I read by mood. Mostly sci-fi and fantasy, with self-help when I need to feel useful. Otherwise: building things, on a mountain bike, or learning a song on guitar.

The book was ok. Not quite the satisfying end I was looking forward to in the trilogy. It seemed like Scalzi took the easy way out finishing the book.

I really enjoyed The Secret of Secrets. It dives into the idea of consciousness in a way that keeps you thinking while still giving you that classic Dan Brown pace and suspense. The mix of science, mystery, and philosophy works well and kept me hooked.

It feels like what you’d expect from Dan Brown, in a good way. If you’ve liked his other books, you’ll like this one too. It’s smart, fun to read, and leaves you with a lot to think about after you finish.

They are strangely addictive and fun. Following the challenges of Carl and his ex's sentient cat through an 18-level dungeon that would prefer to have them dead.

I was really looking forward to reading this book, and I have to say I was disappointed. I believe it lost something in the translation. I felt several times I was watching a subtitled movie and they would occasionally use the wrong word. Or they would use a work too often.
