Thuật Hùng Biện - Tăng Khả Năng Nói Trước Đám Đông (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dale Carnegie

Although I like a good entertaining mystery, I usually shy away from books that seem to focus on the evil side of humanity without any depth or redeeming aspects. So I debated whether or not to read this book, since the writing wasn't anything special and it's a bit too much on the dark and heavy side for my tastes in mindless reading. The one thing that did draw me to this book is that it calls itself a digi-novel, "an experience" that includes "digital cyber-bridges" (short motion picture scenes that continue the story line) and an interactive community with behind-the-scenes videos, blog, etc. I was really interested in seeing a new form of storytelling that engages multiple types of media and thought it could even contribute something to my role as university educator. I was really annoyed when I tried the digital elements. The whole thing seems like a scam, because in order to get access to the digital aspects of the "experience", you have to give away access to your email address, not just for the duration of the visit, but on an ongoing basis. Wow. Talk about blatant! In a way, it's the same way TV functions, except that TV doesn't have the same access to my personal data. In order to get entertained, I have to sit through commercials... Oh wait, the author of this book is the creator of the CSI TV series... yes, it all makes sense now. So I'm quite disappointed in the expectations the book set up about being a new storytelling form and the actual marketing function that this new form serves. But then again, what was I thinking? I should have trusted my instincts - uninspired barely competent writing, no finesse in character development, and a story that is not clever or very suspenseful.

Dòng Sông Huyền Bí (Tập 8) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Portions of this book were assigned for my Brit Lit class. I read about half of the assigned portions. I was distracted at the time by various events in life and wasn't yet a very good student. My professor had done his PhD work on Milton and taught with a contagious passion. So much passion that I decided, after the discussion was over, to buy the whole book. During our five day Fall break in my sophomore year I sat on the front lawn of my college and read Paradise Lost. Nonstop, getting up for meals and other important breaks but otherwise spending that whole break reading Milton. Hardly anyone else remained on campus. The weather was cool and breezy and beautiful. I sat under a tree and read lengthy portions out loud, which helped me get into the rhythm. Once in the rhythm of reading I tasted heaven itself. This book was an awakening for me, a trigger that opened up my soul and allowed me to understand a small portion of eternity. It was an epiphany weekend for me, one which transformed my soul, and remains in many ways an anchor for my faith. During the dark times of my soul I remembered those days and knew, knew, knew there was something to still hope for. This is a hard read and one that likely requires a lot of space, quiet and time. It takes a while to get into his rhythm and finally dance with his words, but if you can, if you can get away from this world for a while and devote yourself to Milton's work you'll find a new reality opening up. The man saw heaven. The man knew God. His writing is genius and extraordinary, far beyond anything else I've ever read. This book, literally, changed my soul and my life.

"Because of Mr. Terupt" is not a book I would have chosen on my own; we are reading it for my "adults reading young adult books" reading group which includes writers, media specialists, book store owners, and the like. The novel is appropriate for late elementary and middle school readers. Because I generally read high school and cross-over fiction, some things weren't immediately obvious to me - like the fact that the unwed mother could be an issue for some. I didn't even think twice about it. So, when I finished the book, I needed to calibrate my thinking to the intended audience. "Because of Mr. Terupt" is told from he perspective of seven fifth graders who come together in the classroom of new teacher, Mr. Terupt. The seven characters are "types" - the class clown, the nerd, the fat girl, the pretty mean girl, the shy girl, etc. Because they are types, because author Rob Buyea uses some rather cheesy methods for distinguishing the characters (such as the overuse of "like" by the pretty mean girl), and because each chapter begins with the character's name in a different font, the characters are generally distinct. Here is where I had to ask myself if this was because of the writing or because of the intended audience. And despite their somewhat stereotypical nature, the characters are generally well-developed, complex (for a middle school read), and real. However, in the second half, I found myself thinking, "A kid would never say it like that" or "A kid would probably not have such clear, mature, wise thoughts and understanding." In the end, the tragedy that occurs ends up leading to the characters mending their issues and becoming a solid unit. The chapters are appropriately short, and the action moves swiftly for the most part. The story begins strongly (I thought this was going to be a story about bullying, but that is not what it ends up being). Once the tragedy occurs, the story stalls. I especially did not like the heavy-handed religious stuff and the use of platitudes and preachiness in the second half of the book. In addition to spelling out the prayers of one of the characters, he actually had the characters hold hands and pray, as suggested by both the adult and the kid characters in the book. I don't think this would actually happen. I thought the book crossed the line in this regard. What I loved about this book, in a day when taking pot shots at teachers for all that ails the world, it was great to see a book about the impact that a great teacher can have. However, the fact that the teacher did things in an unconventional manner was the subject of a discussion between Jessica and her mother. The mother actually blames the teacher for what happens!!! I almost put the book down at that point. Parents like that are one of the reasons that a lot of great teachers drop out of teaching and the reason that fewer and fewer young people choose the profession. So I have mixed feelings about this book. I read it very quickly, so I must have been engaged. I shed a few tears, so it must have moved me. But I think I would only recommend it to a very small audience - those looking for Christian fiction, those not afraid of an unwed mother storyline, those not expecting too much in terms of writing, and those who prefer didactic young adult literature. How's that for a mixed bag of opinions?

This is a waaaay, waaaayyyy adult title with some pretty graphic sex scenes in it. If those don't bother you, you'll find some pretty fun detective/adventure stories here. Enjoyed it, but didn't love it.

Hard to rate this one - it was poorly written but still a page turner. I enjoyed it but am not sure I'd actually recommend it to anyone.

I do kinda love Biblical fiction. Talks about the many wives of the great patriarchs of the Hebrew Bible, most specifically those of Jacob and, especially, Rachel and Leah. Another great look into the culture of the time and provides interesting (if, perhaps, unfounded) characterizations of big players (see: Rachel, Leah, etc.) of the Hebrew Bible.
