The Beautiful Life

This book was nothing like the kind of books I normally read. It was good, but not amazing, not for me at least. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I gave it 3 stars… just plain 3. It was a good story, with lots of symbols I guess… but I’m at a stage where I like straightforward stories.. and this was not one of them. There might be spoilers ahead, so be warned. ** Spoilers ** This book talks about the life-long-story of Anthony Webster, Veronica Ford and Adrian Finn. Anthony or Tony, is the main character and the one’s point of view from where we see the story unfold, he had some friends at school and when a new very smart new student arrived to the class they turned their 3 man group in a 4 man group, the new addition was Adrian Finn. They all had very profound kind of talks, but Adrian was known to be the most mature of them all. Later in life when they were all off to college, they separated and Tony found a girlfriend, Veronica, with whom he dated some years and later fell out of love. But to his surprise, s...

This book, OMG this book!! I’ve been wanting to read this book ever since I read about it on Goodreads (I think it was GoodReads), basically it said the book was about an impossible heist attempted by a bunch of people that did not get along… it got me! I love group dinamics, complicated characters and relationships, I love action, I love fantasy, and it basically promissed all the the things I look for in a book!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This review will be a little shorter than the previous ones I’ve made, but it may contain spoilers so, be warned! ** Some Spoilers Ahead ** At the beginning of the book we’re introduced to a drug called jurda that helps workers, guards, etc, to endure while long shifts of work, but instead of the harmless one, we see people experimenting on grisha with an enhanced variation of the drug called jurda parem, which basically makes their powers more potent, much more potent, so it can only be used by them and not regular people. Apparently, the Six of Crows bo...

Ok, so I read this book in Spanish and the name was La sustancia del mal, which sort of translates to The substance of evil (or something along those lines…) and I have to say, I didn't get it (the Spanish title…), it was mentioned once, and still I didn't get it. At least the English title "Beneath the Mountain" is more identifiable in the story than the Spanish one but well, in the end it doesn’t matter very much. Starting off with this, I have to say that even though it was a very thrilling story in the end I didn’t like it very much… But, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it was a bad book! It was one of those stories that capture the reader and compels to continue reading until you actually know exactly what’s going on, which I believe is something good in a book! haha but the end (ugh… you’ll find out). On with it !! **** SPOILERS AHEAD**** The first (mmmmh) 3 or 4 pages are non-sence… you sort of understand them AFTER you finish the book (or at least have read...

Me gusta mucho leer, pero tristemente no es un habito al cual le dedique mucho de mi tiempo. Me gustan las historias, mas que textos inspiracionales, filosóficos o ilustrativos. Alguno de los libros que he leído, me gustaría enlistarlos a continuación con una pequeña opinión. No soy experta, pero me gusta dar mi punto de vista de las cosas. Yo creo que al día de hoy, mi historia favorita es la de Harry Potter, siempre he sido gran fanática de las historias fantásticas... y creo que Harry engloba mucho de lo que me encanta!! Entre los libros que he leído al día de hoy, en ningún orden en particular, están: 1. Mujercitas (este fue el primer libro que leí, por lo que es un poco especial!) 2. La saga de Harry Potter (7 libros) 3. La trilogía del Señor de los Anillos (3 libros) 4. La trilogía de los Juegos del Hambre (3 libros) 5. El Hobbit 6. El Principito 7. El Alquimista 8.
