Juan Gómez-Jurado: El paciente (Paperback, 2015, Booket)

Review of 'El paciente' on 'Goodreads'

Buen thriller, me ha gustado el estilo del autor y aunque lo he leído despacio, el último tercio está muy bien. La historia va acelerando en la cuenta atrás a la operación de "El Paciente" y aunque la historia creo que podría haber dado algo más de sí, me ha parecido muy bien llevada.

Review of 'The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Boxed Set' on 'Goodreads'

The first time I read The Hobbit I was 14. Now, 20 years later I've enjoyed it in English and even the translation is really good, reading Tolkien in his language it's a different thing. The expressiveness of his prose is a really different to the type of English texts I usually read. I'll re-read TLOTR in English some time in the future but as for now, I'll move to a novel into Spanish.

reseñó The Martian de Andy Weir (The Martian, #1)

Andy Weir: The Martian (Hardcover, 2014, Crown)

A mission to Mars.

A freak accident.

One man's struggle to survive.

Review of 'The Martian' on 'Goodreads'

Terminado minutos antes de aterrizar en Valencia tras, curiosamente, pasar una semana cerca de gente que está trabajando en llevarnos a marte. La novela es ligera, dinámica y entretenida. El lenguaje coloquial del diario del protagonista y cómo se las ingenia para sobrevivir cuando todo está en contra le lleva a un acelerado final (narrativa, y físicamente).
