I am a big fan of history. It's hard to explain the 19000s, but i think this book did quite well

Honestly a strange book. It looks like London knew this would be his last book and decided to throw as many stories as possible. I'd say there are some good critiques on how society handles prisoners(the best part of the book), but everything else falls apart because the stories are not really connected thematically wise. Some were interesting but would have been better as a standalone. Really hated how many times the author said “i am not going to bother you with this” “i do not have time to explain this”. Like i get it's to make the book more realistic, but the stories deserved a better connection

I wasn't a big fan of this book, even tho i realize the themes it tries to enstablish

I am kind of shocked, to say the least. I didn't expected to like the book this much, but was King good writing this. It raises a lot of questions, if we truly have free will, and how much our emotions drive away us. Or how, we think following our heart is more important, because we think it's more moral, when that may not be the case. I think after Crime and Punishment, i think this is my 2nd favorite book of all time, for now

It's hard to describe this book without diving into spoilers. But i loved it

Humans are doomed to repeat themselves; that is our biggest sin, because we do not learn. Blood Meridian shows violence as a consistant part of human nature, set mostly in a dark, grey Texas of the 1800s. It tries to answer the question if we even deserve to live because of our acts, or rather, if we are meant to inherit violence, because that may be our only legacy. Or even if violence is right, because nature has shown that is the only part we act well; Judge Holden is the protagonist of these ideals, one of the most compalling characters i've seen, and one i think i'll think about for a long time. He represents devil himself, or rather, our evil side. He sorrounds himself with bad people, or leads them to that path. Thus, he is not a judge, but a walking contradiction of himself. He judges people based on their evil side, rather than being a true man of his own duty. I must admit, i was compelled by some of his arguments(not literally, off.), which gave the lecture a far more immersive experience thanks to the amazing prose. I was conflicted on the book while reading it, but it's one also where i have great thinkings about it, that's why i am giving it 5 stars

Heard so many stories of Terry Bratchett and how great the Discworld books were. Well, safe to say i wasn't disappointed. While i was struggling ti get the style at the start, i soon started to enjoy the book for what it was and i loved it! It's extremely funny, and even philosophical: sometimes we do not realize how important is to believe in stuff, and it's even more important to understand what we know of reality(and not reality even, you could say)and the expectations we draw from it. I can't wait to read the other Discworld novels

Will do a review later

I couldn't ejoy this book in all honestly. I loved the other Kafka works, but this felt so disconnected and less interesting than his other books.

I really enjoyed this as my first history book. It may be too soft on Lincoln in some things(like the fact he arrested tons of journalists and doesn't mention his policy on natives), but i abdolutely loved how it described the events of the American Civil War and how the events unfolded

It took me wayy too long to finish this book. Been having a hard time reading in the past months, but i think i am finally over it. This has little to do with this book, which is fantastic. I loved the way Dostoyeskivj explores the themes of morality, religion and especially retrospective. Each person might seem rude or evil by the way you look at them or based on their personalities, when in reality they have a good heart in them. This doesn't totally apply to the protagonist, Raskolnikov, which commits bad things in the book and even has some evil thoughts. But i think what's most beautiful about this book, is people can change; you don't have to forgive them, but at least they can try to be better with their lives, and try to have a better outlook at the meaning of life. It's honestly a really fascinating book.

Really cool

Depressing as sh**

4.5 stars
Amazing how much themes you can find in 9 pages

This a very strong book, i especially liked how it gives descriptions of pre-ww2 eras and what happened after the Civil War. There are fantastic family relationships portrayed in there, alongside the themes of religions, racism and prejudices. It has a strong prose and a fantastic deutaragonist,Atticus, which might be one of my new favorite characters, and i like how the main theme of evolving is showed through Scout, the protagonist. I hope to read it again in the future when older

Great book tbh. I could have finished it sooner but who cares i guess. Great messages all around

Loved this book. Sad i am in a reading slump but it was such a joy to read a beautiful and fast prhose. The world-building is simply fantastic. I guess the main issue of the book are the characters, but the themes overshadow them in a good way. Can't wait to continue this series

I had a reading slump so it took me way longer than usual to finish this book, but noneless this was an amazing experience and one of my new favorite books of all time. First act is great, introducing the world and how the society is controlled and it shows the various different aspects of everyone's lifes, which i loved. Second act is the weakest imo. Third act is the one of the best things i've read in my life and one of the most depressings.
So good

I don't have much to say about this book that hasn't been mentioned before: it's a great allegory of how terrible Totalitarianism is and how most people that want to change the system are the one who will get f* over because of other people that want to maintain the power and will use propaganda to their advantage.
Can't wait to read 1984

I will think about this book for a long time. The strong themes are what makes White Fang an emotional ride from start to finish. The middle act is kinda bad because it doesn't really go anywhere, but act1 and especially act3 are amazing; There are great contrasts of human nature, how our actions, even the small ones, can help someone lead into a better life, and that's what i think Jack London wanted to show with this book and Call of The Wind. 
The writing is stellar, before digging into White Fang we get povs from other people too, and shows how natural it feels to read into the mind of a dog-wolf.
Amazing experience

This book was so good and it made me so frustrated with humans(like if i didn't hate already humankind). London is terrific describing the nature and how a dog reacts; the writing rocks in this book. This book is a classic for a reason

The Little Prince is a book of immense value. This is a children's novella, but it's even better to read it at an older age. There are so many things in our life that we give more value than the others, because they give us more pride,power,money...yet, we should try to find something like the rose of The Little Prince: a small thing, yet full of heart and significance, because these are the emotions that help us moving forward

How far are you willing to go for the people you love? That's what this book is about, in my opinion. It's about the love of a man for a child, and doing his best to teach him to live in a world full of desperation and dead. Despite being a very depressing book, the novel is still full of hope. The child itself represents the future of humanity, which can be seen when he disagrees with the main character, showing that even in the deepest corners of life, there's always a light at the end; and that's what the child is for the protagonist, and the world.
Mccarthy prose is beautifully written: so many beautiful passages that remain stack in your head.
Masterpiece of a book and i can't wait to dive deep into the author's other books

How would i describe this book? Depressing. Depressing is the only word i can find when thinking of the ending, the characters and the consequences of all the stuff that happened in this trilogy. Twist after twist kept coming, one more surprising than the other, and one more frustrating than the other. Because this is what The First Law is about: the failure of humans when it comes to relationships and sense of honor, and how the nicest people are the ones, most of the time, to suffer the most.
Not only i am excited to continue upon into this world, but i can confidently say that this is one of my favorite piece of entertainment, and that LAOK is in my favorite fantasy book. Hell, i might change my mind in the future, but nothing takes away that this book is a goddamn masterpiece.

It's not probably a full 5 stars but i don't care, this book is amazing.
While the first book struggled with the plot, BTH fixes this issues with incredible storylines, despite a slow first part.
Glokta was the best part of this book alongside the north plot. The Bayaz's journey is the one that probably suffered the most from the pacing of the first part, but it takes up in the end. The characters remain amazing and same for the world building.
If i have to find a negative in this book,apart from the pacing of part 1, Romance were kinda forced and “non-natural” to me, but that's not a big issue
