Soul Screamers (Nữ Thần Báo Tử) - Tập 4: Sự Trỗi Dậy Của Ác Mộng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Rachel Vincent

As a writer and a person who loves to cook, I found this collection of essays wonderful. Sure, it didn't have the flow to it that Kitchen Confidential did, but these are essays, written at different points of his career for very different publications (and he explains the context of each piece in the back of the book). I think one measure of a good writer in the newspaper and magazine medium is being able to adapt your writing to the audience. And I believe he does this very well. Sure, the Fear In Loathing tribute piece was a bit cheesy, but as he points out, who wouldn't want to recreate Thompson's vision of Sin City, only replacing the drug binges for top-notch cuisine? If you take this book for what it is, and have a passion for traveling the world and trying new foods, you'll enjoy his perspective on it all.

That was a great read without werewolves or vampires in it, yet with a touch of paranormal and a fascinating twisting of the plot that only let you wonder what will happen next, and no matter how much you tried you'd be all along surprised as nothing turns out the way you'd expected. And the fairies here are totally not what you imagine them to be.

Better than I expected, and one of the better YA books out there for boys. The series started to wear thin for me though, and I have had to take a break before reading the most recent editions.

Argh. Long, redundant, treats readers like they can't follow the story by reiterating details, can't seem to find direction for the plot. Glad to get through it.

It has been quite a while since I read any form of political thriller so I was looking forward to reading "Discontents" by James Wallace Birch. What I discovered was a slow burner of a novel that explores the various ideologies that our societies are currently based around. It really did make me think about things such as the roles of governments and corporations in our lives, which I suspect are the main purpose of a novel such as this. The story itself follows the life of Emory Walden, an infamous blogger who has been sharing his dissatisfaction with the government and society in general. Upon his return to the US after travelling around Europe, he is approached by a wealthy man named Fletcher Spivey who wants to help Emory spread the word about the ails of society. Fletcher uses his money to create an alternative identity for Emory to ensure he remains safe and free. However soon paranoia beings to influence Emory and he begins to question various incidents and the relationships he has formed with people who know his true name. I found the story to be quite dry and slow at first as it revels in the various issues and opinions of those who are unhappy with what society currently offers. After the first few chapters I really wasn't sure if I would enjoy it as I can't say that I follow similar views to what we see in the novel. However I am glad that I stuck with it as even though it isn't the fastest paced novels Birch still manages to take this political view point and integrates it into a rather interesting political thriller full of intrigue, paranoia, subterfuge, a few plot twists and even a little bit of romance. Whilst I didn't really relate to Emory's overall viewpoints, it was still quite enjoyable to follow the viewpoint of an outsider like him, someone with no real prospects who was quite simply dissatisfied with what society could offer. In addition I found Emory to be a believable character, full of the hypocrisy, ego and flaws prevalent in most personalities. There was no attempt by Birch to make him perfect and this was a welcome change to the standard thriller novel that would usually follow the antics of a super spy or highly intellectual analyst. There were a few issues with the novel however; the first is that there is a plot twist regarding a homeless man called Renton which I won't say much about beyond the fact that it just seemed thoroughly incredulous to me. There were also a few logical issues that had me feeling the same way such as one about Emory's face being plastered around the place yet no one seemed able to identify him even when he was in the police station or wandering around the streets all because he was using a different name. Overall, this was a thought provoking and interesting read that I think most political minded readers should enjoy. This is definitely not a book for people expecting a light or easy read and I think the slow pace could prove a challenge for some. However, if you do want your ideas and thoughts challenged by what is at its heart an entertaining story then go ahead and pick it up.

This was really interesting until she gets into the 20th century--at that point Freud makes a debut and I lost interest.
