50 Điều Cần Thiết Cho Học Sinh Tiểu Học - Tập 4 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bích Thảo

Darkness Dawns 3 Stars Eager for a quiet break from the humdrum of academic live, college lecturer Sarah Bingham’s solitude is shattered when she is literally bowled over by a man being chased through the woods near her home. After saving the injured man from his assailants, Sarah soon learns that there is more to Roland Warbrook than meets the eye. Roland is an Immortal Guardian sworn to protect humanity from vampires whose bloodlust makes them corrupt and insane. After nine centuries, Roland is surprised by very little, but Sarah shocks him to the core with her kindness and acceptance. Can these two strangers find love together as death and destruction rains down about them? The basic premise and many of the tropes are similar if not identical to Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters series. Nevertheless, there are one or two original elements such as mysterious origins of the gifted ones and the idea that vampirism is a virus. Sarah and Roland’s romance is problematic mainly due to the fact that they are simply too perfect and there is virtually no conflict between them whatsoever. A little chatting about their shared passion for organic food and recycling (Seriously - he book is about immortals and they are concerned about carbohydrates and preservatives!), a little sex and everything is hunky dory despite the rampaging vampires and the blood drinking... The secondary characters, in contrast, are far more interesting. Seth, the leader of the Immortal Guardians, is very intriguing as is the love-sick Marcus and the villainous Bastien. There are also some excellent action scenes with a great deal of blood and pain as the immortals are not bulletproof or immune to internal organ damage. The overall story arc involving the gifted ones and their unknown origins as well as the mysterious woman rescued from the military compound are all compelling enough to continue with the series despite its shortcomings. Of course, it helps that I already own the first 4 books.

I liked this book, but I wasn't expecting to have to work as hard as I did. When I pick up James Joyce or Thomas Pynchon (which I don't...I'm just giving examples of non-linear, postmodern, absurd, abstract prose) I expect to have a little trouble understanding the themes, the characters or even the plot. I did not think that picking up a collection of short stories by someone I've never heard of would have me so flummoxed. Maybe I didn't read carefully enough? That's very possible. Or maybe they're obtuse and esoteric. Also possible. But if that's the case, I think Link (which I can't write or read without thinking of Zelda) was obtuse with a purpose. Which at least I considered, so maybe I understand them better than I thought. Or maybe I'm wrong. That's the thing about these stories. They're very entertaining with crazy characters and completely weird, fantastic plots replete with ghosts, Greek gods, the underworld (lots of reference to the underworld), the Donner Party (parts of them...no pun intended) and a prosthetic nose collection. They were engaging and kept me guessing-- with regard to the plot as well as what exactly Link was *getting at*. What's with all the fairy tale references? Why the very, very permeable membrane between life and afterlife, landscape and dreamscape, in all the stories? And why is everyone so weird, in general? I've seen Link classified as a horror writer and a fantasy writer. I don't think these stories fit either of those genres. They're not scary, bloody, gruesome or violent. And they're not fantasy if dwarves and halflings are prerequisites for the fantasy genre. With that said, "The Specialist's Hat" is one of the most frightening stories I've ever read, and "Travels with the Snow Queen" is definitely fantastical. But overall, Link seems to float between genres, occasionally settling in magic realism, which makes the stories all the more compelling. I will definitely read more of Link's collections. They're interesting and I'm determined to figure out what's going on in her world.

These books are very well written. They are short, like 200 pages each, and the stories are intricate, but unfold quickly. Great pacing and imagination.

Lược Sử Đời Sống Sinh Hoạt Của Loài Người - Mất 2.000 Năm Để Vệ Sinh Sạch Sẽ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Guo Ke

Fun to read if your in the mood for juicy gossip and mischief. It will make you feel like a girl if you let yourself get into it. Keeping yourself into it is challenging since not much REALLY happens but once you force yourself to care it's entertaining. Austen is an EXCELLENT, very detailed writer and her sarcasm makes it work despite the boring plot and setting.
