pickThe story spans for about a century, divided into roughly 4 main parts. Each part shows perseverance: Like father, like daughter. But the most thrilling is the last part, of twin granddaughters. For me the book has everything a suspense book should have. Must read.
pickSimple background, simple circle of characters, simple motive of story. But the author managed to formulate all the simplicities into a thrilling suspense. While I felt annoyed by the sudden realization by Rachel, the other parts just healed that feeling. Recommended! (before you watch the film)
so-soReid's lifelong extrapolation on number theory and number problems. Want to know more about 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, e, and aleph-zero? Don't miss the book! But... I disappointed that there was no pi here.
pickEverything is short, concise, uni-pretation, and straight-forward. That is so Hawking. And also it is when he describes physics in his delightful way. Despite all obstacles, he remains positive in the last chapter. Don't have to fully understand them all, but please give it a try. 4/5.
pickThis book is incredible: Full of music and piracy history, told in narration resembles a fictional story which sparks further imagination, comprehensive, and so complete. But I don't understand anything about rap, so I may deduce half a star out of full set of rating. Recommended book!
pickJust read the Blinkist version. I think the original book will be more interesting, as I consider this book takes different angle of "managing talents", and stands out in the crowd of "unpurposeful" self-help books. Think you're one of them? You have to read this!
pickThis is Bahasa Indonesia version of the book. What an amazing experience of the author, plus connection and comprehension with socioanthropology, politics, economics, cultures, and etc... To describe what actually happens in Indonesia regarding to the "Etc". A must read for every Indonesian!
pickEver wondered about the five-siblings? Why do they do something, why do they behave like what we see, and how superior actually they are? This book, plus some satiric parts, shows every aspect of Scandinavia countries very clearly. Don't forget the politics and history: It is fulfilled of them too.
pickExpect yourself to be on a meticulous journey: Historically, socioantropologically, philosophically, scientific, and medically, into this realm of mirroring hands and limbs. Many surprising facts will be unfold, many myths will be cracked, and many brains will be wow-ed. Superb book!
First post on Litsy: The very last paragraph was the most remarkable statement of JDB. But in some moments in the book, I didn't really found the "greatness" that official blurb promised us.
