The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde. A …
It's a classic and it shows. I really enjoyed the critical parts. There are some very, very boring parts, tho. Maybe I didn't enjoy those as English isn't my first language, but I just had to do it for Oscar Wilde.
It was definitely great to read "the origin story" of a character I've mainly known from League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie.
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.
Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today …
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.
Impossible to not get motivated in your workout with such stories from the toughest dude alive.

A bunch of interesting ideas, but miles away from a great book.
La volveré a leer. 100 %. Es uno de esos libros. No diré nada más.
Un libro cortísimo que no necesita casi nada para atraparte. No considero que sea magistral, ya que al final tampoco puedes hacer tanto con tan pocas páginas, pero sin duda, para las pocas páginas que son... Es muy entretenido.
Auque sigo disfrutando muchísimo de los audiolibros de Jordi Boixaderas, esta segunda entrega se me ha hecho demasiado enrevesada.
Probablemente la disfrute más en unos años cuando regrese a esta saga.
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.
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.
3.5/5.
Escuchado como audiolibro. Está bien. No se le puede pedir mucho más a una historia como esta.
The Shadow of the Wind (Spanish: La sombra del viento) is a 2001 novel by …
Uno de esos libros que van despacio, pero están escritos con un trazo inolvidable. Marcados quedarán por siempre muchos de estos personajes en mi memoria.
Es una historia auténtica, y creo que apta para cualquier amante de la literatura.
Si tenéis la oportunidad, el audiolibro de Jordi Boixaderas será un acompañante magnífico en vuestros diarios viajes al trabajo.
Atrapa, aunque no deja de ser dolor, dolor y dolor; sin objetivo.

I was not impressed, but definitely entertained. Good writing, it made me feel things, definitely. But at the end of the day... that is it. Just a single-afternoon short story about an old man having a very rough couple days at work trying to gain back some respect from himself. I hope he is fine, now.
