Barbie - Những Cô Gái Năng Động Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: The Five Mile Press

I found the first chapter a bit dense, but the book was fascinating. Dr. Coss successfully deconstructs the British ranker-as-scum myth and does so convincingly. The amount of evidence he presents is impressive. Contrary to a previous review, I thought that the chapters on combat and soldier motivation were the heart of the book, as what made the British soldier important was his ability on the battlefield. Coss presents a measured argument and does address the role of alcohol on the men's actions, particulary after successful siege attacks. All in all, I enjoyed Coss analysis. The book makes me want to delve, again, into the Sharpe series.

The only thing I did not like about this book was the limited use of vocabulary. Otherwise it is a beautiful and touching story.

Tự Tin Khởi Nghiệp - Tái bản 12/09/2009 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: T. Jason Smith

Anne Frank was a very good book. There were some boring parts to it, however. In the course of the book, Anne Frank repeated herself many times, and didn't talk about the war that much, but all in all, you should read this book to see how even Jews in hiding during the Holocaust suffered, and how we have such easy lives compared to them.

Một Nghệ Thuật Sống Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Duy Cần

Just when I thought I’d caught up with everything DMZ, the comic book gods surprise me. While standing in front of and perusing the shelves of my local comic book haunt, there -- lo and behold! -- was volume six (a single, lonely copy at that) waiting. Oh, lucky me! This latest trade paperback collects the recent Blood in the Game storyline that weaves together several new plot threads. First there is the imminent election of the first leader of the DMZ (shades of the recent Iraqi elections post-US invasion) and the rise Parco Delgado, the self-styled populist leader who takes on the establishment that wants a US-friendly puppet put into place. Then along comes the arrival of main character Matty Roth’s mother, a political consultant based in Europe since the outbreak of the Second Civil War. Mix in plenty of violence, mayhem, and political posturing, and this story-arc marks yet another milestone in Vertigo’s greatest near future dystopian fantasy to date. Like a fine wine, this series just gets better and better with age.

Combo Mật Ngữ 12 Chòm Sao (Bộ 2 Tập) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: MN12CS

I just reread this book. It was always my least favorite of the Anne series and I could not figure out why. This time I did. There were some very interesting attitudes that I really did not like. There was a comment about a man spanking his wife and she in turn poisoning him. The person telling the story said something to the effect that spanking was not okay. Knocking her down occationally was normal. I was shocked. I know that this is an old book and the person telling the story was even older but seriously! There are just a few other things that I don't like. This book does not forward the Anne story much. It is just kind of a waiting game until she get married.

Phương Pháp Ohsawa Hỏi Và Đáp Tập 2 (Tái Bản) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Just finished this yesterday. It is the first in the series of three books so far, but is the second one I read. Since I already read Winter Rose, I'm afraid I knew some of the outcomes. However, that made no difference; I enjoyed finding out how it all came about. The character of Fee and her incredible rise in the tea world in such a short time, just as Joe rises in the fruit/vegetable world is probably not realistic time-line wise, but the rise of their fortunes is not so surprising. I loved how the story was interwoven with the Jack the Ripper story, and made the most of this historic mystery. I also loved the two settings of Whitechapel and New York City -- I think the setting is really what drove the characters and the plot, and would not have worked well set elsewhere. You really get a sense of the poverty and of the wealth and great class divide. The book is fast paced for a 500 page book, and it was hard to put it down, but I did anyway. I felt overall it was a very satisfactory read, and a heart-breaking/warming love story. What a series of mishaps keep these two apart!!!! If you like historical fiction, and like a good romance with a bit of mystery, this is a remarkable book. Just give yourself the time to read it, like a weekend or vacation (like I did).

Kỷ Luật Tích Cực Với Tình Yêu Và Giới Hạn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Barbara C. Unell

I didn't love this as much as I expected to, honestly. Maybe that's just because everyone I know is a huge Gaiman fan, so I had overly-heightened expectations for it. Still, the last 100 pages were better than the first 130, and I loved the way it ended.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

Story of a semi-dysfunctional family as it changes through the 60s--90s or so. Beautiful writing, but the changes of viewpoint in each chapter make it hard to empathize with any given character.

Biệt Đội Blockbusters - Bí Ẩn Bức Tranh Của Picasso Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Manon Berns

From the Rosetta Stone to the fall of the Roman Empire, from the rise of English power under Elizabeth the Great to the recent collapse of the Japanese economy, this book explores how taxes have affected them all. We all know the significance of the Rosetta Stone; how it allowed scholars to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics because of the Greek right next to it. But what they don't tell you is what is so important as to be written in three languages- of the oppression of taxation under the Ptolemy's. And it also shows how Cortez defeated Montezuma was through inciting a tax revolt among the peasants. England rose to power under Elizabeth the Great because of her low tax policies; while Spain's star was falling because of the onerous tax and religious policies of her brother in law, King Philip. The final chapters speak of modern day tyranny through the progressive income tax, and how we can draw from the lessons of history to forge a truly just system of taxation. Oliver Wendell Holmes famously said "Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society," but it's how we tax and spend that determines if we shall be rich or poor, free or enslaved, and whether that civilization will survive and thrive. If you are a history buff, you owe it to yourself to read this alternative viewpoint. And then you have the responsibility to tell your friends about it; it is that good.

Cuộc Phiêu Lưu Thần Kỳ Của Poppy Mũi Đỏ - Tập 1: Lời Nguyền Của Rồng Bóng Đêm Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lee Miu

Jodi Picoult poses extreme moral choices in this novel - much like the other Picouldt novels I have read. This one is my favorite of hers so far...I thought the characters were genuine and beleivable.
