Ahah, great book ! Although it is not my genre, i loved it.. From the initial suspense of what is happening (if you have no idea what kind of book it is) up until when the characters start to build themselves and the relationships between them start becoming solid :) i did love it, it is entertaining and it gives that kind of feeling of wanting to know what is happening next :) the main character is just great and the ending is quite unexpected (for me, at least) :)
It was the first book I read by Saramago (and I say first because - I really really loved it).
I had always heard about the polemics this book caused and now I can see why. It goes against many believes without being unbelievable.. :) I really liked it and provided me with a brand new vision about what might have happened (assuming one believes on the story on the first place).
Fresh new looks on history!
A very good book :) it came into my want to read list while checking the books that are turning into movies in 2016.
It is a good story - fantasy and children like, but very well constructed overall.. The characters afçre rich and it is a very entertaining story :) made me wanna read numbers 2 and 3 of this trilogy :)
There is something about the story, the characters, the way the book is written and the way the story unfolds that kept me up and wanting for more..
i just cannot explain what it is! The concepts and story themselves are simple but reading them is like being taken into another dimension - one where two moons exist, perhaps.. one where each character is essentially “normal” and could be here on our side but has something about it that makes it not quite real.
It was a really good surprise :)
Already starting the second :)
