Những Bí Ẩn Của Vũ Trụ - Tái bản 01/07/2007 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Isaac Asimov

This review is for the unabridged audiobook edition. I picked up this book at the library on a whim. I was in line to check out other things, and this was sitting atop the new-book shelves. I had recognized the cover from the New York Times bestseller list but never knew what it was about. I skimmed the back and saw that it takes place in 1946. 'Hmm, a post-WWII novel,' I thought. 'This might be interesting.' I'm fascinated with movies and books that take place right before, during, or just after the second world war, so immediately my interest was piqued. This audiobook is read by several readers, each giving a unique voice to the colorful characters. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is an epistolary novel that takes place in England, 1946. The main character, Juliet Ashton, is a writer who's on a book tour and is in need of a topic for her next book. She receives a letter from a stranger who came into possession of a secondhand volume by Charles Lamb that used to belong to her. He tells her how reading has been an escape for him, and it started when the Germans occupied the island of Guernsey. Gaining keen interest in this man's story, Juliet begins to correspond with him and his friends, all members of a literary society they formed as a way to avoid arrest after violating curfew one evening. From the letters, Juliet learns about their book club...and also about the horrors of the war. Juliet eventually travels to Guernsey to meet her new friends and immediately becomes wrapped up in island life, and the lives of those with whom she's corresponded for months. She becomes a changed woman after immersing herself in these survivors' lives...and even finds love along the way. I wasn't too big on the latter aspect of the novel. I was hoping Juliet would just do a straight historical study and make new friends during her research, instead of finding a man in the process. But, in the end, if it makes the characters — who'd suffered so much during the war — happy, then it's not altogether a bad thing. One of my favorite parts in the novel is when society member Isola Pribby discovers Jane Austen and reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time. I never even knew that Germany occupied a British island during World War II. There's so much about the war that you don't often read about, and this book touches on one of those rarely discussed subjects. I'd recommend this book to people who want to learn more about the lesser known facts about the most devastating war in modern history.

This book is an in-depth look into the lives of those soldiers (and journalists) who have been wounded at war. Weisskopf brings a unique perspective to his recovery at Walter Reed Medical Center--being the first non-military person to be treated there. This book is a great read--regardless of your opinion of the war.

The Good Thief was a fantastic, old fashioned adventure story worthy of Dickens, Mark Twain or Robert Louis Stevenson. Tinti has created one of the most appealing and sympathetic scoundrels I've ever encountered.

Giving this a miss I'm afraid. Read about a quarter of it and it didn't engage me at all so I'm not going to attempt to finish it. Am struggling with getting into fantasy novels, so I'm going to pass by this genre for a while.
