18. A book related to one of the elements on the periodic table of elements: Spinning Silver (Naomi Novik)

Tämän vuoden Hugo-ehdokas, ja tällä hetkellä suosikkini. Aika hidasliikkeinen juonellisesti, mutta fiilikseltään loistava. Novik on ottanut Rumpelstiltskin-satuhahmon ja muokannut tästä omaan tarinaansa päähenkilön.

20. A book featuring indigenous people of a country: Trail of Lightning (Rebecca Roanhorse)

Toinen Hugo-ehdokas. Päähenkilönä on navajo-intiaaniheimoon kuuluva hirviöiden metsästäjä, jolla on klaanivoimia. Mielenkiintoinen asetelma, mutta tarina ei ihan vienyt mennesään. Luen kyllä sarjan seuraavankin osan.

27. A book off of the 1001 books to read before you die list: Ensimmäinen yhteys (Carl Sagan)

Tämä on pyörinyt hyllyssäni vaikka kuinka pitkään, nyt sain sen luettua. Sen luki, mutta mikään kovin mullistava lukukokemus tämä ei ollut.

42. A book with a monster or "monstrous" character: My Sister, the Serial Killer (Oyinkan Braithwaite)

Tässä oli kiinnostava alkuasetelma, päähenkilö siivoaa siskonsa murhien jälkiä. Vaikka tarina olikin jännityskertomus, tässä oli silti pääosassa ihmissuhteet. Hyvin kirjoitettu ja todella mukaansa vetävä tarina.

50. A book that includes a journey: Maestra (L.S. Hilton)

Kauhea teos, ja luin vain koska oman kirjahyllyn siivousurakka sitä vaati. En oikein tiedä mikä tässä oli pointtina, päähenkilönainen seikkailee edes takas maailmaa ja on kuin Bond konsanaan. Ja joka välissä pitää vehdata ties kenen kanssa. Tylsä ja puuduttava.

40. A book you stumbled upon - Lois Lowry: The Giver

Muiden haasteiden takia valittu kirja oli onnekas sattuma, että kirjaan tuli törmättyä.

Tiesin kirjasta ennakkoon ainoastaan, että se on spefiä ja on paljon luettu kirja. Luulin kirjailijan olevan mies ja luulin kirjan olevan joku vanhempi klassikko teos. Nämä asiat selvisivät ja osoittautuivat vääräksi heti lukemisen alettua. En tiennyt myöskään kirjan tyylilajista (ya dystopia) enkä juonesta ennakkoon mitään. Kaiken tämän jälkeen tarina vei heti mennessään. Pidin rauhallisesta ja yksinkertaisesta kerrontatavasta sekä erilaisen yhteiskunnan kuvailusta ja muutoksesta nuoressa päähenkilössä. Tarinan lopetus oli myös avoimuudessaan onnistunut. Kirja on saanut kolme jatko-osaa, mutta voisi olla viisaampaa jättää tarinan lukeminen tähän. Tarina seisoo hyvin omilla jaloillaan, eikä jatkoja kaipaa. 4½/5

39. A book with a strong sense of place or where the author brings the location/setting to life - J. R. R. Tolkien, Alan Lee, Christopher Tolkien: Gondolinin tuho

Kirjassa esitellään useampi versio samasta tarinasta - kaksi pitkää ja kaksi lyhyttä tarinaa. Lyhyet tarinat olivat lähinnä selontekoa tapahtumista ja siinä mielessä raskaanpuoleista lukea. Pidemmissä tarinoissa kummassakin oli ansionsa ja kompastuskivensä. Viimeinen versio oli laveampi. Siinä tapahtumia kuvattiin aikaisemmilta vaiheilta ja tarkemmin kuin alkuperäisessä versiossa. Ongelmana on vain se, että tarina jäi täysin kesken. Alkuperäisessä versiossa pidin puolestaan ärsyttävänä, kun tehokeinona käytettyä sanontaa "ja katso" käytetään liian usein.

Pitkissä versioissa ympäristöä ja luontoa kuvataan tarkasti, mikä saa tarinan eloon. Myös alkuperäisen tarinan sodan kuvauksessa voi helposti visuaalisesti kuvitella tapahtumat. Tarina itsessään ei kuitenkaan vetänyt vertoja Húrinin lasten tarinalle.

