vzácných tisků. Když však otevře svazek z 18. století o shakespearovských podvrzích, vypadne z něj – Amandin portrét! Přestože akvarel očividně pochází z viktoriánských časů, podobnost je tak neuvěřitelná, že Petera posedne myšlenka přijít záhadě na kloub. Pátrá po stopách obrazu v historii a nakonec objevuje knihu, která by mohla s jednoznačnou platností říci, zda Shakespeare opravdu byl autorem svých her. Brilantní román o lásce a vzácných knihách tak prozkoumává i jednu z nejdráždivějších literárních záhad všech dob.</div>

<b><i>Hodnocení</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dobrodružství milovníka knih je bezpochyby zajímavou knihou. Je to příběh jednoho "zamilovaného blázna", který je zároveň "bláznem do knih" především těch starých a cenných. Nicméně po smrti své manželky je k té své druhé lásce dost apatický, dokud nezavítá do antikvariátu, kde v jedné knize nenarazí na akvarel ženy, která se podobá jeho zesnulé ženě jako vejce vejci. Tento objev jeho apatii trochu otupí a začíná nám hon za nalezením původu obrazu.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kniha je rozdělena do kapitol. Přičemž kapitoly jsou uvozovány místem a časem. Setkáme se tak se s Peterem v současnosti, minulosti, ale třeba i se Shakespearem, jeho vrstevníky a dalšími body na časové přímce, které se autorovi hodily k vytvoření příběhu a zkoumané minulosti pro daný obrázek.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
V první části knihy je hodně v popředí samotný příběh hlavního hrdiny, v druhé části už se více soustředíme na jeho pátrání. V závěrečné čtvrtině už se jedná doslova o dobrodružství, kde jde i o život.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Polibky byly disciplinované, jako všechno na Amandě, a to se Peterovi líbilo. Ten rychlý polibek byl pro něj zlatým hřebem každého dne, ale kdyby se zamyslel na tím, kam by to mohlo vést a jak by to mohlo pokračovat, pak by ho ovládl strach z neznámého a narušil by se klid, který Amanda vnesla do jeho života. (str. 97)</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Všem lidem milujícím knihy bude hlavní hrdina nejspíš velmi blízký svou povahou- inteligentní ale introvertní se zápalem pro věc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ačkoli jsem si na počátku říkala, že jsem asi začala číst něco jiného než mi slibovala anotace- zase ta moje očekávání, já vím no- celkově se mi příběh líbil. Krásně spletitý, ačkoli od jistého okamžiku už se dalo docela snadno odhadnout vývoj a konec.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taky se mi líbila myšlenka zasazení příběhu na anglický venkov, ačkoli hlavní hrdina byl Amerečan. Bylo to takové příjemné ozvláštnění.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Na stole ležel otevřený zápisník v potrhané kožené vazbě. Philip v něm našel starý recept na inkoust, namíchal si ho a teď do něj namočil brk. Pero lehce klouzalo po papíru a vykreslovalo tvary písmen přesně podle vzoru, který si Philip před sebou opřel. (str.278) </i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nicméně konec příběhu už působil dosti přitaženě za vlasy a zdál se mi poněkud rychlý, jako by se autor snažil příběh co nejrychleji uzavřít a ukončit. I když na druhou stranu, by se dala kniha tak trošku přirovnat k Indianu Jonesi a spol. jen v knižním světě.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Konec konců kniha získává krásných<b> 75 % </b>a vřelé doporučení k přečtení. Obzvlášť pokud máte rádi Shakespeara (ačkoli toho tu zase příliš není) a honby za vyřešením záhad. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Románový debut dnes už známého Johna Greena je strhujícím vyprávěním o dospívání a hledání sama sebe. Šestnáctiletý Miles, posedlý sbíráním posledních slov významných osobností a touhou hledat „velké Možná“, je spíše outsiderem mezi svými vrstevníky. Jeho život získá zcela novou podobu, když přejde na internátní školu Culver Creek. Zde se rychle spřátelí se svérázným spolubydlícím a okouzlující, naprosto nepředvídatelnou Aljaškou Youngovou. Okamžitě je vtažen do světa, kde se porušují školní pravidla, pořádají různé večírky i provokace. Miles ožívá v dennodenním kontaktu s novými kamarády a stále víc miluje fascinující Aljašku. A tak vývoj směřuje k okamžiku, kdy se všechno nečekaně navždy změní... Živý, naléhavý a nekonečně dojemný příběh. Americkou knihovnickou asociací byl zařazen mezi deset nejlepších knih pro dospívající.</div>
<br />
<b>Hodnocení</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ke čtení jsem se dostala až po delší době a to hlavně díky své spolubydlící, která mi ji půjčila hned po tom, co jsem se po poslední zkoušce nudila a neměla co dělat. :)<br />
<br />
Aljaška je příběhem šestnáctiletého kluka Milese, trošku podivína, který chce najít své "velké Možná". Protože je na své státní škole úplným vyvrhelem, rozhodne se přestoupit na internátní školu, kterou navštěvoval jeho otec. A zde nám začíná příběh. Nalezení nových přátel a nových dobrodružštví. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>"Když to dostaneš ven, bude ti líp," schvalovala to Aljaška. Skončil, vstal a řekl: "Konečně jsem našel něco, co zastaví lišku. Přes Jahodový pole liška nepřejde."</i></b></div>
</blockquote>

