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.

ouch6854 reviewed Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
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.

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.

Review of 'La sombra del viento' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
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.

ouch6854 reviewed The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway (Scribner classics)
Review of 'The Old Man and the Sea' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
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.
ouch6854 reviewed Una corte de llamas plateadas by Sarah J. Maas (Una corte de rosas y espinas, #4)
Review of 'Una corte de llamas plateadas' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Entretenida novela que, aunque me divirtió en muchos de sus giros, falla (al menos para mí) estrepitosamente en uno de ellos y me deja con un sabor amargo en la boca.
Aún así, creo que fue una digna historia para este re-arranque con la lectura que estoy realizando en mi vida.
ouch6854 reviewed Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
Review of "Man's Search for Meaning" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Combinando vivencias con análisis médico, este libro deja huella en todo aquel que lo lea. Lecciones, una tras otra, que te maravillan y asustan al mismo tiempo, y que espero que causen las mejores reflexiones en las mentes de toda persona digna.

Maybe I'll feel different at another point in my life, but I simply cannot recommend this book right now.
I had to go to third party sources to understand the whole thing due to its chaotic writing, and even after all that... turns out there was no story to follow, really.
I could certainly enjoy some descriptions, but it was overall a lot of effort to not prefer doing something else.
It was also the first book I read in a while so hopefully I'll come back in 20 years and find out how wrong I was.
