Book Review: The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
★★★☆☆ 3 / 5 Original review: I did not like this book. I feel like the author was too much in love with his protagonist. He really, really wants you to think Kvothe is really cool and badass, but he… Read More »Book Review: The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
Critique de livre: Averroès ou le secrétaire du diable
★★☆☆☆ 2 / 5 Ce n’est pas le meilleur de Sinoué. C’est un roman écrit dans un style autobiographique sans grande originalité. Contrairement au Livre de Saphir, il n’y a pas d’intrigue, de mystère, ou autre accroche pour garder l’intérêt… Read More »Critique de livre: Averroès ou le secrétaire du diable
Book Review: Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: A Visual History
★★★★☆ 4 / 5 Really enjoyed the first 80% of the book, but the chapters after the WotC acquisition read like a paid advertisement of their current products and offer little insight on the human story behind the development. Fact… Read More »Book Review: Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: A Visual History
Book Review: Children of Dune (Dune, #3)
★★★★☆ 4 / 5 Much better than Dune Messiah, although it can’t have the singular impact of the original Dune. Herbert is definitely willing to take the series to a different place, which is very good! Fact Sheet Author: Frank… Read More »Book Review: Children of Dune (Dune, #3)
The Welfare State has Failed
Sitting here in the ER for nearly ten hours now, it’s hard not to contemplate our public health system and come to the conclusion that we, as a society, have utterly failed to maintain the welfare state ideals of the 70’s. How did we get to this point?
Critique de livre: La Bête et sa cage
★★★★☆ 4 / 5 Excellente suite, quoique au début j’avais du mal à reconnaître le personnage. Évidemment l’environnement carcéral le changeait. Je me suis vite habitué et j’ai bien apprécié l’intrigue! Fiche Technique Auteur(e): David Goudreault Éditeur: Stanké ISBN: 9782760411869
Critique de livre: La bête à sa mère
★★★★☆ 4 / 5 Très bon livre, le protagoniste est fascinant (et dégueulasse). Ça me rappelle beaucoup du Zola, c’est comme une étude de la descente aux enfers. Fiche Technique Auteur(e): David Goudreault Éditeur: Stanké ISBN: 9782760411708
Book Review: Cryptonomicon (Crypto, #1)
★★★★★ 5 / 5 Just a fantastic read from start to finish. Every chapter is fun to read on its own, thanks to Stephenson’s clever and entertaining writing style. Despite the length, there are no extraneous sections; it’s just a… Read More »Book Review: Cryptonomicon (Crypto, #1)
Book Review: The Dragon Reborn (The Wheel of Time, #3)
★★★☆☆ 3 / 5 It’s alright. It is very similar in pace and scope to the second book. As usual with this series, the ending is the most satisfying part of the book. Removing Rand’s POV is a bold choice.… Read More »Book Review: The Dragon Reborn (The Wheel of Time, #3)
