Although the book was published in 2007 it is still very relevant today. Some of these issues have more attention and some even have solutions or alternatives, now more than ever, but others still are pretty much the same. The lobbying of the meat and dairy industry is trying harder than ever to survive knowing that people are waking up to their deceit.
This book made me learn a lot about the animal exploitation industry, it is practically in everything, even being vegan, you are still a part of it one way or another, but I have hope that it will get better. It got better since the book was written, but there is still much more to do. Really recommend this book, but also recommend checking the resources and organizations that are mentioned in the book just for extra research and an update to what is going on nowadays in regards to animal rights.

What a beautiful book, short but really to the point. It makes you think and in the day and age that we live love can be so many different things. To love the way he describes in the book can be very hard but if it takes a lifetime as he says, that is all that matters. The point is not to forget it, which is also quite hard, personally I believe you can love up to a certain point but as he says envy and resentment, bad temper and I guess life circumstances can make it even harder. None the less if everyone applied at least one of these ways of love, the world would be a much better place.
I would say not her best in this vampire saga, the majority of the story was not that interesting, maybe some points here and there, but in general the whole idea of raising Claudia's spirit had no real meaning in the end, it did nothing to the story.It only got interesting at the very end when it was all about vampires again.
Is not bad, but I would have liked to know more about Pandora, about her adventures as a vampire, alone without Marius, what she saw, what she did. I expected more stories of her after being turned into a vampire than before. For the rest, I really enjoyed that she was a roman and her descriptions of the Roman empire and how it changed over the centuries and how it shaped her beliefs and Marius. All in all it is an ok read and it answers some questions left over from the other books.
This is a book made of all her speeches throughout the different countries she travelled. It is repetitive and alarming but I guess that is her point, she needs to repeat several times the same information for people to understand. It is sad what this child has had to do in order for us to understand, sadder still, that we humans may understand but simply don't care. I have followed her for some years now and it still surprises me how she can fight and do all the things that we are not willing to do. A child that moves millions of other children and yet nothing changes. In the end the talk of hope is just as she says just empty words, I just wonder if she actually hopes the future will be better. I do my part, but of course there is always more I can do, that we as individuals can do. Her words are so plain and simple and yet people fail to follow her, to understand her urgency and her pleading. It is a book that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth with a feeling that indeed there is no hope, because the book is from 2019 and since then not much has changed.
It was a bit hectic with the names and circumstances of the lives of each character. I loved the details of how each character thought and felt, but some of the narrative felt slow and long. Unfortunately not knowing a lot of Russian history or knowing about the life and times of the people that lived then, makes it quite difficult to understand or to even relate. I found the story of his life at the end of his book way more interesting.
It's such an interesting story, at the beginning you think it is all about love, but there is death, supernatural beings, war, social differences, the pain of each character, and of course the ending is just as it should be, not happy but not bad, because it is very close to what real life looks like.
I absolutely loved it, because it was completely surprising. I didn't know what was coming from one chapter to the next. I can't wait to read more of her books!

One of the best books I have read so far this year. It has such a powerful message and the ending was totally unexpected! I would definitely like to see a movie adaptation of this.
People say it's gore, I say it's real, change the humans for animals and this is what they live everyday. It was hard to picture a world without animals, it seemed like a sad world in which human life probably and scientifically wouldn't last long anyway. It creates a very interesting way of solving society's problems but at the same time making another one. It shows us humans at the core, like human animals that we are, savage beasts or sheep following sheep.

I liked it, it was creepy and dark, but I would have loved more of the story of the horseman, more ghost stories, more tales and scenes of goblins. It was quite unexpected that Ichabod was a golddigger, quite different from his characters in the movies or tv shows. But I must say that I prefer the movie with Johnny Depp more than the book which is not something I usually say. But all in all a good Halloween read.
It is quite mind-blowing and I am not sure if I have questions or too many answers I didn't want to know after reading this book. I absolutely recommend it though, it really opens your eyes to the future that lays ahead and if not it at least explains how many things actually work right now. I am curious to see if any of his theories do come true in the future that I get to live in.
