Cung Đường Vàng Nắng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Remember in the 1982 film version of "Annie" when the entourage of rough and tumble--yet oh-so-adorable--orphans dance around singing that it's an "empty belly life! / Rotten smelly life! / Full of sorrow life! / No tomorrow life!"...? It's a song that played in my head for the large majority of this trilogy. I finished reading this a couple of weeks ago and for some reason hadn't gotten around to reviewing it yet. Like "Catching Fire," the third book in the trilogy isn't quite the ride that the first Hunger Games novel is. I honestly don't much hold that against the second and third books though; the first is a hard-to-top sort of tale. By the time we reach this part of the narrative, the Districts are moving toward full-scale rebellion. After the shenanigans pulled in the Arena in "CF," Katniss has become the face of the rebellion, and "Mockingjay" follows her journey into a game of an entirely different sort - one in which she must play leader for a series of supposedly more moral/just figures and forces against the Capital and the ever-monstrous President Snow. One might be tempted to warn against believing that there's greener grass in the other pasture. Of course this is something Katniss already knows well, but Collins does take us through an interesting turn in the story, when it becomes clear that, in the case of war, there's rarely a true "good guy" in the old battle-between-good-and-evil yarn. There's something to be said for the fact that, even without the Annual Game in this book, Collins is able to to invest the action of the later part of the novel with the same inventiveness and fascination that the Games provided for the first two books. I won't spoil anything, but know that this book is really. effing. bleak. They're all horrible tales of young'ns and old'ns alike living no-tomorrow-lives, but the third book in particular features brutality in a way that, to my mind, hits a bit harder. Perhaps it's by virtue of the fact that you've spent, what?, 800+ pages with these characters at this point? Perhaps it's that the losses aren't as expected as they are when characters are in the Arena. Maybe it's just the sad fact that you're holding out hope that everything will go as planned & the rebels will simply dispatch with Pres Snow with minimal grief. If you're unable to accept that sometimes shit happens, and that shit can be real bad, you may want to turn back now.

Tiền Là Gì - Tập 4: Tiền Của Thế Giới Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Gerry Bailey

I read this a long time ago thinking I would enjoy any Booker Prize Winner. This was when I started understanding that it might not always be the case. Weird, with a doubly weird twist at the end that left me feeling disgusted.

This is a book you should read out loud to someone. But when my wife had to stop reading because she was laughing so hard, I had to read over her shoulder. She said to me, "I guess having two boys isn't so bad."

Chiếc Lá Cuối Cùng (Tái Bản 2014) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

It was due back to the library before I was finished all of the stories, but I was impressed with what I did have the chance to read. Dostoevsky's novels will definitely be a challenge for me to read so it was nice to start in with a sampler or his shorter works. I don't have any sort of background in Russian Lit so I'm glad to finally begin digging in. Definitely recommend this book if you want to start out with some of Dostoevsky's shorter works.

Great book for parents/teachers seeking stories to counteract the dominant Columbus as hero narrative or even just looking to show an alternate perspective. Particularly poignant is the boy's questioning whether the visitors are human because they are covered in colorful cloth that makes them look to him like parrots. Must mention that the pictures are just as, if not more memorable, than the story itself.

Bao Thanh Thiên - Tập 2 (Tặng Kèm Decal Bóc Dán) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: An Huy

SPOILERS. I was very disappointed at the lazy plot that included the first ever return of the victors to the games. The only reason that I didn't give this one star is that there were some parts that I enjoyed, for instance the wedding dress burning into a mockingjay dress and the two women from District 8 aluding to the existence of District 13. I felt like Collins plot skills and character development were lazy at best. I'm questioning whether I should go forward and finish the series. I probably will in the hopes that maybe it can end on a less disappointing note.

Can't get enough Eleanor of Acquitaine. Oh, I miss historical fiction. Why doesn't anyone (besides Phillipa Gregory) write it for adults?

Outlander - Chuồn Chuồn Hổ Phách - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Diana Gabaldon

Not good enough to make me a vegetarian, but good enough to stop me from eating veal ever again. The philosophy is so straightforward that you wonder why anyone else ever needed to be so complicated; in any case, this is praxis over theory, and definitely worthwhile for any first-worlder.

Absolutely amazing. I wish I could attend Calvin forever just so I can always have the option of walking over and talking face to face with this extremely talented author, who also happens to be one of my profs. I only gave the book 4 stars because of the ending--really, Professor Schmidt? Really?
