Doraemon Plus - Tập 3 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Fujiko.F.Fujio

Ryan uses the application of research about the brain and studies about how people make changes to show how change comes about. She weaves science into the chapters without being scientific--making it easy to apply ways to change to the issues I was working on.

Hoàng Tử Bé (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

This is a good novel. It has both elements that make a urban fantasy novel enjoyable to me: mystery and an original magic system. As meay other UF titles Unholy Ghosts is set in a post apocalyptic America. An Armageddon caused by a supernatural event, in this case the dead arose as ghosts and begun to kill living humans. Chess is a witch, one of the people with the power to banish ghosts and trained to do it by the Church, a new religious system that obliterated the others (and also the government) by being the only one with the power to contain the ghosts. It has established a terror regime, but it is the only thing that protect the living and so it is revered. Chess has a problem, she is an addicted, and her dealer need a ghost banished and she cannot refuse even if in the location of its appearance a terrible ritual as been performed. A very good novel, I gave it 4 star because the culprit was pretty obvious (but how and why hi did it is not) and the love triangle, I hate love triangle.

Sài Gòn - Chuyện Đời Của Phố (Bìa Cứng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phạm Công Luận

Apparently I read this book before and just didn't realize it. Must have been before I moved to US, because I'm sure I'd have remembered the distinctive word "Shadowmancer". I remembered most of the scenes in re-reading, so nothing came as surprise, so that definitely took away from my enjoyment of the story this time. What I learned from this book is that religion and fantasy don't mix. I kept thinking, "This is not the way it works." While, okay, I cannot say I know what God would or wouldn't do, etc. it was hard to suspend unbelief. In addition, the story was too moralizing at times, and the ending was highly unsatisfying. All this build-up and for what? And I nearly forgot, but the description of how the villain turned to evil was ... There's no word to describe it, so I'll let the text speak for itself: "...he was overcome by a sudden greed. Darkness and desire has consumed him, washing from him all his light and charity. Demurral was changed in the twinkling of an eye. Every ounce of goodness, every drop of mercy and every speck of joy were suddenly and powerfully transformed in one shudder of his bones. In that instance he has given over all that was good to that which was corrupt." Okay, people don't change that fundamentally in a "twinkling of an eye". Plus later in the book, the author contradicts himself a bit, as he tells how Demurral as a boy mistreated his pet. So was he good initially, or what?

John Carter Và Linh Thần Hỏa Tinh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Edgar Rice Burroughs

OMG i mean the end is just so wow, Cassandra Clare follows a pattern in all her books, there is always a love triangle where picking sides is almost impossible, you have a mysterious villain who somehow knows exactly what goes on, the is always that one character that is so seducing and hell if he exist you'd be in love with him, but he has a messed up past, really loves this one girl main character, but could never be with her. The books have a great story, they keep you at the edge of your seats. The first book starts out slow but then the pace is just perfect in the second book. Her quotes, her references, the philosophy that she doesn't hiss to explain, all her characters are all so intelligent, have so much character that means good in them, and then the turns and twists, they hit. Cassandra Clare continues to be my favorite teen fantasy author and her books over pass any book with vampires and werewolves in it. And I love how there is so much romance, but its like messed up romance, not really sappy, but still makes you wish that you could find someone like that. And the action, you could clearly picture everything happening, and the injuries aren't like over exaggerated or vise verse, they are explained you see the characters really learn from their mistakes.

Em Là Vì Sao Trong Mắt Anh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lã Diệc Hàm

I don't normally enjoy reading restaurant reviews, so wasn't originally sure how'd I'd enjoy this one, but her stories were incredible as she went to great lengths to not be recognized (a friend of her mum's had been in costuming). She is also quite adenturous and not a food snob, so was refreshing to have a NYT reviewers opinions from the lt 80s and 90s.

Combo Chiến Tranh & Hòa Bình (Bộ 3 Cuốn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy

Every woman should read this. Yes, everyone who told me that, you were absolutely right. It is a little book, but it's quite likely to revitalize you. How many 113 page books and/or hour long lectures (the original format of this text) can say that? This is Woolf's Damn The Man book. It is of course done in an overtly polite British way... until she brings up her fountain pen and stabs them right between the eyes. She manages to make this a work of Romantic sensibility, and yet modern, piercing, and vital. Woolf was asked to give a speech on "Women and fiction." She ended up with an entire philosophy on the creative spirit, though with special attention to that of women, of course. Her thesis is simply that women must have a fixed income (500 pounds a year in her time) and a room of her own with a lock on the door. It is only with independence and solitude that women will finally be free to create, after centuries of being forced to do as men please because they support them, and to work in the middle of a drawing room with a thousand practical interruptions, ten children to see to, and a sheet of blotting paper to cover the shame of wasting her time with "scribbles," (as Jane Austen did whenever someone outside the family came into the room) when there was a house to keep and a family to raise. She also shows the creative powers of women tortured and hidden through the allegory of Shakespeare's sister, who never had a chance to express her genius and killed herself after being defeated at every turn. Woolf takes her readers through the history of women writers, and makes sure that the reader cannot fail to see how brief it is and how limited, and why. Woolf states that all modern women should acknowledge their ancestors who fought for five minutes and a few pieces of paper to jot down lines of Jane Eyre, Middlemarch, or Pride and Prejudice. She makes sure that women know that they can reject the framework and the form down to the very sentences that are given to them by men to find their own voice. However, this voice should be, ultimately, sexless. In her view, one should be "man-womanly," or "woman-manly," to write enduring classics. She doesn't let women down easy, either. The end of the book points out all the advantages young women have(/had, 1929) and yet they still don't run countries, wars, or companies, and there's no excuse for that. It's an exhortation to not squander everything the women's movement fought for. I probably could have said this in a much shorter way: "Damn the patriarchy, find your own way and your own voice in life, seize the day, just DO something. How dare you waste the opportunities that so many others would have died to have." Inspiring words on any topic, I think. I think I'll keep this by my bedside to reach for when I feel discouraged or lazy or bitter about my future or my current situation in life.

I loved Anne of Green Gables, and when I got around to reading this I was already halfway to my teens. I remember thinking this story goes around in circles to much. The stuff with Diane getting married always disconcerted me. And Gil, sweet Gil...we always want to read more of Gil.

99 Truyện Cười Xả Stress - Bốn Phương Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Gia

Fun and exciting as usual. I am happy that Briggs chose to explore the Fae a bit more, as they are clearly the ones who run the show. Shout out to old-school Richland A-Houses like the one I grew up in! I wish the Tri-Cities really did have Werewolves and Fae (but y'all can keep your vampires).

Thượng Tướng Hoàng Cầm - Chặng Đường Mười Nghìn Ngày Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thượng tướng Hoàng Cầm

Sometimes a picture book can capture emotions on a much deeper level than many self-help books. This is an intriguing children's picture book that has some really adult elements in it. Despite the mature theme, I think it could be really valuable to a student or child who has lost someone and is coping with grief. The reader is able to connect with Rosen's grief over the loss of his son and start to understand that it is okay to feel sad, but that happiness returns, as well. The book could also be valuable to many adults for the same reason.

我真的很喜欢这本书。 它基本上可以告诉您食物的确切来源，以及它与我们50年前，100年前的食物来源等有何不同。它还描述了现代食品工业对环境的影响。 这绝对使我对自己的饮食特别是购物场所进行了很多思考。 我要进行一些更改。
