I know it's based on the movie, and not the other way around, but the movie is somehow more whimsical and shows more the friendship between the Dead Poets, specially Neil and Todd. The whole academia vibes of the movie isn't present in the book and those are the only reasons it's not a 5-stars. Love the message and it'll stick with me for life

It's weird to read this 1994 book in the current state of the world. It's about something so absurd that it could easily happen.
It felt like it went nowhere, specially the romance the MC wrote. Still, it's reflective on the inportance of memories and on how weird authoritive regimes are,

After reading The Poppy Wars trilogy and Babel, this doesn't feel like a Rebecca F Kuang book. The premise is interesting and the denial from the MC is astonishing, but it feels like it explores too much the same feelings and questions. Also, the only thing that kept me going after só much white victimisation all through the book is the fact that I already knew the author.

A solid 4,5
It didn't change my life but it was an absolutely beautiful book that reflects on the different ways to love and create a family. Every love is different but not unimportant. There are several kinds of soulmates and a family has just to make sense to the ones building it.
Simply beautiful

Many treasons, war tactics and strategy. It was waay less graphic when it comes to sexual violance, which is appreciated, but it still represents well the horrors of a war. I found it easier to read than the first one, but I also feel betrayed with the last chapters.

The first half felt like a cool mix of Kong Fu Panda and Mulan. It reflected on subjects like war orphans, the “meritocracy” for poor and rural people, and the effects of war on a country. When you reach the 300th page, the descriptions get so graphic and violent that i needed to take a break, specially because, excluding the magic, you just know that the animalistic acts really happen in real life.
After this part, the book focuses only on the revenge of the Speerlys and doesn't develop much more. Maybe the next book will help my curiosity.
Overall, was a good read

It's funny the first 50 Pages, I laughed about the concept and it does help understanding some basis of philosophy. However, it doesnt need that much analysis and deep dive
