Speedy compilation of instagram-style advices

Revisado: 01-19-20

I bought this book because of all praising in comments, and oh boy what a disappointment this was to listen to it. This seemed to be a quick compilation of Instagram-style advices and " popular " short articles on a subject (those called "7 ways to stop eating unhealthy" and full of "healthy grains" ads). When you want to binge, just go for a walk. Have a healthy grains for a breakfast. Try to deal with emotions other way than eating. Planning healthy life style is the same as succeeding in it! What a ridiculous jumping from one topic to another. This book was not that expensive, so I just consider it a complete waste of time.

Solid fantasy yet with new things mixed in

Revisado: 09-28-18

Nowadays it's pretty hard to find something new among fantasy realms. Most of authors vaguely copy J.R.R. Tolkien's or R. Salvatore settings, add some out-of-nowhere heros and villains (you can't get their motives while reading), than add a pinch of awkward dialogs, and start stamping one sequel after another.

Quite the opposite, Mr. Sanderson manages to invent new ideas while creating very solid and detailed world. Both readers did amazing job, their voices add so much to this great listen.

So catching and unusual, definitely must-read

Revisado: 07-06-16

Though not without a couple of genre cliches, it's an awesome read. I enjoyed it very much, good fantasy is such a rare thing nowadays. The narrator's performance enhanced it greatly. Third book to come is in my wish list.

Story is contrived, though performed great.

Revisado: 03-11-16

All the conflicts are contrived and weak, though performance is outstanding. Reminded me of a patchwork blanket. I wonder why it was rated so high.

So immensely Irish. So mesmerizing and vivid.

I've read this book at high school to feel myself modern and educated and I sort of struggled to the end. I must notice that proper narrator changes things dramatically. John Lee is the king amongst narrators indeed.

It looks like Mr. King writes the same book again

Revisado: 02-10-15

So if you read one of them, you probably find everything going on in other ones vaguely familiar. Though the story is pretty dynamic (though full of clichees) and is a good read while long rides or cooking.
