Hành Trình Đến Thành Công Của Tuổi Trẻ (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Roger Leslie

WHEW! This was a HOT one!!!! Did everyone read The Perfect Play? No? Run out and get it! You'll want to meet the Riley clan before you get to this one! While Gavin and Liz will make complete sense....the underlying tension between Liz and certain members of the Riley family will not. Liz Darnell is still, months later, paying for the colossal mistake she made with Mick Riley. So gun shy about losing her most important client, Mick's brother Gavin, she's shied away from him. Not that he's noticed. She's been in love with the man for five years and he's never noticed, so why should this time be any different. Gavin knew that Liz was still reeling from the loss of his brother as a client, but he couldn't figure out why she was avoiding him. He decides he's had enough and decides to confront her. Under the guise of "needing to talk", Gavin drags Liz back to his place in Florida after a banquet. What was meant to clear the air turned into something much different. One spark of a challenge from Liz and Gavin was all over her and she him. He wasn't sure where any of this was coming from, but he wasn't going to argue with hot sex. And so with the understanding that they were just "seeing where this goes" during Spring Training, Gavin and Liz embark on a relationship, but neither of them expected anything to come from the sex they were having. Liz continued to keep her true feelings to herself and Gavin continued on his oblivious way. But somewhere along the way, Liz started to matter to Gavin and she felt herself losing more and more of her heart to him. Of course, the Riley clan figures heavily in the story. Mick is pissed that Gavin and Liz are in a relationship and takes every chance he can get in telling Gavin he's making a huge mistake. While Gavin gets pissed and ignores Mick, he never defends Liz...even when the remarks are made directly to her while he stood there watching. Neither Liz nor Gavin stepped up in their relationship. They either think the worse of each other or refuse to listen when someone is trying to be honest with them. Both of them realized, almost too late, that they both needed to communicate and listen. While I'm not a baseball fan (I love, love, love football and hockey), I could learn to appreciate the sport if there was someone like Gavin lurking in the wings. Of course, he'd have to play baseball in worn out jeans and no shirt, but I'd be right there cheering him along! Can't wait for Taking a Shot (Jenna and Ty's book. He's a hockey player ;-) ). 4.5 Cocktails

I hadn't heard of a lot of the cases in the book, so I liked being introduced to those, and I also liked the recap of ones I was familiar with, like the Lindy Chamberlain story (dingoes ate her baby) and O.J. of course.

Fuku Tinh Quái - Tập 7 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Konami Kanata

This biography is now over forty years old, but Haslip's writing, and the common sense approach which she takes towards her subject means that it is still as readable now as it was when it was first printed. Haslip is extremely good at taking an insightful and sympathetic, yet objective and critical, approach towards her subject, Elizabeth of Austria, the woman better known to history as Princess Sisi. Elizabeth was a complicated mixture of charm and frigidity, intelligence and neurosis, self-conscious beauty and shyness, and I think Haslip does a very good job at capturing those. I would agree with her assessment of Elizabeth's character to a large degree. The book has its faults, though they are minor. I would have liked a greater deal of analysis of her legacy and of the immediate impact of her death; to end the book with her murder makes it seem curiously truncated, especially considering how great a mythos had grown up around Elizabeth even by the time Haslip was writing. It is also curious that she didn't use make more use of those who could remember Elizabeth and her family, and who were still alive at the time of her writing; I think the last of Elizabeth's children had died maybe only twenty to thirty years before; still, it's probable in that case that they had simply closed ranks. The book could also have used a stronger technical editor; there was one instance where Elizabeth returned to Austria 'for Xmas', which I cannot see as being appropriate for a biographical work, and the number of comma splices was truly astronomical. Despite that, though, this is still probably one of the best books dealing with the life of the empress.

David McCullough shares a wonderful series of events directly before and during the year 1776 in our country's history. This is a great book to learn about some of the key players in the early development of our country and its independence, and very inspiring to learn about the trials that these brave soulds overcame to lead to triumph in these early battles and events.

This is one of my favorite romance novels, ever. I am not even afraid to review it here on this pretentious book site, I love it so much. I have worn through my copy of it. It is lovely beat up and bent back to the pages of all my favorite parts. The Heyer hallmarks are all here: great characters, hilarious plot, breaking the genre rules, a somewhat effete hero (but in a manly way). The main character, Leonie, is absolutely adorable. I don't even care if others find her annoying, she makes me laugh. I've been reading this book since I was 13 and I still feel that way. This book actually has some great layers. There's real darkness and fear and complexity in the characters. It isn't just the farce that it could be. Far from it. There's real mystery and a deep sympathy to the hero, Justin. Easily the first book hero I ever fell in love with. He's quite gothic, but with that Regency sprinkling of humor that I love. (Think Mr. Rochester... but polished. And hilarious.) Whatever, shut up. I love Georgette Heyer. This was one of the books that really helped along my love for 18th/19th century Brit lit.

I'm still having a hard time figuring out what I think about this book. I don't believe that it is well written, but I also don't believe that it is a bad book. Let's start with the first one. I've had a brief note up here for a while about this book that pretty much defines why I don't think it's well written. Take a look at this quote: "There have always been those tasked with the rotation of informational topologies, but throughout most of history they had little to do with increasing its clarity." Italics his. Oh, the irony of the italics. His problem is that he really relies on jargon an awful lot to make his descriptions, and for people who don't use that same terminology, it can be like slogging through mud to understand what he's saying. In the first third of the book, I thought this was going to be the worst of the nominees, just because I couldn't understand half of what he was saying. In the rest of the book, once he's done with setup and back story, it gets better. But it never fully goes away, and the fact that the setup and back story are so unreadable - and yet so important - is a pretty huge problem. Now on to my second point. I believe this is actually a good book. The characters are distinct and interesting, the world he created is believable, even if the "vampire" concept is a little out there. But most importantly, he did science fiction with aliens and he did it right. This is something that he even cites in the acknowledgments, but when you're doing aliens, you need to make them unrecognizable. This is a huge challenge, but you have to conceive of a species that evolved in a completely different environment, coming up a completely different path and becoming something completely unlike humanity. Or anything else on Earth for that matter. Talking cats don't count. His aliens are the most plausibly non-human I have ever seen. I'm giving this book it's score largely based on that. I want to give it four stars just because of that, but the poor writing and the fact that it feels a little unfinished at the end make it hard to do that. It has a great second act, one that doesn't quite live up to its potential for me, but a worthy hugo nominee all the same. Even though I'm giving this book a lower score than the others, this may be the winner in my opinion. The aliens may not make it rise above other books in terms of the writing, but in a science fiction contest, I believe they do. NOTE: After reading Glasshouse, my personal award goes to that novel and not this one. Stross managed to do everything right in that one.
