See allMore like 3 1/2. A lot of mixed feelings about this.
A few chapters that were incredibly exciting, followed by some of the most cringeworthy scenes ever. Snow's character development is a bit confusing. A few of his actions seemed like things he wouldn't do but were written to further the plot, what is a shame.
However, the romance in this made me yell to my boyfriend like I was a schoolgirl. JUST KISS HER, DAMMIT! And the whole hunger games kept me on edge. Well done.
This is the kind of book I'll remember for the rest of my life.
The way we, as a society, relate to death is present in everything we do. The fear of it. This book made me understand death better, both in a pratical way (what is the kindest way to deal with a loved one remains?) and a philosophical one. The way I grief will be incredibly different from now on.
I'm bumping this review up to 4 stars. Even though at the time of reading I felt like half of the things here would never be feasible outside of basecamp, months later I still find myself remembering something from this book every single day, no exaggeration. Everyone who works with digital products should read this.
Achei o começo meio morno, mas depois que me ambientei aos personagens ficou muito muito bom!!! Destaque pro ótimo uso da diversidade cultural de SP e da complexidade de fatores envolvidos em crimes.
A única coisa que me incomodou foi o uso de expressões que pareciam ser traduzidas diretamente do inglês, o que é estranho pra um livro brasileiro. Queria ter visto mais a forma de falar local.
