Terence Allen terenceallenkolstad — How to Lie with Statistics, by Darrell Huff - 1 and ½ stars; a short, technical book describing how very easily one can be misled with statistics. While some excellent points are made, the writing style from the 1950s was dated, and the "example after example" format became tedious. Probably was a useful read, though. Obviously, to be read for profit, not pleasure. Carl Sagan would’ve appreciated the "healthy skepticism" the book helps developing.

Mónica Bayona hardcandy07 — It is a strongly political story. Two countries are on the verge of war. Two princesses are fated to save the smaller one from the monstrous one. The oldest is pledged to marry the God King of Hallandren. Their father sends the youngest instead. It turns out to be the right choice, but the older sister is determined to save her younger sister from the King, stealthily from within the city. I highly recommend the story. I like the Breath of life, because breath is life-giving, and it does enhance the strength and perception with greater cultivation of oxygen flow. In our lives it can be enhanced naturally (through things like yoga and breathing exercises). So I thought it was a cool “magic” to use. There are some moral questions regarding the use of extra breaths in the story. There are still flaws, but the strengths easily outweigh them. It can be a little hard to take a book seriously when it prominently features princesses whose hair changes color depending on their moods, but the book actually manages to make a silly effect into a genuine weakness. Some of the plot outcomes are predictable, especially for readers familiar with Sanderson’s love of tying everything together in the end, but other twists are truly shocking, particularly once the comic relief is cut off during the last third of the book. The constant tension eventually starts to wear, but the developing drama is compelling. One of the great things about the book is the huge number of twists to the plot. Plot twists and character twists and seemingly small parts waiting for their time in the spotlight. Most impressive in a genre dominated by series that drag on as long as people keep shelling out for the books: Sanderson knows how to wrap things up cleanly. He spins a world that’s easily complex and mysterious enough to warrant sequels, but prefers to end it climactically, answering many of his biggest questions, while leaving others to the imagination.

Gorshenin Stanislav handfighter — Esta é uma história que nos mostra que muitas vezes utilizamos a palavra Amor para descrever todo o tipo de sentimentos e muitas vezes não vemos realmente o Amor no nosso dia a dia. Quando iniciei a leitura fiquei um pouco de pé atrás com a situação da "encomenda"... Não vou entrar em detalhes para não estragar a surpresa a quem o quer ler ;) Passada essa fase foram surpresas atrás de surpresas que fizeram com que aquele pequeno incidente da encomenda fosse completamente posto de parte. Este livro mostra-nos que o Amor está nas pequenas coisas, o Verdadeiro Amor passa muitas vezes por pequenos pormenores da vida aos quais muitas vezes não damos qualquer importância, pois nem sequer nos apercebemos deles, como é o caso deste: "... - És tu que me vais dar lições de Amor? Anthony olhou para a filha atentamente e aproximou a sua poltrona. - Recordas-te do que faziam quase todas as noites quando eras criança, enfim, até adormeceres? - Lia debaixo dos lençois com uma lanterna. - Porque não acendias a luz do quarto? - Para que tu acreditasses que eu já estava a dormir, mas na realidade lia às escondidas... - Nunca perguntaste a ti mesma se a lanterna era mágica? - Não, porquê, devia tê-lo feito? - Apagou-se alguma vez durante todos essas anos? - Não - respondeu Julia perturbada. - Todavia nunca lhe mudaste as pilhas..." Julia descobre o que realmente é o Amor e que ele pode sobreviver a tudo, até à própria morte. Não deixem de ler este livro, pois tal como é hábito nos livros deste autor, tem uma bela Lição de Vida.

Macabre Disguise macabredisfac7 — The book was quite steeped in science laced with philosophy. I think it was a similar style in which the earlier scientists must have approached mystries. I found the book very refreshing at times and tough going at other times, especially when the author delved into abstruse scientific details.

Ferny Salazar _erny_alazar — One of the only books I read for pleasure.

Caner Pınarbaşı kessaf2 — Wonderful historical fiction. So well written, the main character is atypical, very well portrayed... Her relationships with the other characters all complicated, real. Seductive story. So interesting, it must be true. I want to read more by this author.

Ramon Lenherr ramonlenherr — Maria Irene Fornes plays with language and form, creating contemporary plays that talk about things like nuclear war, class strife and the struggle for power between the sexes, but are never preachy or heavy handed. Her first language is Spanish, but she writes in English, creating stark, haunting dialogue. Each play is a little bit funny and a little bit scary. Mud is my favorite.
