Postaja Jedanaest - Recenzija I Station Eleven - Review

Ovo je recenzija knjige Postaja Jedanaest autorice Emily St. John Mandel

The English review is below the Croatian one!

Hrvatsko izdanje / Croatian edition
Prvi put sam za ovu knjigu čula na Youtubeu na Reganinom kanalu Peruse Project. Njoj se knjiga svidjela, a ja uvijek pazim šta se Regan sviđa jer znam da će se i meni u većini slučajeva sviđat. Međutim ja sam knjigu zaboravila, sve dok ju jednog dana nisam vidjela u knjižnici i odlučila je podići.
Šta trebate znati o radnji? Najbolje ništa. Ja sam ovu knjigu počela čitati bez ikakvog znanja o njoj i ja mislim da je to najbolji način da započneš ovu knjigu. Fino se smjestiš u krevet ili naslonjač i počneš čitati. Postoji jedan zaokret odma na početku koji će te natjerat da pročitaš knjigu do kraja. Ja sam, na primjer, odmah po prvim stranicama zaključila da znam o čemu se radi i grdno sam se prevarila.

Kakvi su likovi? Osobno, likovi su mi okej. Neki mi se više sviđaju od ostalih, ali nemam najdražeg što se tiče osobina. Međutim, priče većine likova su veoma zanimljive i način na koje se spoje na kraju je super odrađen.

Je li se meni svidjela? Da, veoma. Kao što sam već rekla, početak knjige me toliko zapanjio da sam morala nastavit čitati. Čitanje fino teče, nema previše opisivanja i lagano je štivo. Tijekom čitanja pitanja se postavljaju sama od sebe, što je super jer znači da ćeš imati volje za daljnim čitanjem ove knjige.

I first heard from this book on Regan's Youtube channel. She said that she liked it and I am always paying attention to what she likes because I know that I will like it too, at leas in most cases. However, I had forgoten about the book up up until one day when I saw it in the library.

What do you have to know about the plot? The best answer would be nothing. I started reading this book whithout knowing anything about and I think this is the best way to start this book. Just lie down in your bad or sit down into your armchair and start reading. There is one plot twist in the beginning of the book that will make you read the book till the end. I, for example, thought that I had figured out the plot based on the first few pages and I've never been so wrong

What are the characters like? Personally, I think they are okay. Some I like more than others, but I don't have a favourite characters. However, the stories of most of the characters are really interesting and the way they come together is well done.

Did I like the book? Yes, quite a lot. As I said before, the beginning of the book shocked me so much that I had to keep on reading. The reading flows, there are no lengthy descriptions and it is easy to read. While you're reading some question appear on their own, which is great because it means that you'll be in the mood to coninue reading.

Happy reading everyone!

What I am Currently Reading! MARCH 2017

Hi people!

Long time no see! Eh, eh? Well, I am deeply sorry for not uploading more posts. I quickly lose interest in things after some time but I plan to correct this. Right now!

I am currently reading two books Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.


1. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

I picked this book from the library because PeruseProject (Regan) from Youtube liked it and I trust her judgement. And lemme tell you, it took me completely by surprise. I didn't read the synopsis before I started reading and I am so glad I didn't because there is one sentence that threw me off so much that I had to put the book down and let it sink in. Definitely recommend even though I haven't read it yet.

2. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss


I am buddy reading this with my friend and it's so much fun discussing the book with someone who has read it (she already finished the second book *shame on me*). I love this book because of its characters and the world. It is so well done. You follow this characters (Kvothe) through his life from child to adult (I guess, the third book isn't out yet) and it's a delight to read about.Kvothe is intelligent and cunning, which I love to read about. And then there is a magic school and crazy teachers and good friends, I think this book is for everyone.And even though the book is huge, the language flows flawlessly and therefore it will never feel to heavy.

If you've read these comments tell me in the comments. I would love to discuss it with you :D
