Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngọc Hà

Synopsis taken from Goodreads.com: Elodie Rose has a secret. Any day, she’ll become a wolf and succumb to the violence that’s cursed her family for centuries. For seventeen years she’s hidden who and what she is. But now someone knows the truth and is determined to exterminate her family line. Living on borrowed time in the midst of this dangerous game of hide and seek, the last thing Elodie needs to do is fall in love. But Sawyer is determined to protect her, and the brooding, angry boy is more than what he seems. Can they outsmart a madman? And if they survive, will they find a way to beat the curse for good? Okay, I admit it. When I first picked up Kait Nolan’s Red, I was skeptical. And while I’m being honest, I’ll confess that I’m a little burned out on the werewolf-human-shiny vampire scene. So when I realized that Red was about a girl who was cursed to become a werewolf, I may have started to roll my eyes a little. Boy, am I glad I was wrong. Red had me hooked from the very beginning. When we first meet Elodie Rose, she’s writing a letter that’s similar to the one she received on her thirteenth birthday from her mother. The letter that changed everything in her life–the one that told her she was cursed and would soon be transformed into something horrible. In Elodie’s letter, however, she confesses that she wants to be normal, to have a life and grow to become an adult. She doesn’t want to die like the women in her family have before her. But she feels that the change is close, and she doesn’t know how much time she has left. Enter Sawyer. When we first meet him, he finds Elodie alone in the woods with a knife to her wrist, and he assumes the worst. As we soon learn, Sawyer and Elodie will be working together for the summer for Sawyer’s father, a local scientist who is trying to find a way to introduce red wolves back into their area. This was the first book I’ve read of Nolan’s work (her Mirus series is now on my list), but I enjoyed it so much that I finished it in two days. The attraction between Sawyer and Elodie is downright steamy at times (even in cold water), and the overall story was great. Her tagline, “Every fairy tale has a dark side …” is perfect for this book, and I thought the twist she created for Little Red Riding Hood’s fairy tale was great. I’m a big fan of twisted fairy tales, so I particularly enjoyed that aspect of it. Overall, Red is a great read for anyone who enjoys YA literature, and I was very sad when I finished and realized that Nolan hasn’t written any sequels to this one yet. Kait is represented by Laurie McLean of Larsen-Pomada Literary Agency in San Francisco. To learn more about her, visit her website or catch up with her on Twitter.

Những Điệp Viên May Mắn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Văn Tàu

I am a fan of Lawrence Block, whom I rate as a terrific genre writer in the same league as Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake. Okay, maybe Leonard has a few inches on those two, but they all produce reliably interesting characters and situations, and first-rate, crisp, wry prose. Anyhow, Block has three series characters I admire: the dark one, Matthew Scudder, NYC ex-cop and recovering alcoholic turned private eye; the hilarious one, Bernie Rhodenbarr, burglar-cum-used bookstore owner; and this guy, J P Keller. I met Keller in the two story collections, Hit Man and Hit List, both very good. There is one novel, Hit Parade, which I have not read, and then this one; I think that completes the Keller canon. What makes Keller special? I think it's that he's a hit man, and Block manages to get us to like him and root for him. For Keller, killing is a job. Somebody has to do it, and he's a minor talent in the field. Other than that, he's a pretty regular guy. We get to see how he goes about setting up a hit, and dealing with the inevitable snafus, without getting caught. We also get to meet Dot, his handler back in White Plains; I mean, how does a hit man know whom to kill? He has to find out from the central office. That he can be so blase about it all is part of the confection. And with all that, he's witty, thoughtful, kind, and professional. He collects stamps. He even has a conscience. You would like to have dinner with him, and you'd really like to have dinner with him and Dot. I think Keller as a character might work best in short stories, but this novel (no spoilers — I won't give details) goes through several interesting phases, presenting Keller with a sequence of big problems.

Ông Trùm Cuối Cùng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mario Puzo

This book was a CHORE. I'm glad I read it, but it took me a solid 6 weeks of my summer vacation to toil through it. I appreciated it as a glimpse into a very specific time and place, and for giving a voice to the black struggle of the early 20th century, and for being (I assume) very controversial for the time. It is dark, full of philosophical, political and stream-of-consciousness ramblings, and had none of the hilarity promised by the book jacket; a story of helplessness and futility.

Jodi Picoult's books always deal with very real and difficult matters. This one deals with domestic violence. Usually her books really tug at my heart but this one failed to do so quite possibly because I have never been a victim of domestic violence. The only character I liked a little happened to be the main character, Cassie. But I found her very weak. I didn't like Alex Rivers although I did feel sorry for him. As a child, Alex was also a victim of abuse at the hands of his father. This abuse turned him into the man he became, a man full of so much rage which he takes out on Cassie. I didn't particularly care for Will either. In fact, I thought it was sad that he was embarrassed by his Indian Heritage. I did like the book but I don't recommend reading it since there are so many other GREAT Jodi Picoult books.

Great follow up to Moon Called, more interesting information about the main characters and fresh new characters - some a bit creepy.

The author writes clearly. I learned a lot about many systems of thought, as she described the doubt associated with them.
