"I always knew he was different. For example, more bruised. Then one day my father stood before him (and he reached to the waist) and said that Carrot really is not - as had always believed - dwarf.
It's terrible, at the age of almost sixteen years to discover that it is the wrong species.
- We did not want to talk to you before, my son - my father said. - We hope that this will grow.
- From what you grow up? - Carrot surprised.
- With grow. "

"- You are dwarves! - He said. - Dwarfs se should not behave! Look at you! Are not you ashamed!
Hundred of hard jaws dropped accordingly.
_ Just look at that. - Carrot shook his head. - Imagine your poor, siwobrode mother, working hard in the narrow tunnels, like the wonder of what their sons porabiają tonight? Imagine what would have thought if you saw now. Your beloved mother, who first taught you how to hold the pick ... "

"- Looking for ... - announced dreamily form - words. I'm at the end of the tongue.
- Pip? - Prompted the throat.
I regained natychmaist shopping senses.
- After such experiences - he added, pushing a tray with the exact amount of recycled organic remains that she was aware of the law - be useful to you a hot pasty ...
- Pressure ... It's not pip. That something is said, when he discovers człowiekcoś. He runs down the street and yells ... - frantically explained charred character. - Such a special word ... - she added, wrinkling his forehead under a layer of soot.
Crowd reluctantly resigned to the fact that more outbreaks will not, now surrounded osmalonego alchemist. The show could turn out to be equally involved.
- Yes, that's right - old man said, nabijając pipe. - Cries of "Fire! Fire. " - He was clearly proud of myself. "

"One of the dwarf raised his hand uncertainly.
- You can?
- Excuse me?
- Why do moving images of Mr. Dibbler always in the grip of madness against the world?
Soll winked.
- Since Mr. Dibbler - growled - człowiekeim is very perceptive. "

The next two 'pratchett'y' for me - Guards! Guards! And Moving Images. The first item definitely funnier, but the second moderate to accept ^ ^. Martin says that according to him, but the Pyramids were the funniest thing I'd podyskutowała or sometimes Guards! :) On Fire! Know carrots, a boy of the species> people <who was raised by dwarves. Adoptive parents, after the son begins to betray the interest of the opposite sex, send your comfort between 'their'. Specifically, the Ankh-Morpork. Moving pictures in hand, alchemists discover oktocelulozę and hence - a new form of entertainment. In the Holy Grove, also called Holly Wood, a city grows you've never seen Discworld ...

"Nik Scarlett introduced her to other friends. The fact that they did not see, did not matter. Parents have told her firmly that Nik is a contrived boy and that there is nothing wrong with that - for a few days the mother insisted, even to the dinner prepared for him an additional hat - so totally not surprised that Nik also has imaginary friends. He repeated it to their comments.
- Bartelmy says that you have ruddy cheeks, that the fresh plums - said.
-Really? And why he says so funny? And probably more tomato. "

Graveyard Book Neil Gaiman'a - easy and fun - a boy brought up in the cemetery ^ ^ tear of happiness. If someone liked Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride - it should read it and you ^ ^ this special mood. Unintentionally, in my mind I heard melodies straight from Edward Scissorhands and the above-mentioned films.

Dune - Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson. Cegłówka metaphorically and actually. After the fourth stop in the end annoyed me flowery style of writing and to focus on content. Flamboyant style is:

"Salus Secundus was suspended in space like a wasteland studded with precious stones gem. It was an oasis of mineral resources and fertile fields and a nice quiet for optical sensors. "

"But he could not stir over the side, when many others lost much more. After the attack cymeków managed to keep him alive only by heroic efforts saluskiego medical team. In the hospital, visited him Serena Butler, but he remembered it as a mist, which is a consequence of pain and medication and support systems vital functions. During the unusual treatment of lung transplant, both Xavier and healthy organs provided Tlulaxanin mysterious. He knew that Serena has worked vigorously with great surgeons and military organs tlulaxańskim tuk Keedairem trafficker to be done everything necessary. "

What style of writing and miemal zgrzytało bother to read. All niamal came from aristocratic families, they were beautiful, noble, etc ... so if you can. The whole time I waited for the uprising and how to survive until the end (in a distant part of the book) is something like that ... descended on me. Only for lovers / fans Dune saga. I definitely can not be read from the start the whole cycle.

Finally Rules Fights Elizabeth Moon. Genre - sf. The second book in the series but the first command is not necessary. Unfortunately, again, annoying style of writing dialogues + square. The main character is the heiress of the clan and grill the planet Altiplano - Bride of the Earth. Her lover comes from a famous family of military Serrano (grandmother or aunt admiral of the position, etc). Main Third person is the daughter of the first speakers of the Great Council the most powerful man in the Familiach Regnant ... and that is read immediately after the jihad is wysko I was born to the ears ... An interesting concept of the planet, or rather the region where there is religious fanaticism and terror. Przebrnęłam why the book :)
