Review: Ben Quiere a Anna

Ben Quiere a Anna by Peter Härtling

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Obviamente lo escogí por que el personaje principal tiene mi nombre, sin siquiera saber de que trataba el libro. Fue una grata sorpresa, un libro infantil, ligero y ameno, que retrata el primer amor de Ben quien pertenece a otra cultura y nivel o al menos así le dicen los adultos.

Review: Missy Tonight

Missy Tonight by Tom Lichtenberg

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I don't really know how I got this book, but what caught my attention was the atheist and sceptic tv show, because I really enjoy watching debates about creation vs evolution, life after death, theism vs atheism, etcetera.
Unfortunately this was addressed very little, instead somehow it became an absurd plot about two guys who want to work on TV and half way this pursuit meet an alien, wich was in my opinion unnecesary and irrelevant.

Review: The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

My rating: 1 of 5 stars



To use one of the countless phrases repeated over and over again in the book. "It killed me, it really did", of boredom and exasperation that is. Boredom because the story goes nowhere and exasperation not only because of Holden's attitude but the way it is written (the teenage like writting).
I really can't see why people like this book, it is so repetitive and with such a flat story, that even the ending is weak. I get that it is probably a very accurate description of the mind of a sociopath and a cynical teenager, but that doesn't make it any more interesting, at least not for me.
