I've just fininshed reading the first 4 Harry Potter books for about the 5th time through, and they're just as magical and affecting as they have ever been. Everything is in here: suspense, adventure, mystery, humour, danger. There's even some pretty satisfying paybacks. The characters are fantastic and fantastically realistic. There are bad people who turn out to be good guys and good people who turn out to be bad guys, just like life.
哈利波特读后感

1 emma–the fourth, longest and last of jane austen’s books to appear in print during her lifetime, emma is considered a classic romantic comedy and was first published in 1816. written almost 200 year ago, it’s inevitable that the dialogue may feel a bit stilted at times. however, this adds dimension and depth to the story which focuses on 19th century social hierarchies and the interaction between various social classes. miss emma woodhouse is a shining example of a 19th century socialite. beautiful, clever and wealthy, she fancies herself a master-matchmaker and sets in motion a laundry list of schemes to pair off the highbury residents. convinced a make-over would elevate her new friend harriet’s social standing and thus her marriage potential, emma, fueled by her feeling of superiority, plotted and planned, all to no avail. failing to realize the extent of her shortcomings and the consequences of such hurtful behavior, emma was finally confronted by mr. knightley. afterwards, embarrassed and ashamed, she reevaluated her life and began to make amends, in hopes of becoming a better person. emma is a beautifully written, classic, laced with wit and sarcasm. through a vastly differing cast of characters, each delightfully inspiring in his or her own way, austen vividly captured the heart of a community. everything is neatly tied up at the conclusion, as things literally come full circle…ending much the way it began. a sublte, yet very significant messege is hidden just below the surface–the beginning and the ending are just definitive points in the journey, in between is where we write our definition of happiness. there’s a depth and sincere honesty written into the very fabric of this story- that must be recognized to fully appreciate the artistic genius of jane austen.like a vintage automobile, emma is a slow, leisurely read, perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon. 3 the vampire story is a well tried and tested plot line. the undead feeding on the blood of the living, and in so doing turning their victims into vampires as well. great plot, but it has one flaw. the usual scoop involves a vampire needing to drink blood every night. i live in a small town of around 20,000 residents, some simple math shows that within two weeks, we would all be vampires, in fact within ten weeks every person in the continental us would be a vampire, and a few weeks later the entire world! that said, i have no problem with vampire related books. predatoress is set in modern times, actually 2003 and most of the activity takes place in the small hungarian town of sopron. for the main character the author has selected herself, emma gabor. emma is a sweet 18 year old girl with a promising future as a genetic researcher. those aspirations seem dashed following a close encounter with a shadowy figure who introduces emma into the world of the undead. emma in turn co-opts her friends. of course the small population of sopron can not possibly sustain this ever expanding vampire population, and the young ladies are forced to forage further afield. as with any secret, it has a finite shelf life, a sell by date! it does not take long before the activities in sopron become noticed. emma is not inherently bad, she just can not control the need for fresh blood. eventually she explains her dilemma to her fiancée zoltan, another genetic researcher. the race is on, can they discover a serum to undo the vampire curse? i don’t think it would be fair to readers to reveal more of the plot. as an older reader i left with the feeling that this book lacked the finesse bram stoker’s classic 1897 horror novel dracula. but, the genre is not one that i have a great love for anyway, so i would not take my word for much. in fact my 18 year old step son and his girlfriend are huge fans of this genre, it will be interesting to get their feedback. almost certainly the young adult audience is the focus of emma gabor, and it may well work for her. from a technical standpoint i cannot fault the book. it has been well crafted, and great care taken in the editing phase. i suspect that emma gabor is going to become a name with a large following. it will be interesting to see what direction she takes next. the ya crowd is a large and influential group, and they are often willing to trade depth for action in a plot. i however think that if the author swaps action for depth in her next book, she will be well on the way to that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. predatoress is a clear example of emma gabor’s ability to write, she just needs to limit the sweeping plot-line in favor of developing her characters. 2 emma is a beautiful, privileged, pampered young lady who decides to play cupid for her friends, but finds that people don't fall in love according to plan. when jane austen created emma woodhouse, she did so with the belief that she was �going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.� as i read emma, this evaluation seemed pretty accurate. emma is a high-handed, overbearing, meddling, self-satisfied, snob of a young woman who dictates, or at least attempts to dictate, the lives of all her friends and family. who could like such a person, indeed. yet despite her flaws, or perhaps because of them, emma has become one of austen�s most beloved heroines. this said, i would not recommend emma to a newcomer to jane austen�s works. the language, being nearly 200 years old, is inevitably stilted and verbose in places, and the plot tends to drag at times. this is not to say that the novel is not well-written. emma sparkles with austen�s characteristic wit and charm, and many critics consider the work to be austen�s best. while i must admit that my own vote would be cast for pride and prejudice, i can still appreciate emma�s charm. in addition to emma, austen creates a wide array of memorable characters within the pages of this novel. she introduces readers to emma�s cautious, querulous father, who is nevertheless endearing. there are also the westons, emma�s dear friends who adore her, frank churchill, the charming but foolish son of mr. weston, and the beautiful and mysterious jane fairfax, as well as a host of others inhabiting highbury. austen�s famous wit and sense of irony are prevalent within the pages of emma. her examination of 19th century england�s complex and confounding social hierarchies and the interplay between the varying social classes is as adept here as in any of her works. the story centers on the theme of matchmaking. emma fancies herself to be quite gifted at playing cupid for her friends. naturally, her intricate schemes to pair everyone off fall through, and events spiral out of control. but through it all, emma is a lighthearted �comedy of manners,� and readers are never in doubt as to a happy ending for all. if you�re in search of that warm and fuzzy, happily-ever-after feeling, this novel will deliver.
