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

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

A bit too "on-the-nose"

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)

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

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)

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

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.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón: La sombra del viento (2004)

The Shadow of the Wind (Spanish: La sombra del viento) is a 2001 novel by …

Review of 'La sombra del viento' on 'Goodreads'

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.
