“Dear Luke, We Need to Talk, Darth is proof that a funny book on pop culture doesn't have to be snide and nasty. I loved everything about it.” —Jim Gaffigan
We all know how Darth Vader shared his big secret with Luke Skywalker, but what if he had delivered the news in a handwritten note instead? And what if someone found that letter, as well as all of the drafts that landed in the Dark Lord’s trash can? In the riotously funny collection Dear Luke, We Need to Talk. Darth, John Moe finally reveals these lost notes alongside all the imagined letters, e-mails, text messages, and other correspondences your favorite pop culture icons never meant for you to see. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first picked this up but I have to admit I was completely entertained. I feel bad for my family because I was constantly calling them over to read different section. It was funny in parts because of it’s ridiculousness, like one of Jay-z’s 99 problems being the direction Doctor Who is taking. And others because it’s something we’ve always thought about, like how Popeye’s spinach was actually drug. There were parts I had to skip, for example I’ve never seen The Walking Dead and therefore reading about their I.M’s and emails I wouldn’t make me laugh, or make much sense. I did like how after most sections there were super bowl ideas for the half time compared to what actually happened. Overall it was such a fun and imaginative read that goes by pretty quickly. Recommended for anyone who likes to laugh and is all caught up in pop culture. Since this is such a short review, I’m making up for it by having a giveaway! SAVE YOURSELF has the narrative flair of Gillian Flynn and Adam Ross, the scruffy appeal of Donald Ray Pollock, and the addictiveness of Breaking Bad.
Patrick Cusimano is in a bad way. His father is in jail, he works the midnight shift at a grubby convenience store, and his brother's girlfriend, Caro, has taken their friendship to an uncomfortable new level. On top of all that, he can't quite shake the attentions of Layla Elshere, a goth teenager who befriends Patrick for reasons he doesn't understand and doesn't fully trust. The temptations these two women offer are pushing him to his breaking point. Meanwhile, Layla's little sister, Verna, is suffering through her first year of high school. She's become a prime target for her cruel classmates, not just because of her strange name and her fundamentalist parents: Layla's bad-girl rep proves to be too huge a shadow for Verna, so she falls in with her sister's circle of outcasts and misfits whose world is far darker than she ever imagined. Kelly Braffet's characters, indelibly portrayed and richly varied, are all on their own twisted paths to finding peace. The result is a novel of unnerving power-darkly compelling, addictively written, and shockingly honest. I really loved the book. I mean, I LOVED IT. the story of Patrick.. I didnt know what I was expecting about this book, but judging by the cover and the argument, I knew it was going to be good, so I asked to review it. and they didnt let me down! I personally lived Verna's story. I was bullied my freshman year as well so I really focused on Layla.. she's a goth teen who befriends with Patrick for no reasons... This book is kind of personal for me.. I know what is like to have your parent in jail for driving while drunk, I know what is like to be bullied and I know what is like to be in hell.. If you picture it like that, its like a part of my story with different characters.. You really have to read this book! Best book I've read all summer.

''On the alien, sunless planet they call Eden, the 532 members of the Family shelter beneath the light and warmth of the Forest’s lantern trees. Beyond the Forest lie the mountains of the Snowy Dark and a cold so bitter and a night so profound that no man has ever crossed it.
The Oldest among the Family recount legends of a world where light came from the sky, where men and women made boats that could cross the stars. These ships brought us here, the Oldest say—and the Family must only wait for the travelers to return. But young John Redlantern will break the laws of Eden, shatter the Family and change history. He will abandon the old ways, venture into the Dark…and discover the truth about their world. Already remarkably acclaimed in the UK, Dark Eden is science fiction as literature; part parable, part powerful coming-of-age story, set in a truly original alien world of dark, sinister beauty--rendered in prose that is at once strikingly simple and stunningly inventive. '' My Opinion: A book about aliens.. how awesome is that? I ca honestly and proudly say that this is my first alien book ever!! and that I loved it so much! thanks god its not an auto-conclusive because i'm dying to read the second one which is Mother of Eden I think.. When I first started the book I was just about to put it down when I reached the middle of the book like wow? I read this book in 2 days. And please don't hate me but I'm trying to not give you spoilers guys 'cause I know you hate them as much as I do. so, let me tell you that I was a bit disappointed with this book. But I would really recommend it if you have this weird-love obsession with aliens like I, now with this book have. Desde que estaba afuera, había sobrevivido a una tormenta de Éter, la habían amenazado con un cuchillo y había visto a hombres ser asesinados. Pero esto, era aun peor.
Exiliada de su hogar, la ciudad protegida de Reverie, Aria sabe que sus probabilidades de sobrevivir son mínimas. Si los caníbales no llegan hasta ella, las violentas tormentas eléctricas lo harán. Incluso el aire que respira puede matarla. Entonces Aria conoce a un forastero llamado Perry. Él es un salvaje... y es su única oportunidad para seguir con vida. Perry es uno de los cazadores de su tribu y ve en Aria la fragilidad que podría esperarse de una residente, sin embargo el también necesita su ayuda; ella tiene la llave para su propia salvación. Aria y Perry son opuestos en casi todo, pero si pretenden sobrevivir, tendrán que aceptarse el uno al otro. Su improbable alianza creara un vinculo que determinara el destino de todos los que viven bajo el cielo eterno. Después de la primera ola, solo la oscuridad permanece. Después de la segunda sólo el que tiene suerte escapa. Y después de la tercera, sólo los que tienen mala suerte sobreviven. Después de la cuarta ola, sólo una regla se aplica: no confíes en nadie.
Ahora, es el amanecer de la quinta ola, y en un tramo solitario de la carretera, Cassie huye de ellos. Los seres que sólo parecen humanos, que deambulan por el campo, matando a cualquiera que ven. Quiénes han dispersado a los últimos supervivientes de la Tierra. Permanecer sólo es seguir con vida, Cassie lo cree, hasta que conoce a Evan Walker. Cautivador y misterioso, Evan Walker puede ser la única esperanza de Cassie para rescatar a su hermano, o incluso a sí misma. Pero Cassie debe elegir: entre la confianza y la desesperación, entre el desafío y el rendirse, entre la vida y la muerte. Abandonar o levantarse. · Título: Nada · Saga: libro único · Autor: Janne Teller · Páginas: 160 · Sinopsis: Pierre Antón deja el colegio el día que descubre que la vida no tiene sentido.

