This book further expands on the dynamics of the fictional universe where Kovacs was born into; the story moves away from the typical noir cyberpunk setting to embrace a different but nonetheless compelling scifi style.

I really enjoyed this book. An hard-boiled, engaging story which aligns with the themes and the style of its genre, but succeeds at the same time in creating something really unique. Language is simple, straight to the point; explicit at times, but under no circumstances vulgar. A Dense, intricate plot, a crescendo of suspense.

This is prose writing at it's absolute best, and however distressing the content of the book may be , you can't fail to be impressed by the masterful use of English by this unbelievably gifted young woman. I went on to read Sylvia's journal, and at that point it became obvious that you can substitute the name Esther for Sylvia - they are one and the same. I've felt compelled to read much of the other prose and poetry she wrote in her tragically short life and can totally understand why she's regarded as one of the greatest writers of twentieth century literature.

As a Hemingway die-hard fun, I must say this is for me one his most successful works, alongside Fiesta and a Farewell to Arms. The author perfectly conveys the trauma, the spiritual mangling, the contradictions, the inebitable loss which a civil war, but also describes the lives of those who volunteered to sacrifice their life for the sake of an idea. The driving rhythm of his concise prose makes this book an engaging reading

One of the most inspirational books I've come across this year. I'm love with Sylvia Plath (began reading Ariel and other poems in the meantime). I can relate with this woman, her words helped me face and overcome a very difficult moment. A true pity we haven't the chance to see a more mature work of her. Yet, somebody would say 'Younger minds are not vessels to be filled but fires to be kindled' . In her short life, she undoubtedly managed to leave her mark.

This book considers the concept of "enchantment", the feeling of being connected to existence in an affirmative way, as an often overlooked feature of contemporary experience that can energize ethical and political life. It challenges the disenchantment of modernity thesis commonly accepted since Weber by locating new sources of enchantment in contemporary life without recourse to divine agencies.

I had been recommended this book by a neurologist resident and was looking forward to buying it given the very good reviews; a month later, by chance, one of my best friend presented me with a copy as a birthday present. Definitely going to read it in the next months
