La Min flowerbearf9a4 — This was much better. I had just read "61 Hours" which was weak by Reacher standards, so was glad to read this much better book. Lots of action, lots of mystery, good characters. Great series.

Andrea Ferraroli _erra — The Briar King is one of those delightful books that slowly grows on you. It starts off a bit slow, gaining in momentum, until you look up and it is 3am, and you kick yourself for all those "just one more chapter..." moments. Not only does the story grow on you, but most of the characters do too. Notice I said most. There were a few characters that I never got in touch with, but overall I was happy with the characterization. Actually, I feel that way about the entire book. The story was great, though in some places I felt a bit lost. The world building was equally good, though again, some parts left me a bit confused. The interesting thing is, it all balanced. I cannot think of a single area, pacing, characterization, world building, or plot that strikes me as being exceptional when compared to other areas. There were plot twists I saw coming, and there were some that left me stunned. There were characters I loved, or hated, and others I wished I knew better. There are questions asked and answered and questions left hanging in the air. All I know is that together, it all worked and was more then enough to make me read that "one more chapter..."

Lukasz Pukowiec pukowiecst1ced — A pretty sparse review of world football in the context of globalization. There are some neat insights though - in particular the sometimes contradictory relationship between capital, tribal identity and football. Too many of the chapters were focused on European football (taking brief pit stops in Brazil and America). This means that you missed out on learning about how the game is a metaphor for globalization in Asia or Africa.

Gustavo Souza gustavor_sb869 — A collection of break-up letters spanning from Ann Boleyn's testament of fidelity for Henry VIII to Molly Jong-Fast's surprisingly humorous missive to a married man, Hell Hath No Fury spans the entire range of female heartache and offers up a feast of letter writing talent. Good to have around if you've ever feared you're the only one to experience any particular neurosis.

Alessandro Piotto aledesign — Peter Pan mungkin salah satu dongeng yang paling asyik untuk diutak-atik, karena begitu banyak 'why' dan 'what if' yang tak pernah terjelaskan oleh sang pengarang, J.M. Barry. Entah sudah berapa buku dan film mengenai Peter Pan yang pernah dibuat, dalam berbagai versi. Dalam buku ini, Dave Barry dan Ridley Pearson 'merekonstruksi' awal mula Peter Pan and the Lost Boys menjadi penghuni Never Land, mengapa ada putri duyung di sana, mengapa Hook kehilangan sebelah tangannya, dan mengapa Peter Pan tak bisa dewasa. Seandainya saya belum pernah membaca dan mendengar dongeng Peter Pan, kisah dalam buku ini akan sangat menarik. Dan seru! Apalagi terjemahan edisi Indonesianya sangat menyenangkan. Tapi...saya sudah lama terpikat pada Peter, bocah yang tidak mau menjadi dewasa. Kenakalannya, ketengilannya, keberaniannya, keegoisannya. Dan saya tidak menemukan semua itu di buku ini. Di sini, Peter tidak 'bisa' menjadi dewasa, bukan 'tidak mau'. Dua hal yang jauh berbeda! (Saya tidak tahu apakah di buku-buku berikutnya sifat asli Peter akan muncul) Satu hal lagi, saya suka bagaimana J.M. Barry memberitahu cara untuk terbang : 'bayangkan semua yang indah dan membahagiakan, maka kau akan bisa terbang'. It's sooo magical. Sementara di buku ini, kemampuan terbang lebih didapat dari benda, bukan pikiran bahagia. Kayaknya kok teknis banget yah... Kesimpualannya, ini buku yang bagus dan enak dibaca. Tapi saat membacanya, sebaiknya sisihkan dulu legenda Peter Pan yang asli dari benak, dan nikmati saja petualangan Peter Pan versi Dave dan Ridley apa adanya...
