A really great book! I never gave the sequels a try because I heard they weren't nearly as good, didn't want to ruin the experience.

Phong Cách PR Chuyên Nghiệp (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Châu

While reading this book, I kept thinking, why don’t I already know this? I think that’s a good sign that it was worth reading. By way of instinct, previous experience, and a little liberal peer pressure, I already knew that a whole foods, plant-based diet was better for me. I guess I just didn’t realize the ramifications of the alternative for myself and others raised on a western diet. Dr. Campbell makes a strong case not for moderation, but getting off meat and dairy almost completely. Doing so would significantly reduce cancer, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, obesity, and almost every other major health ailment under the sun. This book also brought home for me how adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet is the epitome of meeting the triple bottom line of sustainability; that is, economic, social, and environmental well-being. Along with solving many of our nation’s health problems, keeping meat and dairy out of our stores and stomachs would go a long way to cutting health care costs and protecting our forests and freshwater. In the final part of the book, Campbell also waxes on how industry, science, and government are largely responsible for preventing this win-win-win solution. I almost gave this 4 stars because of a lot of repetition throughout, but in this case the message is probably worth repeating itself. Couple quotes… “Some groups use controversy to stifle certain ideas, impede constructive research, confuse the public and turn public policy into babble rather than substance. Sustaining controversy as a means of discrediting findings that cause economic or social discomfort is one of the greatest sins in science.” (p. 192) “… a whole foods, plant-based diet… is most consistent with the biologically-based evidence, supported by the most impressive array of professional literature, far more harmonious with a sustainable environment, possessed of the power to heal advanced disease, and has the potential, without parallel, for supporting a new, low-cost health care system.” (p. 288)

It was good, but a little longer than it needed to be. I think the plot could have been streamlined.

Giữa Dòng Xoáy Cuộc Đời Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phan Thế Hải

First Reads review: Well, first things first... Due to several sexual scenes, violence, and rough language, I would not recommend this book to anyone under 17. That said, I am torn as to how to review this book. It seems almost like two novels, intersecting to further the plotline but distinct and unequal. On one side we have the outspokenly green, eco-minded story revolving around Jan, the first lady; on the other, an intricate and politically treacherous story revolving around Everett, the President. In a total upset from my usual tastes, I much preferred the political novel to the ecological one. For whatever reason, Jan and those immediately around her did not ring true to me. Some of the action scenes felt contrived and stretched credulity but the characters seemed to distract more from the story. For example, just before Jan collects her party to try and save the whales, her best friend Raquel's boyfriend (almost fiance) dies. It receives roughly three paragraphs and Raquel cries once. Two pages later there is a sniff, a cracked voice, and then nothing for the rest of the book. Even though there is a lot of action and turmoil packed into a relatively short timeframe, I would expect more reaction than that or at least a further reference or two (the opportunities abounded). The boyfriend was critical to the plotline but seems forgotten as soon as the plot turned that corner, a means to an end and nothing more. Several of the characters are equally one-dimensional. It is perhaps a symptom of a big story and the embedded drama, which rarely bogs down for more than a page or two and continues to almost the very last. There were a few mild twists and turns but they led to a fairly satisfying, if wholly predictable, ending. Two smaller contentions I had with the book: sound effects and punctuation. Don't get me wrong, sound effects can add a great deal of dimension and tension to a story ("Nothing sounded more dreadful than the soft clack of the space bar." p. 320) but in the story they were sometimes overused to the point of distraction. And as for punctuation... Exclamation points derive their import from rare usage! Normally they truly heighten a scene or statement! Or lend realism when someone is shouting! But seeing them misused in sentence after sentence is really annoying! Now, if you've read this far, you may think I didn't enjoy this book at all. But actually I did, especially the intricate political passages. I might not recommend it for a serious read but it would serve just fine for lighter fare.

The two stories in this book reminded me too much of Emily Giffin's "Something Borrowed" which I was not overly excited about. The four characters (brother, sister, sister's best friend, best friend's crush) really annoyed me. For individuals who were supposed to be intelligent, responsible, educated, etc., as well as not being adults(ages ranged between 29 and 31/32), they really acted childish and immature. I really wanted to like the book more, but the characters' personalities kind of ruined it for me.

Tolkien's last book. Just published by his son. So far, it's a fascinating read, although a bit hard to follow, as expected when reading Tolkien. There is major emphasis placed on geneology, and that bogs you down a bit. I will update when I am finished reading it.