<a href="http://data.bux.cz/book/003/591/0035912/large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://data.bux.cz/book/003/591/0035912/large.jpg" height="320" width="205" /></a></div>
První část knihy je vlastně jen o tom, jak se Miles "zabydluje" na Clver Creeku a poznává nové přátele. Plukovníka, Takumiho a především Aljašku.<br />
<br />
Každá postava postava má svá tajemství, některá temnější než jiná. Která si postupně rozkrýváme. Přesto tato část není až tak záživná, ačkoli tato skupinka přátel vyvádí různé lotroviny.<br />
<br />
Některé postavy působí přirozeně a reálně, ale jiné na mě působily až uměle a nereálně. Přesto si tu zcela jistě nějdete nějakou tu postavu, která se vám bude zamlouvat víc. <br />
<br />
Příběh se láme až v polovině, kdy už se nejedná jen o spoustu lotrovin. Děj tak dostává trošku temnější charakter.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>"Jo," řekl Takumi, "vím to." "Aha. A naštvalo tě to, ale pak jste se s Válečkěm společně osprchovali a všechno dobrý. No fajn. Takže ten večer...." pokračoval Plukovník.</b></blockquote>
Celkově je kniha pohodovým a oddechovým čtením. S typickým Greenovým humorem. Nakonec si toto příjemné čtení na léto ode mě vysluhuje <b>65 %</b>. <br />

