when i say this is black & white... it is seriously black & white!! i don't think there's any grey tones at all. the silhouettes and general artwork are extremely well conceived, mightily impacting and brutally stylish. and the writing is just as good. this is neo-noir at it's finest. I can see why Miller is so highly acclaimed for this work. It is extremely hardcore stuff tho, so definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

Những Loài Vật Đáng Kinh Ngạc! - Chim Cánh Cụt - Những Cư Dân Địa Cực Ngộ Nghĩnh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Arfan Alfayyad

This was my first (and likely last) James Patterson novel. The premise is interesting enough and the period in which the novel was set certainly furnishes a rich backdrop on which to craft a compelling narrative. This effort, alas, falls short. As with all too many popular novels, Alex Cross's Trial (in which, by the way, Alex Cross is wholly tangential), never exceeds a 6th grade reading level and contains precisely zero subtlety. If there's a point Patterson wishes to make, prepare to have it beaten over your head and held before your eyes. There is no joy to reading this book. Also, no chapter exceeds four pages in length. Don't get me wrong, short chapters are no sin in and of themselves. However, here, a chapter will end and the next one begin for no discernible reason! No break in the action at all in some places. The only hypothesis that survives scrutiny is that the authors believe that we readers are hamsters with ADHD. Don't worry, Mr. Patterson, we took our Ritalin today! A final complaint, if I might be so-indluged, is that the tone of the character dialogue, is strikingly similar to the tone of the narrative. For the African-American folks, Patterson mixes in some apostrophes and period-appropriate slang. But the characters just weren't believeable. For all its faults, the book held my attention. I kept expecting it to get better and was curious to see where he was going. I was disappointed by it all, but it kept me going. And it is a period of history that we do well to remember, so if people come away with a greater appreciation for the horrors of lynching they will be the better for it. Still not sure that's enough to overcome the book's many faults, however.

I love time travel anything: books, movies, you name it. I also have a warm fondness for quantium physics - go figure. While this book doesn't really go into too much detail about how the time travel works it gives just enough to make you say,"Ok, I'm good. On with the story!" I really liked Kate and Peter and how their relationship fluctuates between a boy and a girl that "shouldn't" like each other to knowing that they have to stick together and even trust each other to make it through their situation. Lots of cliff hangers and I love the descriptions that are given for the way people look and smell! (No one really talks about the smell that must have existed in all the hundreds of years before proper baths and deoderant!)

Just didn't hook me in. May pick it up again. But really a fictionalized Queen didn't strike me as so interesting this first time out.

Chú Nhóc Ở Thành Istanbul - Tự Truyện Của Aziz Nesin Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Aziz Nesin

I am nearly ready to give up on Iris Johansen. Eight Days to Live features Jane MacGuire, the now-young woman who was taken in by Eve Duncan in Johansen's earlier works. The plot keeps things just interesting enough for one to be willing to endure the banal dialogue between nearly all the characters, especially between the principal players: Jane, Seth Caleb and Jock Gavin. Jane is now on the brink of stardom as an artist, with an unusually strong opening in her first solo gallery display. Attention has been drawn to one of Jane's paintings in particular, Guilt, which she painted from her recurring dreams. Apparently, a religious cult believes that she has trespassed against their beliefs and must now face the consequences of those actions. Johansen teases us with laying the groundwork for a truly fascinating character in Jock, but then she manages to hide him even when he is in the scene. We yearn for the development of the relationship between Jock and Jane, or at least more banter between him and the mysterious Caleb. The author does succeed a little in letting the reader appreciate Lina Alsouk, a translator in Switzerland who just happens to keep an AK-47 around for protection. Adah Ziller is intriguing as well, with a history of double-crosses and her power of persuasion--the only trouble is that we only get to know her character after she's dead. One would think that the locales in Eight Days to Live, which include Paris, the Scottish isles, the Swiss Alps and excursions to the Holy Land would yield impressive descriptions. Here again, Johansen fails to even adequately set the scenes, letting the bland characters wallow in their bland surroundings. The plot would draw favorable comparisons to that of Dan Brown's Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, but there is simply not enough detail or color in this book to come within a couple of brushstrokes of those flawed but enjoyable works.

The second book in King's Dark Tower series wasn't as good as the first. There are concepts within this one that are top notch -- don't get me wrong -- but there is less concerning the character of the Gunslinger with him being near death for most of the journey. The three doors an their purpose are tied together well, and I look forward to the next book.

This is very relevant to our families and societies today, I think. Family and open expression of true feeling should come first. This one was always especially tragic to me. People dropping off in Hamlet-- doesn't bug me the same way as the ending of this one.
