Những Danh Nhân Làm Thay Đổi Thế Giới - Charles Dickens - Nhà Văn Vĩ Đại Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

In a fluke moment of inspiration, young Paul Feig composes a mildly clever humorous poem about a knight with wardrobe difficulties. Both his teacher and classmates, all of whom usually hate his guts, react positively to it, instilling the belief in Feig that everything he writes from here on out can't help but be raw, unaffected genius. And of course his next poem is incoherent and awful, and everyone hates him again. That's the kind of embarrassing school-days anecdote that's funny to look back on. In sixth grade homeroom, I put on a puppet show about safety starring a squeaky-voiced character I made out of a pillowcase and a balloon named "Blue Boo", and quite unexpectedly my every word and action was met with uproarious laughter. I spent the rest of my middle school career failing to capture that magic, putting on one forced, horrifically unfunny puppet show after another. Devastating at the time, funny now. I still have that pillowcase, mouldering in a drawer somewhere. Fuckin' Blue Boo. When the humiliation is the result of Feig's naive nature and active fantasy life, it's funny and charming. Otherwise, there's really no way to make physical attacks and relentless verbal cruelty all that funny or enjoyable to read. Unless you were a bully once yourself, and you'd like to relive the thrills of torturing people weaker than yourself, in which case by all means pick it up. That way maybe retroactive guilt will consume you, and you'll buy a gun and blow your brains out! Wouldn't that be great, Scott Clukey? I mean, nameless reader?

At a Glance: The Pledge had a very interesting and original concept, and I enjoyed the story, but for me, there was something missing. I found much of it predictable and lacking in that believability you still have to have even in fantasy. Review: I am a huge fan of Kimberly Derting, and of her Body Finder books, so I was really looking forward to reading The Pledge. I've been on the waiting list at the library for awhile for this one, and dropped my TBR pile when it was finally my turn. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. It just didn't click with me the way her other books have. I'm not comparing it to the other series at all, I'm actually glad that it had a completely different feel to it, and I did enjoy it, but there were just a few of things that just didn't work for me. I liked the setting quite a lot, but I never truly had a grasp on exactly when/where it was supposed to be. It was a mix of past, present, future, fantasy and dystopia, which is great, though I didn't know if it was set in our future, or if it was an alternate universe, present time. The times it talked about the past, it always mentioned a past that didn't exist in our world. If it was set in our future, it just didn't seem like they had progressed from our time period at all. I just wish this had been a little more clear. I loved the feel of the book. It was a lot different from other books that I've read. It was such an original concept. There were things in the story that I just couldn't swallow, though. Like how rude Charlie was to Max. Someone please explain to me what on earth he saw in her, because she was never anything but witchy to him. Was she PMSing or what? Yet, somehow, he totally fell for her. Which, I have to say I'm glad for because Max was very much YES. Also, NO love triangle, so that was a definite plus. I kept expecting one, like it was just lurking around the corner.....would it be Xander? Aron? But, thankfully, no! Just Max, *sigh.* The other things I couldn't quite buy into were, first, Charlie's parents. They had to be about the stupidest people on the planet. There were times when there were threats, possible invasions or bombs, and her parents would send Charlie off with her sister, while they stayed home. They said it was to protect her, but that makes zero sense. How would them sitting in their house like bad-guy-bait protect Charlie at all? Dumb. They made me really mad. Then there was Charlie's friend. Let's call her Candy (to protect the innocent....). There's something that happens with Candy later in the book that I just couldn't buy into. I can't really go into details without giving away major spoilerishness, but, for me, it wasn't believable. Then there was the predictability of the plot. I just felt like I saw everything coming a mile away (well....except Candy's part). Overall, I'd say that this book had a LOT of potential, and I did enjoy it, but it just lacked a little something for me. I feel like every point could have been explored deeper, the setting, the characters, the special powers only the queens have, the lack of respect for males, the countries they're supposed to be at war with. I feel like there was so much going on, but none of it was really explored. I guess maybe that's why there are going to be sequels. However, I did feel like this book was wrapped up really well. I seriously loved the ending, it was great! It could easily be a stand-alone, and one of my favorite parts was how cryptic the epilogue was. Want a different take? Check out Mundie Moms review!
