Tập Tô Màu: Sở Thú (Tập 178) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Hilarious book of food ads from the 1950s, with beautifully snarky commentary (frex "core sample from a mass grave" to describe a particularly unappetizing thing), and a certain amount of affection for its subject.

Usually I appreciate different writing styles, but I couldn't get over this one. Needless to say, I could not bring myself to finish this book. It was that bad. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Cuộc Đời & Đạo Nghiệp Của Hòa Thượng Tuyên Hóa - Giai Đoạn Ở Trung Quốc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

For one who writes so convincingly in the voice of a teenage girl, using trendy pop lingo and acquiescing completely to the modern world in which the girl lives, author Richard Peck still most definitely has one foot firmly planted in the camp of the old-fashioned writers of bygone days. As one of few prominent authors today who still produce their books exclusively by way of typewriter, Richard Peck has nevertheless written many stories that embrace the most modern of technologies. He frequently makes use of these cutting-edge advances to further his narratives, and does it quite comfortably from behind the familiar tap-tap-tap of the typewriter's keys. Richard Peck may be best known for his historical fiction novels, which have won him most of the big awards in the field of literature for children and young adults, yet it was with his teen ghost stories that he first made his indelible mark as an author. Three Quarters Dead is a return to those early roots of his success, in the form of an unpredictable and off-the-wall ghost story that will keep readers guessing at every turn. Kerry is only a sophomore at her high school when a small, elite group of the most popular seniors at the school grafts her in to become one of them. This is a high honor that isn't extended to just anyone; the three senior girls who have offered to take Kerry under their wing don't hang out with anyone else who's not a senior, so for Kerry to be given access to their group is a nigh upon miraculous occurrence. Kerry has no idea how quickly things for her will change when her three senior friends—Tanya, Makenzie and Natalie—meet a swift and horrifying end in an accident that vastly changes the dynamic at their school. Kerry's relationship with the three girls was complicated and it never had been clear to her whether they actually liked her or were just holding on to her as a commodity that might turn out to be useful at a later date, but Kerry still struggles emotionally with the reality of their sudden and violent death. That is, she struggles with it until the day she receives a new text message from Tanya... What is going on here? Kerry went to her friends' funerals and saw the grieving relatives, even if she herself never actually looked at the bodies of the three dead girls on display. There's no way that Tanya, Makenzie and Natalie could still be alive, but is it possible that a more profound, mysterious law of life is taking command here? Is it possible that Tanya, she of the most forceful and winning personality one will ever come up against, has found a way to refuse her own death and go on living as if the accident that claimed her life never happened? As I see it, the greatest asset to Three Quarters Dead is the book's easy, compelling readability. It's not necessarily a novel of high suspense or daring intrigue, but the writing flows nicely and fits the story perfectly, revealing a little bit at a time of the bigger picture behind the mystery as we inch ever nearer to the book's climax. I enjoyed this novel, and there's a chance that I would give it the full two stars.

Linh Kỳ Kinh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This book came to me because the recommender asked what that funny statue was in my living room. I replied, a tanuki. He looked at me strangely, so I spelled tanuki out for him. Then, much to my surprise, he said I read a book about tanukis and I thought they were made up by the author. Well, Tom Robbins did not make up the story of the tanuki from scratch, but he did embellish on the Japanese legend. Robbins is one of those rare authors where I stop for a second and think, how the hell did he come up with this?! He is creative without being unbelievable. He writes as if you were having a direct conversation with him and not just merely reading a novel. He doesn't explain every detail immediately, and let's the pieces fall into place as the reader moves along. He is well-versed in current events, mythology, philosophy, and pop culture. In other words, he is a rarity. The plot jumps back and forth without being overly confusing. You have to trust that the loose ends will be tied up eventually, and it is worth the wait. Everything and everyone is connected, and what at first might seem like happenstance, turns out to be another fork in the road. Suspension of reality may be necessary while reading this novel, but at the time, it doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

500 Câu Chuyện Đạo Đức - Tình Yêu Thương Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Thị Thanh Nguyên

I loved the hero – who was sweet, tender, dark, and soulful. Anna was just as good, and I liked reading about her princess-like past and comparing her old self to her fierce mama-warrior nature in the present. I liked watching her struggle, even as I felt immense empathy for her and her situation. What is it like, Alward asks us, to have everything you want in life except for the things you most crave – approval and love? The dialogue felt a bit flat to me at times, as though I understood what Alward wanted to say but she didn’t quite get it out. It was occasionally stilted and awkward, but most of the book flowed smoothly so it was pretty forgivable. I loved watching all the sadness and hurt that Jace and Anna carry around turn into love and healing together – though the process isn’t all roses and sunshine. Alward’s stories are about real people working out real dramas. I liked the underlying theme of love vs. money that Alward wrote – which is more important and what do you need to make a relationship thrive? It was an intriguing question when applied to Jace and Anna’s relationship, I thought, and I liked the way she introduced it and worked through it to the conclusion. All in all, Alward has written a true winner that will pull on your heart-strings, curl your toes, wet your eyes, and remain in your memory for a long, long time. Exquisite. Simply exquisite. http://sirenssongreviews.blogspot.com...

Beezus Và Ramona Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Beverly Cleary

If you try to get a copy of Peter Pan, you find not only are there hundreds of spin-offs, movies, and odd-ball sequels, J.M. Barrie hismelf wrote a handful of versions of it himself -- from the original play to a children's novelization, to the story of Wendy, ad nauseum. While I recommend Wendy and Peter to anyone who wants the nity-gritty on the now-iconic character, the play holds a charm all it's own, particularly if you're already pretty familiar with the story. Plus, you can get it from Dover for a buck.

Điểm Tựa Của Niềm Tin (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

A wholly different way of looking at Jefferson, through the lens of Monticello, and his obsessive building and rebuilding of the house. Jefferson's public life is scrupulously avoided, mentioned only when it bears directly on his (always desperate) cash situation or his changing taste. His 8 years in the White House is mentioned only because it almost bankrupted him; and his long stay in France is mentioned only because it refined his architectural esthetics. True, all that's been covered endlessly elsewhere, but it disconcerted me in the reading. By leaving the core of his existence out of the book, you end up with a Jefferson who seems to have nothing on his mind when he's at Monticello except ripping the place up once again, and the effort makes him seem almost insane by the end of the book, when the house is unfinished and falling apart despite his 40 years of almost non-stop building and remodeling, and he is so far in debt that his daughter has to sell Monticello not long after he's dead. You begin to wonder: Americans elected this nut to two terms as President?! To help counter this effect, I kept my iPad close by as I read, and filled in the gaps here and there by reading about Jefferson's fuller life. At the same time, the book was meaty with period detail, and I appreciated McLaughlin's discussion of slave life and status at Monticello, particularly the question of whether Jefferson fathered several children with a black mistress. McLaughlin says yes, but he settles the question not by reviewing the genetics but by teasing from the estate's records the many ways in which Jefferson treated his black family with much greater interest and concern for their welfare than his other slaves. This sticks with me as one of the great strengths of the book, and gave a much more human face to this brilliant, restless, contradictory man.
