Nhà Có 3 Vịt Giời - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Matsumoto Purittu

I had a hard time picking out a star rating for this book. Three felt too generous and two felt too stingy. As much as I liked certain aspects of it, it was let down by what I saw as several serious problems. The premise is attractive: a man named Jonas wakes up to find himself apparently the last living soul on Earth, microorganisms and plants excluded. Glavinic takes a very interesting approach here, following Jonas's path through his hometown of Vienna in his attempts to find other people and/or discover what happened to everyone. Other reviewers here have referenced the obvious comparisons, I Am Legend and The Quiet Earth, and I agree that those are more successful books. The problem is that Glavinic starts out with such a huge premise... and then sort of makes it the backdrop for an exploration of the self fracturing in circumstances of extreme, traumatic isolation. That's how I interpreted it, anyway. But this would have worked better had there not been so many hints that other forces might be at work, that some immense payoff was imminent. The sheer length of the book works against the premise, as well. Around page 200, I got annoyed and started skimming. Around page 300, things finally seemed to be happening again, and I re-entered the story, both relieved and disappointed to realize I hadn't missed much. If the whole book was meant to be about one man coming undone in an inexplicably emptied-out world, Glavinic does the reader no favors by subjecting him or her to nearly 400 pages of it. A final concern is that several obvious factual questions aren't addressed: If all the people are gone, how does the power stay on? If insects, birds, and mammals disappear, how does environmental collapse not follow in fairly short order? Did these things need to be dealt with? Perhaps; perhaps not. In its favor, the writing itself (with the caveat that this is a translation) is excellent. Settings are exquisitely rendered; Vienna itself is almost a secondary character here. Glavinic writes with a clear sense of who his protagonist Jonas is. Tension builds. A creeping sense of dread hangs over the book: you get the sense something awful is going on. (The only problem is that this great build-up then goes around in circles.) There's a lot here that is thought-provoking and worthy and good, but in the end, it doesn't all come together. Writing all this, I've finally realized which book this reminded me of the most: Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. There are thematic similarities: an exploration of the self, cities as symbolic constructs, mysteries hanging just beyond the protagonist's grasp. Murakami did this much, much better (as if anyone who knows me didn't see that comment coming), delivering the payoff but still ending on a note that is at once wrenching, mind-blowing, and yet intimate. Night Work didn't need to be a American-style thriller to work, but it's too long for the psychological insight and intimacy it's trying for, about 25% of it being skimmable. The verdict: Long literary foreplay but no shag at the end; instead of putting out, your partner drags you out of bed to eat popcorn and watch a documentary.

Tinh Thông Toán Học - Mastering Mathematics (Dành Cho Trẻ 9-10 Tuổi) - Quyển A Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lilian Yeo

Descended By Blood by Angeline Kace is a solid debut. While I did have some issues with the storyline, the excitement of the plot kept me happily reading. First of all, my main compliant lies with the main character, Brooke. Let’s just say that she is incredibly melodramatic. I felt like she was crying every two seconds. She was definitely an emotional character. This was only worsened by the fact that Brooke’s relationships formed at a breakneck speed. Brooke falls in love with two separate boys in an incredibly short span. First she dates Jaren for a few days then has a massive breakdown when she finds out that he may reconnect with his ex. Then, skip ahead a few weeks and they are head over heels in love. Then, Mirko is introduced, things get rocky with Jaren and suddenly she loves them both. I understand that it is possible to have feelings for more than one person at a time and I can even buy into the fact that “love” is easy to come by as a teenager. But I just cannot get behind the fact that Brooke falls for two guys so quickly and so completely. She doesn’t really know either one, never mind the fact that she is constantly fighting for survival. Does she really have time to be worrying about her love life? That being sad, I still do like Brooke and Mirko together. As a reader, I can go for the good boy or the bad boy. It really just depends on the specific relationship between the characters. And I really did not like the relationship between Brooke and Jaren. I did not really feel their chemistry and to be honest, he just really annoyed me. Jaren is the first to be introduced and as I read, I found myself waiting to see what was behind door number two. I knew there was a love triangle in the book and I could not wait to meet Mirko. While I said before, I feel the relationship between him and Brooke moved too quickly, I still feel they would be good together. Hopefully in the next book we will see more of the little things between them; see them slowly learn each other. The story itself was fast-paced and full of excitement. Even though I did not exactly love Brooke, I still found the storyline intriguing. Kace introduces a complex vampire world that is incredibly fun to piece together and work out. I hope she expands on all the vampire politics in the upcoming sequel, because I found them utterly fascinating. All things considered, I enjoyed Descended By Blood. While I found flaws with the story and characters, I still found it be entertaining. And when it comes down to it, isn’t that what we want as readers? Sometimes your brain needs a vacation and you just want to escape into an excitement, thrilling world.

To Understand English - Lớp 2 (Kèm 1 CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Joanna LE MAY

Between by Jessica Warman is a book that once you start you find it hard to put down, and when you do you find yourself thinking about the book and what is going on in it, this is what I love about a good book it can catch you attention from the beginning and hold it until the end. I love the way that the Author decided to introduce the characters in the book especially the main character and I like how she made it first person from Liz's point of view so that you the reader are learning Liz's story with her, making the story seem more personal and lets you connect with the character so that you feel for her when things are happening. I like that the book had moments in the past and the present and I think that the Author did a great job to make sure that the reader was not confused as to when it was the past and when it was the present. It was also nice how the book showed how people looked from the popular side all the way to the 'unpopular' side of school from Liz's memories to Alex's. It was nice to see that the characters were not two dimensional, that they had personalities and like everyone else felt pain, and that none of the characters was perfect with no flaws, it made it easier to relate to the characters in the book. If you find yourself with a copy of this book and like mystery and learning experiences then this is the book for you, i really think that people should give this book a chance its great! **Spolier Part Read At Your Own Risk Of Spoiling A Good Book** They do mention drinking a driving in this book if that bothers you then please do not read this book.

Vẽ Em Bằng Màu Nỗi Nhớ (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tâm Phạm

I am unsure what to think. The themes of responsibility and revolutionary ethics should have been of natural interest to me, but somehow I found the treatment bland and superficial. I expected to be troubled or surprised... and never was. Perhaps what Schlink wanted to say is that former terrorists and activists are as boring and bored as regular people? They become less than they had hoped to become, unless maybe they die in the act. Karin's admonition to Marko makes a key point: "You think Jörg is nothing if he isn't what he wanted to become? You think everyone who doesn't fulfill his hopes is nothing? Few people, in that case, are anything. I don't know anyone whose life has turned out as he dreamed it would." (p. 144) Perhaps this summarizes the book well.

Kể Chuyện Các Nhạc Sĩ Thiên Tài - Chopin Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lene Mayer-Skumanz

Interesting, in that way that it's sort of enjoyable to read about people with mental illnesses that you're glad you don't have. (e.g. Set This House in Order; The Pleasure of My Company, The Long Title With The Dog in the Nighttime; etc.) However, I feel a bit worse about this one since it's a true story.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Anh Sướng

Funny, quick, chick-fluff read--must not be taken seriously at all. The main character was kind of annoying (and the plot extremely silly), but as a bit of a shopaholic myself, I enjoyed some of the situations and insights into the shopper's psyche.
