Emil's life has been turned upside down in the last year. His mother has died of cancer and his brother, who he has always looked up to, has disappeared without a trace. Emil and his father don't communicate about anything important and rarely see each other due to his father's work schedule. The only friend he has is Soma, a rule-bending, line-crossing boy who is in the same grade as Emil. Nothing exciting happens to Emil. He is average in every way. His brother, Ethan, was the bright, shining star with all the friends, good grades, and a way with the ladies. Emil just lives in Ethan's shadow. He attends Caramoor Academy, a private school with a hefty tuition. Since everything has happened in his family, Emil's grades have started to slip and his father is riding him harder than ever to make the grade; especially since he is paying so much for him to go to school at Caramoor. Emil does have the key though -- the key to notoriety, the key to exploration, the key to discovery. One day before Ethan left home, Emil was digging around in his bedroom and found an actual key. When he asked Ethan what the key unlocked he received a surprising answer: the key was a master key to the entire Caramoor Academy campus. Every door in every building was available to the person who held the key. Emil asked if he could have it and unbelievably, Ethan said yes. Normally the key was passed from one student to another each year. No one except the key holder was supposed to know who had it. The goal of the year was to pull off a monumental prank. Emil's chance at greatness comes when his father has to go out of town for a long business trip and he has four days and nights home alone. He decides to use his time exploring Caramoor Academy. He sets up a makeshift bed in the attic of the main building and proceeds to unlock every door he can find. One evening during his exploration, Emil sees the art studio lit up and hears music blaring from the room. He finds a girl inside spinning a clay pot. He is shocked and doesn't give her his real name because he doesn't want to get caught, but he also wants to find out what she is doing there. After some conversation, he realizes she is the daughter of the art teacher at the Academy. Over the next several days Emil and Jade, the girl in the art studio, form a relationship that leads them to many discoveries about themselves, about the death of Emil's mother and Ethan's role in it, and the importance of friendship. Eireann Corrigan has written a complex novel with true-to-life young adult characters that grow throughout the course of the story. Definitely for older teens, this novel covers topics such as grief, loss, family, and discovery with compassion and humor.

Bố Mẹ Yên Tâm Con Chơi Một Mình Được - Thứ Năm Thích Thú Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: My Bách Nguyên

Finished reading The Wasp Factory (1984) by Iain Banks this morning on the bus to work. This was Banks first published novel & perhaps his most famous. Banks first came to my attention as Iain M. Banks, a science fiction author. I was favorably impressed by the SF novel The State of the Art (1991) so I thought I’d try his mainstream fiction. Being the person I am, I decided to start at the beginning. The Wasp Factory is one strange book. I can’t say I enjoyed reading it exactly, but I’m glad I did. It’s good to expand one’s literary horizons a bit every now & then. For reasons not entirely clear to me, it reminded me of Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding and The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (1965) by Yukio Mishima. The Wasp Factory is about Frank Cauldhame a Scottish teenager, his father and his bother Eric. Frank and his father live on a small island somewhere on the coast in Scotland (in the vicinity of Inverness, I think). They form a particularly dysfunctional family, which is not helped by the news that Eric has escaped from a psychiatric hospital and (Frank assumes) is on his way home. The novel is a first person narrative from Frank’s perspective and he is one strange and twisted individual. In some aspects he seems like a character from a Ryu Murakami novel (maybe Piercing (1994) or Coin Locker Babies (1980)). But Banks draws him so well, that he is not only believable, but I could see just enough of myself in him to get completely sucked into the book. Banks is an excellent writer. At one point in the novel I thought I’d figured out something about one of the central characters, but Banks managed to convince me I was wrong, even though it turned out I was right. As one reviewer said, it’s written from Frank’s perspective and it is a deeply unreliable narrative. The Wasp Factory appears on several list of “important” books: “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die”; The BBC’s 100 Most Popular Books (it’s been on Facebook) and it was selected as one of the 100 best books of the 20th Century in a poll of 25,000 UK readers. But it’s controversial. The review blurbs on the cover of the edition I read, range from “Brilliant… irresistible… compelling” to “Rubbish!” The reviewers on GoodReads.com gave it 3.7 stars (of 5), but a lot of the reviews were 4 or 5 stars and many were only 1. I thought it was a fascinating and disturbing read; it’s not for the faint of heart.
