Be Honest And Tell The Truth - Tớ Trung Thực, Tớ Nói Sự Thật! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I got a lot of ideas from this book when I first started teaching. It's a great book for new English/intermediate teachers because it helps start daily bell work and is not intimidating or overwhelming. It's full of great ideas.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this very disturbing book is the title. “Let’s see, we have a romance about a heroine kidnapped and raped by the hero, how do we make that look nice? I know, we’ll call it Seduction and maybe no one will notice.” These same publishers are now putting anorexic women on the cover of romances with fat heroines. It was a really interesting story, I’ll give it that. The backstory and secondary characterizations are more thorough and involved than we usually see in category romance, and it was clear that the author recognized herself how truly awful her hero Ben is, in the way she describes how he sulks and broods over not getting his own way, and completely fails to take responsibility for how much damage he’s inflicted. “I know I was a bit rough with you -- I’m sorry. Believe me, I didn’t mean to be, but you made me angry.” Of course, his anger is her fault, for not giving in and so forcing him to rape her. Then when she's still unreasonably upset over having been raped, instead of thrilled, he storms off and gets drunk. Nowadays he would probably be diagnosed as a narcissistic personality or sociopath; this being an old romance, he is just warped and bitter because his mommy treated him mean and so she has to forgive him. I was very caught up in the story, and I can certainly see why some readers might really love its intensity and drama. But the ending, miserable and repentant though Ben is, was somehow not sufficient for me to give retroactive reader consent for his actions. The happiest ending I can see for this couple is divorce if she’s very lucky -- her winding up dead at his hands seems the most probable outcome.

Good, but honestly, it starts off kind of confusing. I've read the whole Dark Tower series. I think this is a must. I don't think it would be a good intro to the series.

Oxford Wordpower Dictionary (4th Edition) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

The feeling that we are just one step behind the world unfolding before us, that the words we wish to speak come only when the people they are directed to pass on...all this and more is wonderfully captured by Ishiguro.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tư Mã Duy

Hard to feel confident about books that are so obviously self-published. Quality of book production was distractingly poor.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Le Nouvel Entrainez-Vous

I really wanted to like this. I felt that it was written only to set up the next book, and its premise undermined the concept of the first book.

I am a Pratchet fan, and now a Miss Susan fan. And the way of Mrs Cosmopolite is one to follow. If you like science fiction, fantasy and a little light hearted ribbing (well quite a lot) of reality this is a fantastic book.

Thế Giới Những Điều Chưa Biết (Tập 8) - Cuộc Sống Quanh Ta Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I originally passed this book by because the title didn’t sound interesting, but I should’ve trusted in Ehrenreich, she always delivers. I found the book enlightening in learning how far a wacky kind of positive thinking (if you think it, it will come) has gained traction in business, government, and the new megachurches. There is also a hysterical chapter in which Ehrenreich skewers positive psychologist Martin Seligman. By far though the most poignant chapter was about her own experience with breast cancer and the pressure to keep positive and never admit to any anger, sadness, or doubt throughout her treatment. It is available on her website: Welcome to Cancerland, http://www.barbaraehrenreich.com/canc...
