Vui Cùng Xếp Giấy Origami (Tập 3) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

For such an extraordinary memoir, and such an ultimately uplifting story, this book is infuriating. Jeannette Walls survived a childhood that was one long nightmare punctuated by fleeting moments of happiness; the infuriating part is that it didn't have to be that way. Her parents are neglectful, abusive, and breathtakingly selfish. Her father is a mean drunk, a manipulative and yet somehow charming man who can't be bothered to take care of his family because he's too busy chasing his pie-in-the-sky dreams and lying about stealing his children's piggy bank money to feed his demons. Her mom is a wanna-be artist who seems to think life is all about her. She has a college degree and could easily hold a job, but she wants to be free to paint, so she quits several teaching jobs in a row in order to indulge her free spirit. This is fine for an adult without responsibilities, but she has four children who are quite literally starving. When we discover that she is sitting on resources (jewelry, land, real estate) that could not only buy food and clothing for her children, but provide them with a decent home and education as well, but she refuses to part with any of these things because of their sentimental value, I want to punch her in the face. Yes, this book moved me to violence. Together, the parents make a dangerous pair. Neither is willing to give up anything for their children, leading to power struggles between the two of them and increasing poverty and dysfunction for the family as a whole. The armchair psychiatrist in me suspects personality disorders on both sides, complicated by high intelligence and creativity (and alcoholism in the dad's case). The narcissism is so thick it's almost tangible. Despite the extreme dysfunction of this family, the parents (mostly the dad) seem to love their kids. And the kids love their parents. But when they finally get out from under their parents' care (or lack of), they discover a world of opportunity that had been denied them for their entire childhoods. Thus the uplifting ending, where the children become normal, functioning members of society despite (or, it might be argued, because of) their rough upbringing. I found it eye-opening to see how abusers work, how they keep the abused under their control, how they manipulate relationships and emotions to their advantage. Even as I despised this father who practically pimped out his own daughter, I was charmed by his good moments. I felt sorry for him when he felt remorse, when his children left him feeling abandoned, when he tried to do something good and it didn't work out. How much more difficult must it be for those who love him? How hard to leave, when you have those moments to continually draw you back in? I didn't feel bad for the mom, probably because she never seemed to care what the kids did or feel remorse for her extreme neglect. The author said, in an interview, that this book was meant to be an homage to her parents. She is either unaware of how deprived her childhood was, never having known anything different, or she is very forgiving. Sensitive readers: there is offensive language scattered throughout the book, along with scenes that, while not graphic, are disturbing and will be more so for anyone who has experienced molestation, abuse or neglect.

At first I thought I was not going to enjoy this book as much as I had anticiapted if only because I have read so many of this time period and about the Tudor reign BUT I loved it. Alison Weir is an exceptional historical writer and this book is entertaining as well as informative.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cung Huân

So, I'm a huge Maya Banks fan. I liked this one, but I guess the setup was hard for me to handle. I generally don't love books that have a lie or huge secret between the main characters that is revealed at the climax of the book. This is a common construct in romance, especially romantic suspense, but I feel it sets the relationship on such bad footing that it ruins it for me a little. Gray in a Dallas cop who is on leave for a while after his partner is killed on the job. His partner's dad, an ex-cop, gets him involved with a security firm in Houston for a few weeks where he can snoop on the estranged daughter of the woman the supposed killer is on the run with. The hope is this man will have the mother contact the daughter for help/money and that he can be tracked from there. But, Grey ends up falling for Faith, a beautiful woman with submission fantasies. I'll be honest, because I've read Banks' recent work, I know how great she can make sex scenes and menages in particular. These were definitely enjoyable, but her new stuff is better. The relationship between Grey and Faith is more sweet than heavy BDSM, but there is some spanking and a menage in there for those that dig that sort of thing.

Quân Đoàn Hủy Diệt - Phần 2: Hoàng Tử Kim Khí Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cassandra Clare

One of the best books that I have read in the past several years. Based in fact, written in a novel-esque tone, and embellished with source-based details, the book contrasts the true wonder of the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago with the horror of America's "first serial killer." I found the book well-written and clever in its juxtaposition of history and entertainment. I would recommend it to anyone as something a little bit different that leaves you with a lot to think about. A few points that were particularly interesting for me: - The spirit of innovation: the late 19th century was a time when great value was put on building and besting. The entire country was seized with outdoing the previous Parisian Exposition and Chicago was seized with the civic honor that comes with fulfilling the dreams of a country. - A time of "titans": The innovators who worked toward the above-referenced smatter nearly every page of this work. - A love story to Chicago: Being from the midwest, this was a particularly gripping thread of the book. From the description of the smell rendered by the slaughter of pork that was Chicago's major industry at the time to the preparation of the fairgrounds to the corrupt political system to the inferiority complex inspired by New York, the "Second City" is the main character of this book. - Economic despair: Interestingly, as I read this in the middle of 2009, the descriptions of the stock market crashes, government intervention in the banks, labor unrest, and rampant unemployment hit home. In a way, it's comforting to know that people have survived it before and will survive it again this time. - From whence comes pure evil: The character and actions of Holmes, the charming, cold-blooded killer, never do answer the question of where this type of evil originates....maybe because we never really do have an answer.
