Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Vikas Swarup

“All in all, stained glass is pretty but it seems to blur the truth.” Oskaloosa Moon is the story of Moon, a boy with a cranial deformity who is cast out as a pariah by society. Moon is as honest as anyone and tries harder than most, but with a head that makes children cry there is no room for him in town. Ignorance and intolerance won’t allow for it. In fact, the townies, pillars of decency though they purport to be, are too dim to perceive that Moon is in fact quite gifted. He excels at mathematics and has a natural aptitude for mechanics, yet he is not permitted to graduate from high school. Moon needs to learn his place, somewhere far away from Oskaloosa. Fatherless, Moon’s mother leaves him and his grandparents die. He only has one friend, a boy named Willy who has a speech impediment. Moon has more than his fair share of bad luck, and his story is at once comical and sad, moments of humour and warmth punctuating a series of injustices and tragedies. Moon tries to remain upbeat, but there are too many forces working against him. We think Moon might be autistic or suffer from savant syndrome, but we’re not sure because the story is told in the first person, and Moon, although he realizes he’s different, never fully grasps the degree to which this is so. Not even the actions of his unfeeling mother, the disagreeable town doctor, or a few state officials bring it home to Moon just how different he is, try as they might. Besides Willy, there are a few who show the young man affection and consideration, but unfortunately ignorance wins the day. I’ve never read a book quite like Oskaloosa Moon. The mind searches for comparisons. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn? Bill Bryson’s Thunderbolt Kid? JD Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye? Robert Cormier’s I Am the Cheese? Comparisons may be convenient to inform the reader of what they’re getting if they purchase such a book, but comparisons are also odious. You wonder as you read Oskaloosa Moon just how much of it is true. You know much of it must be, but it’s presented so well that it’s hard to say. Oskaloosa Moon would make a great novel to be taught in, say, grade 9. It’s a superb lesson in the hypocrisy, prejudice, and indifference of human society – a very compelling story.

Phim Trường Akira Toriyama - Tập 1 (Akira Toriyama's One Shot Collection) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Akira Toriyama

This book of poetry has become one of my favourites. From the start I instantly understood I would love Atwood's poetry. I haven't read any of her other fiction, but I surely will. The poetry is both moving, sensual, sad, angry and at times even funny. I love how she covers such vast topics, yet manages to make the book feel whole and interconnected. Her Circe/Mud Poems were delicious to the literary feminist in me, and everything else appealed to everything else in me, simply. The language flows so easily, yet is complex and thought provoking. The way she plays with line breaks and the meanings of words made me all giddy. And then there is the tone of strength running through every one of the poems. I loved several of the poems, and read them again and again. Still two sticks out very clearly in my mind after finishing the book: "Song of the Fox" and "Late August". The fox-poem was so harsh and sad, it really crept under my skin. It might be my personal favourite. "Late August" was both endearing, sweet, warm and moving, and at the same time there's this current of sadness running beneath it. Brilliance. Marvellous poetry, no doubt about it.

This story highlights what is possible when a child is given love, education, opportunity, and responsibility; he grows up to be a responsible adult and citizen. While the book takes place in a different time and place, the worries and joys that Young Fu experiences, are applicable to today. I thought the book ended somewhat abruptly but I'm not sure how it could have ended differently.

I actually did sort of like this book, even though it was required for a class. (I took the same one as Becky.) She's right...the ending was a little sketchy, but the movie rendition was so hilarious that I can't help but remember it fondly. (Note: It should not be hilarious, because what happens isn't really funny, except that it is completely ridiculous.) I'll probably re-read it someday, as I still have my copy from my college days.

Was interesting at first but I lost interest midway thru the book and scanned to the ending. It was the same info over and over and over. I got the idea. Life was tough. Would have been a good short story instead.

Bộ Văn Học Tác Giả Cormac McCarthy: Những Con Tuấn Mã - Vượt Lằn Ranh - Thành Phố Vùng Thảo Nguyên - Không Chốn Nương Thân Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cormac McCarthy

This book is absolutely amazing. I actually have an old paperback copy that had decreased in price due to the reprint. I loved the intimate look Kay offers into the tragic and tormented life of Erik. Her descriptions are visceral and astounding. I highly recommend this to any and all Phantom fans, those who are cultivating an interest, or anyone who simply enjoys a marvelous read.

funny and entertaining - I listened to this while commuting and it's a refreshing change from a novel. It was quick and whitty. Reminded me of watching Mad About You or Bye Bye Love.

I fell in love with this book. Taking all risks to find destiny, follow our hearts, find our treasure, needs a great deal of courage and willpower. The story was a good training course to make one believe the impossible.

I abandoned this one when the three weeks were up at the library. Although I like Smith's books generally, and the characters in this are interesting, it began to remind me of a hamster on an exercise wheel - running around and around at top speed going nowhere.
