Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Rosie Dickins

Life in the early 60’s in Mississippi, for those of affluence and prestige, was one of country clubs and parties, benefits and shopping, dinners and socializing. But for some segments of society, namely black maids, it was a life of servitude and poverty, of fear and humiliation, of barely surviving and having no hope. But circumstances were about to change, because of the inspiration of a newly graduated journalist, and the bravery of a handful of maids who wanted to tell their stories. This novel will grab your heart and twist it, as you realize how these women suffered just to survive. Kathryn Stockett’s descriptive prose and intricate plot as well as memorable characters make this novel a great read, and one you won’t ever forget.

I can’t believe this is the first Merry Gentry book that I’ve reviewed on my website. And that makes me sad as this series has been great, up until this book. When I read in the book’s acknowledgments that Hamilton had an O-dark-thirty moment while writing this novel I got concerned. I’d still highly recommend this series to anyone, just be sure to start with the first book in the series so that you’ll fall in love with all the main characters and you’ll forgive this book’s few shortcomings. This is book is filled with plenty of Hamilton’s sharp wit, racy sex and steadfast loyalty. For example, Merry contemplates that having morning sickness in front of the murderers would certainly cause a distraction, but it wouldn’t actually be professional. While Hamilton is famous for her sexually explicit bedroom scenes, this book lacked the passion that she usually inspires. I started to feel like whenever Hamilton didn’t know what to do with the current mystery she threw Merry into bed. While these scenes certainly inspire lust, they lack an emotional connection which turns lust into passion. The trouble was that Merry’s lovers in this book aren’t the men she loves. They are men that she feels responsible for as the princess but that isn’t love and it shows. Merry’s loyalty to the Faerie is what drives this series but over the course of 8 books she has collected more followers than we can count on all our fingers and toes. Too many cooks will spoil the soup, and too many characters will muddle the story. It was hard to focus on what this story was about when every time someone entered a scene we got a summary of their history with Merry. It just ruined the pace of this book’s mystery which would have actually been pretty good if it had been given center stage. For example, Hamilton ends this story with a status update on everyone around her. In just the final page and a half of the book all these characters are mentioned: Adair, Adam, Amatheon, Barinthus, Brennan, Brii, Cathbodua, Dogmaela, Doyle, Frost, Galen, Ivi, Jeremy, Julian, Maeve, Merry, Mistral, Rhys, Royal, Saraid, Usna, and Uther. Twenty-two characters, most of which really didn’t have an active role in this book’s core mystery. Yet the history for each of these characters was provided during this book. It is no wonder this book felt slow and methodical. Just introducing them all with one or two lines would fill a decent sized novella. The ending certainly felt like a good-bye to Merry but I hope that Hamilton has one more Merry book in her so that we could see the birth of her children. She has alluded to another Merry book on her blog but it sounds like it might be a long wait until we read it. Maybe Hamilton is saving the rest of her story for a spin-off about the children. One could hope.

