Triền Sông Thơ Ấu Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Cute book that's a perfect board book style. Musical simple rhymes on one side of the 2-page spread, cartoonish, but cute pictures of multicultural babies on the other. Some board books try to condense longer books, or contain too many words of text, or have pictures that are too complicated for this smaller format. This book falls into none of those traps. Good book for a young baby!

Laura Bush - Chân Dung Đệ Nhất Phu Nhân Nước Mỹ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ronald Kessler

The preparation part of the Jackal's assassination fascinated me, but I found some of the descriptions of the French ministers' ministers a little boring, and contrived, but perhaps these descriptions were supposed to mirror the people at the meeting. Overall, a good read.

Mỗi Ngày 10 Ý Tưởng Rèn Luyện "Cơ Bắp" Sáng Tạo Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Claudia Azula Altucher

The book was okay. It was nice to see such a strong, independant female character. The last 2 pages almost ruined it for me though. The whole bit about what the characters are doing in the future... yeah, that whole part was very "cheesy" and completely uneccessary. If she wanted to leave the story for another book she should have just left it for another book and not mentioned it. Otherwise the book was fine.

Dẫn Luận Về Tâm Thức (Trọn Bộ 4 Cuốn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Why do I keep reading memoirs? Because I keep hoping that people write them because they feel their life has something in common with the rest of us. Not to find out that a book is written by a spoiled "poor little rich mom" who becomes an armchair psychologist and can't stop spending thousands of dollars on boutique self-help programs. Now let's step back. You can read the description yourself and infer that this is a story about a teen runaway who enters an extremist reform school and ultimately becomes best friends with her mom. That is certainly part of the book, and in fact the best part of the book. Mia (the daughter) writes part of the story and her perspective is fascinating and personable--I think it really captures the mind of a troubled teen and its maturation into adult sensibility. Claire (the mom), on the other hand, is a small child in an adult's body whose "maturation" is long overdue and again, costs likely tens of thousands of dollars. She tells of an abusive husband who is to blame for the major psychological problems of both her and her daughter. Oh, and Claire's mom was cold to her as a child, so that's also why she is so messed up. Really? Really? I thought this fatalistic, Freudian view was archaic enough that we weren't still talking about it as the sole sculptor of adult mental illness. Claire insists that Mia's "stuff" has everything to do with being sexually abused as a child and very little to do with being raised by an incredibly neurotic mother. While Claire finally gets it (somewhat) at the end, the preceding narrative completely discredits all of the therapists, counselors, and friends who have been telling her so all along. Claire ultimately can't admit that she is supposed to be the adult here. In addition, the New Age-y "Discovery" and "Focus" programs in which Claire and Mia participate couldn't possibly work for the rest of us. I have no beef with self-confrontation workshops and their capacity for mental discipline, but let's be real here. The average tuition in 2005 for a school like those described in this book--ironically, schools affiliated with the organization abbreviated WWASP--was $50,000. Tell me about the families who really need their delinquent children in therapy who can afford that. It was just so frustrating to read this book when Claire was talking. Mia I have no problem with--she's both a victim of her upbringing and a normal teen, and the reason this book gets 3 stars. But the issue is that the book is dominated by Claire's self-important wallowing. The New York Times Book Review called this "a testament to the power of the love between a mother and a daughter." To me it felt like a testament to the power of money and manipulative seminars to place a Band-Aid on the repression, boredom, and waste of the upper class.

Tự Học 600 Chữ Kanji Căn Bản (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: The Sakura

Just ok. The suspense was there but somehow the story just fell flat. I just read this last week but had to scroll through my list to remember what I had read. In summary, this book kept my attention but wasn't very memorable. Not this authors best work.

Sau Những Giọt Nước Mắt - Tái bản 03/2009 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bùi Bình Thi

So depressing. The poverty, the lonliness. I am sure this is what many families growing up in poor, depressed areas had to look forward to every day. But the one thing that I did find was no matter how bad times were or what crises the families or individuals were going through they went through these times as a family. Each one pitching in and helping out.

Thần Thoại Hy Lạp Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Đoàn Doãn

Many of my male friends in college recommended this book to me, so i finally read it in the summer of '04, my first summer away from home. Those who recommended the book to me acted as though this book changed their life, so I might have gone into it with high expectations. I did not find it as "enlightening" as they did, though I did enjoy it. The author has some good insight into the mind's of Christian men, though I feel he over-dramatizes certain ideas in the book. I would recommend the book to any man who would like to hear idea on men and their relationship to God, but I would encourage readers to decide, on their own, how much/little the book applies to their own lives. Enjoy.
