Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Zane is the perfect bad-boy-you've-gotta-love. We know from The Smoke Thief why Zane is such a consummate thief and why he trusts no one (except Lia's mother Rue). And it's easy to understand why he keeps giving Lia the cold shoulder - he understands perfectly what horror awaits any human who messes with dragon girls. And that leads to Lia's other problem - her dragon powers have not fully developed; she can't Turn to smoke and she can't fly; what's the fun in being a dragon if you can't fly?! She does dream, tho, and the future she sees for herself and her family is not reassuring - can she change it? Can she trust Zane? Can Zane learn to trust Lia? They'll find out when they (reluctantly) join forces to find the Draumr diamond - Lia knows it must be destroyed; Zane wants the money he's been promised for bringing it back. I love the dragon world that Shana Abé has created, and she expands it beautifully in this book. She creates beautiful mind pictures of dragons in flight - makes you want to look up to try to see one flying and looping through the sky. Will definitely be reading the next one: Queen of Dragons

Having just the other day finished what I guess is the first book on this topic by the author, Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus, this one seemed like an easy transition to move right into. I will say though that this one flowed a bit better and was a bit more cohesive of a story, even though it appeared this book is mainly made up of individual writings by the author that have appeared over time on their web site. While the last book opened with the first portion attempting to make a case for the idea that the gospel books were most likely originally written in Hebrew and later translated into Greek, this one did not seem to push that idea as much. Instead, to me it seemed more to be stating that the gospel message of Jesus was most likely spoken in a combination of Hebrew and Aramaic, and was therefore filled with Hebrew thought, cultural understandings, idioms, and the like; and that when these sayings, etc. were then decades later written into Greek, the translation into that language caused some things to get lost and misunderstood from the original intent and understanding. This idea is a bit more acceptable than the former, in light of the scholarship and evidence of the early manuscripts. This book then goes on to lay out an amazing story of Jesus, the culture, his position, the people around him, and the way some of his "difficult" sayings were in fact fairly common in light of their culture. At times I felt like I was walking the streets beside Jesus, seeing what he saw, hearing what the disciples heard, and experiencing much of their culture. I just felt more engrossed in the happenings of the day, and began to get a whole new sense of the happenings and sayings of our Lord. Understanding Jesus in his day to have been more of a fairly typical Rabbi of the time (though with a more powerful twist to his message), and understanding the rabbinical thoughts, sayings and understandings of that time, allows so much of what he said and did to shine forth in a more clear way. Section one focuses on Jesus the Rabbi and looks at his education, what it meant to be a disciple of a Rabbi, taking on the yoke of a Rabbi, and the preservation of a Rabbi's teaching. Section two looked at Jesus in his first century context, and explored the Jewish practice of the day, the dress and traditions of the Rabbi, the name of God, the typical prayer to God (and how it influenced the Lord's Prayer we know), the non-marriage of Jesus and the miracle on the sea of Galilee. Section three discussed various teachings of Jesus, like the rich man who rejected the kingdom, the Essene vow of hatred (the us versus them mentality), the discussion of Jesus and the jots and tittles of the law, Jesus versus pacifism, poverty, divorce and remarriage. Section four ends the book with a great look into the Kingdom and it's presence in the first century, what it meant, how it was known, how Jesus was the "prophet" and "olive tree" promised, and what it took for the Gentiles to come in to the root. Great stuff that really helps clear things up when seen in light of the full-blown Hebrew culture of Jesus' time. This book is a great introduction to understanding the Hebrew roots that assist in making the message of the New Testament much more understandable.

Collins - Listening For IELTS (Kèm 2 CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Collins Cobuild

