The idea of ‘Dexter in a X-file episode' really appealed to me. Sadly, it fell short of its potential.
This could have been a great book if only it had been written with a more mature audience in mind. Young teenagers will probably love it, though...
I read Senlin Ascends back in June and meant to leave a review then, but of course, life kept happening. There were more books to read and what was postponed ended up forgotten.
As I'm now finally starting book 2, I decided to take a few minutes to write down my thoughts about this brilliant book.
It's not often a book grabs me from the beginning and when they do, I usually have a fairly good idea of the type of story I'm reading and what to expect.
I was completely lost with this one.
Almost every theory and expectation I came up with was wrong. I must have spent the first half of Senlin Ascends alternating between moments of ‘oh, dear' and ‘what the f#ck?' talking to myself like a crazy person. I loved the weirdness and mystery of it all, the vivid descriptions and the beautiful prose.
Senlin Ascends is unlike anything I've read before and Senlin is such an endearing character, perfect for this story.
It's not easy to review this book without spoilers. In sum, Senlin Ascends is quite the intellectual and emotional adventure, filled with witty humour, bizarre characters and situations. I was almost sad when things finally started to make sense.
I'm looking forward to continue this series.
I didn't expect to enjoy Ready Player One half as much as I did.
The book is not without flaws. The endless lists and info dumps would definitely put me off had I been reading it. Fortunately, Wil Wheaton did an amazing job narrating the story and made even the most boring passages fun to listen to.
I recommend this book to every introvert and geek who never felt at home in the real world.
