I was expecting a lot more. This was really, really BORING. The main character isn't particularly likable and I wasn't into the writing style. The topic has potential but the book doesn't live up to it.

Chuck Klosterman loves metal. Metal has been his obsession since he was very young. He allowed heavy metal to shape his adolescence since he was around - for the lack of a better term - the boring state of North Dakota. Rather than discussing stories about his youth - which he does very rarely, - Klosterman spends most of his time talking about how metal shaped his opinions on the world around him. It helped him determine the lifestyle that he wants to live and also define his teenage personality. He expresses this through pivotal moments in metal history, from it's birth, to it's boom, to it's identity crisis - that being the what some would call, awful glam/hair metal era - to it's eventual death. Chuck has an unconditional connection to metal, one of which can't be broken by anything; not even when girls started to get into heavy metal. It's something that is quite endearing to read, because he has such a connection to something so abstract and musical. He allows it to become a part of him and is therefore it completely. Even though he is now an adult, he still reflects upon it like an old friend or love. To be honest, I loved this novel. Though it isn't quite up to literature standards and feels like it is written as a continuous column on the Onion A.v., it still holds up. There is a lot of depth to this book, primarily in terms of interpretation. For example, Chuck begins to talk about an anecdote which still impacts him to this day. When he had dinner with his family and his father accidentally said the name of Chuck's favorite band, Motley Crew. Everyone laughed but him and his father. Chuck then begins to talk about something else. However, if you look close enough, he essentially talked about how not once in his youth, did his father ever have any interest in knowing what his son liked, or had ever entered his room. It is a delight to read this, quite quick too. It is very humerus and clever. Even if you know nothing of Metal there is still a lot to see, and trust me you will learn some because Chuck Klosterman loves metal and has written an entire book about it... oh and also about him.

I think this book would have genuinely upset me as a child. As a kid who found the Berenstein Bear book stranger danger disturbing, a book that suggests that it's always difficult to truly know whether someone is good or evil, or whether that even helps at times, would have put dark thoughts in my little head for weeks. The formula is all but in ruins this time around, and most of the book is a kafkaesque trip through a strange hotel structured around the Dewey Decimal system. And yes, I actually whipped out that word for a children's book, because the Snicket conventions have become genuinely surreal and upsetting. The various adults who tried to help them over the entire series make appearance, and are universally ineffectual. Even with all the noble people surrounding them, the Baudelaire's still find themselves meeting new tragedy. All the themes present throughout the series are deepening. The notion that life's not fair, that adults and authority and quite fallible, that what you want sometimes doesn't matter, that nobility is sometimes an unachievable goal, it's all brutally reemphasized. In a way it's the opposite of the Ayn Rand and the corporate motivation books I've been reading. Those all tried to sell a story as a how-to guide, which I've pointed out is deeply flawed on a logical level. The Penultimate Peril is the reverse, illustrating the difficulties and purpose to various moral standings without ever acting like it will be easy, or at times even practically possible. A story meant to teach has to acknowledge its own limitations in a world of opposing forces. The only thing keeping it from a higher rating at this point is the dialogue. Having a style with an odd affectation worked in the earlier books, but at times the simplistic sentiment coming out of secondary characters falls a bit flat. Not enough to spoil things, but it stuck out with the more articulate tone of everything else.

Funny book! Not sure I'd want a middle schooler to read it and get all those ideas, though. Plus, the only thing scarier than a middle school male is the fact that an adult male can write this book. . . almost like he is still a middle school male. LOL! As usual with Patterson books - a good story.

This was a quick read; however, it was a great read. I loved the love story between Ever and Damen. Sometimes, it seems to be like Bella and Edward from Twilight, though. The beginning and middle were alittle slow, but the end make ups for it.

This book was sooooo much better than the first book. It didn't move slow and was much more entertaining. I thought they could have expanded a little more on the ending, but would recommend this book even if you didn't read the first although the first gives a lot of detail to many of the characters in this book which are helpful in understanding the entire trilogy.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tường Hạnh

"Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." Winston Smith lives in 1984--he thinks. He's actually not sure what year it is, as the Ministry of Truth, the agency he works for as a minor member of the Party, keeps muddying up the records. The past is malleable, the nation is always at war, words are disappearing from the vernacular, everyone is monitored through telecasters, bad thoughts are a crime, and Big Brother is always watching... How have I not read this classic dystopian novel until now? I've poured through Brave New World, started but never finished We, watched THX-1138 and Brazil, and recently finished The Handmaid's Tale, but somehow 1984 has avoided being in my to-read library. Until I finally got my hands on an audiobook version. This book is eye-opening, a bleak picture of the future, a scary nightmarish world where nothing you do is ever private--and in this age of the internet, doesn't that seem even more likely than ever? Throughout the entire book, I couldn't help that feeling that someone was looking over my shoulder, that any moment someone was going to spot me. The characters aren't particularly brilliant, but they function for the exact purpose that Orwell created them: to explore and poke at this world. Winston Smith comes across as your typical 50's sci-fi hero: he is smarter than many of his peers, aware of his surroundings, and discontent. However, he is also incredibly paranoid and a somewhat weak-willed pathetic man (you see this ESPECIALLY at the ending). What I disliked most about him was how he related to Julia. He tended to treat her like she was a sex toy: a person he had sex with regularly but who had limited intelligence and had to be patiently told each detail that the hero can, of course, immediately understand. While this is not as prominent and annoying as, say, Ringworld, it was still present enough that it grated on my nerves. The only other prominent characters are Julia and O'Brien. Julia, as I mentioned above, tended to feel like only a sex bunny; however, she does in a way, incite Winston to embark on a journey that will change his life and is in control of her own world. For that reason, I do have more respect for her than many other females in books of this era. O'Brien is Winston's coworker and possible fellow dissenter. He's an incredibly complex character, mostly seen from Winston's (clouded and highly paranoid) perception. But what makes this novel isn't its characters, as I said above. It's the story, it's the world, it's the warning about what could happen if nothing happens. And this is what impressed me most. This world is startlingly real. The possibility of a diminishing language is scary...how many words am I currently using in this review would be banished by New Speak (kudos to Orwell for all his work on this language, btw)? How is that similar to the text speak that is occurring right now? What about the idea that your television could be recording you, sending your image to some guy, in some cubicle who is making sure you aren't doing anything wrong? That your neighbors could be spying on you, ready to report you at the drop of your hat? That wars are being faked (okay, so many people believe that is already happening...)? That the past can be changed with a pop into MS Word and Photoshop? How about the thought that your entire day is planned out for you, so that you have no alone time for your own thoughts? That writing in a book (or a review...) could be cause for arrest? If that sort of future doesn't scare you, you are much stronger than I am! I really have only two "criticisms" about this book. The first is the characters/way that women are treated. The characters are fairly bland/stereotypical of the time. Women, similarly, end up on the short end. They are often described as easily led by the Party's ideals and wholeheartedly embracing them. And most of the women we see are sex bunnies or naggy wives. The other criticism is the long sections delving into Goldstein's book. In my opinion, Orwell did a fine job describing this world, so that I really didn't need the Book to explain how this society worked further. The torture scene also somewhat dragged (though this is somewhat more understandable). If you consider yourself a fan of dystopian novels, this needs to be at the top of your reading list. It is a brilliant study of the future, eerie and intimidating.
