Review: 11/22/63

11/22/63 by Stephen King

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



King es un excelente contador de historias, y este libro no es la excepción. Desgraciadamente la historia en sí no me pareció mantenerse del todo a lo largo de las más de 800 páginas.

Mi parte favorita es cuando Jake se encuentra en Derry y conoce a varios de los personajes de "IT", me hubiera gustado que se desarrollara más un poco eso, pero tal vez era pedir demasiado.

El final no me pareció convincente, sobre todo por la explicación de Mister Tarjeta "Amarilla?", creo que fue un poco forzada y simplista.

Es un libro entretenido, pero esperaba más del maestro del suspenso.

Review: A Feast for Crows

A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



So far this is the book I have liked the least from the fantastic saga "ASOIAF". Its a good book and George Martin's writing skills are still top-notch, but I was so eager to read about my favorite characters (Tyron, Daenerys, Jon ) and it wasn't until the last chapter where the author explains that this book is really half of a book, and this half is focused on kings landing only and that a dance with Dragons will be about other places and characters on the wall or the lands outside of westeros.
I have very high expectations for the next book, I just hope George Martin's thirst for blood won't kill those hopes.

Review: The Collector

The Collector by John Fowles

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is a fantastically well writen story, and got me on my toes all way through. That being said I hate how this book it made me feel, there is a reason I don´t usually read this kind of books, and that is, because when I read a book I want to enjoy it.

From the very begining I couldn't help to be very emotionally touched by this book, it made me feel sad, anxious, hateful, and why not to say it a little bit of revengeful and arouse my killer instinct.

All in all, I am happy I read it and that its all over.

Review: 201 Questions for Your ITIL Foundation Exam

201 Questions for Your ITIL Foundation Exam by John Forester

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This book is a really neat way to study for the exam, but it should not be the only source of information.

The format of the book is great, since you can decide when to see the answers.

I had my certification exam today, so I cannot say for sure that I passed, but I felt pretty confident.

Te book has some typos, but otherwise the questions and answers are clear and useful.

Review: A Storm of Swords

A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



So far this is the one I have liked the most, I found it simply awesome!! It is full of surprises, not only in the ending (which is really great) but through all the book.
I just have one complain with George R.R. Martin's book and saga, PLEASE sir, stop killing the nice characters!
