Frankly in Love by David Yoon

There are some books I would never pick up if it weren' t for review purposes and Frankly in Love is one of therm. I bad heard of this book and seen it all over Goodreads.

Within the first few pages of this book, I was all in. I think part of what was so engaging is that it's from he viewpoint of Frank Li, a teen of high school.

Game of Stars by Sayantani Dasgupta

Just like any 12-year-old girl, Kiran is just tying to figure out who she is. Unlike other 12-year-old girls, however, she has to0 deal with titles like "princess and "demon slayer (魔鬼杀手)”. She happens to be a princess from the Kingdom Beyond, a world where gods and demons existed. Now it is up to her to save the kingdom and be the hero.

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

This is a remarkable book. The depth of the story went far beyond my expectations. The author paints a picture of Lincoln, a portrait (肖像) of strength, determination, and sacrifice in the face of personal and national disaster. Although some readers may find it rude to use a great leader of the United States in a fictional action book for entertainment, Grahame Smith tries to preserve an air of dignity and honor in the character of Lincoln.

A.A world in a teen's eye.

这是一篇说明文。《世界主义》的作家Jo Usmar列举了她最喜欢看的几本书。

【1】细节理解题。根据Frankly in Love by David Yoon部分的I think part of what was so engaging is that it's from he viewpoint of Frank Li, a teen of high school.可知，我认为如此吸引人的部分原因是Frank Li的第三人称视角，Frank Li是个十几岁的高中生。因此，Frankly in Love给读者展示的是十几岁的人眼中的世界。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据Game of Stars by Sayantani Dasgupta部分的可知，Game of Stars不涉及性话题。因此，如果你不想读与性有关的书，你会喜欢Game of Stars。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith部分的Although some readers may find it rude to use a great leader of the United States in a fictional action book for entertainment, Grahame Smith tries to preserve an air of dignity and honor in the character of Lincoln.可知，尽管一些读者认为，在一本虚构的动作书中，用美国的一位伟大的领袖来娱乐是粗鲁的，Grahame Smith还是试图保存林肯这个角色的尊严和荣誉。因此，Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter的特别之处在于，他与一位国家领袖有关。故选C。
