Thuật Nói Chuyện Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tô Minh

I'll write this review for all volumes. "The Invisibles" is 1960's psychedelia wrapped in modern clothing and wrung through every magickal wringer Grant Morrison could reach. Aliens that may or may not be, conspiracies that loop around themselves and the New Buddha in the body of a foul-mouthed Liverpudian boy named Dane. It's a tale of Us vs. Them that eats itself like orobouros.

Làm Chủ Thành Công Của Bạn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ben Newman

This almost got 4 stars from me. The plot is quite interesting; there are twists and turns that keep you guessing as to who the real culprit is, especially since even those who don't turn out to be the villain all seem to have something to hide. And most of the reveals in the end are satisfying and believable. The whole book is squeaky clean. The main character is fairly likable; she's smart and trying to do the right thing, and she makes a few stupid mistakes and bad judgment calls but they all feel authentic, like you can imagine yourself doing the same thing. And the story of her slowly reconciling with her father is surprisingly moving. But there are a few things that drag this back down to 3 stars. The worst offender, in my opinion, is the way the characters and the narrative occasionally turn into encyclopedias. The author's research is interesting and informs the story, but sometimes it's as though there's a chunk that doesn't fit in naturally but, unwilling to discard it, she shoves it into a character's mouth, leading to passages where regular people having a regular conversation suddenly burst out into long and ridiculously detailed paragraphs that begin with Wikipedia-esque phrases like "There are several schools of thought on where the name Fire Island comes from." And I just started skimming the parts where she talks about the many, many steps required in keeping a lighthouse going. Also, the main character is occasionally quite useless and passive; there's a part where someone is wandering around the base of the lighthouse with a lantern, and she wishes that her gentleman friend were there to go check it out. I mean, I understand perfectly well the idea of not wanting to confront someone you don't know alone and in the dark, but watching a character literally waiting up in her tower for someone else to come solve her problems is a little irritating. I mean, she could have done something. And then there's the fact that even though it's set in the 1920s on a small and remote fishing island on the East Coast, EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IS MORMON. Well, almost every character. Now, I am Mormon. I like Mormons a whole lot. But it's a little hard for me to believe in a town thousands of miles from Utah, back when the Church was still fairly small and had a lot fewer missionaries than they do now, where most people you meet are LDS. It was almost a joke by the end, wondering which character was going to wander into Sunday School this time. But it's a sweet little book and quite unobjectionable. And the story of the main character's relationship with her father, with her realizations that despite her always feeling the victim, she herself was in many ways to blame for their estrangement, actually made me reexamine relationships in my own life. And that's pretty high praise you can give a book. So, almost 4 stars.

Very enjoyable novel! Fiction, just love it, particularly after reading two memoirs in a row. This book is nice ensemble of two sisters and their friends/intimates in the build up and let down of the dot.com era. With a Hasidic rabbi and his family in for the ride (and Greek chorus, as well).

Surely written with education in its sight due to the numerous educations links, i.e. The Valley of Sounds, The City of Numbers and The Forest of Sight, what a read for young learners. Full of puns and interesting events, this classic adventure novel has an underlying moral revealing how we sometimes take life for granted. No matter how small or insignificant things may seem we should be able to appreciate what we have.

Những Quy Tắc Trong Công Việc (Tái Bản 2014) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Richard Templar

This book is about two young sisters who sneak out and join in a civil rights rally and march led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The author and illustrator’s notes at the beginning are helpful and it’s made clear this book was created to honor the young people that contributed to the civil rights movement. The prose is lovely and the story is moving but rather slight. The illustrations are truly special. They could be considered black and white; they’re all in grays and browns (even the blue portions of the American flag) except for the red that’s in the roses, the American flag, and the ribbon around the neck of the younger sister’s teddy bear. I don’t think kids would understand what’s going on in the story unless they knew at least a little bit about the civil right’s movement of the 1950s-1960s. But, if it’s not their first book on this subject, it’s a wonderful way to communicate the concept that children can participate in making history and can make valuable contributions.
