Những Chuẩn Mực Làm Người - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Kim

This wasnt completely want i expected and it kind of leaves you dissatisfied. I just felt the protagonists racial identity is never figured out. But then I suppose you cant always figure out racial identity, maybe that's part of the point. Anyway it was a very engaging read.

after reading a million little pieces, I had to read this and it was quite good as well. It was interesting to see the transformation in James between the two books. Definitely some of my favorite books in a long time!

Not necessarily a review, I'll just say some random things about it, as opposed to writing a "review" like I'm a fully ledged, college graduate critic. The Last Templar reads very much like Dan Brown. The only difference I noticed was that Raymond Khoury's conversations between characters tended to break my suspension of disbelief. You expect me to believe such long drawn out conversations happened in the circumstances that they did? Not to mention every main character in this story must be skilled at sitting down and feeling no inner feelings whatsoever as someone else talks! It's like a full page of exposition by one character! You expect me to believe that the listening character has no inner thoughts whatsoever? It seems like he only uses inner dialogue for the characters at random just to spice up the writing. I don't mind long monologues but there is such a thing as "moderation." Unlike Dan Brown books, this writer manages to give us random long chapters ("long" is relative of course as some of the long chapters aren't that bad) which contain loads of exposition and flashback sequences. The thing that bugs me is that the scenes (sorry when I use the word "scene"; it makes me sound like I'm talking about a movie but I'm not sure what else to call them...I'll just say chapters) which take place during the old ages seem to be random and out of place. It was like Khoury was sitting down writing and trying to decide "Should I write a historical fiction book?" and then he noticed Dan Brown's books and totally changed the whole idea of "The Last Templar." By the way, why is this called The Last Templar, when the titular character hardly appears???? (Feel free to answer as this is a literal question) Going back to the dialogue, I couldn't help but think that as some of these long discussions went on, the author was preaching to us. Maybe it wasn't fully his opinion, but these long ass monologues began to sound more fake as they drew out. One person talked, the other person listened but hardly ever rebutted (is that a word?). Sure there parts where someone did give a rebuttal but only after a long drawn out conversation. In short, I didn't care for the dialogue of The Last Templar. Or to be precise I didn't care for the dialogue of the present day characters; I would have LOVED to hear more thoughts from the actual last ****ing Templar and the rest of the historical characters. FINAL VERDICT: If you're a fan of Dan Brown you will probably enjoy this tale; if you're a fan of historical-based fiction, you also may enjoy this novel. If, however, you enjoy well written prose, try something else out. Personally, I liked the historical details of this novel more than the actual narrative between Reilly and...the forgettable female lead (cannot remember her name and I'm not breaking my current cycle of writing to look at the book or Wiki; in fact, I think I spelled Reily's name wrong, too). They say the best stories are the ones that gain the most criticism and the most-examined flaws. Well this story doesn't really get any attention from me. Just makes me want to read more about the Templars and ****. Shoulda went with non-fiction on this topic. 2/5

Bộ Chuyện Nhà Jean (Trọn Bộ 3 Cuốn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignod

you think you know a lot about how the human mind works, and then you read a book like this that just wrenches open everything. while some of the characters/personalities are truly bothersome, i really liked this book and going through "truddi's" (not because it's not her name, but because truddi is just a construct) journey towards self (selves?) discovery.

At first I didn't think I'd enjoy this novel. I felt lost and confused. The story beings almost as if it's missing a chapter. I felt lost and didn't understand what was going on. But as I continued to read, and convinced myself that there were no apostrophes on purpose, I started to enjoy the story. At around page fifty I began to get what was going on. Then I couldn't put the story down. I found it interesting that the two main characters don't have names, simply the man and the boy. The relationship between the two was so heartwarming I found myself pulling for them to survive. They were not just in a father/son relationship. They were also best friends with equal respect for each other. I've not read this kind of relationship in a book before. I'd have to confess that this is the first book that actually kind of freaked me out. At one point, I found myself reading faster as the action quickened. The book became a movie playing in my head. And I don't really think most stories really become movies while I'm reading, so I suppose that say something. This book won the Pulitzer which seems like maybe too high of an honor. But it is certainly unique.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyệt Minh

I thought this book would be perfect for me, with its recursive and elliptical structure, the crafting of the prose, and above all its emphasis on the unknowability of history (And no way to know what happened then—/none at all—unless, of course, you improvise:) since that is one of my very favourite themes, but I found it to be the complete opposite. It is incredible stylistic, true, but I thought it was too obtuse. I could find no way in, I kept bouncing off so many characters who seemed cyphers rather than people, and after a while, that became maddening to me, especially since I think the style of the novel may have been better suited to something mostly prose than something mostly dialogue. I only kept reading to the end because I refused to admit that the book had defeated me, especially since so many people who are smarter than me rate Faulkner so highly—and that's not really a terribly good reason to keep reading a book. Let's chalk up another one to the inadequacy of my brain—I dread to think of the final tally.
