I read this book as a teen and absolutely loved it. The main character is witty and certainly has her hands full. I felt her presence every step of the way. I am now a big fan of The Hollows series.

Thiên Thời Địa Lợi Nhân Hòa - Tái bản 12/2012 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bạch Huyết

I wish that the cover of this book included this: "(And I can prove it -- with Science!)" See, sometimes I wonder: When I find conservative political arguments convincing, is it only because I (usually) already believe the propositions, or is it because the arguments are factually and logically sound? Above everything, I am interested in the truth and reason; personal feeling and "agenda" come second (and hopefully are subject to what is true). Often, when considering a particular political or theological issue, I'll just wish that I could know what is absolutely true, whether it accords with my beliefs or not. So that is the main reason that I loved this book and think it is probably one of the most important books written in the last several decades. Because the main conclusions of this book -- that the media is plagued by liberal bias and that this does affect the average American -- are based on numbers that are spit out by unbiased mathematical equations. In order to take issue with the results, one must actually prove that there is an error in the equations and data. (And Groseclose points out that the results were originally published in an elite academic journal in 2005, and no one has yet proposed any such errors. Even brilliant liberals have attested to the accuracy and soundness of his method.) Groseclose did not know that his huge 8 year research project would come to these conclusions. His concern was only to put the "science" into "political science", for once. This book painstakingly explains his thought process, how distortion theory works, how the political and slant quotients are computed, the several different ways bias was measured, and how this bias has actually affected the American public (Groseclose posits that, had it not been for the media, McCain would have beaten Obama soundly). He takes you through the equations and the graphs and the numbers. And throughout it all, Groseclose goes to great lengths to be generous with his conclusions. Of the numbers that his equations spit out, he uses the conservative results to compute bias (meaning that, if anything, he ends up understating liberal media bias). He is candid and straightforward and charitable when evaluating people's intentions. This book is incredibly even-handed. In the end, Groseclose proposes two measures which he thinks will help to remedy this disconnect between the media and the average American. First, he recommends that journalists spend more time around conservatives (he demonstrates early on that, overwhelmingly, they are currently exposed to very few actual conservatives). Second, he proposes that journalists state outright their political views (perhaps listing them on the network websites), which they currently guard like state secrets. In doing this, Groseclose says that journalists will be more like politicians -- with the latter, at least, you usually know where they stand and aren't suckered into believing they're truly unbiased. There are measures in place to ensure that politicians are accountable to their constituents, while there aren't any such measures to keep journalists honest. I was riveted by this book and amazed by how much work and time and effort must have gone into it over the years. I am grateful to Groseclose for that and believe he has made a significant contribution to political and social thought. That said, if anyone who happens to read this is aware of a worthwhile refutation of Groseclose's conclusions/methodology, then I would appreciate being linked. As I said, truth is my greatest concern. Also, if you are interested in computing your own Political Quotient (PQ - an estimation of your liberalness, or lack thereof), you can do so at Groseclose's website.

There are some funny anecdotes here and a lot of good one liners. Unfortunately some of it reads like Christmas letter.

I think Barnum should have stuck to showmanship. It contains a bunch of homespun-type advice that really has not got much substance. I guess I expected something a bit more engaging.

Hush, Hush was one of the earliest YA Paranormal I have ever picked up in a bookstore. If I remember it correctly, the second book I read after Eternal. That was when I was 15; young and fresh mind, with no personal experience of judging what's good and not good back then. I was walking in this massive bookstore, letting my eyes dart from one shelf to another. And then this book, Hush, Hush, was on the featured table along with the other bunch. I had heard quite a few things about this novel because my Tumblr friends had read it and liked it so much. And so I was tempted, the book lingering on my hands before I finally decided to purchase it. And besides, I couldn't resist the cover. Intriguing and alluring, with a review on the front saying 'hottest blah blah blah'. The title captured my attention as well. So to say, curiosity got the best of me. The thing with Hush, Hush is that it has the element I most look forward to in relationships. The kind that starts with two people being strangers; the guy is mysterious and aloof, who is constantly pestering the girl, while the latter is trying to resist and all. But then their bond grows, develops. That eventually blooms into romance. Isn't that sweet? Although there is the matter of Patch being a pervert. Which should be a big turn-off for me. But whenever I hear his name, I would think of the word 'hot'. And that's when I know that I still am swooning over him. Nora, on the other hand, is... fine. I don't really remember what I think of her during those times. But I did understand that what made her reckless at times was curiosity as well. She set aside her fears just to search out the truth. Patch drove her mad. We all knew that. And if I were on her place, I'm sure as hell that I would be too. But Nora isn't that dumb. She's as normal as any teenager could be: curious, angsty, driven by hormones. No problem about that. She has some family issues. She has a blabbering friend. An anti-heroine bitch created to make her teenage life miserable. And a creepy stalker she eventually fell for. I did not admire Nora, but I understand her. The mythology of this novel is just enough to keep readers going. It doesn't reveal much, but it answers what is needed to be answered. Same as the plot. It has the exact amount of suspense required for that kind of category. The theme is balanced, from showing us the normal life of Nora to the dangers just hovering in the surface. It did not bore me, unlike Unearthly and Fallen. Yes, you read it right. Unearthly. I hated that one. I liked the writing as well. By the time I joined Goodreads, I was surprised to find 1-star ratings on the first page of reviews. So I read some of it. And while I agreed with them for discussing certain points, I still couldn't deny that I once loved this book. Even after reading it for how many times now. Another thing that I noticed in the past when I convinced myself that this was actually a bad novel is my interest in topics that discuss this book. I would join the thread, talk about things about Hush, Hush, and even think of Patch as one of the hottest fictional guys in the history of YA. I know, I had been a hypocrite. The thing is, I have now the guts to admit my own opinion about this novel. And I don't regret it. Now, on to the sequel.