Opinión Personal: Despues te leer tantas opiniones malas de este libro, (incluso que se dijera que los lectores se han suicidado y hasta internado en hospitales mentales) decidi leerlo, porque todavia no creo que haya un libro que te haga suicidar... espero?
Bueno me decidi a leerlo y cuando iba por la mitad no me encontraba nada raro, hasta que llege a un punto de la historia en donde era tan macabro el libro que hasta pense en dejar de leerlo, pero por mas cosa que me daba, lo termine y les juro, no volverlo a leer jamas. (se que puede sonar un poco drastico, pero no.) O sea si alguien me hubiera dicho las cosas que me iba a encontrar en ese libro, ni siquiera le hubiera puesto el ojo... No se los voy a recomendar, jajja pero si lo quieren comprobar por sus propios ojos vayan a la seccion de descargas y ahi se lo van a encontrar, no olviden de dejarme su opinion! · Título: Eleanor & Park · Saga: libro único · Autor: Rainbow Rowell · Páginas: 325 · Sinopsis: Eleanor es la nueva chica en la ciudad, y nunca se ha sentido más sola.

Silencioso, cuidadoso, y, a los ojos de Eleanor, imposiblemente genial, Park ha descubierto que pasar bajo el radar es la mejor forma de salir adelante. Lentamente, de manera constante, a través de concersaciones nocturnas y una pila de cassettes mezclados cada vez más grande, Eleanor y Park se enamoran. Se enamoran de la forma en que lo haces la primera vez, cuando tienes 16, y tienes nada y todo que perder... Opinion Personal:
Que puedo decir sobre este libro? Que lo ame, que Rainbow es una de las autoras con las que tengo una relacion tipo amorodio(? y que me encantaria una secuela de este libro! jafkafaf La verdad es que en el gusto de musica nos parecemos Eleanor, Park & Yo .. Y pues un poco en el gusto de ropa (no que voy a salir toda hipster ni nada xd) Me gusto mucho como Rainbow desarrollo su personaje, y a pesar de que la historia fue adaptada en los 1800's creo, me senti como si fuera una historia de todos los tiempos.. El Final me dejo un poco pensativa, no me gusto para nada porque no soy muy fan asi de los finales NO-felices, pero que le vamos a hacer? De verdad denle una oportunidad a este libro! en serio vale la pena, ahora me voy... obligare a mi novio a leerlo! cuidense. <3 Eleanor es la nueva chica en la ciudad, y nunca se ha sentido más sola. Con toda su ropa que no combina, loco cabello rojo y caótica vida familiar, no podría destacar más incluso si lo intentara. Entonces se sienta en el autobús al lado de Park. Silencioso, cuidadoso, y, a los ojos de Eleanor, imposiblemente genial, Park ha descubierto que pasar bajo el radar es la mejor forma de salir adelante.

Se enamoran de la forma en que lo haces la primera vez, cuando tienes 16, y tienes nada y todo que perder... Establecida en el transcurso de un año escolar en 1986, Eleanor y Park es divertida, triste, impactante y verdadera; un exquisito viaje a la nostalgia para cualquiera que jamas haya olvidado a su primer amor. |
