Le quattro cose ultime

Wow, I'm so disappointed. I think I just wasted my time. How did this get so bad and so out of control? I had liked the first book, really liked it and I got into this hoping and wishing for a book that would blew me away... Instead, I got a bland, boring book.. I swear, by the end of the book nothin Leggi tutto

c2011. From Hero to zero - considering how much I enjoyed the first book. I did not find this to be "epic" which is how it is described by the publisher. By the author's own admission, this story contains "many acts of righteous larceny" culling, distorting and summarising some well known historical Leggi tutto

This had a very different feel to the first book in the series. I was more of a droll military fantasy. I liked it, but not as much as the first book. The plot lacked the humor and fast pace of the first book, but was still interesting enough. I enjoyed learning more of Bosco's plans for Cale and th Leggi tutto

Below quick thoughts as I was reading the book; as usual I will c/p the full FBC review in due course 4/16; Some 1/3-1/2 in the book and it is as crazily inventive and good as The Left Hand of God, with the same alternating of styles, tones and narrative modes; there is considerably more backstory an Leggi tutto

If anything, it was only marginally better than the first book. In other words, still completely horrible to read. The Last Four Things was a confusing mess of random turn of events, spurred on by the whims of characters who themselves don't know what they want to do. If the plot wasn't being predic Leggi tutto

This book is jammed packed with conspiracies, war strategies and battles. And although there were many actions scenes I loved and enjoyed, I felt like the story as a whole didn't progress much. It's like the end of this one could have started right where book one left off so this book felt a little

hanging on the three star border... I want to love the books in this series. I probably do a bit. So let me explain my rating... When reading the first book I fell in love with the main character. And the idea for the story? Wow. Very nice there Hoffman! But when I finished the first one I was left wi Leggi tutto

I was underwhelmed by The Left Hand of God, while I thought it had potential it was also flawed. The test was going to be whether the author built on the potential or not. Sadly, in The Last Four Things the flaws are much more evident in a rather difficult read where the author seems to have abandon Leggi tutto

Приключенията на Томас Кейл, Хенри Мъглата и Клайст продължават. Те са все така смъртоностни и очарователни. С вярата на "Обесения Изкупител" и отец Боско трудно може да се излезе на глава, но те ще трябва да се преборят някак. Цитат: "- Идрис-Пюк, вярваш ли в Бога? Идрис-Пюк дори не се замисли над о Leggi tutto

Ora portanto, resumindo o livro numa "palavra": nhe. Quando li A Mão Esquerda de Deus, ao início achei o livro um pouco parado e desinteressante. No entanto a partir mais ou menos das 100 pág a história começou a tornar-se interessante. Parecia que as coisas aconteciam com uma finalidade. Quando parti Leggi tutto