<i><b> </b></i>Ačkoli jsou až na fyzickou podobu každá úplně jiná, Cath odjakživa sdílela se svým dvojčetem Wren všechno: oblečení, trápení s rodiči i vášeň pro knížky o mladém kouzelníkovi Simonu Snowovi. Jenomže teď obě nastupují na vysokou školu a Wren poprvé nechala Cath na holičkách – nechce s ní bydlet na koleji. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Potíž je v tom, že Cath na rozdíl od sestry není právě společensky zdatná. Jejím přirozeným prostředím je internet, kde se nemusí nikomu dívat z očí do očí a kde tisíce fanoušků nadšeně čtou její povídky ze světa Simona Snowa. A to je svět na hony vzdálený bludišti školních budov, v němž číhají nástrahy v podobě všech možných fobií, děsivých spolubydlících s neodbytnými kamarády a profesorek tvůrčího psaní, které o fanfikcích nechtějí ani slyšet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Co ale Cath zbývá, než zachovat klid a nedat se?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Hodnocení</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Musím přiznat, že se začtením do téhle knihy jsem měla trošku problém. Po pár stránkách jsem ji na 3 měsíce odložila. Ale pak jsem se k ní vrátila a jsem za to ráda. Protože určitě stojí za přečtení.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Jak už jsem se zmínila, zpočátku mě kniha moc neoslovila. Psaní er-formou mi nesedělo a úvod do toho, co se bude dít, taky nezaujal. Ale s postupným rozvíjením příběhu jsem se začínala začítat a forma vypravování mi víc a více sedla.<br />
<br />
Zcela jistě všem knihomolským duším bude hlavní postava Cath velmi blízká, v některých chvílích možná až děsivě. Na druhou stranu určitě si najdete i chvíle, kdy byste jí nejraději jednu vlepili, aby se probrala.<br />
<br />
Co se týče ostatních postav tak jsem si zamilovala Leviho a Reagan, jsou to zajímavé osobnosti. A první pohled na ně trošku klame, když je poznáte, zjistíte, že jsou jiní, než byste řekli na začátku.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>“You’ve read the books?”
<br />“I’ve seen the movies.”
Cath rolled her eyes so hard, it hurt. (Actually.) (Maybe because she was still on the edge of tears. On the edge, period.) <br />“So you haven’t read the books.”
<br />“I’m not really a book person.”
<br />“That might be the most idiotic thing you’ve ever said to me” </b></i></blockquote>
<a href="http://img.wooky.cz/?eshid=4&amp;langid=1&amp;colorspace=truecolor&type=ebook&id=19043&w=145&wat=&max_h=233&deform=1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img.wooky.cz/?eshid=4&amp;langid=1&amp;colorspace=truecolor&type=ebook&id=19043&w=145&wat=&max_h=233&deform=1" height="320" width="201" /></a>Děj knihy svižně odcípá, vypráví příběh o rodiných vztazích, přátelství a první lásce, zrkátka tak<br />
nějak s běžnými problémy mladých lidí. Sem tam se pobavíte nad nějakým komentářem- tu hodně perlí Levi nebo scénou.<br />
<br />
Asi nejzajímavějším rysem knihy je, že hodně souvisí s fanfiction a knižní sérií o Simonu Snowovi, kterou si však autorka zcela vymyslela. Kapitoly jsou uvozovány úryvky z této série, matoucí jsou uvedené citace, takže to působí opravdu reálně, a fanfiction k této sérii.<br />
V některých kapitolách se o osudech Simona dozvíte taky hodně prostřednictvím Cath.<br />
<br />
A pozitivně hodnotím i závěr knihy, který je svým způsobem jako reálný život- prostě pokračuje. <br />
<br />
Trochu nevábný začátek si u mě kniha postupem času velmi dobře vyžehlila a vytáhla se až na krásné hodnocení <b>80 %</b>. A odnáší si doporučení k přečtení.<br />

<b>Summary: </b>Russ Devereaux used to have it all—loving father,
beautiful best friend, a carefree life in a town he loved, and strong magic. He was the
king of his happy universe. Five months ago, that life was taken from him. Do not
pass Go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s spent months fighting back and building himself a new life, in a new city, with
new friends he now considers family. But suddenly, his new life might be in
jeopardy of getting shot straight to hell just like the last one. Literally, this
time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s discovered power inside of him—an ancient, dark power that he shouldn’t
have, can’t explain, can’t control, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">definitely</i> needs to keep secret. He needs answers, but before
he can get them, he finds himself arrested and on his way to face the supernatural
council. The same council that stole everything from him the first
time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Russ struggles to keep his new power under wraps, his old life and he new one
are about to collide and it’s bound to be explosive. He may not have all the answers
he needs, but one thing is certain: he’ll be damned if anyone is taking his new life
from him. That is, if he’s not just plain damned.<br />