First, be aware that I devoured this book down like chocolate. Good chocolate. Good, dark, European chocolate. So whatever my criticisms, bear in my mind, I loved this book. 4 ½ stars. The Good. 1.) The internet chat room for transformed people. I would have liked to learn more about the moderator "Chris Anderson," who airily mentions at one point he’s studied “this type of thing,” but the few chat room scenes really worked as a plot device to move things along. And it was hilarious. I would love to see more books on the stories of the other members of the chat room - I really want to know how things worked out for "froggie", “Grizzlyguy” and “snowgirl”. 2.) The school. If ever there were a place where it could be said the medieval royal court moved to where courtiers peck each other and jockey for power and royalty rule supreme with absolute power it surely is the high school. Our Beast while still the human Kyle is king of the cool kids, and boy does he know it and abuse his power, and it is so gratifying when the Goth girl turns out to be a witch ("you made this so easy to decide", she tells him) and takes him down a few pegs. 3.) Motivation. The author manages to make Kyle vial and understandable deserving of the curse, but at the same time presented with a list of reasons why a) he turned out so bad and b) why he is redeemable. Good job of balancing the opposing traits. 4.) Point of view. It’s the Beast’s point of view, which is a fun twist. Last time this was done - Beast by Donna Jo Napoli - I had to scrub my brain with brain bleach due to some very bad scenes involving the prince’s royal zoo. Luckily, Kyle doesn’t go to the NYC zoo and I didn’t have to get the brain bleach back out. 5.) The brownstone. The brownstone as castle worked perfectly, with the Beast knocking around the place exactly like an enchanted prince in an abandoned castle. Wonderful job of showing just how awful it was despite being surrounded by just about all possible material goods. 6.) Literature. Beauty and the Beast both have an excellent taste in books. Beauty reads Jane Eyre and Beast reads The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Like every other B&B story, I drooled over the library. I loved that Beast got so incredibly bored that he started reading and specifically asked for a teacher, which brings me to: 7.) Their teacher. Mr. Fratalli is all kinds of awesome, and a lot of help in setting Kyle on the path to redemption. His attitude is great, in all its sarcastic, amused, angry, softened, I-am-helping-you-learn moments. He also gets some great wry one liners, very deft at summing up all sorts of situations. And he brings the roses, which leads to: 8.) The rose garden. It’s beautiful. And a wonderful explanation is offered as to why the original Beast might have flipped out over one rose. Kyle/Beast shows real growth (no pun intended) when he learns about gardening and takes the time to actually make and take care of something himself for the first time instead of just paying someone to do it. 9.) The love story. Beauty and the Beast is alone in the fairy tale cannon of not having love-at-first-sight, but actually giving the couple the radical concept of time to get to know one another. The author does a good job with the time frame here. 10.) The whole re-telling is very well imaged – each part of the original story is taken apart and fitted back together to make sense in a modern setting and yet still stay true to the fairy tale. The Bad. 1.) The genre saviness was always in flux - sometimes people knew about fairy tales, and sometimes they don't. It’s always hard to know where to draw the line in a fairy-tale retelling between awareness of the genre itself and recognizing being in an actual tale that's already been told and wrecking the suspension-of-disbelief. Meh. 2.) The limitless credit card - as fun as the shopping spree scenes were, it sure made life easier for everyone, didn't it? I would have liked to see how Holly Black would have handled this plot - she really knows how to mix magic with those of us not living like royalty. 3.) Linda. Really? You named your Beauty character Linda? It sounds … so not like Beauty’s name. I looked up and yes, Linda does mean beautiful in Italian, but nothing is said in text, which is weird, because a lot of in-text thought goes into the Beast’s name. As a human he is Kyle Kingsbury, ‘Kyle’ meaning handsome, (which is explicitly stated in the text) and Kingsbury obviously having the word ‘king’ in it. Then, as beast, he goes looking for a new name online and picks “Adrian” because it means “dark one,” which fits his mood at that point. 4.) Magda. The reveal of her back-story left a bad taste in my mouth - it did nothing but reinforce some bad stereotypes. 5.) Beast is going to let Beauty go… but instead Magda convinces him to take her upstate? It would have worked better if going to the cabin was his idea. 6.) Fanfiction. The author admits in her author’s note in the end, and partly through the author-avatar board moderator that she has read/watched a LOT of fairy tales, and it shows. She comes close to fanfiction territory quite a few times as certain scenes seemed to be quite close to Disney, Beaumont, both McKinley versions, Duvall, and Napoli. The Ugly. 1.) Linda as a damsel-in-distress kinda pissed me off. Shouldn’t she be a little more street-wise by this point? 2.) She… forgot the address? And no one remembered to tell it to her or write it down before she left? That’s why she’s late coming back? Nothing to do with the original Freudian sub-texts in the old fairy tale? Lame. Its as plot-thin as the part in King Leer when the servant is all: “Oops. The princess is dead – I forgot to give the executioner that whole ‘don’t-execute’ order. My bad.” Oh, please. >eye roll< The unknown The movie. Will it be as good as the book? Dare I hope?

Uhh, I just can not decide how much I liked this. It had moments when it was maybe three or four stars and then there were some moments that were maybe a two so I will stick it in the middle at three. I was hoping that this was going to be the last book in the series but no luck with that. It was interesting to see Daniel and Luce's past lives together.

This book was a major eye-opener as to what it is like in the world of low-wage work. How many people realize that some have to work 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet? How many others are aware that some minimum wage workers, making an honest dollar, cannot afford rent? There is a serious need for a living wage.

Để Yên Cho Bác Sĩ "Hiền" Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: BS. Ngô Đức Hùng

I recently won this book in a goodreads giveaway. It arrived today and was signed by Jason. I will start reading it right away. Today I finished reading "Wanted". I was a little leary because I thought this was strictly Science Fiction, which is not what I read. ever It is more of what I call an EOTWAWKI (End of the World as We Know it) story wit a couple science fiction storylines. Carl is ex military turned survivalist hermit that saves Jessie from an attack. As she leaves Carls home she witnesses a plane crash and pulls two survivors from the wreckage, Tonya and Dustin. They return to Carls home only to find out Tanya and Dustin's father has sent a security team to bring them back dead. As the book went on I liked the dialogue between Carl and Jessie, as he warms up to her. I am interested to read the upcoming follow up novel as I think there are two possible ways for the story to continue.
