I like how the world is made in this book...how all Calla's world one day is going up side down. How good is not good any more and the bad side dont seem so bad any more. The triangle Calla is in with tow boys Ren and Shay spices it up even more. And the end was just amazing how you dont know what will happen and you wait to get the next book. It makes it so much better....

I happened to see this book lying on a co-workers desk, picked it up and looked at the cover. (We are educators.) "Oh! That is such a good book! Here, take it." If you are looking for a good piece of literature with a good plot, this book is not for you. Think of it as listening to any average person telling you a story. I have to give the book value, because it is something students can pick up (many of mine with low reading skills) and appreciate. This is a book to give to a low reader, or someone going through a similar case of child abuse.

Yêu Một Cô Gái Việt (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Travelling Kat

Another great Ramona book. I was reminded of tin can stilts. I am so going to have to make those with my kids. I was laughing with my husband about the fact that you can't make them out of coffee cans anymore though, since those are made out of plastic...Sigh. How times have changed. I loved the way they brought up smoking in a way that was understandable for children since we have talked about that recently.

C# Dành Cho Người Tự Học - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngọc Bích

This is Roger Ebert's analysis of the oeuvre of Ashton Kutcher. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but only just. Kutcher's films do pop up in this book at a rate exceeding even David Spade and Rob Schneider (derp-de-derp-de-derp!), though Schneider is the subject of Ebert's best review ever, the one from which this book derives its title. When Schneider through a hissy-fit about a critic panning one of his movies (I think it was, The Stapler) and complained that the guy had never won a Pulitzer or anything and was thus unqualified to state a position on Schneider's cinematic out-put, Ebert glided in and pointed out that he does have a Pulitzer, which makes him qualified to state an opinion on the film, and that film does, indeed, suck. The book also contains a recapitulation of The Brown Bunny controversy. When the film premiered at Cannes in a rough form, it was universally panned, but Ebert's review, comparing it to his colonoscopy, was the one most widely quoted. Vincent Gallo shot back and the two engaged in a very public war of words. Eventually Gallo released a trimmed-down version of the film, which Ebert admitted was a pretty good movie, and he penned a mea culpa. By then the damage was done, and even today more people associate the film with the colonoscopy comment than Ebert's revised review. Since this book will, in the long run, be read by more people than the original review, hopefully it will undo some of the damage to TBB's reputation. The rest of the book contains Eberts greatest critical drubbings from c.2000-2006, including classic bad movies like Battlefield: Earth ("The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why.") and The Lady's Man ("[Lorne Michaels'] average star rating for the last four titles is 1.125. Just to put things in perspective, the last three Pauly Shore movies I reviewed scored 1.5.") The amazing thing is that a book of this size can be culled from just his bad reviews from a small portion of his career. The lead critic at most newspapers only does one or two films per week, while Ebert watches almost every movie to come out -- at one point he says he watches 500 films per year. While Ebert isn't an intellectual heavyweight like Sarris or Kael, he makes up for it with sarcasm and incisiveness. (One thing that became clear from reading this book is that he's the godfather of TV Tropes.) And while people often complain that Ebert is a stuck up snob and ordinary film-goers shouldn't listen to what he says, history has borne out 99% of the reviews in this book. There are only two movies here that I think he made a bad call on -- Team America: World Police and Josie and the Pussycats (Josie and the Pussycats is the best movie ever!), and even I'm willing to admit that I'm a voice in the wilderness on Josie. Every other film he pans, even the ones that were hits, is forgotten today. The only flaw with the book is that it's weighted too heavily towards comedies (though "alleged comedies" might be more accurate). Ebert's critiques of them are very good intellectually -- the man is an expert on comedic structure and theory -- but they aren't very entertaining compared to his pans of serious movies, where he's able to let loose and skewer the film with his own wit.

