Book review II3 by M. Onofre

Flor Onofre - "Never Let Me Go"

fdmonofre — 2021-03-24 01:33:51 UTC

This brilliant science fiction story mixed with love, friendship and loss was written by Kazuo Ishiguro in 2005.
It's the story of Kathy, Ruth and Tommy as they grow up and realise their boarding school is more than that.
Beautifully written, although the ending is quite unexpected. It explores the hidden corners of humanity, love and ethics in a world not distant from being just fiction.
Highly recommended for those who question life at its best. *****

Francisco Rodriguez - "The Lord of the Rings" <3

2021-03-24 03:05:57 UTC

This fantastic literature with chivalric romance and heroic adventure fiction explains that the book is "largely concerned with hobbits", and tells of their origins in a migration from the east; of how they smoke "pipe weed"; of how the Shire, where most of them live, is ornagised; and how the narrative follows on from The Hobbit, in which the hobbit Bilbo Baggins finds the Ring, which had been in the possession of the creature Gollum. Was published by J. R. R. Tolkien on July 29, 1954. Is really insteresting for me and I'll recommend it. *****

Sharon Rodríguez - "Love in the times of cholera"

2021-03-24 03:06:02 UTC

This book is about a person who waits for the love of his life for 60 years. This happened in the 1965 years in Colombia.
It's a history of love of Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza.The main character is serious. However,after meeting Fermina Dazza he changes his attitude to make her fall in love.
The history is really fantastic and interesting. At first, you don't understand well, but then you envolt in the history.

Mariana Navarro - "La niebla no pudo coultarlo"

2021-03-24 03:06:15 UTC

This youth narrative was written by Albeiro Echevarría. This book was published by Santillana in 2017 and is based in a true story in a little town, Yarumal, in Colombia. . The story is established in the 60’s and 70’s during the acts of violence that occurred in that country, a conflict that involved guerrilla groups, paramilitary gangs and the Armed Forces.

Leopoldo lives a peaceful life with his mother, his brother Mauricio, and Aunt Luna. However, this changes the day when Leopoldo and his friend Nelson witness a terrible crime committed in the surroundings of their house, in the middle of the dense fog. Leopoldo and Nelson had to bury the dead so as not to endanger his brother, however guilt will haunt him all his life, despite the fact that he did not commit any crime.
The book is very easy to read, although the narrative times are not straight all the time so you should pay atenttion to all the details. You can feel the real context with the songs who are quoted in the book, most of them are vals, boleros of the time (in the end of the book you can saw the names, singers and composers of the songs). 
If you want to enter in the real life of the residents in that difficult time you should read it.

Jacklyn Barrios - "The Shining"

This is the best psychological horror book I have read. It's a novel by American writer Stephen King, published in 1977.

Ivan Rodríguez - "The Pursuit of Happyness"

2021-03-24 03:06:21 UTC

I remember that I've ever read the book The Pursuit of happyness, where it talks about a struggling salesman who's just trying to get by. This character has worked as a door-to-door salesman, the main characters are Chris, his son Christopher Jr. and his wife Linda, this book is a true story, well written and wonderful, although is a book that you couldn't put the book down because is fantastic and sad. However in the end the main character got became an important business-man of Wall Street of New York.

Angie Olivares - "Cell"

2021-03-24 03:06:29 UTC

This horror novel has been written by Stephen King. It also, has a little of suspense in all the story and took place in Boston.
However, the son of the principal character was in other city. The book is related to zombies because when you use your cell phone, automatically, become a zombie. There exists a father that see everything that happens in his around, so he tries to avoid talking but the phone. Furthermore, he wants to talk with his son. However, he doesn't know how.
Finally, I really recommend this interesting book, you won't want to stop reading.

Jean Villanueva - "The story of a shipwrecked sailor"

2021-03-24 03:06:33 UTC

The type of the book is real narration story. It was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in 1970. The story is written in first person, because it relate ten days about Luis Velasco who was crew member of the military ship from colombia. In those ten days, He fall on the sea and he have to survive alone without food.

I think the story very realistic, because it's a real story. However, when Velasco fall on the sea,
the story was scary, because He needed to find food.

Giancarlo Heredia - "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

2021-03-24 03:06:41 UTC

This fantasy and adventure story was written by J.K. Rowling in 2005.
It's the story of Harry Potter, a young wizard call "The Chosen One" because he is the only one to defeat Lord Voldemort.
In his sixth year at the Hogwarts School of Magic he start developing his feelings and some situations from an usual teenager, but at the same time he start learning the story of the main villian of the saga and the secrets to defeat him.
It is the most complete story of the saga because it takes real situations from a teenager and the same time from a magician, although if you have not read the previous books, there is no way that you understand everything developed in this book. *****

Marcelo Rojas - "Yakusoku no Neverland"

2021-03-24 03:06:44 UTC

Although is not a book, this manga has an interesting and dramatic story. It was written by Kaiu Shirai and drawn by Posuka Demizu from 2016 to 2020.
It's a dark fantasy, science fiction and thriller story about 3 children who discover the biggest secret of the world, all children in the world are raised as food for demons, and they try to escape from the "farm".
The story is easy to follow and imaginative, also the characters development is really good. However, after a while, the story goes too fast.
I recommend this manga to everyone!

" The 5am Club".
I love this book. The genre of the book is of the self-help. There are no main characters. However, I like this book. The author of the book is Robin Sharman, he talks to about the 20 methods to able to control your mornigs and elevate your life for example some methods are Get up at 5 in the morning, Do intense sport for 20 minutes and write in your journal for 20 minutes. I think of these methods are very interesting because people help them push themself and reach the limit as a person.

"confusion" written by a Spanish writer. I never read books because I don't like it but without a doubt this book was the best I read in my life because of its plot since everything is suspenseful and confusing at the beginning and somewhat sad at the end
