Rating: 3.5 ⭐️ What I appreciate is that Lagercrantz kept the characters' personalities and overall behavior. However, sometimes I felt like the story was all over the place, and the pacing wasn't as the original trilogy. But I have to recognize this was a good story, and it made me curious about the next books.

This is one of those books where you can say “Yep, that's me” in every panel.

The story was kinda weird, but I enjoyed it. I liked the sense of humor, and the weirdness of it all.

Just when I think there won't be more poor twists, Jin Yong surprises me with more twists and characters I didn't see coming. I absolutely enjoyed this book. There are so many characters I like, and I'd love to read more about them. Seriously, I don't know how everything will end in just one book.

This was way better than the first book. I absolutely loved it!

This book doesn't entirely answer the question it raises, but it offers good information. I guess this field still needs more research, and maybe in a few years we'll be able to know more about the brain.

I'm amazed. This book was so good I don't even have words to describe it. If you're a fan of complicated mysteries, you'll probably love this book!

I've heard some awesome things about this book, and those good recommendations from people I know it's what drove me to buy this book. The writing is beautiful, and it's what kept me reading. I can't deny Rothfuss has a way with words. You can actually see how much effort he puts in every sentence. It's like he doesn't waste his words! However, the story itself had an odd pace. I was bored most of the book, but some scenes were so incredible I felt like I was in the story. But those moments were few so I can't say I enjoyed the whole book. In conclusion, I think this book is good, but not for me. I will read the next book (and the novella) just because I already purchased them.

This book has different layers of mystery. I admit it puzzled me when the plot took another direction, and I was kinda confused because I didn't see the point of it. However, in the end I realized it was a good move. If you want to start reading this book, I suggest you to be patient. The ending is satisfying, and it's definitely worth the read.

Entertaining, but not as complex as their other works.

I was always curious about this book, and I'm so mad at myself for not reading it before. This novel had a fast paced story with lots of stuff to think about, and a good dose of science, I mean, what else could I ask! However, what kept me from giving it 5 stars were those kids, specially Lex. That kid was extremely annoying, and I couldn't stand her in any chapter. If that was Crichton's goal with that character, congrats! He made one of the worst kids on literature! Without Lex, the story would have been perfect. She's such a brat I couldn't help but dislike her. Besides her, I think the book is awesome!

Yes, I liked THAT ending, but to me 80% of the book seemed like a soap opera, and I didn't quite enjoyed it. I still think it's worth a read, if you can get pass more than half of the book.

Un libro que te inspira y anima a seguir leyendo. Ha revivido mi interés por los clásicos y me ha ayudado a considerar la lectura como algo casi sagrado.

This book make me want to read the Pendergast novels.

It's my first Preston & Child book, and I have a feeling it won't be the last. It was entertaining, and kept me interested until the end.

I'm afraid I prefer Cixin Liu's full length novels over typhus short stories. Although I liked some stories, I didn't completely enjoyed they. Maybe if I read other stories I'll enjoy them more.

I haven't read The Lord of the Rings (yeah, shame on me), but I can confidently say this book is nothing like that series. Maybe the comparison is due to the large fan base and impact this book has. However, I can't see the epic fantasy elements here.

I have never heard of this series before, so my review is based solely on my first encounter with this series.

That said, I don't think this is a bad book. I see a lot of people complaining about the translation, but for being honest I didn't think it was too bad. I'm sure I missed some wordplays and puns, but I guess that can't be helped. Chinese and English have different structures so I can't expect every translation to be perfect.

So why the rating? The main character. I found him so frustrating sometimes, that I wanted to stop reading just to slap him on the face. Maybe he changes later on, but I don't know if it's worth to invest in a book I'm not very sure I'll like.

Despite all of my objections, I still found the book interesting. The culture and worldview were refreshing and different from everything I've read.

Rating: 4.5 ⭐️ This is not your typical mystery novel. It starts that way, but the second part changes and makes you think about life, death, family and human nature. I think it's worth a try, but you have to read it until the end to appreciate its true value.

I can see why Liu won awards with The Paper Menagerie. It was a fantastic story. It left me with a weird sensation I still cannot shake off. Liu truly shines with his short stories, now I want to see what he can do with full length novels.

4.5⭐️

Me encantó la forma de escribir de la autora. Es un libro que empecé sin expectativas, pero que al final me terminó gustando.

Murakami va a mi lista de autores que son difíciles de calificar. Es el primer libro que leo de este autor, y aunque me gustó, me dejó la sensación de que está incompleto. La historia es extraña, y tengo la impresión que hace falta una aclaración. De todas formas me causó intriga por los demás libros de Murakami.

Murakami writes odd stories, but I did enjoy this one. Not sure if his other books are quite interesting as this one, but I will read them eventually.

Había olvidado lo bueno que es este libro. Uno de los mejores de misterio que he leído.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It made me want to read more books by Ken Liu

I've officially finished reading all the Cosmere books published until now. I don't know what to do with my life...