It’s the summer of 1889, and Amelia van den Broek is new to Baltimore and eager to take in all the pleasures the city has to offer. But her gaiety is interrupted by disturbing, dreamlike visions she has only at sunset—visions that offer glimpses of the future. Soon, friends and strangers alike call on Amelia to hear her prophecies. However, a forbidden romance with Nathaniel, an artist, threatens the new life Amelia is building in Baltimore. This enigmatic young man is keeping secrets of his own—still, Amelia finds herself irrepressibly drawn to him. When one of her darkest visions comes to pass, Amelia’s world is thrown into chaos. And those around her begin to wonder if she’s not the seer of dark portents, but the cause. I don’t really know how I felt with this book, to tell the truth. It started off all good and well, your typical Victorian America, with some sort of mystery to the actions behind the protagonist. Then we moved scenes to Baltimore and meeting lots of new people etc, etc. And that’s all fine and dandy. Until the dinner party of page 50 or something (It was near the beginning of the book) and we meet the love interest. Seems okay. But here’s the thing, it’s one of those love at first sight things, not “he’s good looking and ill talk to him before I give my emotional opinion of him,” It’s a full on “OMG, he’s so mysterious and handsome and I love him completely and forever!!” and THEN after much “connecting” of eyes and sparks, they talk to each other. I usually don’t have a problem with this sort of love at first sight business, except usually they get to know each other before professing their undying love to each other. Okay so I might be being a little harsh with this, it didn’t ruin the whole book for me, but it did put me off for a while. Anyway, moving past this, Mitchell began to introduce the supernatural element of the story. The effects were done well, and explained fully and quickly picked up momentum, so much so that Amelia and her passé are entertaining every afternoon. The story quickly moves to spooky and dangerous when Amelia has a prophecy of one of her friends in a serious accident, and there is this constant anticipation of the disaster and mayhem lurking just around the corner and it started to get really good again. Except that it never comes. I’m not gonna give much more away, but we find out why nothing happens in the space of two lines and then the characters move on to the next tea party. At this point I think I was ready to give up; nothing was really coming from the prophecies except for Amelia finding out, through her visions, that unmarried ladies were ‘in a family way’ or someone would lose a glove etc. and then BOOM, everything blew up! Ok, not literally, but everything really hit the fan, and then ensues said anticipated mayhem and disaster – in a BIG way. Ok so besides my nit picking and winging about this book, I liked it. The characters were well developed; when I got over the ‘love at first sight’ annoyance I thought the relationship between the two lovers was well played out, as was the relationships between the group of girls. I liked the constant reference to the everyday lives of the characters, mending lace, cooking dinner etc, and the description of all their gowns. This did slow the story down, but it added another layer to story, identifying character quirks. The world drew you in, and the story itself ended beautifully (if a little weird, after everything that has happened). There is also a nice little twist in between all the blowing up of everything. So after all that, would I recommend it? Yes. I would. Unless of course you are easily annoyed by some of the things I mentioned above. I didn’t think this one would be part of a series, but it is, with the second instalment ‘The Springsweet’ being released sometime in 2012, although I have a feeling that it won’t involve the same characters (See young Adult2 Album), so The Vespertine could easily be read as a standalone. Rating 3.5/5

Từ Điển Việt - Pháp (Khoảng 140.000 Mục Từ) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lê Phương Thanh

Written by a man who taught himself how to read at age 14 (15?) while serving on a Naval/Merchant Marine ship in World War II, this is truly a one-of-a-kind tour-de-force. Like Cormac McCarthy's work in "The Road", Selby was unafraid of brutalizing his reader. If you're up for great literature and a bit of a beating, then this is the book for you.

O.M.G. I loved this book, except that it made me realize how backwards the environment in which I work is. (And that makes me a teeny bit sad.) With that said, Alan Cooper is a damn genius and I’m a total fan girl.

Thân Nhiệt Quyết Định Sinh Lão Bệnh Tử Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Feeling generous, I guess. 4.5 stars more realistic. That's not to say it's not fascinating. The author, an American, embeds himself with the Manchester United hooligans and in the process experiences and exposes the grotesque driving force of mob mentality. It's really quite stunning, how some people can springboard allegiance to a sports team into something wholly more sinister. The soccer hooligan is no joke - the worst of them are vile, ruthless and committed not to a nice day at the ballpark but to violence and destruction. It's no wonder that murderous nationalist movements in places like Serbia could easily recruit hooligans to do their bloody dirty work (a subject not explicitly explored in this book). It's all quite shocking, and makes for an excellent read.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Gerry Bailey

I enjoyed Freeman’s ‘The Celeb Next Door’ far more than I had expected to. It’s a sweet story and at 181 pages it’s a nice, quick read. What I probably liked most was the book’s setting, Camden. I think that’s a good thing because the series is called the ‘Camden Town Tales’ so I’m sure there’s more to come in the area. The descriptions of the market and the town, in general, are precise and very vivid. It was great to read a book about an area I’ve been to, too. The characters are fun and Rosie, the protagonist, is developed incredibly well. Her personality and emotions are portrayed very convincingly and we come to understand her moral dilemmas through her thoughts and feelings. I thought it was a shame we didn’t get to know her two friends, Sky and Vix, a little better but perhaps that will come with the next books. There’s a touch of romance but it’s all very innocent and matches the pre-teen demographic I think the book has been aimed at. This book could have been far fetched and unrealistic but in reality it was really amusing. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. This is a brilliant start!
