Đạo - Con Đường Không Lối Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Osho

While long, the book did keep me entertained for several months. Not entirely fiction, the book has quite a bit of Tolstoy's views on war thrown in there, so I felt like I learned a lot about Tolstoy reading the book.

Tiếng Anh Thật Vui - Động Vật Quanh Em Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tịnh Lâm

This was an enjoyable, quick read, about a woman who is "Bound South." She married her high school sweetheart, lives in a fabulous house in Atlanta, has a daughter and a son. Seems like the perfect life, but things are always more complicated than they seem. I wish the author had done more with the daughter, Caroline, in this book. Caroline was a fascinating, multi-faceted character and I feel like this book would have benefitted more from her story from her point of view. The book is told in three voices... Louise (the mom), Caroline (the daughter), and Melissa (the housekeepers daughter). There are some surprising moments in the book, some funny, some less funny. Overall, it was a great read.

I really wanted to like Pigeon, but I guess I'm just not hip enough. The sarcastic children's book has been done to death, and I'm over the entire ouevre. I'll stick to actual books for kids for my 1-yr old, and will read Go the Fuck to Sleep if I want to read a kids' book geared toward parents.

101 Câu Chuyện Học Sinh Cần Đọc Giúp Các Em Kiên Trì Và Nỗ Lực Vươn Lên Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngọc Linh

Despite crude, often unintentionally hilarious writing and a mix-and-match jumble of a plot, this novel actually delivers the goods when it comes depicting the Count himself. Lory's Dracula is powerful, formidable and truly nasty - but he is also a sort of vampire on a leash, controlled in an ingenious manner by an aging American crime-fighter who apparently wants to use the Count as a tool against evil. All that happens here, however, is that a pair of nasty gold-diggers get their comeuppance and Dracula's secret treasure trove is kept secret. Lory was clearly building a highly involved mythos around Dracula, in this case interweaving elements of the vampire legend with tales of Atlantis and even a Lovecraftian touch. I can't argue with the appeal of that sort of pulp-fictional invention, but I did find that Lory's clumsy attempts at a prose style subtracted something from the enjoyment of his goofy, action-packed plot and the occasional effective moment of horror.

To the Daughter with the Loveliest Smile Ever Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Helen Exley

Let me begin by saying this: adults, please do not be put off by the fact that this is categorized as a young adult book. Don't feel squirmy because it's not in the adult section of the library. Read it anyways. Heck, I can recommend about a dozen other Young Adult books you should read while your at it. Just... don't judge a book by where it's shelved, please. Thanks for listening to my public service announcement - now on to the review! *ahem*. I read this book, cover to cover, in one day. It grabbed me right from the start. There's a stark poetry to it, though every now and then you have to pause, let the words settle into you, run your fingers through them to let the beauty of the image become real. Suzanne gives you the foundation and expects you to take the next step. There was more than one occasion that I'd be partway through the next paragraph before an image really hit me and made me go "oh, wow - I like that!" The history of how this dystopian future came about is sketchy at best, but that too is handled well. Since the book is told from the Point of View of a 16 year old girl, when someone else relates the hows and whys of getting to here and now, she phases out a bit, glosses the details. It works. And the world itself, that here and now, is well crafted, down to a few startling details. There are a few occasional slips, and I found myself laughing at those times the author herself caught them with a quick edit explaining how on earth our starved and downtrodden heroine could possibly know what orange juice or velvet is. From time to time I did find the flashbacks to be annoying - they dragged me out of the story, the current action, to give me fragments of a past that I don't really need right at that moment, at least not in such depth. Small things set these flashbacks off - the sight of a gold pin or a dandelion can trigger pages of reminiscing. Mostly I like the characters, though a few of them seem rather one-sided - Effie Trinket comes to mind, a bubbly woman in a world that has no place for bubbly. She never really goes beyond that. Also, I will totally admit to having cried at one of the deaths (oh, don't act like I'm spoiling anything! It's a book about KIDS KILLING EACH OTHER - of course there's death!) And the main character, Katniss, was someone I really enjoyed. She was both strong and weak all at once, often lost herself in trivial details in order to cope with what was happening around her, and all that made her not only real, but human - which we desperately need when we're thrown into such an inhumane setting. You might think that, in a setting like this, you'd be lost in the action, the blood. You aren't. Suzanne's message is about that humanity you see in Katniss, the MC - it's about being pulled in half, about rebelling to save a piece of who you are in a place that tries to strip that from you. That's not to say that Katniss, when she does her own part in the killing, breaks down. She doesn't. She has a strength in those moments when she is forced to act, and she even kills not because she has to, but because she chooses to. She is not a passive child filled only with reaction: she acts on her own, and does so with brilliance, passion, and determination. She does not regret her actions, or perhaps more accurately, her kills. She takes them in stride, and moves on. When I reached the end, I didn't feel left hanging per se, but I desperately needed to know what came next. I was flustered. I wanted to go pick up book 2 that moment and devour it as I had the first. I can only hope that it will be just as good.

Trôi Theo Dòng Đời (Tái bản lần 2) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bảy Nam

1990 Hugo Award Winner. This book is one of the better Hugo Award winners I've read. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is its lack of conclusion. I guess I just have to read the next book huh.

Đừng Tin, Chém Gió Đấy!!! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Người FSOFT

I liked the first couple of chapters, although there was actually less math that I thought there would be. Most of it is just common sense, learning to spot the ways that statistics can be manipulated to proof a point, sell something, deceive. After the first couple of chapters, however, there's less math and more discussion of how the political process (polls, elections, vote-counting) are manipulated through various means. If nothing else, this book should teach you to be mistrustful of any conclusion based on "mathematical evidence." Numbers may not lie, but liars use numbers to distort the truth all the time.
