I loved going back to the beginning to see how Ana and Zeno first met, and with eahc chapter, we catch up with these two in different stages of their lives, where they always stay in each other's lives, repressing their feelings at times and confessing them at other times.
I love how the complimented each other and seemed to be perfect together like they're always picking up where they left and you don't feel the passage of time with them. I loved them, but I'm docking a star because of my conflicted feelings....more

This is not a wholesome book devoid of pain and suffering. there are wholesome moments and there are also painful and horrific moments.
This book is baThis is not a wholesome book devoid of pain and suffering. there are wholesome moments and there are also painful and horrific moments.
This book is basically the author's experience raising and loving and living with one cat through almost the entirety of that cat's life. I know people like to judge others, especially when it comes to raising pets, I even found myself judging her with remakrs like, "she shouldn't let her roam around like that, the streets are dangerous" or "vet visits are necessary, she should take every month or two at least" or "that's not a suitable diet" or any other remarks. but in the end, that cat loved that woman, and you can't deny that woman loved that cat more than anything else, even if her inexperience showed sometimes.
People talk too easily about mercy killing, as soon as a cat shows some signs of sickness. And it's not easy, like it's not easy if that was a human child and you're being advised to mercifully kill it to spare it, that decision isn't easy, and anyone thinks that it's easy, has never been in that position. I have been in that position and I'm glad I went against mercy killing (5 years ago!), because that cat recovered and went on to live a happy life till now. of course, in this case, it's apparent that the cat wasn't on the road of recovery, but I'll never blame a person who refuses to let go os someone they love. she lived in pain and tears alongside that cat, every step of the way.
this book really made me sob. the author really let everyone go, except for her Mii. and it made me go and hug my mom's cats the deepest hugs despite my allergies. it's not for the faint hearted, and if you don't like reading about the pain and death of pets, I don't recommend it....more

it's steeped in sadness and misery, and it was a nice little touch seeing the familar village setting from "in evil hour" with some familar name, and even hearing the name Macondo from the colonel's fighting days.
it shows clearly what politics, even small town politics, do to people....more

بس قدر يقدم تسلسل منطقي لكل العناصر المهمة في الكتابة من الحبكة والسرد والشخصيات وغيرها، فبنصح بيه فعلا ككتاب عربي في المجال ده، مشوفتش زيه كتير. يعني المجال ده أغلبه كتب مترجمة من الإنجليزي بالذات، لكن العربي والمصحوب كمان بتمارين كتابة عملية قليل جدا....more

I thought batman and robin would be in the forfront of these comics, but they're more in the background, as we focus on a number of students in gotham academy, all revolving around a mysterious student called olivee silverlock, who might be hiding more than she lets on. loved the character dynamics, and though the rest of the comic was a letdown, this remains my favorite volume. it wasl also fun seeing some familiar villains from arkaham assylum....more
