Công Chúa Ngủ Trong Rừng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nicoletta Codignola

I did not enjoy this book. It takes place in North Dakota as the last of the Native Americans are being driven from their land, and is told in different accounts through several characters. The writing was fine, but in terms of storyline, everything was focused on sex (almost always of the unpleasant variety), starvation, or superstition. There were also several inconsistencies as people changed their stories while telling them, which drove me batty. The various superstitions of the characters also meant no one took responsibility for bad things they'd done, or deserved credit for the good. I found that really depressing. Woven into the text were a few historically interesting tidbits, but not enough to make this worth reading.

For several long years I intended to get started on Middlesex. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for Christ's sake... what was stopping me? I borrowed and returned a copy unread and then picked up my own for $.50 at a book fair. It sat for a long time. Initially the length was the primary turn off -- I'm not scared away by lengthy fiction, but when one day I opened up my copy and read the intro pages, the style turned me off to a 500+ page investment. After I felt I'd waited long enough, and when my selection of next-books-to-read-on-hand got terribly thin, I finally read it. Maybe I didn't get it. I took a "Sexuality in Literature" course and a 400-level discussion course in college about gender and sexuality in America and felt like those discussions and papers combined with my worldly views and my liberal disposition set me up nicely to really accept a book about a hermaphrodite and their life and struggles. What I got what some version of an incestuous, three-generation family history sprinkled with tiny peeks into adult Cal's life living as a man. Once Cal's section of the book comes alive, I wanted to get more about her experiences growing up in a conflicted body. They're there of course, but limited. I guess my expectation was too high? Maybe I was anticipating something more pornographic, or voyeuristic? It just fell flat with me for the most part. When Cal travels to New York my interest was renewed and then quickly faded away again when she leaves shortly thereafter. Considering it is a novel with such praise (again, re: Pulitzer) and the recommendations I'd heard, I was disappointed that I didn't enjoy it. It made me feel less intelligent -- did I miss something? -- what's the hype!?! -- is a problem of relation? On the plus, it was so eloquently written (even if it left me wanting) and it ignited a new interest in Detroit (Middlesex's back drop and maybe even a character in and of itself as it changes significantly over time). At least I can tell myself I read an award winner.

Hắn Và Những Chuyện Linh Tinh Của Đàn Ông Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Quang Vinh

This is a fictional story about Sarah, a girl growing up in the Arizona Territory in the late 1800's. That doesn't sound all that interesting, but I could not put this book down. Sarah was such a likable character, and I was happy when things went well and shared all her pain and grief through her trials, which were certainly many.

Bảo Đại - Hoàng Đế Cuối Cùng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lý Nhân Phan Thứ Lang

There are tensions in the story from the start. Polly has been Rose’s friend since they were 6 and they’re now in their late thirties and you soon realise that their shared history is going to be significant to the story. Rose has a very ordered and domesticated life that she wants to immerse herself in and Polly, an ex-musician, couldn’t be more different. The arrival of Polly and her two sons throws the household into chaos. As the story unfolds it becomes apparent that Rose is keeping secrets from Polly and Gareth and you can’t help but think that these are going to lead to trouble. There is a sense of mounting tension in the book, all the more disturbing for the comfortable domestic setting that makes it easy to identify with. When I took a break from the book I went back to it with a real sense of dread. We only see the story from Rose’s perspective, so you never know the truth about the situations she finds herself in and sometimes I wondered about her own motivation in the way she acted. This is a great first novel, but more middle-aged & middle-class than something like a Nicci French thriller. I found it hard to put the book down (sense of dread aside) I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. For me it just left too many questions unanswered, and from a personal preference I do like the author to tell me what had happened, rather than leave it to my imagination.

Tự Nảy Mầm, Tự Vươn Lên Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ohmae Kenichi

I had so many kids tell me how awesome this story was-- kids who said they didn't normally like non-fiction, but that they couldn't put this book down. So I moved it up on my reading list, and it is indeed a fascinating story. The way that James Swanson paces the events draws the reader right in, as does his opening statement that the circumstances surrounding Lincoln's assassination and the manhunt following Lincoln's death are so bizarre that nobody could make this stuff up. Middle-grade and middle-school students will come away with a new appreciation of Lincoln and the tension that faced the country in the days following the Civil War's official end. Captivating from beginning to end.

A non-mystery (a romance, in fact) from the great mystery writer. Not finished with it yet, but am far enough along to see that the writing is very good. Strikingly human characters, making strikingly human mistakes with their lives. Not your typical, contrived romance novel, and I'm not sure how it's going to end. Ok, I've now finished it and can confirm that I could not have predicted the ending, despite the fact that the entire thing is a flashback. So points to Dame Agatha for keeping us confused even when she's not writing a mystery. It is difficult as a 21st century reader to stomach the early 20th century racism in Christie's books, and this one has more of it than most of her others, so it's harder to ignore. But the characters are extremely well drawn and the story engaging, even haunting. Not sure "romance" is really a fair description of this book's genre. More of a tangle than a romance.

For me, the writing, pacing, characterization and storytelling found in the tales of Ketty Jay are top notch. The dialogue is witty. Frey, as well as others have continued to fascinate. Harkin and Pinn are the weakest, but provide comic relief. The plot provides twists and turns, and even when I anticipated them, the actions were enjoyable. Violence was extreme, but didn't leave searching for a worm hole to crawl into. Love the tease of romance. This series is just a romping good time. I intend to read the next installment, The Iron Jackal.

8/26/11: Contrived, overwrought, and melodramatic--this novel irritated me from start to finish. While the topic (the roundup of Jews in Paris in 1942, known as the Vel d'Hiv) is an important historical event that should definitely be brought to light, while the author's earnest efforts to evoke what it must have been like for those involved is laudable, and while I'm sure it will make a great movie, the writing, characterization, and story line are frustratingly clumsy. There are some great scenes (hence the easy transfer to the screen) and the structure of the book is interesting. Also, she writes well about the ambivalence of the French towards their own historical mistakes. But the protagonist's growing fascination (okay, obsession) with Sarah and with her husband's family's tangential involvement in Vel d'Hiv doesn't ring true. Thus Julia herself becomes just a vehicle for the plot, less and less believable as the story progresses. Other characters appear, but are never fully developed, only to act as foils or supports to Julia's search. There are also tantalizing clues to the possibility that Julia is searching for answers to more than just questions about Sarah's unfinished story--there are big questions about her unhappy marriage, her love affair with France, her inability to have another child. But although the end seems to be a Happily Ever After, those questions are never really considered. She ditches her husband and adopted country with nary a backwards glance, which, while certainly possible, is not very satisfying in a novel!
