Me ha gustado mucho el estilo con el que está escrito, capítulos cortos y con un tono muy simpático sin llegar a cómico.

Review of 'Lo que más me gusta son los monstruos' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Aunque los dibujos están muy bien la historia no me ha enganchado. Una pena. La verdad es que he cuesta creer que tenga tan buena valoración, pero igual se me escapa algo...
Review of 'Comer sin miedo : mitos, falacias y mentiras sobre la alimentación en el siglo XXI' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Un libro muy ameno. Pero me parece que toma postura demasiado fácil a veces, si piensas parecido al autor te refuerzas pero si no... Es posible que las bromas/comentarios te alejen y pierdas las ganas de re-evaluar conceptos.
Review of 'Anger Management Workbook for Men' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Some good examples about why anger is not bad 'on it's own', it serves a purpose in life. It's a short and interesting book.

arpia49 reviewed Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke (Rama, #1)
Review of 'Rendezvous with Rama' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The first half of the book was extremely slow, to many details for a non English native. The second half picked up the pace but I still keep a feeling of 'wasn't enough'.
Maybe it's just not my kind of book and I need more charismatic characters.
arpia49 reviewed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (Ready Player One, #1)
Review of 'Ready Player One' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Nowadays I don't read as much, this is just my second book of the year, and this book was light enough to be finished quickly.
The history and characters are good but not great, not many surprises.
The last third has more action and really got me hooked.

I was expecting more for the book, I liked illustrations and some stories but others were way too long for me. I guess not every Valyrian King was as interesting as Aegon. Not every kingdom as interesting as the North.
But people with more patience will surely like this more than me.
arpia49 reviewed The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line (Veronica Mars #1) by Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars -- [1])
Review of 'The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line (Veronica Mars #1)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I was hoping it would be a mediocre story but it's quite good. Same old Veronica.
I am happy I read/heard it. There is no need to be a marshmallow for reading it but it will make it more enjoyable.

Review of 'Total war' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The last pages about the Soviet army taking the Reichstag and the ex-soldier commenting what was the worst for him just makes worthy all the reading.
Maybe the book is not for people that already knows a lot about WWII but it is a great book for new comers or people who want to know more from the Soviet side of the war.

Review of 'Solaris' on 'Goodreads'

There are some good stuff but, honestly, I can't stand the "scientific" bits. Too boring for me.
But all the human (or not human) relationships are good.
I've doubted between 3 or 4 stars.