Began listening to this book at the beginning of a long car trip. For some reason, couldn't get acclimated to the narrator's British accent, which normally I would love. But found that it put me to sleep. I love Tess Gerritsen and will try again another time; maybe I'll read instead of listen

Tôi Là Lưu Nhảy Vọt Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lưu Chấn Vân

Not to spoil things for anyone, but this is a fairly depressing read. Fascinating, well-written, ultra-descriptive, but utterly depressing. From one page to the next, anything bad that could possibly happen to Upton's characters - a Lithuanian family, the Rudkus', led by a young man named Jurgis - will happen. But let's talk about what makes the book incredible: it's a social commentary novel with the ambitious aims of exposing what happens in Chicago's filthy "Packingtown" district at the turn of the century - not only what happens with the various meat that is being processed (read chapter 3 for a visceral and graphic account of hog, and then cattle, slaughtering... warning: you may become a vegetarian based solely on the violence inflicted upon the animals), but what happens to the people - the other "livestock". Remember the slogan: "Pork, the other white meat"? Well, Upton Sinclair would probably label Lithuanians -and Irish, Swedes, and other immigrants who were treated as livestock in Packingtown, as "the other white meat" - treated as cruelly as the hogs and cattle that were slaughtered and processed into products for consumption of Americans and Europeans at the turn of the century in Chicago. Interestingly, very late in the story, some blacks are brought in as "scabs" to work the slaughterhouses while the rest of the workers go on strike. Sinclair refers to these people with terms such as "Negro bucks" - at best, for he uses other colorful racial epithets. One gets the distinct feeling that he doesn't like African-Americans when he talks about their laziness, their larceny, and "murderousness". So, for someone who is writing a social commentary novel, trying to improve the lives of the "wage slaves," Sinclair does not do so equally - he's willing to write & fight for the white working man, but not the black. This makes his argument for socialism somewhat hollow, to me. But by the time the communists (and unions) come in to save the day at the end of the novel, we're subjected to the worst behavior of humans treating other humans badly: our lovely family of apple-cheeked Lithuanians are corrupted to the core, having become whores, alcoholics, tramps, beggars, invalids, scamps, mobsters, and convicts. And for some characters, all of the above. But there's something about the way Sinclair writes that is compelling - that keeps the reader going no matter how certain she is that every piece of gold becomes a pile of shit for these characters. I can't recommend this book to everyone, but I think if you have a reason to read it - if, for example, you are interested in Chicago history, or animal processing and welfare, or the plight of immigrants in early America, then definitely read this book. If you are looking for an easy, upbeat read... well, you may want to try some Stephanie Meyers and leave Upton Sinclair alone. I did feel badly for Sinclair after reading some history of him - while I was impressed that he immersed himself so deeply into the dank, dark world of the immigrants, as he himself was an outsider to that world, his massive effort to draw attention to the "wage slaves" was not half as successful as his expose of the meat-packing industry's corruption and, frankly, disgusting practices. The book got the attention of people because it was about the food they were eating, not just who was slaughtering that food. Roosevelt received a copy from Sinclair and instituted what would one day become the FDA. Of course, with the recent upset over peanut butter packaging plants and the disgusting practices there - rats and feces in the peanut grinders - I can hardly see how things have completely improved. On another note: something was familiar about the way Jurgis (the main character) kept saying, "I will work harder!" - this is something he says at the beginning of the story, whenever things get a bit bleak or hard for his family. It strongly reminded me of Boxer the horse, in George Orwell's Animal Farm. I wonder if Orwell borrowed this phrase from SInclair. Jurgis, after all, is a character similiar to Boxer - and their fates are nearly as bleak, although what happens to Boxer is worse in the end. But I haven't been able to find out for certain - if anyone knows, please let me know.

Cuộc Phiêu Lưu Của Tom Sawyer (Huy Hoàng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This is a book of short stories. They are suppossed to be fantasy or sci-fi that have something to do with teens. I kept reading this 500 pluss page book thinking it would get better. There were two stories that were okay and the rest were awful. One story was someone's dream. In an author's note, another author openly admits tweaking her story so it would be included in the book. It almost made me give up my resolve to finish any book that I start...almost.
