Moby Dick - Cá Voi Trắng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Herman Melville

For more reviews check out: http://hypnosomnus-leighmarbella.blog... and http://sybillinebooks.tumblr.com/ I was able to do a couple of things on my very rare day off yesterday. First of all I had to catch up on a lot of sleeping and reading. I finished Pandemonium which is the second book from the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver. And I have to say that I enjoyed this book as well. And yes, I’ve been reading a lot of dystopian novels this year. Anyway, the story is told in Lena’s POV which is told in two different chapters which is the Then and Now. Watch out for new characters as well. The story takes off a few months after the events from the first book which is Delirium. Lena is now with the Invalids in the Wilds after Alex sacrificed his life for her survival. I appreciated Lena even more in this second novel. I think she grew up to be a very strong female character. A survivor or a fighter as one might say. I wanted to comfort her during the first parts of the novel since she was sullen and moody most of the time because of her loss. Anyway, I still love the fact that after everything that she’s been through she still managed to grow up and become a strong heroine. There were new characters introduced in the novel as well. The other Invalids plus a new male character called Julian that would probably add a twist in the third novel which is Requiem. I actually like Julian. His innocence is somehow refreshing and I’m actually leaning towards him in a way. Oh, don’t get me wrong I absolutely adore Alex but I am currently in love with Julian after reading Pandemonium. Anyway, to sum it all up I think the first half of the novel was little slow for my taste but as I got deeper into it I just found myself immersed in it completely. The subtle hints of romance between Julian and Lena was just so adorable and I can’t help but root for them up until the very end. I think the latter half of the novel made up for the slowness of the first few chapters of the book. I also liked the fact that even if this book is about love and all that stuff it wasn’t written in this typical cheesy kind of way. Ms. Oliver didn’t write a story about a maiden who is just smitten and in love. She wrote about a strong female who is a fighter and a lover as well. Anyway, I’m giving this a 4/5 star rating. Oh yeah, the ending is just something to die for. What a cliffhanger! haha.

Nàng Tiên Hoa Sen - Nước Quan Trọng Như Thế Nào? Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mei Rini

** spoiler alert ** For pre-school children we know that there is safety in the familiar. A toddler can move halfway around the world but as long as the familiar caretakers and favoured toys are there, along with some semblance of routine, he or she won’t notice the change. I thought about that a lot while I read this novel. And this is an incredible novel. Not only is this written from the perspective (and syntax!) of a five-year old boy, but this boy was born into captivity after his mother was abducted, raped, and held against her will. Room is the only home Jack knows and his mother finds ingenious ways to keep him occupied and educated, healthy and protected in a space the size of a garden shed. This is truly where the genius of the novel lies, as we have to slowly comprehend the situation through Jack’s explanations. The significance of certain activities did not become clear to me until the second half of the novel, which I think shows Donoghue’s talent and her understanding of how children interpret and explain their own worlds, and can enjoy the security that can be found with a parent, in a scary situation. Her representation of Ma as both a caring mother and captive woman is also a lovely character study. The book, however, falters in the second half and I think is because the writer has to struggle with a lot of other influences, not unlike Jack. I also found it hard to believe some of the changes in Jack’s Ma, but again, there are other factors at play. There were some other interactions with adults that I found downright irresponsible, which made it hard to really believe in the characters. Perhaps it was the pressure to move the story along that was responsible for these less developed characters and unrealistic situations but the last section of the book was definitely missing the nuances of the first half. At the same time, there were moments in the earlier part of the novel when I wondered when things would change, so it might just be hard to balance this shift in tenor of the novel. Donoghue managed to avoid any heavy-handed commentary on isolation in modern cities, but I enjoyed a few veiled attacks on the media frenzy that surrounds these situations and the label of “freak” that is given to survivors. As I read this book, I fell in love with Jack and understood him to be a relatively normal, curious, intelligent child, who just hasn’t had much experience with being outside his Room. He can learn that. I think that’s most of what I appreciated about this book, that is showed the nurture side of parent-child relationships as it invited readers to think about how our knowledge of the world around us is shaped by our experiences.

Title: Sealed with a Diss Author: Lisi Harrison Series: The Clique #8 Rating: ★★★★ Summary: The Clique knows something you don't know... Massie Block: Stands at the threshold of the most ah-mazing secret room at OCD. But to prove the Pretty Committee is worthy of the honor, the girls need dates to Skye Hamilton's "famous couples" costume party. On top of all that, Massie has to convince her old crush, Chris Abeley, to be Skye's date... or else they can kiss the room-and their popularity-goodbye. How will she ever get her girls suitable dates and melt Chris's heart? She'd need to be a mind reader! Luckily for the PC, alpha status just happens to come with ESP... not the actual superpower, but a secret weapon that shows them exactly how boy brains work. Kristen Gregory: Loves supersensitive guys, and thanks to ESP, has her eye on a boy who loves The Notebook as much as she does. So why on earth is she going to Skye's party as the Bride of Chucky? Alicia Rivera: Diss-missed her crush, Josh Hotz, for having a bizarrely clean room. Then ESP tells her Josh's sister is actually the neat freak, and suddenly hawt Hotz looks hawter than ever. Dylan Marvil: When ESP clues her in to the fact that guys-plural- like a girl who's not afraid to eat, it's all mozzarella sticks for this former Jenny Craig groupie. Will gaining six pounds make her regret trusting her sixth sense? Claire Lyons: As the only Pretty Committee girl with a real boyfriend, the date-mission should be a breeze. But when her newfound Claire-voyance tells her Cam's hiding a huh-yuge secret from her, his gifts of gummies leave a stale taste in her mouth. ESP? Extra Sucky Problem is more like it. The Clique...The only thing harder than getting in is staying in. Review: Alpha against alpha. It's on. Things I Loved: Massie is fierce, flawless, and devious. It's an interesting read. Things I Hated: The plot for the "secret room" might be stretching out too much.