<b>BONUS CONTENT:</b></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">
Each book in the supernaturals series focuses on a different character and is told in
there point of view. Scion (Book 3) is Russ's story, and he is excited to finally have
his voice heard. If you'd like to get a sneak peek inside of his head, please enjoy this
bonus scene from <i>Chameleon</i> written in his perspective. It's the very first
chapter of the entire series, so even if you haven't started the Supernaturals series
yet, you can still read it. It's totally spoiler free! (And hey, then you'll know what you
have to look forward to in book three!) Here's a short excerpt:</div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I was trying to make
her nervous on purpose. My whole intent tonight was to make her see me in a new
way. What better way to do that than to crawl into bed with her in the middle of the
night?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">We hadn’t been in bed
together since we were kids. Back when the fact that we were the opposite sex
didn’t matter. It definitely mattered now. She looked so incredibly sexy at the
moment that I could hardly think of anything other than the fact that I wanted to
obliterate the word “friendship” from all known
languages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“What happened to the
Disney Princess nightgown you wore the last time we were in bed together? That
was hot.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">But not nearly as hot
as the tank top and panties she was wearing right now. Damn. I hadn’t expected her
to sleep so risqué. I’d genuinely been prepared for Captain America pajamas or
something, considering her infatuation with Chris Evans. But this…she looked…
Double damn. Even if this plan totally backfired on me tonight, right now it felt like
the best idea I’d ever had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">As I took a mental
picture of her, Dani finally realized she wasn’t wearing a bra and freaked out, pulling
her covers up over her chest while glaring at me. If she hadn’t been awake before,
she definitely was now. “You’d better have a damn good reason for being here or
you’re going to be very sorry.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">She was pissed but it
was worth it. I gave her a pout. “Since when do I need a
reason?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">She opened her mouth
to unleash a verbal tirade but I lifted a hand to stop her. I didn’t need to hear her
rant. No lecture in the world was going to make me feel bad for sneaking in here and
catching a semi-naughty glimpse of her. Am I shameless? Why, yes. Yes I am. It’s one
of my many talents. </span><a href="http://www.kellyoram.com/2015/04/russ-pov-bonus-scene-from-chameleon.html" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px;" target="_blank">Click here to read the entire RUSS POV Bonus Scene from

<div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans- serif; font-size: xx-small;">For small-town rebel Dani Webber magic and monsters
are no more real than the Easter Bunny… until the day she accidentally stops time.
Dani quickly discovers that not only do supernaturals exist, but she herself is one of
them. This is great news for her life-long best friend Russ, who can finally come
clean about his own supernatural status and his undying love for her. Before the two
can start to enjoy the long overdue relationship, Dani is taken by a powerful council
of supernaturals who believe she is the Chosen One destined to save them from
extinction.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As if being kidnapped and expected to save the world
isn’t bad enough, an ancient prophecy warns of the Chosen One’s dark nature: “Only
the truest love will keep her an agent for good.” The council believes they know who
this “true love” is and, unfortunately, that person isn’t Russ. The mysterious,
powerful and devastatingly handsome Seer is the last person Dani wants in her life,
but when she starts having visions of a horrific future, she has no one else to turn to
for help. </span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Soon Dani finds herself torn between two very
different boys with two very different opinions of whom she can trust. With the
visions getting worse and time running out, Dani is forced to put aside her feelings
and work with both the Seer and Russ before an ancient evil is unleashed upon the
earth.</span>

Kelly Oram wrote her first novel at age fifteen–a fan fiction about her favorite music
group, The Backstreet Boys, for which family and friends still tease her. She's
obsessed with reading, talks way too much, and loves to eat frosting by the spoonful.
She lives outside of Phoenix, Arizona with her husband, four children, and a cat

