Herzog by Saul Bellow
2.0
It was a pointless book, where the main character just complains and writes letter to get his anger and sadness out but never sends the letters and then suddenly he doesn't write them anymore and then everything is ok... There was excitement, no plot no ups and downs just a flat dead line of story.

Absolutely hilarious and refreshing. Loved every part of it even if I didn't understand much about gambling or golf or baseball, but in reality you don't need to. It's a great book!
The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster
3.0
The writer captivates you with each story at the beginning.. You get into it and in the end... Nothing.. Just open endings with many questions left unanswered.
Animal Farm by George Orwell
5.0
Great book! Apparently it was written to show how dictatorship works, but this is just how every government works, it is a very easy way to see it through this book, no matter how old it is.
1984 by George Orwell
4.0
Great writing, detailed to the point you start believing it. Accurate to the past the present and probably the future. Sad and real ending.
Death in a Strange Country by Donna Leon
3.0
Good reading, not many things happen like in a normal detective story where they keep you glued to it, but well enough written to be entertaining. A bit realistic in terms of ending, so not such a happy ending after all.
Aleph by Paulo Coelho
3.0
It was interesting, but hard to understand what he meant sometimes, it was hard to connect to his thoughts about past lives and religion specially not being religious myself. For someone that is religious, I believe reading the book would give them a different experience. All I can say is that it was interesting and left me wondering if it is possible to connect wth your previous lives.
The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis
3.0
It is raw in ideas of sex and drugs. The emotional connection is not like we dream of or at we are used to in other books, it is a separate category. It is painful and dissapointing to think that this is how it really is in the life of a college student and it leaves you wanting for closure but you know you will not get it.

Some things are plausible others are only feasible in the USA and others are plain impossible.
