Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Diêm Chí Dương

I'm not exactly one of those attention-deficit kids who needs awesome explosions every page, but damnit, this novel is slow and wandering and, for far too many pages, pointless. Despite being titled "The Last Man" and being ostensibly about a worldwide plague, the word "plague" is first mentioned 40% of the way through -- just after two of the main characters of the soap opera that occupies the preceding pages HAVE ALREADY DIED waiting for the story to get to the point. At best, this novel is valuable in an academic way, to see, in the proto-SF of the early 19th century (before Verne and Wells really established "scientific romances"), how little authors could imagine the world changing with the passage of time. "the Last Man" is supposedly set in the late 21st century, but being set prior to the automobile, the wireless, etc., we have a world of horses and handwritten letters transported between continents via boat, and a British monarchy which is finally giving way to republicanism. This is even prior to Louis Pasteur, so when the plague (finally) strikes, there is of course no awareness of how communicable diseases spread except by "bad air." I had hoped that this book would complement "Frankenstein" and place Shelley as the originator of two of the most powerful tropes in modern SF. And it may; I'm just not reading further to find out.

I read this when I was pretty young, and I still felt the profoundness of this book. I have a new copy to read this again now that I'm an adult. It's definitely in the "new-age" category, and although I don't consider myself into that type of genre, I think this book surpasses where you want to place it on a bookshelf and is truly just an amazing book.

Asari - Cô Bé Tinh Nghịch - Tập 42 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mayumi Muroyama

i first read this when i was 15 and was trying to develop some self esteem. it was important to me because beneath all the characters' intertwining stories, it's really about beauty and what happens when we allow someone else or society to define what makes a person beautiful. Often those standards are are unattainable and imposed and passed on to our young people, as it was in Morrison's character Pecola Breedlove. I needed this book then and every so often i re-read now.

The exhaustive research makes up for the unremarkable writing. Reading it in Rome bumps it up from three stars to four.

Oprah Winfrey: "Những Điều Tôi Biết Chắc" Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Oprah Winfrey

By far my favorite Heinlein book. It has artificial intelligence, revolution, love (between the AI and his engineer) and the throwing of large rocks at the Earth. The perfect formula for good Sci-Fi.

I read chunks of this book slowly, in a group. Some of Dosick's insights are really interesting and I liked his approach to aspects of the law, even if I disagree with some of his underlying logic. That said, he can be very morally superior about other religions (usually, when he says "other religions" he means Christianity) in ways that highly over simplify Christian belief, practice, and diversity.

Thám Tử Lừng Danh Conan Tập 66 (Tái Bản 2014) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This is the story of Jamie Dexter, an army brat, who is infatuated with the idea of war - the honor, the patriotism, the duty. Jamie is so proud of her brother, TJ, when he enlisted in the Vietnam War, and it isn't until her brother sends her roll after roll of film from Vietnam that Jamie sees what real war is really like - after that, she is not sure just how much of "real war" she truly likes. I am really liking the writing style of Frances O'Roark Dowell. I recently read Dovey Coe, which I loved, and now this one, Shooting the Moon, which I really enjoyed. Dowell is a new voice in young adult literature for me, and I will definitely read more of her writing in the future.

Thất Giới Truyền Thuyết - Tập 3 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tâm Mộng Vô Ngân

4.5 stars. This is a very good book. I will immediately explain why it's not a full 5-star rating. I think the author didn't explain Dorina, the heroine. I was a little bit annoyed by all this rage fits and the fact that Dorina blacks out during these crises. I was even more annoyed that later in the book the author explained beautifully how the dark nature of Dorina was taking over. I think that making her aware of this wilder part of her nature during her fits could have made her more interesting. The action part was very well done and written and it was also pretty original, in my opinion. The setting is very rich and varied and there's space for a lot of future development. Moreover there's very little info dumping and that's very positive for a first book in a series. I know that the author has a whole different series with characters that spill over here, and I haven't read that one yet, so I don't know how they are related and if the info dumping didn't occur because many things were explained in the other series. Anyway, it worked. The romance part wasn't as strong in my opinion, but maybe it's because the vampire Louis-Cesare and the dhampir Dorina have to work out a lot of issues. They are born enemies, since vampires treat dhampirs as abomination, given their half-breed nature, and dhampirs may become insane and slaughter everyone in their fits and may hunt vampires. I liked the way they kept in check their attraction and the fact that it was never really clear if their heart was in it. Dorina's family was great. Mircea, her father, is a wonderful character, his warmth and loyalty transpires in spite of Dorina's biased opinion of him. Radu is weird but fascinating. All the secondary characters were fleshed out. Stinky was adorable. As I said before, I really enjoyed this book, it just missed a little spark. I'm going to read the next.
