Cắt Dán Trang Sức Công Chúa - Công Chúa Lọ Lem Và Công Chúa Bạch Tuyết Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

** spoiler alert ** *Spoiler alert: Review of a sequel, contains info on the earlier book* Gears of the City is the sequel to Thunderer, a fantasy novel that was the author's debut. Both books are set mostly in a sprawling labyrinthine city (called Ararat) that is always changing. The main character, Arjun, sees a lot of these changes because in Thunderer, he gains the ability to walk through hidden "doors" that lead to different times and parts of the city. A lot of the places and time periods Arjun ends up in are roughly equivalent to a dirty Victorian-era city, and the novels have a distinctly steampunk quality. Arjun originally came to the city from a distant land to seek out a missing god of music that had inhabited his monestary and filled the local people with peace. He had many adventures in Ararat and saw many gods and their works, but he didn't find his god of music. Through his travels in the city, he learns that the mountain at the center of the city is a big mystery in every place and time, and begins to suspect that it holds the key to his god's disappearance. The problem is, the mountain makes people crazy. At the beginning of Gears of the City, Arjun has fled from the mountain, devoid of his memory. After meeting a prophetic talking Beast, he finds friends in the local area and begins to recover his memory and remember his mission. But he has started to care more about other people, especially Ruth and Marta Low, two sisters who rescued, hid, and healed him. This sometimes gets Arjun into trouble, as does the presence of a badly-organized police state and the increasing aggression of the mountain itself. Slowly, Arjun begins to unravel the mysteries of the mountain, the Low sisters, and his space-time travel mentor, Shay. Along the way, he gets involved with the adventures of the hilariously pompous libertine Brace-Bel and the third Low sister. What had been a simple quest for a missing god turns out to be infinitely more complicated. This book uses a lot of description to build the fascinating world of the city, so the pacing is on the slower side, but it's worth it. Several of the big characters are compelling, and there's much more of a female presence than in Thunderer. There's definitely a seedy, back-alley Victoriana element to the book and the tone is dark even when it's funny--definitely a fantasy for adult readers. The premise is certainly fresh and interesting, and you'll never expect some of the twists the story takes. I'd recommend these books to people who want to try a different kind of fantasy.

Very good. I like the original "The Bonds that Make us Free" book more, from which this more business-oriented version is based...

Cả Nhà Thương Nhau Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thăng Fly

I have always thought of Stephen King as a "formulaic writer," and yes, that was not a good thing. Reading his memoir/writing guide changed my perspective on that label. He is formulaic, but guess what?! It works and he writes books people want to read. This book on writing has a brutal and honest tone that had me laughing outloud many times. He also does not write this book as a "how to" manual. Instead, he makes suggestions, talks about his trials and errors, and tries to encourage new writers just to BEGIN! as the most important step.

Em Ở Đâu? (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Marc Levy

The best all-around guide to brewing beer. While much of the text is available online, the print addition has much more complete information on everything from sanitation to recipes. While Palmer doesn't cover belgians, which are the new fad, or delve too deeply into high-gravity beers in general, he gives you the workbench to produce excellent session beers like ales, porters, and stouts. (Don't bother with lagering at home unless you're a fanatic). He's also really good as explaining (and dramatizing) the science behind brewing without paraphrasing the textbooks.

Combo Tiểu Thuyết: Hoa Sen Xanh (Bộ 2 Tập) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Chương Xuân Di

I seriously am liking the Ranger's Apprentice series. This third book in the series held my attention. Again, we have some great characters thrust into situations that demand their quickness of thought, calmness, strength, courage, loyalty.... chivalry. Will and Evanlyn are trying to survive...survive the life of slaves. Will has such strength of character that he knows to hold his temper and not be baited into a fight but even with this strength he finds himself in a predicament that I was shocked to learn of. It saddened me to see this situation take away Will's zest for life. Evanlyn, she is a fighter, courageous and strong. She becomes a central role in Will's fight for survival. The Icebound Land did not fail to deliver in an action packed story. A story that has a beginning, middle and ending...a story that was not compromised for action.

Tạo Lập Môi Trường Sống Định Hình Nhân Cách Trẻ (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Rachel Harris

This book is definitely not bad, per se. I just didn't love as much as I expected I would. It was a quick read. Perotta is a decent writer. The action flows really well, and he does a good job of hooking the reader into the story. The problem is that the book is superficial. It is too short to really examine the characters in depth and give the reader any real insight of value into their motivations. Tracy and Mr. M needed a great deal more depth. I didn't get invested in any of the characters. I didn't care what happened to them. I found that as much as I enjoyed the book when I was reading it, it didn't stay with me when it was over I would say that the book is worth reading, if you haven't seen the movie. I wouldn't, however, rush to read the book, or spend alot of money on it. If you can find a cheap used copy, or it's available in your local library and there's nothing else available that you're dying to read, this book is certainly worth reading -- it won't take long, and it is engrossing. Just don't expect it to be anything special.