<i><b>Anotace </b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mějte se na pozoru před Trnovým princem... Když mu bylo devět, sledoval, jak mu přímo před očima zavraždili matku a bratra. Když mu bylo třináct, byl vůdcem bandy krvelačných banditů. Do patnácti má v plánu být králem... Nastal čas, aby se princ Honorous Jorg Ankrath vrátil na hrad, který kdysi opustil, a přihlásil se o dědictví, které mu po právu náleží. Svět se pro něj změnil v den, kdy visel na trnech ostnovníkového keře a sledoval, jak muži hraběte Renara vraždí jeho matku a mladšího bratra. Od té chvíle prahne Jorg po pomstě. Život a smrt pro něj představují jen obyčejnou hru - hru, ve které nemá co ztratit, ale ve které může vyhrát úplně všechno. Jenže v otcově hradě na něj nečeká nic, než zrada. Zrada a temná magie. Je možné, aby osamělý chlapec, byť nade vší představu divoký a zvrhlý, porazil nepřátele, jejichž moc přesahuje i ty nejbujnější představy<br />
<br />
<i><b>Hodnocení</b></i><br />
Do čtení Trnového prince jsem se dala tak nějak náhodou. Tuším, jsem jen někde četla, že se chystá v čj druhý díl. A tak jsem se dala do čtení. Musím, ale přiznat, že první stránky mě dost šokovaly. Vůbec to nebylo to, co bych očekávala s ohledem na anotaci, ale hlavně mě překvapila surovost a vulgárnost. Opravdu jsem se divila, cože jsem to začala číst. A o to větší překvapení, když jsem přišla na stáří hlavního hrdiny.<br />

<i>A nečekaně prudké setkání s matičkou zemí zanechalo jeho nos o něco placatější, než by se mu asi líbilo.</i></blockquote>
Hlavní postavou příběhu je <strike>(světe div se)</strike> třináctiletý Jogr, korunní princ, který se několik let potlouká s bandou "podivných chlápků" a právě se rozhodl vrátit domů. Je mladý, bezprostřední, drzý, troufalý, chytrý <strike>někdy tedy spíš vychytralý</strike> a s ničím se moc nepáře (<strike>ne vůbec to není narážka na začátek knihy)</strike>. Zkrátka takový hajzlík, s velkým egem, kterému přeje štěstí <strike>přežil celou knihu :D </strike>.<br />
<br />
Na Jorgovi je také zajímavé, že na rozdíl od většiny knižních hrdinů, spějících k dobru. On je prostě "bad guy", ale nesnaží se to změnit, svým způsobem si na tom zakládá.<br />
<br />
Příběh je zasazen do jakési pseudodoby a krajiny, které nejsou nijak ujasněny a vy si o nich můžete tvořit vlastní představu z narážek jako např. na Aristotela, Platóna, Indii, Stavitele atd. a možná, že vám i trošku pomůže mapa na začátku knihy. (pPředpokládám však, že v dalších dílech série je tento oříšek rozlousknut.) Jinak období lehce připomíná středověk prosycený magií. Ano tato šachová partie o trůn <strike>nebo trůny?</strike> je opět na magickém pozadí.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Říká se , že strach vám dává křídla. Žádný z nás sice neletěl, ale
to, jakým tempem jsme se hnali a drápali po kluzkých kamenech, by nám
mohly závidět i podzemní ještěkry, které tu byly doma.<b> </b> </i></blockquote>
Většina příběhu se odehrává v "současnosti", ale minulost nás tu dostihne též. Příběh je totiž, abychom lépe pochopili Jorga a další události prokládán událostmi, jež se odehrály před 4 lety.<br />
<br />
Přes počáteční šok se mi však kniha líbila. Dobře se četla (ačkoli tedy uznávám při čtení jsem měla trošku drsnější slovník), i když patří mezi trochu drsnější knihy. Příběh má hlavu a patu a i po jazykové stránce se autor nebo možná překladatel docela vyřádil (mluva spodiny a dvorská, ačkoli té tam ještě nebylo tolik, třeba v dalším díle :D).<br />
<br />
Sečteno podtrženo Trnový princ si mě získal na<b> 85 %</b>. Rozhodně však <b>nedoporučuji osobám se slabším žaludkem</b>, chvílemi je opravdu "surový"!!! Jinak ostatní si čtení jistě užijete.<br />

