This collection of short stories set in Dublin was written by an immature, youthful Joyce. He is not yet the man who wrote Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake. He's young, and he's seeding the ground with what will make him famous. I actually adore these kinds of novels. The young work of a great master. Showing him in his process, and watching the maturity grow as you read over his work. I think perhaps it reminds me that these men were not luminous beings who were gifted naturally to pour out the pages of masterpieces. They learned and changed, and did so profoundly. It also gives me faith in just what people can become. This is in no way Joyce's best written work. It's not the most deep. It is him just beginning his adventures and branching out. Some of the stories are short, and simple. They all deal with repression, smallness, cold. But as a whole they all convey a sense of desolation and heartbreak that cannot help but touch you and draw you into the work. I am always drawn to works that are able to do that to me. With Joyce it is doubly impressive, since his characters are seldom likable or sympathetic. But there you are, with their feelings all over you, nonetheless. It may not be sympathy. In fact, it probably isn't. The characters generally don't deserve it (with the exception of the story Eveline, and several characters in the Dead). It is heavy. It is not easy going. I would recommend reading it in chunks so it doesn't overwhelm you with the sheer dreariness of the stories he is telling. Also? The story at the end, "The Dead," has been deemed far and wide as one of the best short stories ever written. I think that that is entirely correct.

despite my best intention to read slowly through the book (in order to savor each and every word reading the final chapters of Harry's story), i just found myself turning page after page after page. i finished the book in less than 24 hours (despite having mommy duties in between). when i finally reached "all was well", i just stared out into space for a few minutes (or so) torn between exhilaration and despair. at last, it has ended. oh no, it has ended. what steinbeck was to my uncles, and jane austen was to my aunts, i think i just finished the series that would define my generation. i don't know about other critics but i loved this book and i am deeply impressed at the way Rowling wrote this series, especially the final book. the twists, the unexpected turns, the stories behind the characters, everything was just brilliant. before, there were so many loose ends that i didn't think a final book with less than a thousand pages could cover it all. but it did. of course, there would be some plotholes and some unanswered questions, but i think they were meant to be left that way so that there could be lots of things for people to speculate or imagine about, long after the series has ended. i love the way the characters progressed through the years, and from one book to another. aside from harry, of course, i loved neville! most kids start out with low-self esteem but they can do great things, too, once we start believing in them. i think a lot of kids will be able to relate with him. also, i never thought i would say it after book five but, i loved kreacher! that bit about him hitting mundungus on the head with a pan... that was super funny! the book is also a lesson on the reality of human weaknesses. dumbledore, for all his wisdom and power had a weakness for power. even if he eventually chose to put his power to good use, there were still moments when he has succumbed to his weakness (see the resurrection stone/gaunt's ring) which eventually caused his death (starting with his hand). and voldemort, heavily intoxicated by his apparent invincibility, has overlooked a lot of small but meaningful mistakes which eventually led to his defeat. impressive magical power aside, we make mistakes because we are all humans, after all. there are many other impressive themes in the book but if i wrote them all down, i don't think i would be able to cover them all. these, you will all just have to read for yourselves. some people (narrow-minded ones, i guess) would say that this book was anti-Christian, with its dark and magic-infused flavor. but really, this book talked of sacrifice, courage, friendship, and love - very universal concepts of humanity that, i think, all Christians and non-Christians will agree about. in reality, i think one needs to pass through scenes of "death and gore" in order to get "there", life is actually like that, right? overall, it was a brilliant piece of work. i'm actually scared for Rowling. i don't really know how she can top this. but, we'll see what kind of magic she'll whip out next.

Gặp Lại Chốn Hồng Trần Sâu Nhất (Tái bản) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

** spoiler alert ** for all bacigalupi tries, it's pretty obvious twg is written by a european guy. a lot of these plotlines and character tropes seem based off of stereotypes (chinese guy is a greedy backstabber, american businessmen are all corrupt, the japanese are porn addicts, or the porn themselves). the titular character only gets about 1/4th of the pagetime when she's by far the only interesting character in this novel (anderson is a douche, it's still unclear what she ever saw in him especially when he USED HER PROGRAMMING AGAINST HER and she just. doesn't recognize this despite her pointed anger at her other owners for mistreating her??). emiko's only desire throughout this entire novel is to live with other new people and though she doesn't get it at the end, the ~resolution~ of this plotline comes through implications in the epilogue that a guy may be able to reproduce. (like no thanks, emiko may be impressed and thrilled, but it only solves her problem going off the assumption that "oh yeah she's a woman she'd be thrilled with providing the dna for future generations of new people, kinda like being their mother!!" if he wanted to address her wants he could've, y'know, just gotten her to that new people village instead of given her some perverse desire to stick by the side of a dying man who saw her like a thing and would've abused her just as badly as her previous owners. all without having emiko even realize what was going on because bacigalupi wanted us to think anderson was "our good guy, he sees himself as her owner but he'd still be a NICE owner so it's different!!" nice.) regarding the writing itself: there's also a lot of telling without showing. he talks all the time about how people are starving yet he makes the literary choice to focus on characters that are relatively well-off so they're always eating anyway, THEY don't have to deal with the food problem so we hear all of it second-hand. (by the way why use the thai word for fish when you can just write "fish"? we get it, it's set in asia, okay.) idk honestly beyond that it just wasn't very engaging. this is a terrible review but i just wanted to get my thoughts out while they're still fresh.
