Suối Nguồn Tâm Linh (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ajahn Chah

Certainly the least of the Books of Blood, the stories in In The Flesh seem underdeveloped, the characters just flat images to impose the reader's fears upon, serving their purpose and living or dying in the story, but never ever walking off the page. Barker is, without doubt, one of the most skilled horror writers of the late 20th century, but unfortunately here his work never spills into the memorable, literary terrain that Stephen King, at only his absolute best, can venture into. Not that these stories aren't entertaining, they are eminently so. His prose is stripped and fast-paced and, at times, smart. But he's also a tight ass, holding back so much that his free flowing horrors are less than maximized. In the title story, Barker's bare bones, punchy prose is perfect for a prison tale, a meditation on guilt and murder and the ghosts of our pasts, and with most of Barker's other pieces, the main characters, here Cleve Smith, is a bit of a blank stand-in for the reader, morally lazy and ambiguous and resistant to fear, but finally succumbing. There's a real lack of development with Billy and his grandfather, but there's where the story could have excelled, becoming rich and memorably because of the intricate history that comes alive in the few weeks of the action of the story, but Barker summarizes Billy's past so much to make it weak and unbelievable. http://www.goodreads.com/review/edit/... In "The Forbidden" the awesome 80s urban decay of the "Candyman" movie is there, but far less menacing in this UK setting than in Chicago, the Cabrini Green of the film. The real beauty of the film, the history of the Candyman, does not exist in the story, where he's much more of a generic bogeyman. However, unlike the film this story is a great critique of the skeptical and haughty university culture. Personally, I'd like the sweaty horrifying history of the Candyman to be fleshed out here, but it seems like the film just treats its subject more deeply. In "The Madonna" the Pools are an excellent setting, an abandoned culture of communal bathing, that is dripping and moldy and terrifying, and that must be demolished to make way for some commercial newness, much like the mill setting in King's "Night Shift". A very anti-feminine tale, where the pitiful male characters are doomed to mutate into - God forbid - females, which is all, not surprisingly, from a male-centric perspective, where manhood is a privilege above all else. Furthermore, Barker doesn't handle male-female relationships well in this story. Carole is thin and cold and there's nothing real between them, despite a seeming tempestuousness. "Babel's Children" the least successful of his stories in this collection, because he does not stay grounded in reality (sure every other story is crazy and fantastic, but they're still all grounded in some everyday reality) is a horror of responsibility, like Bradbury's "The Scythe" in that the scary thing is that so many lives might hang on such random, meaningless acts, the horror of purposelessness. Again, his characters are just blanks to paint our fears upon, which sets him in my opinion, far far behind Stephen King, whose characters breathe and live.

I'm not going to bother reviewing this book. I did love it, though, and am willing to admit it loudly and in public (but only in a darkened room using a voice box).

Xu Xu Đừng Khóc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hồng Sakura

All in all a rather bland entry to the series. most of the vital characters were really not all that interesting. I honestly found myself only slogging through 10-15 pages a night because I was distracted or bored. Until toward the end and the beginnings of the jihad against the machines. Then the action picked up and found myself reading faster, though still was bored with the characters. Not sure why the authors insisted on adding the parts with Arrakis. I suppose they felt obligated with the title of the book being in the Dune series. Honestly it seemed as more of an after thought. Not to mention they left it completely unresolved. So I want to at least give it 3 stars but, thinking I can only muster 2.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: The Candy

The book is short, powerful and memorable. Most of all, it is still relevant, perhaps more now than ever. It touches on a lot of similar points as Orwell's 1984, although in a very different way.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phong Sinh

Wir befinden uns in einer beklemmenden Zukunft, in der zum Wohle der Allgemeinheit, Menschen gezüchtet werden, um später deren Organe für Transplantationen zu entnehmen. Diese Spender wachsen in Internaten auf, ohne zu wissen, was ihr Schicksal für sie bereit hält. Das Schicksal und das kurze Leben mehrerer dieser Spender wird beschrieben, während der Leser mehr und mehr über das System der Organspenden erfährt. Teils beklemmend, teils melancholisch, oft mit einer fast poetischen Schönheit werden Momente im Leben der 3 Protagonisten beschrieben, die sich nicht gegen ihr Schicksal auflehnen, sondern versuchen, das Beste daraus zu machen. Es geht um Freundschaft, Liebe, Vertrauen und vor allem um die Frage, wie weit die Medizin gehen darf. Vor allem hat mir die Balance zwischen Melancholie und Lebensfreude gefallen. Was mich allerdings ein wenig störte, war die Passivität, mit der die Spender ihr Schicksal abzeptieren. Das Buch hat mir insgesamt gut gefallen, es ist wunderbar geschrieben und einige Bilder sind auch jetzt noch (ich habe es vor etwa 7 Monaten gelesen) sehr lebendig.

I adore Atwood and I loved Oryx and Crake. I initially didn't think the story of God's Gardeners would be as enthralling as the story of the scientists in O&C, but you stitch the two together and get a vibrant world that these characters inhabit. Add to that the dry humor and satire. Couldn't put it down.

Ehon - Thực Phẩm Tâm Hồn Cho Bé: Người Đẹp Và Quái Vật (Song Ngữ) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jeanne-Marie Leprince De Beaumont

This is a captivating fantasy adventure with an explosive start and a decent finish. While the author skips to and fro in his enormous fantasy world, glossing over seemingly interesting potential adventures from time to time, the ones he includes are generally impressive. This is a world where the last of the Dwarven kingdom is falling, and where the effete, magical elves of the standard fantasy character pantheon, have taken over. Characters are fairly well developed, although I've yet to really really develop a concern for the main character (which may be in part due to his anti-hero nature). This is well worth a read, and I am excited to read the next book in a series for the first time in a long time. I'd actually give this a 3.5.
