Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lois Lowry

I don't know if I didn't like this book as much because I was expecting to love it as much as her others, or because I just didn't like it.

She's done it again!!! Well, this is number 8, so I knew she would. Xhex is probably the baddest chic I know. Okay so this will probably rank 4th for me. first Zadist, then Vishous, then Butch, then John... Now I need her to tie up the loose ends with Blay and Qhuinn... I was on wiki (I know not reliable), but it said her next installment is due out March 28th and it's Payne's story... If it's true, can't wait... Another home run by J.R. Ward...

Tiền Và Tình Đời - Nghệ Thuật Buông Bỏ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

2013 I re-read this book and decided that it's not actually as amazing as when I first read it. It's a little too much of a memoir. Interesting ideas, but I think I'm having much more fun with Matthew Reason. I think while the information is relevant, they're old arguments. There are new thoughts to consider. 2007 It's been an interesting read. Barthes is very conversational in a poetic sort of way as we flip through his memoirs on photography. He tends to contradict himself, though. It's like Othello, a minute to understand the concepts, but a lifetime to truly define and master them. Oh Contradiction! Oh Barthes! It is quick, and there are pictures (naturally).

Vì Sao Tớ Yêu Bố (Tái Bản 2014) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

The Pact is a story about love gone extremely bad. I've read one other book by Jodi Picoult and that was My Sister's Keeper. In that book, I disliked the ending. It felt rushed and tacked on at the end because she didn't know how to end it. The ending of this book isn't the same but I saw the ending coming from a mile away. I can't say it is cliche because I have not read another book with the same plot, but I also can't say that I was astonished and moved by the ending. It was just ok, not bad, not great. I had expected to like this book more than I did because I'm a sucker for romantic tragedies. However, even though it did not live up to my expectations, I still enjoyed reading it. There were some typos that I'm sure should have been corrected by the editor, but the way the story itself is told is fantastic. Picoult has a way of hooking you enough so that you read through the book, no matter how much you might dislike an element in it.

7 Năm Bóng Tối Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jeong You Jeong

Perhaps it was the five-year-old narrator who spoke like a 25-year-old in one paragraph and a two-year-old in the next. Perhaps it was the fact that I never actually warmed to Jack (because of that ever-changing voice?) and never got to know the mother. Maybe it was because the second half felt so rushed, like the author was finished with the story she wanted to tell and then just hurried to end the book. Whatever it was, this book turned out to be one of my LEAST-liked books of all time. Yuck. The only reason I finished it was because it was so "thin," both in terms of pages AND in terms of plot.

Em Yêu Toán Học - Tập 6 (Song Ngữ Anh - Việt) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: S. Leong

This collection offers something for everyone. By which I mean no two are in the least similar, and a couple are so disparate that I would venture to say that if you like one, you would not at all enjoy the other. The second novel in the book, “The Amber Witch,” is the longest, as well as the least enjoyed by me. It is a fictional tale, but when first published claimed to be, as stated in the preface, a translation of a 15th century manuscript written by a pastor who endured much woe and trouble when marauders ravaged his village and his daughter is falsely accused of witchcraft. The “pastor’s” style of writing is antiquated, but readable. My objection is the frequent interjections of Latin words with absolutely no explanations of their meanings in English. Presumably the average person in the Victorian era was much more familiar with Latin than today’s reader, and also the scholarly reader of the 1970’s (when this book was published) might have had an easier time. Personally, I had to keep near a computer and look things up quite frequently. Another issue, more personal to me, possibly, than the average person, was the philosophy of the narrator. No matter how many horrible calamities befall him, he is able to work it into his religion, while ascribing to his god both the impetus for his woe as well as the means to endure it. It is quite obvious that the malevolence of the people surrounding him is the sole cause of his hardship, and also that religion is the means by which they convince the general populace to go along with their evil schemes, yet his reliance on his God infrequently wavers. There are also no ghosts in this story. I much preferred “The Ghost of Guir House.” It felt to me like the reward for slogging through the rest of the book. In this fascinating tale, Paul receives a letter that seems not meant for him but decides to follow its instruction anyway and meet the girl who sent it. She and the old man living with her seem to have a mysterious and esoteric secret, and Paul struggles to learn what it is. The information imparted to Paul in the course of discovering the mystery is somewhat hard to follow, but the story is compelling and suspenseful. Paul is a sort of bumbling person, but means well and so is easy to identify with. The characters of the girl and the old man, as well as, arguably, the third character of Guir House itself are so well developed and stunningly described that it more than makes up for the fact that Paul seems like the method by which to tell the story, rather than a character himself. To address the other three novels: “The Uninhabited House” suffers from a stilted plot, an entirely too lengthy exposition, and characters who made me very irritated. There is barely a ghost in the novel and the ending was telegraphed from the first paragraph. Heavy foreshadowing as well as (while possibly quite novel 150 years ago) a familiar storyline, made for a complete waste of my time. “Monsieur Maurice” was written in a much more compelling way than “The Uninhabited House,” and was therefore not a complete waste of time. However, it barely had anything to do with ghosts, and was not at all chilling or suspenseful. Interesting more for the picture it drew of the German countryside and the time of Napoleon, as well as the charming perspective of a little girl as the main character serve to recommend it more for a general collection of Victorian tales than a self-described collection of “Ghost Novels.” While there is undoubtedly a more of a ghost present in “The Phantom Lover,” the narrative did not turn dark or suspenseful until the last paragraph. Also, the convention of writing from the perspective of the protagonist speaking to an unknown person who has entered his art gallery was quite jarring at first. It’s like when someone on television addresses the camera to begin, and then the story is told in flashback. This style is not as cohesive in written form. Again the “mystery” of the story was readily apparent to the reader, and even explained by the narrator somewhere in the middle and not at all climactic in presentation. It was almost obvious what would then follow, but the character of Mrs. Alice Oke was quite appealing to both the reader and the narrator engaged to paint her. The story might have benefitted from more historical perspective, as Alice is quite obsessed with an ancestor of hers whom she resembles and who also was responsible for killing her lover. It is quite obvious throughout that this lover is now haunting the present Alice and that she quite likes it. It is never explained why the original Alice killed her lover, and no description is given of what this haunting entails. In fact, the ghost is not even seen by anyone other than Alice until towards the end of the story. I was disappointed. This one could have been so much better, and I kept hoping for it to be. Overall, I might not recommend this collection, except for the fact that it seems that “The Ghost of Guir House” is so difficult to find that this might be the only place one can do so. In fact, all of the stories in the collection are out of print everywhere else, so if any of them appeal to you, you may want to locate a copy of this book. Or, you can have mine.

Công Chúa Mặt Trăng - Tập 4.2: Winter (Bạch Tuyết) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Marissa Meyer

Really enjoyable. The first half of the book focuses on the appearances (and more importantly, the disappearances) of Leon Meed, who shows up randomly, and then disappears within moments. These events are of course disturbing to the residents of Eureka who witness them. Eureka is a small enough town that many of the witnesses' lives intersect each other to some extent. There's an air of mystery to the first half of the book. Ten years later, the witnesses learn that Leon Meed has died. This half of the book focuses on the interpretation each of the witnesses has made of their brief encounter with him, and how their lives have been impacted over the course of the years. Emmons' writing is pretty, and his character development is thoughtful.

She starts off really well, then halfway through the novel is kind of all over the place. Nonetheless, if you have a brother, it has its amusing moments.
