I think it's inappropriate to review a book documenting one of the most atrocious periods of human history. That being said, I also feel that I didn't fully understand the book, due to my reading comprehension or background, I do not know.
Long review warning: It took me 4 years to finish the LOTR trilogy and this was my absolute favorite book out of all of them. I wasn't a huge fan of the Fellowship or the two towers, but I pushed through them and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely adored every page of Return of the King, especially the ending which I felt was so well done. I have a tendency to hate how books end, but this one really was just brilliant. I would gladly do a book report on this book and also on the character of Eowyn. Eowyn is such a fantastic character and I could go on and on about her but I don't think this is the time or the place. I would definitely recommend this, even though I couldn't stand the first two books. The Return of the King really sold it to me! <3
Första romanen som jag har läst på svenska! Det var en vackert men sorglig historia, när jag läst om hur livfull Bengt var, sen att han har dog ensam jag var så jävla ledsen.
I had to read Candide for a history course, and I loved it! This surprised me because I have a tendency to despise assigned reading, but Candide was entertaining, fast paced, and absolutely ridiculous. It was fantastic
I love Szabo's books, the way the characters are written is so brilliant. Each character is so multi-faceted, everytime I start to form a steadfast opinion on onw of them I'm caught off guard by another level of the person. I loved and hated and loved the characters from start to finish. My main complaint is that the novel felt like it was ended too early. The ending was so exciting, I was so attached to the characters and then it felt cut off and left too open-ended. I loved this book but the ending, or lack thereoff, was disappointing.
I've gotta admit I watched the TV show 1st, so I'm a bit biased. But, I really loved this graphic novel (collection of comics?). The art was so unique and gorgeous, and the twists and turns made the whole story so brilliantly fun. I'm a die hard fan of the show, but the comic is a great story in and of itself.
