Lifelong learner and book lover from Brazil. Eternally suffering from tsundoku — the Japanese “art” of buying many more books than I'll ever be able to read. And I love it!

Daniel Santos's Most Popular Reviews

Surprising. It makes me think of Hunger Games, but instead of pure YA material, to me it has its unique qualities. Also, dystopian worlds always appeal to me. Read it very fast, and I feel like going forward to read the next book.

Acabo de ler "Brevidade inteligente", que vários dos meus gestores, amigos e colegas recomendaram.

POR QUE É IMPORTANTE: comunicação é uma arte, que eu julgava conhecer. "Brevidade Inteligente" me mostrou que existe um grande espaço para melhorar.

O QUE VEM POR AÍ: com tantas dicas valiosas, estou animado para melhorar minha comunicação no dia-a-dia.

Conn Iggulden me fez passear pela história da Inglaterra pela terceira vez, já que este é o terceiro volume da saga da Guerra das Rosas. Livro leve de ler, apesar da grande quantidade de nomes — e títulos das personagens, vale a pena pela amarração, e sempre pela seção final existente em cada livro, chamada "Notas Históricas", onde o autor explica onde ajustou ou avançou a história frente aos acontecimentos reais. Recomendo.

The Crimson Skew wraps the Mapmakers trilogy with excellence, and makes you feel like not dropping the book. Amazing. I hope the author gifts us with new adventures of Sophia and her gang in the future.

I ran into "Dark Mode", by Ashley Kalagian Blunt, as a product of pure happenstance. This Australian writer is known as "the Queen of Tech Noir" in her country, for not limiting this lit genre to distant, future, robot-ridden dystopian scenarios, but instead bringing it into daily life, something anyone is subject to, through our smartphones and the dark web.

As a result, the book was not only unputdownable, but also my fastest read to date this year, and our Blunt into my row of writers I will definitely read again. Recommended.
