Cửa Sổ Trên Tháp Đôi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Frédéric Beigbeder

I didn't go into this book looking for a war story and I'm not a fan in particular of that kind of reporting. But this book was one of the most entralling page-turners I've ever read (and reams better than the movie—don't even bother with the movie). The level of detail is down to the minute and from every possible perspective. If you ever wanted to know exactly what a botched military operation is like to live firsthand, read this book. I was completely sucked in from page one.

Đồng Dao Vui Chơi 1: Chú Cuội Ngồi Gốc Cây Đa Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Alpha Kids

In a blog-post written years ago the "Penny Arcade" cartoonist "Gabe" posted a page or two from an old super-hero comic book he had written and drawn when he was a teen. The art was rough and predictably aped the prevailing artistic style of the time, but what shamed him most, he confessed, was the decidedly adolescent feel of it. It was exactly the sort of thing you'd expect a young male to write/draw, when he is first becoming aware of a world in which violence and sex are realities and somehow believes himself to be making a profound and revelatory statement by simplistically caricaturing those realities. He was trying so hard to make it bloody, bleak, brutal and grim that it was embarrassing, laughable, upon reflection. Some of us, however, fail to reflect and so fail to ever move past our childish fixation on certain aspects of existence, coming to believe that they are the only elements worth dwelling on. The author may potentially have some technical chops, but this relentlessly miserable story, with all its incredibly obvious plot points and utterly unsurprising twists, felt hollow and facile to me. There seem to be two types of modern authors: those who think everything has to be dark, dark, dark, dark (or transgressive, transgressive, transgressive, transgressive, in some cases) to be of any worth, and those who are true authors. Based solely on this book i would conclude that McCarthy is one of the former, a man who mistakenly believes that true meaning and literary power come only from miserable stories about miserable people behaving miserably (see my review of Lev Grossman's "The Magicians"). As noted above, this is not uncommon. Consider the adolescent fondness for "gritty" anti-heroes. Consider the movie and game studios who think "grey" and "brown" are the only way to indicate "real" or "serious". Consider the way critics fellate authors who mistake misery for depth and despair for insight. Then consider how similar these instincts are to those which impell so many to watch "Jersey Shore" and "Bad Girls Club" and "Cops" and "Jerry Springer". People tell themselves that what they want is "reality", an examination of profound truths which undergird the nature of humankind, but what they really want is the skadeglädje born of watching others suffer and debase themselves. I feel fairly sure that he, as an author, can do better; I know for a fact that I, as a reader, can.

Bí Mật Người Do Thái Dạy Con Làm Giàu Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mordecai Nadav

The novelty of the characters and the setting had worn off by this book (second in the series), and what was left was a pretty ordinary mystery. The business nature of the mystery even made it a little boring, and I'm not sure if that would hold the interest of the younger intended audience. They mystery is a little too easy for the characters to solve. Big clues fall out of people's pocket, people talk way too much were others can easily over hear them, and everyone seems clueless to Mary's identity - they believe her crazy cover stories. It did feel a little like a Nancy Drew mystery so maybe that's what it was going towards. James, Mary's sort of love interest, keeps showing up and in unusual ways, but nothing seems to come from their relationship. Overall, I though the story was okay, just not unique or overly exciting. I didn't have to finish the story, and I didn't really care that much about the outcome of the mystery.

A white man during the height of the Civil Rights era decides to live the life of a black man to see what it is like. He was able to darken his skin by tanning and using makeup. I read this in the 6th grade and it made an indelible impression on me. Great read!

** spoiler alert ** My favourite in the entire of the series. I loove Jacob in this book, but I must say that I don't think Bella should have forgiven Edward so easily. Still, they ARE destined to be together...

Phát Triển Chỉ Số Sáng Tạo CQ (4 - 5 Tuổi) - Tái Bản 2015 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bang Son

So my book club picked this book...second dud in a row. not that it's horrible exactly, but really? It was pretty boring. I did chuckle a couple of times...exactly a couple of times. That would be two times. All I have is a stupid stray cat that we took in who refuses to use the litter box and is now kicked back out but sits on my window sill all day wondering why he can't come back in. Maybe if I had more pets I would have connected like the authors of the 'rave reviews' did? Who knows. I guess animal anidotes are not for me.

Oh stream of conscious writing. Interesting to a very slim point, but overdone and needlessly opaque.
