30 Công Thức Nấu Ăn Của Yanny - Món Chay Cho Tiệc Buffet Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Yanny Đặng

People raved about this book so I was eager to read it. The premise sounded wonderful and I dove into its pages with gusto. Unfortunately what I read didn't live up to what the cover blurb promised. It took forever for the book to pick up momentum, at about 100 pages into it I finally felt like things were getting interesting. But by then the main characters began to be overshadowed by the heroines multiple personality disorder. Cat is an impulsive, charming, beautiful lady of Queen Elizabeth's court, everyone adores her. Yet whenever the hero, Patrick, is around she turns into a bratty teenager in the throes of temper tantrum the likes of which no one has ever seen. I know that animosity and tension between a leading couple at first is supposed to, and generally does, lead to some healthy sexual tension and a passionate beginning. But all this did was grate on my nerves. Cat's attitude toward Patrick wore thin with me really quick. She turned into a grade A bitch whenever he was around and I couldn't stand it. Then, miraculously, she does a quick 180 and finally acts like herself around Patrick. But by that time the book is more than half way through and I had more than lost interest. This story had elements that should have created a great tale, but the delivery fell flat. I was less than impressed with this story and deeply disappointed. I almost quit reading it several times, and for me that is really rare. I usually hand the books I read over to my sister, but I will spare her the long and painful boredom, and trade this book in for something better.

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
