I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Creagh's narrative is delicious. Give me anything with her beautiful, warping prose and I'll be happy. I had to get a napkin to clean up my drool after reading the first paragraph. This by far is my favorite part of the book. But at the same time it's Creagh's doubled edged sword. At times she describes too much. She leaves us with a cliff hanger but it feels anti-climatic. After the cliff hanger, she still continues to write, dragging a bit. The book itself didn't drag, the events did. My eyes drifted over the text, searching for the relevant stuff. After the narrative, my favorite aspect of Nevermore was the dynamic of characters. Cheerleader and "goth" (personally I felt he was more punk) may seem cliche, but it worked for Nevermore. The distance between popular, cheerleader Isobel and dark, Dark Lord Varen was BIG. Not in a, "Oh, he's a loner who everyone hates because he's all alone" or my favorite "he's a loner who everyone is afraid of because he's hot and seems smart." And when described, I can't help but image an cardboard-cut-out of an Abercrombie and Fitch model, and usually the male lead is as interesting and deep as cardboard. But Varen nor Izo (love that nickname) are thin and made of cardboard. Varen could use more depth, but at the same time, he's already very quiet and closed off. It makes sense to feel something missing from him. But again, doubled edged sword. The bigger the "gap" the bigger the spark needs to be. But here's the thing, I never felt that spark. One day Izo wakes up, and "Oh, I think I'm crushing on Varen. Pretty cool!" Wait, what? When did that happen? What made you think that? He brought you ice cream to make up for being a douche? No, Izo. No. That's not enough. I can see why Varen digs Izo. She's been kind to him and showed him that she cares, despite how different they are. But Izo diggin' Varen? Nope, still can't see it. But! for the short moments together, it felt believable. The sweet kiss, the "I'll come back for you!" all seemed to plausible. But I just couldn't find the attraction between them (Izo doesn't once swoon over his looks, thankfully) whether looks or personality. Like a missing puzzle piece. Another problem with cliche was the bullying. I know it happens, but at the same time, I found myself eye rolling at Brad's hostility toward Varen. But I'm like that with any cliche. I just wished Izo's "crew" would have been less "He's a freak" and more...normal? Less stereotypical? I don't know. Too hyper real. Thirdly, I love Poe. In my eyes he is the American Shakespeare. Creagh weaved Poe's tales in to her own nicely. The only story she incorporated that left me scratching my head was The Cask of Amontillado . Was that really necessary Creagh? Were you trying to use an allegory for Izo being walled in in the dream world as Monstresor walled in Fortunato? Did you really need to waste a few pages for that--see. This is part of her narrative flaw. Love her prose, but sometimes she writes a bit too much. At first I was going to give it a 3.5 but I thought of all the other 3.5 books I've read in the past and I'd never liked them as much as I enjoyed Nevermore. So for sheer enjoyment I gave it another half star. 3.5 + .5 = 4.

I really liked how this was done from a 5 year old child's point of view. It was a quick read that was both optimistic and depressing at the same time.

Let's Learn English - Student's Book 3 (New Edition) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

The main problem is that the Sphinx is try to open the demon prison zzyx so Seth and Kendra and their friends must stop him. Protagonist: Seth, Kendra goods kids who want to do what's right Antagonist: the Sphinx a very powerful being who believes that no one should be a prisoner. I liked the comedy in it. "Well a stayr must have his t.v. and radio." The theme is that good will always overcome bad even if it doesn't seem like it. I would recommend it to all ages because it's a really good book.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Michael Michalko

For absolute n00bs. You're probably better off reading a tutorial off the internet. It's short, so it's probably worth skimming if there's a copy lying around, but it's certainly not worth buying.
