Deserves a re-read because the weaving between games and relationships is worth going through again.
I didn't think that arc had a purpose but after finishing this book that arc has been redeemed.
This is a wonderful ending everything felt earned and there was a price to pay for all the good in this ending.
The book becomes predictable halfway through, as you can already tell how it will end. However, the audiobook's exceptional production adds a significant plus. The story consistently prioritizes real decisions and power for the same characters, leading to a lack of shift in the balance of power. This predictability might lessen the excitement, but you'll still be curious to see how the story concludes, like watching a ship sink.
The villain's portrayal, particularly towards the climax, could have been more nuanced. There's a notable scene where she dresses herself, each piece of attire symbolizing a different comment made about her. This moment suggests she's empowering herself through the interpretations of these opinions and this was like “This is vengful, movie moment”.
However, overall, her actions would have benefited from greater depth and clearer reasoning.
It's a very sticky book you really feel like going back to line pages or even going back to whole chapters to find out what it really means. I'd have to give it another read.
A nice follow up to the first book , some convinces feel like plot armour but I charge it to the gods of dara.
I go to work with a different pep in my step, worth a re-read to grasp some of the dense meanings that come from being a craftsmen but i can say for now my stand up meetings are about to made different.
if you're doing machine learning or deep learning this book is like a palate cleanser after looking at eldritch mathematical runes like your an alchemist, this is like taking a catch up class on how those formulas work but you do have to look for ways to connect that learning from machine learning or deep learning to this book.
This book got me back into reading I couldn't drop it even though I had deadlines due the next day. If anything this is a book I'd come back to
This book is a powerful read that offers valuable insights into the pursuit of success. While its brutal honesty may not appeal to everyone, its lessons on resilience, focus, and self-belief are particularly relevant in the challenging field of programming. It's a recommended read for those who are not afraid to confront the harsh realities of what it takes to win.
Listening to the audio book doing reps and reading the book drinking protein shake, this book has taken me through friendship, love and being a passive presence in someones life
Once it starts you better make sure your ready for the ride, I had work to do but I always found myself coming back to just get a little further into the mystery and how the main conflict will get resolved. Chefs kiss
Honestly can't recommend a better book but reading this before i sleep left me wondering do i need to sleep when mans work can still be accomplished, Other than that I'd say i have 9 more re-reads to go and a lot more to experience before i can action most of these lessons.
As we go closer to the ending, it starts setting in that this isn't a celebration of gang shit but an open view on the violence it brings into everyone involved.
We transitioned from a cooking show determining the entire storyline, which didn't require as much time, and we could have explored alternative methods to incorporate those elements of creativity and engineering. Overall it's a good read.
A nice book to come back to when facing pressure and you need a template to weather a storm.
A great book for getting over overthinking in theory if you take message and make your own meaning out of it you have a better chance of enjoying the book
