Although the first few pages didn't grab me, I really fell into this after the first chapters and thoroughly enjoyed his descriptions of life in London, and New York and Arizona (!) and Los Angeles. Cole Porter, Mick Jagger, Diana Vreeland, Diana Cooper, Princess Diana - he frequented them all. Lots of wonderful parties and houses and fashions. Good fun.

Theodore Boone: The Abduction Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: John Grisham

I am glad I read this when I did. If I had read it, like my friend Melinda did, on the heels of "Extremely Loud..." I probably would have felt cheated. But, as it stands, on it's own, I really really liked it. Very clever. ( Do they write together, this is the question? Reminds me of Erdrich and Dorris)

Tò Mò Khám Phá - Tại Sao Hoa Có Màu Sặc Sỡ? Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hòa Bình

Okay. I came thisclose to posting on amazon.com about how terrible this book was, but I decided against it. The writer's karma and all. But I can't restrain myself. This book was a waste of my money. It had a unique concept behind it: two characters, Mark and Phillippa, were both spurned by their lovers writing hit singles about them. Mark was dubbed "Two Minute Man" by his girlfriend Raquel (ROCK-L in the music world) and Phillippa's loser punk boyfriend wrote an angry song called "Phillippa Cheats". I picked it up, read this, and thought, "Huh. This sounds kind of cool." No. Not cool at all. Here's the problem. Or the many. First is that the author, Brendan Halpin, alternates POV between Mark and Phillippa. That can be done if the author can adapt to different genders. Tom Perrotta did a great job in Election, for example. Halpin, however, has no clue how the female brain works. Phillippa seems fixated with her own breasts and mentions them basically every page, and sadly, that's a guy thing to do. And when she talks about sex, she sounds like she's what Halpin would want or narcisstically imagine his girlfriends would say about him when performing. The sex scenes are actually almost laughable. The second is that Halpin can't decide what route he wants to take with Mark. Is Mark a sexually inexperienced boy? Is that why Raquel wrote that song? That question is never answered, and by the time Mark is engaged in sex toward the end, he is suddenly a sex-god. From "Two-Minute Man" to sexual deity? Yeah, I don't think so. But that's only a small glitch. Mark is, for most of the book, a proclaimed "nice guy", the "sensitive guy", the one who gets girls without trying. But he's not--he's calculating, insensitive, callous, and oblivious. I never saw the nice guy. At all. The only time he became nice is when he was wounded over being dumped, or whenever he talked about his sister that died, the only part of the story that had depth. But Halpin seems to be terrified of giving any real meaning so he refrains from giving too much story about the sister and instead focuses on what Mark says about it, which isn't very much. The third is Phillippa. She gets involved in an unhealthy relationship (abusive, actually) and then finds out she's pregnant. So she fakes her own death to run away with the baby and start over. Um. I don't even think I have to touch that one. Completely unbelievable and the woman she's "rebirthed" into has absolutely no remnances of Phillippa's personality. And I'm sorry, but personality traits don't just disappear, fake death or not. And I find it really hard to believe that she spent the rest of her life not getting into contact with her father or the couple of friends who did care about her. It's very tutonic and bland, and frankly, worthy of a page skipping here and there. And the fourth, again, is the POV rotation. Mark and Phillippa finally meet toward the end, and they tell each chance meeting or encounter through their own eyes. And they're god awful. They each say exactly what the other character has said, only with presumptions of what the other is thinking (and of course, is verified by the other character in the next chapter). It was a waste of words and chapter space. Don't they have editors for this kind of repetition? I kept hoping it would get better, but it only got worse. I think my point has been made.

Cánh Đồng Lưu Lạc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

This book has an interesting concept but it was a little too drawn out. When authors try to write books about their eye opening experiences, they tend to write more about how they got there than the actual experience, thus was the case with this book. I thought it would be more adventurous, but he talked more about the girl who dumped him before the wedding and broke his heart.

Khi Thiên Thần Mất Đi Đôi Cánh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Hmm. I was expecting to be blown away. And I wasn't. From what everyone else has said, I think I'm the odd man out. I wasn't that impressed with any of - the writing, the characters, the story. I am definitely not in the "oh, it will haunt me forever, I'll never forget it" camp. In fact, I'm starting a new book right now and I'm not looking back... Okay, I take that back. I'm not over it yet. I'm having a flashback to being annoyed. I detested the use of "...because of what happened next" (and that phrase, or something like it, was used A LOT). After getting so excited about "what happened next" the first time, I was sooooo let down every time after. Nothing happened. At least nothing to get worked up about. Nothing that deserved the teaser, at least. I'm still annoyed. And no, a book does not deserve to be "memorable" just because it irks its reader with its mediocre and annoying writing techniques. Okay, NOW I'm over it. :-)

This was where the Dark Tower series fell apart for me... I could never bring myself to finish this one, and now it's in a box somewhere. Never did get to finish out the series... maybe one of these days...
