I have read this number of times. Re-reading it again! And you cannot not finish in one sitting.
One of the best books I have ever read! Excellent Writing, Stunning Illustrations.
Once you read this “Nothing's going to be the same... ...not ever again.”
You will understand Batman's story is not about Batman, who is the hero? who is the villain?
Alan Moore redefined Superhero with Watchmen, he redefined Supervillian with this one!
After a long time I've finished a book in one sitting. This is masterpiece and make me want to read more by Frederick Backman. There is a specific cadence in his writing that really hooks me in.
This book is about relationship, memories and letting go. Very few times any (non manga) book has kept me invested, involved and consistently emotional throughout the read. This definitely teared me up.
Must read.
This is by far one of the best graphic novels anyone had ever written !
“What if reality (as perceived) were simply an extention of the self? Wouldn't that color the way each individual experiences the world?That might explain why some people get along so effortlessly, while others don't. Although people do keep trying.Yet, despite such predisposition, maybe one person's construction of the world, could influence someone else's.”
“To live is to exist within a conception of time. But to remember is to vacate the very notion of time.”
This book will be remembered !
Deep and unforgettable !
Love it !
Book definitely has some amazing quotes :)
“But I must start at the beginning, if I can find it. Beginnings are elusive things. Just when you think you have hold of one, you look back and see another, earlier beginning, and an earlier one before that. Even if you start with “Chapter One: I Am Born, “ you still have the problem of antecedents, of cause and effect.”
Kudos to author for her effort on this book! Some great stories with clear message “through hard work and persistence, you can become the best version of yourself. “ This book ends up becoming a mere collection of great stories. There are not many methods described for increasing and maintaining our own grit.
Spiegelman changed my perception of comics forever. For those who never truly understood what the holocaust was all about, this book is must read. Illustrations still haunt me every time I read this book. Some great art work done to show the darkest days of humanity.
Must must must read !
Excellent book for math lovers and even otherwise. Lots of interesting stories around Math errors in real life.
One of the best book I have read.
Animal Farm
Great dramatization of the very heavy idea that “Absolute power is likely to Corrupt Absolutely!”
I have read this book multiple times and would read it again because every time I read I gain new insights into human nature and the civilization/government game.
What's more, the novel ends with a quote so true that it still gives me chills.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which”.
I also recommend going through - http://study.com/academy/lesson/allegory-in-animal-farm-characters-examples.html to understand the Animal Farm analogies.
1984
I enjoyed my journey throughout the book, it was full of mixed feeling with a common thread of Depression.
The best part of this book is THE GOVERNMENT ! ‘he who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past'.
We are all living in ‘depression' This book gives new meaning to Depression. Though I know there is a ray of hope somewhere :)
Overall Orwell's fantasy is all too realistic. It fails both as fantasy and prophesy.
Must read books ! Highly recommended to all my reader friends.
