Jonathan Strange é um mágico jovem e quer usar a magia para ajudar e o Sr. Norrell é um cavalheiro de mais idade que acha que a magia deve ser apenas estudada... o que adorei mais foi uma parte em que Jonathan Strange vem a Portugal ajudar os ingleses na luta contra as invasões francesas... afinal o que aprendi na escola está errado... hehehehehe... tem partes hilariantes... se não gostarem de ser o centro das atenções não leiam em público pois vai haver alturas em que se vão rir ou sorrir...&lt;br /&gt;espero que gostem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:::::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Original title: Jonathan Strange &amp;amp; Mr. Norrell&lt;br /&gt;Author: Susanna Clarke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOVED this book... the story is in the 19th century when people thought that there wasn't any magic in England anymore... Jonathan Strange is a wizard and wants to use magic to help and Mr Norrell, a more aged gentleman, thinks that magic is only there to be studied... the part I loved more was when Jonathan Strange comes to Portugal to help the English against the French invasions... it seems that what I learned in school is wrong... hehehehehe... it has hilarious parts... if you don't like being the centre of attention, don't read it in a public place because there are parts that you will laugh or smile...&lt;br /&gt;hope you like it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1217569749415697575-773263148843760773?l=macatireads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macatireads.blogspot.com/feeds/773263148843760773/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1217569749415697575&amp;postID=773263148843760773&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1217569749415697575/posts/default/773263148843760773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1217569749415697575/posts/default/773263148843760773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macatireads.blogspot.com/2010/11/susanna-clarke.html' title='Susanna Clarke'/><author><name>macati</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02648709216426220228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_aCbzTFw8oWQ/R2gBewBucXI/AAAAAAAAAzU/e6Kry_RiWi4/S220/me+avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aCbzTFw8oWQ/TOVpnIcodEI/AAAAAAAAByc/vOflI19Fe8M/s72-c/jonthan%2Bstrange.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1217569749415697575.post-503747087241571888</id><published>2010-11-18T09:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-18T09:53:24.764-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Scarlet Thomas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aCbzTFw8oWQ/TOVlADj39RI/AAAAAAAAByU/2u5xRQS6Zsw/s1600/Fim_Senhor_Y.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aCbzTFw8oWQ/TOVlADj39RI/AAAAAAAAByU/2u5xRQS6Zsw/s400/Fim_Senhor_Y.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540945968179442962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Título: O fim do Senhor Y (2006)&lt;br /&gt;Título original: The end of Mr Y (2006)&lt;br /&gt;Autora: Scarlett Thomas&lt;br /&gt;Editora: Bertrand Editora&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Além do título e da capa me ter atraído, foi a pergunta na capa que me convenceu a comprar o livro: "Se soubesse que um livro está amaldiçoado, abria-o?"

Bem escrito, viciante e surpreendente! Já tenho os outros dois livros que deste mesmo autor que inclui as mesmas personagens. Cada caso é resolvido em cada livro mas nós vamos acompanhando as vidas das personagens principais que a mim me parecem bem reais... Em inglês o título é "A rapariga da tatuagem de dragão" pois uma das personagens que acompanhamos ao longo da obra e das outras seguintes tem uma tatuagem de dragão e mais não digo...&lt;br /&gt;   O autor era para escrever uma colecção de 10 livros mas faleceu após o terceiro volume e nem teve a oportunidade de saber o sucesso que fez... eu fiquei fã...&lt;br /&gt;   Sei que fizeram o filme no país de origem de Larsson, Suécia, e que estão a pensar em fazer a versão Hollywood do mesmo (ou já fizeram? corrijam-me)... não sei se vou ver... já tenho as imagens das personagens na minha mente e nem sempre os filmes correspondem à minha imaginação...&lt;br /&gt;   Gostam de policiais? Leiam este...&lt;br /&gt;:::::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Title: The girl with the Dragon tattoo (2005)&lt;br /&gt;Título original: Män som hatar kvinnor&lt;br /&gt;Autor: Stieg Larsson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The original title is "Men who hate women" just like in Portuguese.  The reason for this English title is that one of the main character in this book (and the following books) has a Dragon tattoo.&lt;br /&gt;  I haven't read such a good crime fiction book for a long time. So well written, addictive and surprising! I have already bought the other two books by the same author with the same main characters. Each case is solved in each book but you follow the main character's lives who seem so real to me.&lt;br /&gt;   The author was going to write a collection of 10 books but he passed away after the 3rd volume and he didn't have the opportunity to know the huge success his books are... I'm a fan.&lt;br /&gt;   I know that they made the film in Larsson's country, Sweden, and that Hollywood will be make its version (or is it already done? correct me)... I don't know if I want to watch it... I have my own pictures of the characters in my mind... sometimes the films don't correspond to my imagination...&lt;br /&gt;   Do you like crime fiction?
