cdm reviewed The Saga of Witcher
Hard in the beginning, addicting in the middle
4 stars
- The main storyline of the Witcher, but not all books are included in that collection
- Some things were familiar because I played some of the Witcher games and watched the TV Series
- Was hard to read at the beginning especially while travelling in trains but silently at home in the bed it was way better
- From the middle of the Saga onwards, I got addicted and couldn't stop reading
- In The Lady of the Lake Ciri travels into the world of Merlin and King Arthur
- It is a really good collection of books
- I think the last book "Lady of the Lake" is my favourite

cdm reviewed Dove by Robin L. Graham
One of the best sailing books
5 stars
- In 1965, 16-year-old Robin Lee Graham began a solo around-the-world voyage from San Pedro, California, in a 24-foot sloop. Five years and 33,000 miles later, he returned to home port with a wife and daughter and enough extraordinary experiences to fill this bestselling book, Dove.
- The beginning of the book starts with his sailing adventures with his dad
- This also explains why it was possible for him to do that with such a young age: His dad supported him and already took him sailing when he was just a small kid
- He also got support from the National Geographic which reported about his travels and not only paid him but also supported him on his journey
- Some parts (maybe even most) of the book are more written like a Journal. So it is not like a novel, but more like I read someone else's diary. …

- I don't think it can be taken too much as an inspiration for today's world
- He was very young and back then not many people sailed around the world
- Nowadays, there are a ton of YouTubers who sail around the world, some are very near to the age he had
- He got the support from his dad and National Geographic, I don't think it would be easy to get this kind of support in today's world
- I like his story. It is especially fascinating to read for sailing addicted people like me
cdm started reading The Mueller Report by The Washington Post
cdm reviewed Facebook - Weltmacht am Abgrund
Very Detailed
4 stars
- Steven Levy basically reported about Facebook since the early beginning, he knows Mark Zuckerberg personally and met him multiple times for this book together with other people who worked on Facebook
- He doesn't just write about Facebook, as you might think when reading the title, actually some parts are more like a Biography of Mark Zuckerberg. He even goes into details how Mark's parents met - all this reminds me more of the Biographies about Steve Jobs and Elon Musk I read.
- He really describes the history and architecture of Facebook well
- It gives a lot of details about the strategies Facebook used or still uses

The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
5 stars
- The Hobbit is a bit short
- Lord of the Rings has some Chapters - especially the fights - which are hard to read
Other than that, I don't have any complaints, and it's one of my favorite series
