As a biography, this book is excellent, however I did not like the narration and I found it terribly slow in parts. However, the story is shocking and with good content.

I have to confess that at first I didn't feel very attracted to this book, but as I was reading, reading completely caught me and it took my breath until the last page. It is a very moving story that shows God's love for humanity. This story leaves you thinking and meditating on what true love is from God's perspective.

Reseña completa

Estos libros se han convertido en clásicos, y con justa razón hicieron que Frank Peretti sea llamado el “rey de este género”.

If you want to understand what love means: read this book. I'd read another reviews and some people said so many bad things about it but other loved it! So, my recomendation is: read and then judge. Personally, this book made me cry because I noticed that we don't know what is love about.

Cuando comencé a leer este libro, parecía prometer mucha información y el periodista dijo que pensaba sacar otros libros más y hasta ahora no lo ha hecho. Sé que la investigación toma su tiempo pero en este libro habían mas preguntas que respuestas. Ojalá que saquen pronto el segundo libro, para así conocer todos los detalles de ese caso.

This book reminds me a little of “The Purloined Letter” by Edgar Allan Poe. But Conan Doyle focuses on the same problem in a different way and that makes the story unique. Besides the character of Irene Adler is (apart from Professor Moriarty) equals the only intelligence to Sherlock Holmes. It's a great story set in Victorian London.

This book surprised me with its narrative in present continuous. I felt a little lost at the beginning and the story seemed the story did not have a good hook, but as I continued, I found interesting. However, I'm not really sure if I want to read all the series. Nevertheless, I recommend it as quick reading.

This book made me feel dizzy by the number of twists in the plot. It was an obsessive reading and it didn't let me stop reading. I loved the characters and the ending left me with a bittersweet taste because I think it has to be written “Skin: The Second Part”

SINOPSIS: Siglo XVII. Mientras Felipe III agoniza en su lecho, el hombre más ambicioso y poderoso del reino, el conde duque de Olivares, consuela al débil sucesor a la corona, Felipe IV, príncipe de Asturias, con una única intención: dominar su frágil voluntad para hacerse con el poder. Entre tanto, en la villa y corte de Madrid la decadencia del gran imperio español afecta por igual al clero, la nobleza y el pueblo. La moral y las buenas costumbres que desde los tiempos de los Reyes Católicos imperaban se diluyen inexorablemente. A diario se libran riñas, violan conventos, pergeñan embustes y saquean iglesias. Cataluña, Portugal, Navarra y Andalucía amenazan con independizarse. Cuanto más crece el poder del valido del rey, más aumenta el miedo a enfrentarse a él. Sólo seis mujeres sueñan con la venganza. Y cada una tiene su propio motivo: el deshonor moverá a Ana de Guervara, el asesinato de su marido, a doña Inés de Vargas, la ruina, a la duquesa del Infantado, el rapto de un hijo recién nacido, a la Calderona, y la lealtad hacia un rey demasiado débil, a la reina Isabel y a sor María Inés de Ágreda. Esto las impulsará a unirse en un fin común: destruir al tirano.

Como dice la sinopsis, todo se centra en la conspiración para asesinar al duque de Olivares. Si bien las protagonistas planean el asesinato, nunca llegan a concretarlo y el duque muere por otras razones. Ésa es la razón por la cual el libro pierde interés. Está narrado en primera persona y pese a ello, es muy fácil de leer (aunque uno pierde el interés en ciertas partes), pero no tiene tanto misterio como se espera. Además, le da mayor importancia a otros acontecimientos y se desvía del eje de la novela.

I don't know if it's just my perception but most characters of the books of John Katzenbach are old people, but I think this factor makes the book that much more interesting and gives character to the story itself. Besides being a history of persecution type “game of cat and mouse”, is quite philosophical and has very deep thoughts. An excellent book to all mystery lovers should read.

My favourite book of Homer!

I know many people like this book and I don't want to be disrespectful but I HATE this book. I forced myself to finish reading the book because it was boring, boring and boring. The only thing that I liked about it was some quotes and nothing else. If you like books written in first person, with many internal monologues and lots of history, I recommend this book. And if not, don't read this.

Well, It's not my kind of book. I didn't like it at all. For me, it was boring since the beginning..

It's a very deep book about art, immortality and other topics that are more interesting. While dialogues are quite extensive, they aren't boring, but provide much useful information and interesting at the same time. This book is a classic that everyone should read.

This book is about decisions, politics and relationship with God. It's a funny novel and easy to read. There are a lot of stuffs that make you think about your own life and I think that it's a kind of book of reflexions more than a novel.

There are some redeemable aspects about this book. I liked the fact that the main character and his opponent were almost equal and that their motivations were different. However, I hated the sexual descriptions. I found them vulgar and distasteful. However, I found interesting the book's plot.

I would like to continue with the story of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. This book has left me with strange feelings because the ending was abrupt and it is obvious that the author was planing to write more books of the series. Too bad Stieg Larsson is dead!

This book was interesting and I liked it at first but when I continue reading it lost the suspense and left the main mystery. Read about student life was boring and that made lose interest. I wish I had put more emphasis on the mystery.

Un pequeño libro que contiene grandes consejos para los jóvenes.

I usually don't like stories from the Middle East but this book was different. For parts I was confused by the number of names and sometimes seemed that attention was diverted from the main plot, but as the reading progressed, I liked the twist in the mystery and it became a thrilling reading. Also changed my perspective on the conflict with Muslims.

I've got this books when I was 11 and I can say that it helped me a lot. The advice offered by the book are excellent to guide your life on. I completely recommend.

Tengo sentimientos encontrados con respecto a este libro. Me dejé llevar por la reseña de la portada del libro y creí que sería interesante, sin embargo, el desarrollo del personaje me pareció demasiado lento, además, el hecho de que utilice palabras en otro idioma y no le haya puesto la traducción, lo hace aún más pesado. En algunas partes fue entretenido e interesante, así que, creo que dependerá del gusto de cada uno si desea leerlo.

I believe this is the first book about the “split personality” that has ever been written. I loved every page of the book and the narrative form. I must admit I felt a strange liking for Edward Hyde and I felt sad that he and Dr. Henry Jekyll died at the end of the story. However, this is more than a novel, it's a good way to think about the dichotomy between good and evil.

This book made me love this author. He's amazing!!! He had such a great imagination that nobody had. All the characters were well defined and I enjoy the story. I didn't like the sex scenes and I had to turn the pages, but I loved all the rest. It's sad that the author died without continuing the series of 7 books he had planned to write.

Cuando comencé a leer este libro me pareció muy interesante y lleno de intriga. No obstante, cuando la historia continuó, se hizo bastante lenta e hizo énfasis en el romance. Desde ese punto, se tornó muy técnico y bastante aburrido. La idea era muy interesante pero en la mitad se perdió el sentido. Sin embargo, el final fue bastante bueno.
