Thủ Tướng Anh Winston Churchill - Cuộc Đời Và Sự Nghiệp (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This is a re-read of a series I first picked up in my early teens and have re-read a couple of times since. Acorna is the first book in that series. I would describe the series as a sci-fi/fantasy mash-up; it has space travel, futuristic technology, and aliens, but it also has a unicorn girl with magical healing powers who is hailed as various goddesses incarnate and saves enslaved children from evil slavers. Is it any good? Well, let’s just say I enjoyed bits of it more than other parts. The first part of the book I’ve always greatly enjoyed. The comic dynamic of the trio of itinerant miners – Rafik, Gill, and Calum – who discover an alien unicorn girl works really well. The interplay of the three off one another, the comedy of the situation, and there was a real sense of sci-fi here as they travelled the stars undertaking their asteroid mining. Their escape from Amalgamated Mining is always a part I’ve found less thrilling. It all just seems a little too silly and easy to pull off to be believable or gripping. Nevertheless, the quartet goes on their way and now they’re on the run. The escapade with Rafik’s uncle, Hafiz, is another section I’ve always enjoyed. It serves as an interlude from the previous action, the descriptions here are vivid and evocative, and the battle of wits is both an enjoyable read and adds some more comedy into proceedings. The planet-hopping that follows as they struggle to keep afloat and one step ahead of their pursuers is semi-enjoyable, but all the planets they visit are skimmed over too quickly, I felt, with not enough distinguishing description, events, or characters. Finally, the quartet arrives on Kezdet, where Acorna gains a powerful new protector and joins the effort to end child slavery on the planet. It’s here where I felt the book suffers the most. It seemed all too convenient for Acorna to become the ward of her powerful, wealthy, beneficent protector, and all too easy to uncover and bring down the child slavery ring. Many of the characters seemed one-note at this point, even previously established interesting characters such as Calum, Gill, and Rafik, as they each become focused on their individual tasks. Pal Kendoro is just a stereotypical puppy love, his sisters general well-meaning but lacking any really distinctive personality, and the antagonists just seem to be through and through evil without any redeeming features or deeper complexity. It did begin to feel a little bit Mary-Sueish, with Acorna the stunningly beautiful unicorn girl with magical healing powers rescuing the dirty children in rags, who of course immediately love her, from the soulless slavers. One confusing thing as well; the book opens by stating that; “The space/time coordinate system they used has no relationship to Earth, our sun, the Milky Way”, yet throughout characters give distinct Earth backgrounds (e.g. Chinese, British…), use modern idioms and reference historical events (e.g. the abdication of Edward VIII), and even refer to constellations that we know, such as Coma Berenices. Not only was this somewhat confusing, given the initial information that the story is supposed to be set in a fantasy reality/galaxy, but I also found it immensely distracting. As a reader I want to be immersed in this fantasy universe, but every so often the book is reminding me of the real world, not the fictional world I’m supposed to be losing myself in. I’ve liked this series, over the years, but it’s always seemed a little bit simplistic and not quite up to scratch as far as being an amazing read goes. It’s decent, it’s reasonably enjoyable, but no more. I like it, but I don’t love it. 6 out of 10

Sounded like such a great story idea, but unfortunately I was never able to feel connected to any of the characters, and at the end of the day, the story was far from credible. I struggled to finish it.

This book is AMAZING. So suspenseful, so curious, and so effective. Most original narrator/POV I've read since "The Book Thief." Loved it, loved it, loved it.

** spoiler alert ** This was a quick read, not totally bad but not that good. The emergence of the movie makes it unnecessary to say much about the plot. This book seems so popular that most people know someone who's read it. The help of the title refers to the black women who served as maids and nursemaids to the white families of Mississippi. Suffice it to say that the maids are good people who do their best while the white "ladies" are selfish and cruel, except, of course, for the Stockett stand-in, a character named Miss Skeeter, and another character, a representative of the so-called "white trash," a character who doesn't seem to know that she is not supposed to sit down at the same table with her household help. Although the story is set in the early 1960's, that time period seems almost pasted on as an after-thought, announcing historical events as the plot moves along in time. Miss Skeeter and the twelve women who share their stories with her produce a book (called, not surprisingly, Help), which imagines itself bringing enlightenment to all. At least Stockett created two living characters (Aibileen and Minny), but the rest are wooden and barely believable. And wouldn't you know it, after the book is published, Aibileen and Minny stay in Mississippi and deal with that changing world, while Miss Skeeter flies off to New York City to become a writer. I wonder what that Miss Skeeter will write about after The Help has had its run.
