BR with my bestie Elsbeth, who decided to refrain from reading this after my updates. Still had a blast venting to you, honey!I should really stop doing this. Stop reading books that don’t appeal to me at all just because my friends are very enthusiastic about it. This is such a book for me. Great w...
So Riverside, Buffalo won't be going on my list of places to visit any time soon. Good to know.I'm not really sure how to review this one. I'm always surprised when a character refuses to leave after I've finished a book. Feels like Desmond Poole may be sticking around for a while. I guess one way o...
I have mixed feelings on how to rate this. The characterization and world-building is 5-star, but the first half moved a little too slow for me, so I'm bumping it to a 4/4.5 star. Did this take away from my love for Des? HELL NO! This world is set in the future where robotics play a big part of ever...
Me costó calificar este libro. En cuanto terminé de leerlo pensé que las categorías que te obliga a usar Goodreads eran reduccionistas y estructuradas. Pero como me pasa siempre, le encontré la vuelta escribiendo. Ninguna crítica está exenta de parcialidad y es imposible llegar a la completa objetiv...
Desmond Poole. He is the kind of character you don't want to like but you find that in the end you do want Desmond to somehow be redeemed. As I read, sure I wanted him to take a shower, stop drinking so much alcohol and that noodles alone aren't part of a proper diet. Yes as the story progressed I f...
Warning for some spoilers below. This isn't really a plot driven book, but I do mention some details from near the end of the book. I am not surprised that this one didn't end up quite working for me, but I am a bit surprised by the reason. I was warned that Desmond is a very hard character to l...
And it is very easy to explain why - while it is just as well written as any other book by JCP, I coild care less about Desmond Poole and this does not make for a very good read when one does not care about main character. I believe JCP was fully aware that she was taking a risk with this book - oth...
It takes a certain ingenuous faith – but I have it – to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.” ― A.C GraylingI’m pretty much not going to write a coherent review, this has been decided since my fingers landed on the keyboard. M...
Rating: 2.5 starsSo Desmond Pool is a 33 year old man who’s living with his newly acquired robotic arm after a near death experience months back. He’s pretty much bumming off of disability benefits and trying to avoid the requirements set forth by his ex-boyfriend/current social worker. Unfortunatel...