Kirjaa voi pitää myös Tolkien tutkielmana. Kirjassa analysoidaan ja verrataan tarinoita keskenään omassa osiossaan. Kirjan lopussa on nimiluettelo ja muita selityksiä sekä sukupuut. 3-/5

45. A multi-generational saga: Kevin Kwan: Rich People Problems

Kirjassa neljä eri sukupolvea elelee rinnakkain ja tähän trilogian kolmanteen osaan on pitänyt alkuun ympätä jopa sukupuu, jotta ihmisten suhteet toisiinsa olisivat jotensakin selvillä. Vähän väljä tulkinta tähän haastekohtaan mutta menkööt.

35. A psychological thriller Lisa Jewell: Sitten hän oli poissa

Kiinnostuin tästä kirjasta, koska olen kauan sitten lukenut Jewelliltä muutamia chick lit -kirjoja, jotka olivat oikein hyviä. Tämä on ensimmäinen häneltä suomennettu teos vuosiin ja kansiliepeessä sitä kutsutaan psykologikseksi jännitykseksi. En ole kyllä ihan samaa mieltä määritelmän kanssa, sillä kirja ei ollut tippaakaan jännittävä. Tarina oli heppoinen ja epäuskottava eivätkä hahmot tuntuneet todellisilta. Juonenkäänteet ovat ennalta-arvattavia ja loppu lässähtää tyystin. Suorastaan hämmästyttävää miten täydellisesti tästä puuttuu vaaran tunne, vaikka kamalia tapahtuukin. Jewllin pitäisi jättää jännitys sen paremmin taitaville, mutta taidan olla mielipiteineni aika yksin sillä kirja on saanut GR:ssä arvosanaksi yli 4.

23. 4 books inspired by the wedding rhyme: Book #1 Something Old - H. G. Wells: Tohtori Moreaun saari

Alkuperäinen tarina on vuodelta 1896. Luin omistamani vuoden 1986 suomennoksen. Tämä oli haasteiden toinen uudelleen luku kirja. Olin lukenut kirjan aiemmin yli 20 vuotta sitten joten aikaa siitä on. Tarina on eittämättä klassikko ja lie monille tuttu. Tarinan pohjalta on tehty kolme elokuvaa ja se on ollut inspiraation lähteenä muussa kirjallisuudessa, kuten Gene Wolfen kolmessa pienoisromaanissa. 3/5

21. A book from one of the polarizing or close call votes: The Calculating Stars (Mary Robinette Kowal)

Haastekohta "A book about or featuring STEM". Tässä teoksessa oli paljon avaruustekniikkatermistöä yms. Mielenkiintoinen vaihtoehtohistoriatarina, jossa 1950-luvulla asteroidi tömähtää maahan ja tuhoaa osan väestöstä. Lopulle osalle tulee kiire päästä pois maasta ennen kuin ilmasto muuttuu ihmisille sopimattomaksi ja tämä aiheuttaa sen, että avaruusohjelma ottaa isoja harppauksia eteenpäin. Keskiössä on Elma York, joka haluaa olla ensimmäinen nainen avaruudessa, ja hänen matkaansa kohti päämäärää seurataan. Hyvin kirjoitettu, kovin herttainen ja samalla samaistuttava, ja tässä teoksessa on myös yksi parhaiten kuvatuista parisuhteista mitä olen koskaan lukenut.

45. A multi-generational saga: Nine Last Days on Planet Earth (Daryl Gregory)

Oikaisen hiukan. Tämä on Hugo-ehdokas novelli, joten aika lyhyt, mutta tässä seurataan yhden hahmon elämää (hyvin isoilla aikaharppauksilla) lapsesta vanhaksi mieheksi ja mitä kaikkea hänelle tapahtuu ajan saatossa.

47. A book related to food: The Last Banquet of Temporal Confections (Tina Connolly)

Toinen Hugo-ehdokas novelli, ja tässä teoksessa pääosassa on kuninkaan ruuanmaistaja. Hyvin rakennettu juoni, jossa spefielementtinä oli muistoja sisällään pitävät ruuat.

49. A book written by a Far East Asian author: If at First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again (Zen Cho)

Malesialainen kirjailija on kirjoittanut tämän Hugo-ehdokas novellin. Tässä kuvataan imugia, joka haluaa saavuttaa täyden potentiaalinsa lohikäärmeenä. Se vaatii monia yrityksiä.