Strhující příběh o cestování časem z prostředí viktoriánské Anglie. Píše se rok 1896 a celý Londýn žije převratnou novinkou – cestováním v čase. Společnost Murrayho cesty časem totiž svým klientům nabízí možnost uskutečnit dávný lidský sen a vypravit se do jiné doby. A to přesně udělá Claire Haggertyová, svérázná mladá dívka ze zámožné rodiny, která je přesvědčená, že jí žádný z nudných nápadníků nedokáže dát opravdovou lásku. Proto se vypraví do roku 2000, kde se zamiluje do muže z budoucnosti a zažije s ním milostný románek napříč časem. Ne každý ale touží po budoucnosti. Andrew Harrington chce spáchat sebevraždu, protože ho nic nedokáže zbavit bolesti ze smrti jeho milované, prostitutky Marie Kellyové, která se stala poslední obětí Jacka Rozparovače. Když se však objeví možnost cestovat v čase, rozhodne se vypravit do minulosti a Marii zachránit. Jenže cestování časem má svá rizika. Můžeme měnit minulost? Smíme vidět budoucnost? Sám spisovatel H. G. Wells čelí nebezpečím a paradoxům cestování časem, když se v jeho době objeví člověk z budoucnosti, který ho chce zabít a přisvojit si autorství jeho románů.

<i><b>Hodnocení</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Musím přiznat, že tato kniha mne před jistou dobou zaujala svou anotací v knihkupectví. A pak jsem ji připsala na seznam knih, které bych chtěla od Ježíška. No a na ty předminulé Vánoce se ke mně dostala. Čtení jsem však dlouho odkládala. Ale nakonec jsem přečetla.<br />
<br />
Popravdě zpočátku jsem byla dost v šoku. Jelikož jsem se dočkala něčeho, co jsem vlastně vůbec neočekávala. Tak nějak jsem nechápala, jak to má souviset se slibovaným příběhem. No ale toho jsem se nakonec dočkala.<br />
<br />
Když jsem se tedy dostala k jádru příběhu, který mě celkem bavil, snažila jsem se přijít na kloub autorovu stylu. Ten je poněkud zvláštní a tak nějak jsem se dlouho rozhodovala jestli se mi ty jeho průpovídky ke čtenáři líbí nebo ne. Nakonec jsem se rozhodla, že se mi líbí. Protože dávaly vyprávění takový správný říz. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> "Abych ho moc neobtěžoval, mohl bych jeho vnější popis odbýt tím, že to byl hubený bledý mladí, který už zažil lepší chvíle. Ale z mnoha postav vynořujících se z vod tohoto příběhu je Wells asi tou, která se, k jeho velké lítosti, bude objevovat nejčastěji, a to mě nutí vykreslit jeho portrét trochu přesněji. Kromě jeho děsivé hubenosti a mrtvolné bledosti vidíme, že si nechal narůst módní knírek,..." </i></blockquote>
Celkově jsou v knize spíše několik různých příběhů, které se s postupem času splétají, rozplétají a proplétají a vytváří tak jeden příběh. Příběh, který mne docela zaujal a bavil mě číst.<br />
Možná proto je tu spíše několik hlavních postav, ačkoli jednou z těch nejhlavnějších bude spisovatel Wells. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Možná vám začne docháet trpělivost, když vám to ještě jednou popíši, ale obávám se, že přesně to udělám, protože vůbec nemám v úmyslu překročit práh pokoje, ve kterém se nacházejí Tom a Claire, s neslušným záměrem narušit jejich soukromí."</i></blockquote>
Ke konci se mi však kniha už začínala zdát lehce překombinovaná, mnoho poslepovaných motivů na mě nepůsobilo dobře. A samotný závěr? No musím přiznat, že jsem z něj nebyla zcela moudrá. Ačkoli pravdou je, že kniha má další dvě pokračování, v nichž se to může osvětlit, nebo více zamotat.<br />
<br />
I přes jistou míru věcí, jež se mi nelíbily knihu celkově hodnotím kladně a k přečtení jistě doporučuji. Je to něco jiného než asi budete očekávat. Knihu tedy hodnotím <b>75 %</b>. Rozhodně však patří k těm, jež má své "nadšence" i "zklamance".<br />

