Saddest day of my life

Revisado: 03-05-20

When I was six years old my dying father told me he wishes he could share a last ice cream with me. My mother stricken with grief and working 2 jobs to keep us three boys alive had little patience for such indulgences. So I did chores for the neighbors; mowing lawns and sweeping drive ways. Finally I saved up enough to buy two choc chip soft serves ice-creams and walked back home. Just as I entered our yard our dog darted closer and knocked me off my feet, sending the ice creams flying. Crying with a broken heart I walked into the house barely managing the utter the words to my father that we won't have that last moment together.

That will still not as heart breaking as finishing this book series.

One of the greatest epic fantasies of all time

Revisado: 03-05-20

Make sure you have food in the fridge and water to keep you alive because when you start this journey you will not stop.
The characters and journey sets the reader on a journey that you will always remember. If you have not read this you are the envy of millions that wish they could go on the mistborn journey the way they did the first time.

A great story behind great men.

Revisado: 03-05-20

A fantastic story behind men that defined a new era in behavioral economics. Don;t expect many life lessons though, the books is a historic account, but delivered very well.

Epic Gladwell

Revisado: 03-05-20

Out of MG's latest books I would say this is the most topical and relevant. The ideas and discussions feel completely applicable to the challenges captured in the current social collective conversations. The book will definitely shape your views for a long time to come,

Great potential but somewhat gimmicky

Revisado: 03-05-20

Some great ideas that could be effectively boiled down to a few paragraphs stretched over a book that feel somewhat tedious at times.
Worth the listen as some ideas definitely get stuck in the conscious mind as a lens for future evaluation, just make sure you have patience to wade through a minutia of over-explanation.

Another Branderson Classic!

Revisado: 03-05-20

Fresh feel to a Branderson classic. The characters are so real, even though set in a deep sci-fi story line. The introduction in Skyward explodes into a fantastical narrative that transports the characters and reader to new realms, taking all on a truly emotional journey that keeps the nerds in us guessing what will be around the next corner!

Good but buildup is slow

Revisado: 08-25-17

Story starts well but the journey feels overly tedious until the final act, where character development only really starts. But the ending does deliver.

Surprisingly good!

Revisado: 08-11-17

Not as 'epic' ;) as Sanderson's Mistborn but a great tale, characters with real depth and almost tangible emotions.

Great narrative but needs more

Revisado: 03-29-17

Great story but seems like its leaving a lot for the follow up books. Never quite gets to a point
