Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451 (Hardcover, 2012, Turtleback Books) 3 stars

Un inicio magnífico. Un final sin más.

3 stars

Una bella escritura, particularmente las primeras fases del libro. Una lectura muy visual que me atrapaba.

Ahora bien, se me deshizo el hechizo cuando la trama termina desarrollándose en algo demasiado... Reivindicativo y ¿"comercial"?

Como si el libro empezase escrito por pasión y a mitad cambiado para darle un punto más... De moda.

Aldous Huxley: Brave New World (Paperback, 1956, Modern Library) 4 stars

Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today …

A bit too "on-the-nose"

3 stars

I guess it might be the point of the book, but I couldn't feel that any character was real, everything felt stereotypical; while at the same time that "prediction" of the future does not seem plausible to me.

And I repeat, it might be the point of the book, so, if that is the case, then great job. I just did not enjoy it or gained any interesting insight.

Mary Shelley: Frankenstein (2021, Independently Published) 4 stars

Review of 'Frankenstein by Mary Shelley' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

3.75/5.

I seriously liked the first half. It definitely became a bit boring afterwards.

There are some very beautifully written segments, but there is also some character behavior that... maybe was normal 200 years ago, but definitely made me disconnect a bit from the story.

I will be reading the revised story, because I've heard great things about it and there is definitely a lot to learn from these.

Ángel Martín: Por si las voces vuelven (Paperback, 2021, Editorial Planeta) 4 stars

Review of 'Por si las voces vuelven' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Extremadamente recomendable. Unas buenas lecciones de vida entre risas y flipadas que sinceramente desconocía que alguien como él pudiera llegar a sentir, lo cual espero sirva también para no dejar pasar las alarmas insospechadas como falsas.

Consumido en formato audiolibro con la propia voz de Ángel Martín.