ONA</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Redaktorka ženského časopisu, expertka na vaření. Miluje nové recepty, oprašuje staré po babičkách, dobrého jídla se nikdy nepřejí a je pro ni středobodem vesmíru. Sama o sobě říká, že je gastrosexuálka. Sport je pro ni nutné zlo, aby nenakynula jako její milované tvarohové buchty. Jmenuje se Klára.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
ON</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adrenalinový sportovec. V létě leze po horách, v zimě po zamrzlých vodopádech. Sport je součástí jeho života a nedokáže bez něj existovat. Jeho břišní, zádové, hýžďové, no prostě všechny svaly, podle toho patřičně vypadají. Pekáč buchet může spořádat na posezení a nebude to na něm vůbec vidět. Jmenuje se Matouš.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Je vůbec možné, aby dva takto rozdílné světy fungovaly společně? Stačilo jediné včelí bodnutí a následná prudká alergická reakce, a bylo to. Náhoda je spojila dohromady, a tak na nich můžeme otestovat hned dvě lidová moudra: že láska prochází žaludkem, a že láska hory přenáší.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Další skvělé čtení od Kateřiny Petrusové, které smlsnete jako pralinku. Najdete v něm všechno, co na jejích knížkách máte rády: svérázné postavy, skvělé dialogy, nečekané zápletky. Vtip, romantiku i napětí</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Hodnocení</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tato kniha mně chytla již od samého začátku. Každou kapitolu uvádí recept, který se váže k ději v dané kapitole. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Děj se odvíjí plynule bez zbytečných "popisů krajinek", je promyšlený a co shledávám velkým plusem je, že působí docela reálně. Celý příběh je zpestřen vtipem, který mi sedl. A hlavně, je vidět, že se nejedná o knihu v překladu- vyniká krása a rozmanitost češtiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hlavní postavy si zamilujete ať už trošku výstřední Kláru, která téměř všechny problémy řeší tím, že vaří nebo peče. Tak Matouše, který je prostě k sežrání.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kladně hodnotím i závěr knihy, který není úplným typickým happy endem ani žádn tragický konec. Svým způsobem to opět přispívá uvěřitelnosti příběhu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pekáč buchet byl mým prvním setkáním s tvorbou Kateřiny Petrusové a dopadlo to na výbornou. Dobře se četlo a po celou dobu jsem se náramě bavila, užívala si barvité češtiny a děje, který knize rozhodně nechyběl.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jen jednu podstatnou chybu jsem na knize našla a to, že mi při prvním
čtení vypadla jedna stránka, blbé lepené stránky :(. (A to se ke knihám
nechovám jako hulvát ani podle Destrukčního deníku nebo tak.) A knihu tedy hodnotím <b>90 %</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
A já se už teď těším na další knihy od autorky, které určitě budou stát za to.<br />

A ano je tu nový rok a já rozjíždím čekačkový seznam ve čtvrtém roce. To jsem tedy zvědavá, jak se mu bude dařit. Vzhledem k tomu, že některé knihy jsou na seznamu stále ještě od prvního seznamu (ano ano, stydím se).<br /><br />
Z čekačkového seznamu jsem v prosinci přečetla (stydím se, ale aspoň něco): <br />
<ol>

