Đi Như Là Ở Lại Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This book starts off from an interesting premise and for the most part delivers on it. You've got the good vamp, the evil vamp, and the human maiden that's caught in the tug of war between them. She's duly repulsed by the evil one without really knowing why, and strangely drawn to the good one, again without really knowing why. Add in the backdrop of London high society and you potentially have enough varied intrigue to keep things really interesting. Unfortunately there's a certain flatness and predictability to it all. Not entirely, for the author does keep you guessing just how exactly it's all going to play out, and she does keep one or two surprises up her sleeve, but still I found it to be lacking a bit in depth. Simone seems to be at first glance the typical London Lady, wise in the ways of society and how to work it to her favor. A woman with a very big secret to hide, she's worked hard to create the persona of the Wicked Temptress for herself, becoming one of the key players on the social stage while always holding herself somewhat apart from it to maintain an air of mystery. She is intelligent, practical, courageous, a master at working a crowd, and a gifted fashion designer and seamstress. In all of these ways she differs from the typical shallow and naive virginal heroine of historical romances, though when it comes to emotions, and and the dark intrigues and power plays she finds herself caught up in, she very quickly finds herself out of her depth. Still, she rarely plays the shrinking violet and even when terrified out of her wits is still more likely to jump into the fray than turn tail and run. Her character has a lot of depth to it, and is probably one of the best things about this novel. Gideon is at first glance the over-confident hero. Arrogant, entirely self-righteous, convinced that it will be child's play to bring Simone under his control and protection and to convince Tristan to give up his mad play for power and return to their realm. As it is said, however, the best laid plans rarely survive the first encounter with your opponent, and Gideon finds out quite quickly upon meeting Simone for the first time that she is no timid maid that will do as she's told. Neither is Tristan very inclined to meekly return behind the Veil, and the lengths to which he is willing to go to achieve his goals often leave Gideon dumbfounded. To his credit, Gideon does quickly learn from his mistakes, adapting his approach as needed, though he never quite relinquishes his over-confidence or his idealism, the latter of which nearly proves to be his undoing. The one major complaint I have with this book is the fact that the vampires apparently don't drink blood, or at least the good ones don't. The evil Tristan certainly does, and his wanton indulgences create quite a stir in the places he goes, but the good vampires apparently don't touch even a drop except in special circumstances, which is something I find more than a little peculiar, and, yes, wrong on some levels. I get that the idea behind them is that they supposedly have risen above their baser desires and lusts and devote themselves to logic and scholarship and other such entirely peaceful and civilized pursuits, but still...they're vampires. They should drink blood. And I don't believe that it would have disrupted the air of civility that the author has cultivated for them by having them consume blood responsibly, without taking a life to obtain it, at least when they are in the human realm. Besides this gripe, I simply found much of the book to be somewhat shallow with regard to how things were portrayed. Though Simone and Gideon are given a fair amount of characterization, her moreso than him, other characters are little more than stereotypes for the most part, with the possible exception of the mysterious Nefri. Despite my problems with the book, however, I did still find it to be an enjoyable read. It's perfect if you enjoy historicals, especially ones with a paranormal slant to them, for it's not very long, and it reads easily, so you can just kick back and relax with it without worrying about it being a book you'll have to think about overmuch. Recommended for those who like historical romance, paranormal romance, and/or a blend of the two with a healthy dose of intrigue and danger thrown in.

I just loved this story! It is one of my favorite books I have ever read. It was perfect - scary perfect. It was just the type of story I wanted to read, like it was waiting for me knowing I would love it. I liked the premise of this book and how it is slightly different than most of the other "paranormal" type romance stories out there. And who wouldn't love the sweetness of Caleb and Maggie? I don't want to spoil it but I am so glad I read it and that there is a sequel coming out soon. My only fear for this book is that when the next book in the series comes out that it won't be as good. I don't want this book tainted.

This author kind of reminds me of Michael Crichton and Dan Brown, in that it's written like a screen play. I read this book and still got a C in my bioterrorism course. LAME.

Fabulous, uplifting read! I couldn't bear to read anything sad anymore so I picked up this book from the library thinking it sounded kind of cute. It was GREAT! If you liked 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime' or 'The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie' you will LOVE This book! The book reminded me of both. Get through the first third or so though, the beginning is kind of slow, but then I assure you, you will not be able to put it down! I read it in just one weekend.

Christopher Moore is one of my favorite authors. Some women indulge in raunchy romance novels; I prefer the outlandish and bawdy tales of Mr. Moore. This is one of his best. Outlandish humor, sex, mart science stuff and bizarre characters, honestly, what’s not to like?

Fill In The Gaps - Book 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Edward R. Rosset

Just an OK Alex Delaware mystery,about bodies laid to rest in a wild bird santuary in LA.As the book flap states:"BONES is classic Kellerman-relentlessly peeling back the skin and phyches of its characters and revealing the shadows and sins of the souls beneath." All the usual characters with a few new ones thrown in, make the book its usual fast read. But somehow it didn't quite get me.

Cờ Tướng Tinh Tuyển Trung Cục Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Half-realised meanings, people grasping at something - there is so much uncertainly and a sense of...fleetingness and melancholy in this book. I have no idea how to review this really, except for saying that it was somehow very touching, very human. Katherine Mansfield just writes beautifully, and I wish I had heard of her earlier. The Lady's Maid was just painful, you could feel her life slipping away, or maybe her as a person, buried under years of servitude and humiliation and not deserving, not being allowed her life, first by others then by herself, because she never learned to take. Maybe only half realising it as she tells her story, maybe not? You can almost her her hesitating, it is as if she is in the room, talking to you. The stories posses a sort of clarity, like you're not just looking into a room and seeing people talking but really see those people, or see through them. They didn't need to be any longer.
