Goodreads page My rating: 5 out of 5 My review: This was amazing. Best read in a loooong time. Ever felt like there are a few puppet masters of “public” opinion? This thriller/detective story (untraditionally non-sci-fi for William Gibson) will take you for a ride and make you wonder what opinions are your own. Follow Cayce Pollard, the hunter of tomorrow’s “cool” on her quest to uncover maker(s?) of intricate video footage appearing randomly on the Internet and you will “take a duck in your face”. …

Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: Read it and loved it. Imagery this book provides is stunning, and narrative style is dynamic enough to keep you reading in one take.

Goodreads page My rating: 5 out of 5 My review: While I liked other W.G’s books more, this one is not to be missed either. It’s not a traditional sci-fi you would expect from W. Gibson, but it is nevertheless a suspense thriller filled with contemporary technologies and interesting twists. Gibson uses his standard technique of having 3-4 story-lines joining at some point together. However “standard” this technique is for Gibson, the story itself is unique and intriguing. …

Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: Interesting topic for a book and mostly well written. A bit too much repeating (but I guess that’s for easier remembering). Plus some examples are a bit outdated (not that it changes their relevance). All in all a very interesting read that definitely needs more practice to actually become somewhat effective.

Goodreads page My rating: 5 out of 5 My review: I’d say this is Little Prince for grownups, but it wouldn’t do it justice. The Alchemist made my cry, laugh and experience moments of pure happiness. It will either make you happy because you are following your heart, sad because you are not or excited about your destiny. For me at least, this is the best book I have ever read. …

Goodreads page My rating: 5 out of 5 My review: First book I read in English original version. Loved the crazyness and narrative.

Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: Another of Gaiman’s great works. I can’t get enough of his storytelling abilities. Somehow he is able to create vivid images of most unimaginable places in my mind. A great adventure of a boy growing in in a graveyard and being raised by ghosts after his family is murdered in the dark of the night.

Goodreads page My rating: 5 out of 5 My review: I can’t remember last time a book made me cry (several times). This is an emotional bomb full or regrets, past misdeeds, rivalry and most of all redemption. Khaled Hosseini is a master storyteller who managed to somehow describe even the most terrible events in the impassive voice of Amir, who is remembering his childhood living with his father after his mother died giving birth to him. …

Goodreads page My rating: 3 out of 5 My review: I enjoyed this second Discworld novel marginally more than the first part (Colour of Magic). The humour is there in all its gory, no idiom will stay unscathed and no legend uprooted. Darkness is not the opposite of light, it’s just absence of light. Opposite of light is called (appropriately): Light Fantastic.

Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: I loved how this book started to create a bridge to the world of Neuromancer in my mind. Yes, still a world very much like our own, but much more anarchistic and full of weird characters. Again typical for Gibson: Three story lines coming together and doing so with a bang! I still liked the Sprawl trilogy more, but just because of more futuristic world, the characters in Virtual Light are just as likeable and interesting. …
