Hành Trình Trái Tim Nhóm Cung Lửa: Bạch Dương - Sư Tử - Nhân Mã Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Interesting series, but a bit uneven. My biggest complaint with this volume was the overly quick confrontation and vanquishing of Darva, and that the "Lost Word" was actually several. Still, though, a good read.

This is a compelling and disturbing book. Once you get into the rhythm of the folk type dialect you are taken into a world of sexual violence, horror, love and sacrifice. I wish I had been able to read a book like this when I was 14. I would have found some comfort from it. I've read several different reviews online regarding this book and the explicit violence depicted and directed at young adults. Some have been rather unfavourable and condemning. It makes me shudder at the small mindedness of such people. Children are not glass, they thirst to understand. It's only our adult prejudices that stop them or teach them to fear. Personally I find nothing wrong with a 14 or 13 year old reading this book. Young Adult fiction offers a way teenagers can identify with issues they face and like it or not – Sexual Abuse is high on that list. I love this book, it's real and confronting, I would have no issue encouraging my daughter or even son to read it. It's beautiful.

Con Không Bao Giờ Đi Lạc! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dagma Geisler

Good book by a really good author. The book is about a group of teenagers who die but don't end up where they thought they would after death. The female lead character decides to leave the forest she died in, in search of her family, and the two friends she meets in the afterlife go with her. The afterlife and the people she mets on her journey turn out to be more complicated than she thought.

** spoiler alert ** I've read this book twice. So here are some scatter thoughts on it/response to other reviews. The tone starts off extremely conversational. It can be hard to adjust to except for the author adds in just enough intrigue to keep things going. A word here...a word there which alerts you to the fact that you don't really know what's going on here. One theme of the reviews I read is that nothing happens here. Maybe it's the result of reading a summary before you start? Because technically this book is "sci fi" and alternate history (taking place in the 60s-80sish) but it is written like it is not. Therefore, if the novel is in 1st person, why would the sci-fi aspects be fully explored as the narrator does not view their own life as sci fi? Kath only knows her life as her life which is a mixture of the mundane and the extraordinary. However, what many readers find mundane are extraordinary moments for Kath and vice versa. The one thing I love is just how many questions this book brings up. Even after I finish, I find that I have endless questions especially about the school, Hailsham. Was Lucy right or wrong? These characters are doomed to an early and lonely death. Is it better to prepare them for what is ahead or keep them in blissful ignorance? Kath struggles with this very concept as she looks back at Hailsham with extreme nostalgia of the good old days but also fights back regret and anger over not really know and therefore not fully living especially in regards to her relationship with Tommy. So while donating organs until you die seems like it should take center stage, Kath is more concerned with the complicated lifelong relationships of her Hailsham friends. After all, even the closest ones grow up and grow apart in many ways, exacerbated by their impending future. So in this respect, Never Let Me Go is a simple coming of age novel. Still the ending often seems abrupt and uncertain. We don't know Kath's future even though her two closest friends have both "completed" and she has only just started donations. On my second reading, I came up with this theory and reread the first couple pages to see. As mentioned, the novel is written in first person and I think this is the key. Now imagine yourself living in this alternate world where clones are raised to donate organs. You and everyone else has learned to at least ignore the moral implications of whether that person has a soul and true emotions. A few protests and revolutionary movements started in the 70s around this but were eventually subdued and just didn't gain enough steam. Hailsham is the last of these revolutionary schools that try to inspire these clones through education and creativity but by the time the author is writing, it is closed down. All other clones are subjected to much worse living conditions and less education, although the book is vague on these points. Kath and Tommy finally track down the ever elusive "Madame" to find out if the gallery exists, because the gallery contains the best of their artwork which they have guessed would show their innermost souls and thoughts. Kath and Tommy believe, that with their love for each other, this artwork will prove their love and grant them extra time to be together before the donations start. Their former teacher informs them that the artwork was taken, not to prove the innermost thoughts of their souls, but simply to prove to the general public that these clones had souls and that they were worth educating. It's also worth mentioning that the people who were cloned were often the lowest members of society meaning that even if the public viewed these clones as real people they still viewed them largely as degenerates. Sooooo, finally arriving at my final point. Kath's narration in the first few pages sets the scene as if she is directly talking or writing to someone rather than just the general audience. What we are now reading is basically her legacy as we can assume that she started her donations and then completed. If anyone was ever in any doubt about whether these clones were living breathing human beings possessing a soul, or that the original person from which they were cloned would doom them as degenerates, Kath's book reveals a soul. She was a person who enjoyed fine literature and the arts. She was someone who defined herself as a good and caring friend, empathetic to others emotions. And she was someone who constantly criticized herself for the failings of the original person who she was cloned after who she suspected to be a porn star or prostitute. In essence, her day to day anxieties and fears were no different from anyone else. She was simply raised to believe that her life had little worth while her death did and that her future was already decided. The evidence that "Madame" and Miss Emily needed may very well be this very book.

Cắt Giảm Chi Phí Để Tránh Bế Tắc Trong Kinh Doanh (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This book was given to my parents as a Christmas present after a tough year where they lost two beloved pets: their 14 y/o dalmatian, Lakoda, and their kitty, Sassy. I didn't have a chance to read it while I was visiting them, so I took the opportunity to check it out from my local library to see what all the fuss was about. And what I found was wonderful. This sweet, charming book follows the life of one "dog" living several lifetimes. He is born and re-born in different situations, many heartwarming and loving, and a few gritty and determined. The story is written from the point of view of the dog, which is an amazing feat in itself. The author really captures the beloved sweetness of most dogs we know and the fearful, wretchedness of feral dogs that have crossed our paths. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs, likes them a lot or a little, or those thinking about getting a dog. You will laugh, you might even cry, and above all, you will get a glimpse into what we believe goes on in the mind of a dog. Wonderful story. Rated PG for thematic material.

A short, heartfelt piece about a boy connecting with his grumpy, old-fashioned grandfather. Written for a younger audience, but the grandfather's comment about waiting struck a cord for me.
