The Voyage of the Beagle: Charles Darwin's Journal of Researches by Charles Darwin
4.0
A great book to see that not only did he observe animals and plants, but also human behaviour, between slaves, indigenous people and the white colonizers throughout all their colonies and how different each one developt. Also you get to see a more biased position from his part being an Englishman nd not just a scientist in those times and what was considered normal back then. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to understand with the scientific names of animals and coordinates of places, but overall a great book to want you to go out there and see these places and how much they have changed since then.
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
3.0
The story in itself is interesting, but it develops very slowly. Only near the end does the book become less monotone. It is a classic but not one of the best ones out there.
The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy
3.0
It starts out very slow, up until half of the book it gets really good and then you cannot stop reading. But at the beginning there are so many things said that are not important. But all in all it is a very graphic crime novel, not just in the details of the murder but on the thoughts of the detective which is very interesting.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
3.0
The book has a long introduction, that is literally a spoiler, it tells you everything that happens in the whole book. The story itself is great but this introduction ruins it! I recommend you to read the book and leave the introduction when you finish the book, but also the introduction is not worth the read anyway.
The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
5.0
I loved the book. If you have seen series or movies of Dorian Grey, I can assure you that the book is better (like always). The book had a mini biography of the author at the beginning and end of the book, just to let you know how much he struggled with the release of this story, which makes the book even better and just aroused my curiosity in finding out more about Oscar Wilde.
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
5.0
So well written, perfect details that immerse you in the story and make you think that it's a true story. Beautiful and real.
