So this is a peranell novel to Oryx and Crake, and I am stil struggeling if I want that or not. In some ways I liked Jimmy, I wanted this book to also be about him and be around him more than what it actually was. I enjoyed the storyline in general. I did fall out and feel less connected with the whole way it was written ths time.
I mean I am not sure what else to write, in general I enjoyed it but unlike the first book tjis did not feel revelutionery to me. It felt at times that it did not have enought details. The storyline did not have enough depth and I wish I gotten just MORE, I was simply not obessed with this book.
Well this book was quite an enjoyable and relaxing break from other books I have read recently.
I found the storyline to hold some ground and it was entertaining. I may not be the main audience for this book but Inwould recommended my sister, or cousin to be reading it.
It was filled with both important messages and an interesting storyline. The main caracther had enough depth but also not deep so a younger brain can follow along.
The author did not get stuck on small details but rather let the challenges and personal problems the protagonist had just be there.
It was an enjoyable book that I recommend for others to read aswell
Well I am not even sure what to say or write of this book.
In some ways I loved it, ok actually most of it I loved.
The writing was easy to folow along. It had enough detail that I felt intrested and invested in what was happening.
It had some small little romace and really cute and cuddely moments.
yes there is a murder, yes it is a thriller. But somehow it happened in a way that made me feel all cuddly under a blanket.
And that, somehow is the only problem for me, the fact that somehow they make murder be posetive.
Hmmm
I am not really super sure what or how to even say what I feel.
The book was not directly bad, not at all in fact. It was just, chaos?
At times I was not really sure what I was even reading, in some ways this was and is a good thing. I needed to see and understand what was even happening.
In terms of writing there was not much complicated words, the sentence structure was overall simple and easy to understand. The balance between disribing and showing vs telling was great. I felt like the book floated along more than start and stop. Like some other books tends to be.
The caracthers were overall to my liking, I found them funny yet serious. They did not distrub the storyline and was really there to help. Sometimes books feel like the plot and the caracthers are two diffrent things, this did not feel like it.
It was truly one and the swme thing.
The idea of the story was to my liking, I am not sure I liked the way it was done too well so it does not get the top ratings for me.
I quite liked this book alot honestly. The length of the chapters were a little bit on the shorter side but for this situation that was perfectly alright. The writing style was easy to follow with not many complicated words.
In this case that might also have a tiny small downside as the subject is kinda heavy. It is about a boy that is talking and living his life at a phych ward and his experience with mental illness. When the writing gets to easy the severity of the subjcet tends to often get a little lost along the way. i personally did not feel that it was a huge problem with this book but some people might expereince that the severity is not properly showed.
The book did manged to keep almost some kinda of lught spirit about itself. They talk about how they plan their future, their experince with diffrent medication but tyen afterwards tear them all up as looking at plans stresses the main caracther out. It is serious and we can see and understand that this is problem the mc is struggeling with while it still being kept light enough that we can follow along.
I did overall relly enjoy this book and recemedn it to other people that want an easier read while still being about an heavier subject
This is horror kind story about a girl that builds and makes her own boyfriend. The main caracther in her dating options and honestly have a very spesifc kind of person that she wants to be with.
This book is deffently not something I would recomend everyone to read. It is diffrent for sure and also somewhat diffrent. It is nice to see that not everyone is dependent on their past sucsess to get them going in their career. I do however feel like she is maybe slightly a little dependent on it. Not alot tho, just the discriptions and setting we are placed in may not be as deveopmed as I would like.
I really enjoy the storyline and how the lifelessons are taught to the carathers. I like consept of the match being intrested in his own past and not just stupidly in love with the main caracther. I enjoy that the love intrst also has such a big part of the story.
The caracters and detailed and properly written.
I did not really like Angelika in the start as she was just a brat and felt super entiled. And I hate that when the main caracther or somone that are there alot are entiled. It does get better and Will helps her get better and be less of a brat. It did however bring it slightly down, if not alot.
I am honestly super strict with ratings and this was not perfect so.
Well this book is really somewhat hard to write a properly worded rewiev about. I mean there is just so many thoughts. I can start with the basic stuff.
The therapist, OMG how much I just dislike this therapist. It is just the most horrible and annoying thing ever. How she just does not seem to understand jack shot.I mean she does but it almost seems like she is just totally incompetant in everything she does.
The main caracther I do kinda like. I enjoy her general vibe. She seems relateble and I can easily understand why she does alot of the stuff she does. I am not a fan of how she seems to just be so god damn lazy and just plain out lie her way out of situations. I understand she is struggeling and stuff but the book seems to make it that being ill is an exuse for being a total dick. There is always some sort of understanding but at times this book crosses that line and well so that.
I have to say that leaving the main caracther unamed does give the effect that we can add it almost to everyone we know. It does it give it some sort of effect that makes it feel closer.
In general I did not like this book a lot but it also was not horrble.
Well this was a reread for me. I am not sure if I liked it as much this time as I did the last but let me try to word it a little together as to why.
I mean dont get me wrong it is a good book. I really enjoy the whole consept of a cirus that operates at night. Where the entire consept is LITTARY magic and they are somehwat trying to hide it a little to seem like mechanics and trick to make it more belivinble for the general audience. I like the entire idea and consept of the competition.I was still a little bummed when they said and relaved that somone had to die in order for there to be a winner of the contest I mean it just made me kinda sad and ye I dont know.
In terms of the romece of the book I liked how little space it takes. The main storyline was never their love. It is really about the challange that Marco and Celia have between each other, it is about the circus and stuff happening there. It is about how it growns and changes and just how amazig it is.
In terms of writing I find it both straight forward and enchanting. It is really straight forward in the style without just telling you stuff. It allows you to imgaian properly how things look or came to be without it being too complicated and long. This also may be due to the fact that many of us are fammiliar with what a circus is and the general things that are being disribed is mainly a extended and more magical version of what we already know.
I can not comment anything about the historical aspect of it all. I am not an historian and honestly kow nothing about what or how it is supose to be. So just..... Neutral?
I know I have not mentioned anything bad about it yet. Caus in some ways there was not? I just was not super exited to read it?
I am honestly not sure what or how to properly word my feelings.
This was a real cozy and pleasureble read for me. I went that when I read this book I was sitting down and relaxing. The writing was not overly complicated and I understood what was haping. I liked that the stories were seperated but they also connected so much.
In earlier experience I have felt like the stories are so long and kinda have so many small details that I do not need in shortstories collections. For me this was not a problem while reading this. I felt honestly I was just sitting down and relaxig and enjoying a good and relaxing book with a small presentage of confusion.
The stories were all long enough to make you feel you were not left out of anything but short enough that I did not want to rip out somone troath so the story continoues along.
I also really enjoyed the whole idea of this timetraveling. It is simple in the idea and does not complicate the storyline too much. It is short and just as a small litte experince. I alomost felt like it is just like when you have a cup of coffe (or tea for my taste) and you start daydreaming. But in that daydreaming you get lost and suddenly you have bad time and need to drink as fast as you can and get along.
And I feel that the consept where the timetraveling is only while the coffe is worm (so not a long time) can in some ways be the same. So on the same topic the ghost, is somone that got lost in the daydream. And so is not anymore connected with the real world and lost all that mattered in the present.
Anyways I just felt it was a good and relaxing book, so overall I really enjoyed reading it.
