Nàng Công Chúa Tuỳ Tiện - Truyện Cổ Tích Thế Giới Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Tiến Hùng

There are a lot of great comic books in the world. There are few that have been as lauded as often as Watchmen has. It is the only comic book to ever win a Hugo award. It is the only comic book to ever appear on Time Magazine's "100 best English-language novels", despite not actually being a novel. It is also being made into a major motion picture that will be released in March 2009. Watchmen begins simply enough. The age of superheroes is over. Most are retired or working directly for the US Government. When the former "superhero" known as the Comedian is killed, the vigilante Rorschach begins investigating the murder. The story then begins to go in directions far removed from a simple murder mystery. In Watchmen, Alan Moore begins to play with many storytelling techniques he would latter perfect, including heavy symbolism, no thought balloons, text pieces inserted into the comic, and even a pirate comic within the comic used as a dramatic echo of the main plot. Using these tools Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons weave a complex morality play. They do not take the easy road and tell you who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they present their characters with a no win moral dilemma, and leave it up to the reader to decide who is right. Watchmen would be innovative if it was released today. It is not surprising people were stunned by it when it was first released in 1987.

What a really great read!! The Vicious Deep definitely is one of my all time favorite mermaid reads and is a really great beach read (I read this one during spring break on the beach..so it got me in the perfect mood to read this book)!! One of my favorite parts about this book was that the book is told from a male point of view. Not many YA books, especially mermaid books, are told from a male perspective so it was really interesting to see a male's take on things. Zoraida Cordova does a fantastic job of making the reader feel like they are going through want Tristan is going through and she makes him really relatable as well. Tristan, probably is my new book crush, can be hysterical at times, but has his moments where he is raw with emotion and is so sincere and I really loved seeing him progress throughout the novel. Another one of my favorite parts about this book was the plot. At first, I didn't really know what to expect about The Vicious Deep. I wasn't sure if this book was about sirens, or mermaids. Once I started, however, I was immediately sucked in and could not put this book down!! I found myself staying up extra late to see what would happen to Tristan next. I don't want to give away any spoilers but I will say that Zoraida Cordova does a really great job of keeping the reader on the edge of his/her seat and making the novel extra suspenseful. Overall, I really really enjoyed The Vicious Deep and I think this has to be my new favorite mermaid book! I loved seeing things from a guys perspective and I really loved the main character Tristan. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series!! If you want a great summer paranormal read then you have to check this book out!

Horrible Histories - Thời Trung Cổ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Terry Deary

Coba tanyakan pada Mariam. Bagaimana rasanya terlahir sebagai anak perempuan di Afghanistan. Apalagi sebagai seorang harami yang harus ‘disembunyikan’ dari lingkungan sosial Jalil. Tanyakan pula bagaimana rasanya dipaksa menikah - pada usia yang masih sangat muda - dengan seorang om-om. Juga, bagaimana rasanya dimadu setelah sekian lama bertahan menghadapi suami yang kerap melakukan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Jangan lupa menanyakan pada Laila bagaimana rasanya melihat orangtuanya yang tadinya akur kemudian bersilang pendapat. Tentang ibunya yang menarik diri dari kehidupan. Tentang tertutupnya akses terhadap pendidikan bagi perempuan. Tentang mimpi yang hancur. Tentang sahabatnya yang batal menikah. Tentang Tariq yang kehilangan sebelah kakinya. Tentang kedua abangnya yang tewas. Tentang menjadi yatim piatu. Tentang … perang yang menjadi penyebabnya. Kira-kira isu itulah yang saya tangkap setelah membaca buku ini. Nasib perempuan Afghanistan di masa pemerintahan Soviet, Mujahidin, dan Taliban. Mimpi-mimpi rakyat Afghanistan yang musnah akibat perang. Terselip juga secuil isu keperawanan, dan akibat menyimpan dendam. Cerita dalam buku ini dibagi menjadi empat babak drama kehidupan. Meski saya kurang begitu suka dengan ending-nya yang agak dipaksakan untuk berakhir indah, tapi setidaknya bisa menggambarkan ada harapan untuk perempuan Afghanistan … jika mereka saling mendukung. Catatan seorang pembaca reseh yang hingga saat ini tidak pernah terpengaruh oleh endorsement: 1. Endorsements di sampul depannya terlalu lebay! 2. Endorsements-nya juga terlalu banyak
