Founder takes us into a world where a colony of people is hidden deep in the Amazon. They are divided into two sects. The Untouchable and the Pure. They live with the beliefs that carrying a genetic code equaling blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin makes you worth more. Those born without the desired traits are cast off and labeled Untouchable. Isolated from the outside world with the exception of care packages from their “Patron”. They believe they are being trained for a war to help protect the Aryan race. Founder’s POV alternates between an Untouchable named Marta and an American woman named Lara. Lara has discovered her family has a link to this mysterious community in Brazil after her estranged aunt passes away. She decides to attempt to visit the area with the help of her mom and husband. This is a story full of an equal measure of both hope and tragedy. I enjoyed Marta and Lara’s takes on life both inside and outside the colony. You must read about how the author came up with the idea for this book. It makes the entire premise all the more disturbing. The plot of Founder is fast paced and packed with twists and turns. Just when you think the characters have toppled all obstacles another presents itself. The cast of secondary characters is also a great addition to the novel. I enjoyed the amount of development that went into everyone we meet in the book. The ending was executed wonderfully and sets us up for the next book in this series. I feel Founder can easily appeal to both teen and adult readers. It does contain violence and some scenes that are disturbing. The story is a true fight for survival at times. I’m so impressed by this fascinating tale L. M Long has created. I look forward to seeing where she takes us next.

I was entranced by this true story: in the last few years, a Venetian found a wodge of damp old letters and retraced them to a couple who were supposed to never be in love due to class separations. The eerie and sinister and beautiful city of Venice is the setting for this magical story of forbidden love. A great listen-to-it book.

I can't finish this. It's so circular and so slow and so pointless... There are some brilliant lines and some interesting observations about human nature, but that's not enough for me to force myself to read this book.

Những Kẻ Vô Diện (Phần 3 Series Skulduggery Vui Vẻ) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Derek Landy

Just finished this book a few hours ago (already have started the second ahah) The first book is as great as I've been told and has lived up to my expectations :) But I think that too many of the characters are crossing the border of over-sarcastic. If it was just one or two characters that were as sarcastic as they are now then it would be great but I just get the feeling of sarcasm overload (and I'm pretty sarcastic so that's saying something haha). I want more to happen with Jace and Clary but then there's the notion that they're brother and sister, but still trying to hide their feelings from each other :/ As I'm at the start of the second book I am kinda hoping that Jace is either Luke or Michael Wayland's child, from the occurrence that Jocelyn had an affair and Valentine didn't know about it and suspected that Jace was just his child and Jocelyn just saying that it's Valentines because he might kill her/the father if he found out.....Yes this is what I hope (I admit I love a good romance in YA books)!!! I don't know why but I don't want Simon to get with Clary, even though I love Simon but still it doesn't really seem right..... I thought that Valentine should've been more evil than what he already was. He seemed to me like the kind of person who was frequently dropped as a child and just wants people to love him, as from what we can tell at the end of the book. I also thought at the end of the book that the "truth" would come out (about Clary and Jace) not by means of what kind of felt like a sit-at-the-table-and-talk-about-the-bodily-changes-you're-going-to-go-through truth kind of feel. I hoped that this scene would've gone something like how after Valentine says "What is this?" after seeing Jace and Clary, she says something along the lines of "Hello father, I'm surprised you didn't recognise me." which would have not made the scene feel so deep inside kind hearted truth bearing. Jace and Clary's head would be whirling trying to get a grasp on the situation and then there would've been more understanding between them all in the evil sort of way that Valentine is supposed to be. Ok well you can probably imagine the scene after the "hello father" bit I just created. ANYHOW, This book is brilliant and can't wait to read the rest of the series and I hope that they are as good as this one and not a let down like some other sequels are.

Combo Truyện Ngắn Của Mộc Diệp Tử (Bộ 2 Cuốn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mộc Diệp Tử

Brrrrrr! I'm not sure if it would be better to read this in the winter when it could chill you to the bone or during the summer as an antidote to the heat. This murder/mystery set in the north of Canada surprised me with it's eloquent descriptions of landscape and the deep exploration of the characters. I loved this book and will search out more by this author. PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: In an astonishingly assured debut, Stef Penney deftly weaves adventure, suspense, revelation, and humor into an exhilarating thriller; a panoramic historical romance; a gripping murder mystery; and, ultimately, with the sheer scope and quality of her storytelling, an epic for the ages.

i really appreciated the dialogue in this book. i already knew that slave traders were greedy, tormented souls, but i've never met one. reading this book i felt like i was living in that period with these "business men". reading the dialogue made slavery more real and alive. it gave me insight to the apathetic thought process of many of the British people, particularly merchants, and i found myself talking to the characters on several ocassions.

I did not like this book that much, I don't see what all the hype is about. It was just an okay story, I'd say 2.5 stars.
