This book was wonderful in so many horrible ways. I love it greatly and it gave me great interspect to the world as we know it and how oppressive regimes work. I greatly enjoyed the travel i did with the characters from the start to the finnish. Thanks alot for this book! I really loved it and I reccomend it greatly.

The book was a very fun read, it was quite simple but made me laugh and think at several points. I am definetely interested in reading the rest of the series and i reccomend the book to anyone interested in comedic sci fi.

This book was interesting yet impactful, It described many things both good and bad that happen to us humans, these things we often cant describe through words very well but by following Charlie we get to see the world through his (what i interperated as) autistic eyes which sheds new light on these concepts.
It respectfully tackles controversial topics such as rape, homosexuality and narcotics. This book was an experience and it is definitely a book I reccomend.
Overall I think this book was really great, Id reccomend it to anyone who likes books about the human experience or seeing the world through a new lense.

This book was an incredible read. The story was tense and quite tragic, the book managed to really make you feel the hopelessness the main character is feeling. For me the best part of reading this book was defnitely that it helped me greatly expand my ideas of how our current soceity functions. It is a great piece of socialcriticism.
To sum it up i love this book and while the story necisarily isnt the best, what the story contains is great and something anyone whos critical of the current soceity should read.

Wow, what an incredible book. Despite it being a large 500 page book I never found myself bored. The plot was very densly packed with tense archs.
The book felt incredibly real and it is obvious the author did his research on the physics behind space.
The book managed to be informative, comedical, tense and emotional. Now while the book isn't very focused on the emptionel it still managed to effectively make you love the characters and feel large anxiety for them during the many obstacles in their journey.
The book manages to give you a very interesting new perspective on human society aswell as the concept of intelligence.
I recommend this book to anyone who's into tense books especially if you like space or getting new perspectives on advanced topics.

This book was pretty good. However to be frank I do not reccomend it. The first half of the book is very slow and according to me quite boring. Afterwards it picks up and gets really interesting, I loved the build up until the ending. However the ending felt very childish and typical. It had twists upon twists and i do like myself a good twist but the way the book stacked twists upon twists just made it feel like a childrens interpetation of a thriller.
Again it wasnt that bad, i enjoyed the build up until ending part but other than that it was very mediocre and for that reason i only reccomend it if you want a quick and dirty thriller and you enjoy twists upon twists.

This book was one of the greatest books Ive read. It explored a very interesting alternative past were dinosaurs and ants collaborated to become a devloped civilazation. The book is written in a interesting manor where the writer changes between writing factually(about fictional themes) to telling stories within time periods of this tale.
The book also manages to very effectively parody human soceity, I found myself reflecting quite alot about the "parody parts". Now it does lack the emotioanl bit of many books but in this case i do not really think its a weakness just somethijng the book wanst made to represent.
To me this is quite close to a perfect book within its genre, it has a captivating story, an incredible world building and social commentry.
I reccomend this book if youre feeling for something in scifi, something about alternative history or just something fresh and new to experience.
I do not reccomend the book if you want something focused on human relations and emotions.

This was defintetly and interesting read. This is the first manga ive ever read based of reccomendations from friends. I found it quite interesting and i found the art and pacing for the fight scenes very exciting. Alltough i do not think there was much chracter devlopment.
It was a good read and it would be very good if all you wanted was some action. I would like to add that this book has alot of fan service. It was quite annoying since i like reading my books in public but i cant because half the pages are covered by puck's butt.
I reccomend the book if you want a action packed adventure and is okay with some involuntary fan service.

A very interesting novell. It effectively parodies the soviet union and shows how a revolution from the people can go very south very quickly.
Like the soviet union, the animals successful revolution starts out great for the people. But in the end it was worse than it had have been before the revolution(but very good for the pigs at the hierarchical top). This book shows this very well.
I reccomend this book if youre feeling for a dark political parody or want something that makes you think a bit more than your average book.

This book created a large amount of wonder within me. I do find science very interesting so naturally reading about the origins of physics and where it is at the moment was incredibly interesting.
The book was at times very complex and for that reason i hope to reread this book sometime in the future. Despite this the larger parts of the book are comprehensible. To enjoy the book you need to accept that you wont understand it all and instead enjoy aswell as reflect over the parts you do get.
At times the book feels sluggish but for the most part the book was excellent at keeping me engaged and interested. Hawkins humour which was admittadly very dry made me chuckle at several moments and i very much appreciate his "interferances" throughout the book.
I reccomend this book to people who want an effective passage through the basics of physics which still leaves room for wonder and lets you get a taste of the more advanced topics if you were to continue your studies.