Tak se nám konec listopadu trošku ochladil a přišlo chladné, kolem nulové počasí. Třeba se dočkáme i sněhu, ačkoli meterologové v tomto ohledu jsou pesimističtí. No co, dlouhé zimní večery s knížkou, čajíkem pod dekou jsou tu.<br />
<br />
Z čekačkového seznamu jsem zase nic nepřečetla (ano vím, stydím se): <br />
<ol>
<li> <b>...</b></li>
</ol>
</div>
<ol></ol>
<div>
Mimo čekačkový seznam jsem v<b> </b>listopadu přečetla (asi se mi projevuje závislost na knihách v aj):<br />
<ol>
<li><b>After Math-</b> Denise Grover Swank</li>
<b></b>
<li><b>Selekce-</b> Kiera Cass</li>
<li><b>The Elite-</b> Kiera Cass</li>
<li><b>The One</b>- Kiera Cass </li>
<li><b>Princess Academy- </b>Shannon Hale </li>
<li><b>Introduction- </b>C. L. Stone</li>
<li><b>First Days-</b> C. L. Stone</li>
</ol>
</div>
Aktuální seznam na prosinec(a rok 2015) vypadá takto:<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Mapa času- </b>Felix J. Palma</li>
<li><b>Potrhaná křídla- </b>Ruta Sepetys </li>
<li><b>Ztracený symbol</b>- Dan Brown </li>
<li><b>Pilíře Země</b>- Ken Follet </li>

<li><b>Fifty Shades Freed</b>- E. L. James (půjčeno od sestřenice)</li>
<li><b>Tanec s draky-</b> George R. R. Martin</li>
</ol>
Tak nějak doufám, že se k tomu svému čekačkovému seznamu dostanu poněvadž jako opravdu teď tak nějak čtu spíš na čtečce než své fyzické knihy. Ačkoli Selekce nyní byla výjimkou. Grr, měla bych s tím něco dělat.<br />

<i><b>Anotace</b></i> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mladý australský autor sepsal silný, jímavý a neobyčejně čtivý příběh. Jeho vypravěčem učinil Smrt. Smrt je zdánlivě nezúčastněný divák, s dokonalým odstupem, s osobitou perspektivou; má všechny předpoklady pro to být svědkem a vypravěčem. Ale příběh Liesel Memingerové je tak mimořádný, že i Smrt si musí přiznat zájem o živé lidi, dojetí z jejich utrpení, hořkost a úlevu z konců. I Smrt má srdce. Zusakova kniha se vydává na smutná místa, rozhodně ale není skličující. Kniha se stala záhy po svém vydání mezinárodním bestselerem. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Hodnocení</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ke knize jsem se dostala díky filmovému zpracování. Film jsem sice neviděla, ale musela jsem se podívat, co je to za knihu, zaujala, a tak jsem se dala do čtení. A po přečtení se zatím nacházím ve stadiu, že ani film vidět nepotřebuji a nechci.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samotný začátek knihy mne šokoval svým pojetím. Příběh je vyprávěn Smrtí a to dost jedinečným stylem. Občas zaběhne do budoucnosti, pak se vrátí, k některé události připojí svoji vlastní vzpomínku,... </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>A ukázala zas jednou i mně, že z jedné příležitosti se přímo rodí další, stejně jako se z risku rodí větší risk, ze života více života a ze smrti více smrti.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zlodějka je dost netradiční příběh, který si mne získal na začátku. Svým způsobem by se dalo říct, že vypráví o šťastném dětství na pozadí druhé světové války. Ačkoli to slůvko "šťastné" berte s rezervou. Popisuje se tu "průměrný" i chudý život, povinnost chodit do Hitlerjungend (omlouvám se pokud to mám špatně napsáno).</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> Jablka, pomyslela si spokojeně. Jablka; a pak se pozvracela ještě jednou, pro štěstí.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Liesel, hlavní postava příběhu rostla. Občas se mi zdálo, že měla příliš "dospělé" myšlenky, ale vzápětí udělala něco a přesvědčila mne, že je tím dítětem, které je popisováno.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zajímavostí je, že v knize se vyskytuje i velké množství německých slovíček, frází a vět, ale naštěstí pro mně, osobu němčiny téměř neznalou, jsou téměř vždy vzápětí přeloženy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knihu hodnotím jako originální, osvěžující příběh, který neotřelým způsobem vypráví o slastech a strastech života v období druhé světové. Bez zbytečných příkras či přílišného odosobnění. A navíc s koncem, který není (alespoň pro mně) ani šťastným ani nešťastným. Vysoké hodnocení <b>99 %</b>. Amalé plus i za autora, který není Američan.</div>
