Addictive as usual, even though it was less of a vampire and more ghost story I loved it, it enthralled me and hypnotized me with the details, the more human aspect of it, instead of being immortal. I can't wait to start reading the next one.
It was interesting to see how the world works according to Zorba and according to the author. How men and women saw their time in the world. It was of course fictitious but with an air of crude reality, one which could easily work today in a remote village. I just wished the ending would have been less real and more of a "and they lived happily ever after".
Loved how it was written, keeping you at the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next, will he make it, will there be another delay and the ending is the best part, when you think everything is lost.
I have mixed feelings about this book. I am torn between the fine line of fiction and reality, not sure if what he writes is to be believed or to actually be an example of religious faith. Either way his point is made in expanding one's mind and embracing or turning away from magic, demons or angels, the choice is yours but it is very interesting the way he casts this doubt in your mind, if you are willing to have an open mind and entertain the possibility that it all might be true then the book is really good, if however you feel that all is BS then you hate this book.
A bit outdated, but still an interesting read. It is quite difficult to really deduce the feelings of a person by just a handful of cluster gestures, I think it takes way more than that. But it is a nice book to open your eyes to the people around you instead of just your ears.
Great read! A very good insight into the gods and heroes of Greek Mythology and their "true" nature. I think my favorite part is the historical explanation and actual beliefs and cultural and geographical connections. At some points the names were quite confusing, especially when he stopped talking about gods and started talking about heroes and kings, but all in all a very good read.
Great read. It struck me really hard the chapter when John and Mustapha have their conversation about why live in this world and not in the old. You can't help but side with both and know that in the end there is no middle point, you are either happily unhappy or ignorant and happy. I think it is one of the few books I might re-read in the future just like 1984, because it always makes sense, no matter the era you live in.
