Người Xa Lạ Và Em (Tái Bản) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Meggie Phạm

For quite a while I thought there was something special about long-time favorite books. Something like a block or a mental brick wall that kept me from being able to put words on a page and describe how I loved that story, and how much the reading and re-reading of it changed me. Well, there IS a special magic surrounding old, favorite and familiar tales, but I’ve worked myself around to being able to write about them (a bit). Robin McKinley is one of my most favorite authors, and her adult fantasy (paranormal? urban fantasy?) Sunshine is one of her best books. The other day I needed sunshine in my life, and I picked it up off the shelf for an extremely well-timed re-read. Sunshine is a young, perfectly ordinary (she thinks!) girl with a loving, messy, normal family. The only thing is, her world is full of the Others, including demons, Weres, and the Darkest Others, vampires. But you can get through life pretty well as long as you avoid the dangerous parts of town and have a modicum of good sense and luck. At least, that’s how it should be. It turns out that Sunshine’s life won’t be so simple after she decides to drive out to the lake one summer night. My friends know about my thing for zombies, but I usually protest that I don’t read about vampires. This is the book that proves me a hypocrite. It’s not that these are seductive vampires. No, they are the utterly alien, terror-in-the-night kind. But as Sunshine discovers, her destiny lies in a gray area, and she won’t get to pick the cut-and-dried human ‘side.’ She’ll have to live with impossibilities. The story that takes her on that journey is fascinating and (as I said) an all-time favorite. McKinley has created an entire world with unnamed Wars in recent history, a vampire menace, partblood discrimination, and a friendly coffee shop at its center. However, the story’s focus is Sunshine, and her first-person narration is what makes the book work. She’s self-deprecating, funny, afraid, and wants to cling to the normality she knows. At the same time, she finds that unnameable courage and strength needed to face evil, to keep on living, and to choose the right thing, even when it all seems bleak. She’s no perfect heroine, and that, I think, is one of the reasons why readers will fall in love with her. The thing that resonated most with me this re-read was the juxtaposition of Sunshine’s primal urge to make food and feed it to people (a metaphor for creation and nurture), and her mission/calling to do what she can to destroy evil (killing, getting her hands dirty). Sunshine also grapples with the questions of how to be a good person while doing something that she fundamentally disagrees with, how to keep the balance of light and dark in her life, and if there is such a thing as a visible taint of evil. I find that the best books will speak different messages to you at different points in time. I felt very adult this time ‘round, reading Sunshine. It was… interesting. In any case, it’s still a wonderful, immediate, funny, dark sort of pleasure, and I’m sure it’ll remain on the favorites shelf for years to come. Recommended for: anyone interested in paranormal and urban fantasy, fans of Emma Bull, Neil Gaiman and Sharon Shinn, and those who appreciate the full immersion experience in a character and fantastical world.

same as the others by Hilderbrand... an easy summer read. Dislikes on this one include all the love triangles (love hexagons?)

A bit more graphic and gory than the typical Blaldacci novel. Holds one's attention but definitely not a bedtime story.

Truyện Kinh Dị Không Thể Kể Lúc Nửa Đêm - Họng Quỷ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lê Vỹ Thắng

Excellent exploration of psychological torment, paranoia, and alienation, with a bizarre twist at the end -- Christian redemption! Big swaths are very boring, but the interesting parts are very interesting. Unfortunately, I didn't read the best translation, so maybe it would have been more consistently compelling if I had...

A few interesting tidbits, but for the most part I'd hope any internet marketer already knows this stuff. This is geared mostly towards the high-end level of management and I don't doubt Google put it out as a way to convince business owners to spend more money (or any money) on Google advertising - not that they shouldn't be. In fact, business owners really should consider what is in here, but Google most certainly does not have completely altruistic motives for putting this out.

This came out after FOTR, so it is not particularly comprehensive for the entire trilogy, but there are some nice images.
