World Without End
Ken FollettKen does a great job with this one after the Pillars of the Earth.However, I don't really think that it was as good as the the pillars. The story was almost bipolar, it was good but at times it really sucked. The development of the characters was almost predictable and believe it or not I kinda knew the end by the middle of the book. It is good, but not as good as the first. I think is a great book to read on a long flight between NY and Singapore, but not for the skilled reader. It lacked ex... (show more)

It is good, but not as good as the first. I think is a great book to read on a long flight between NY and Singapore, but not for the skilled reader. It lacked excitement after a while and I think that he prolonged too much the relationship of his main characters to the point of boredom, too self-centered. It is still a good read. (show less)

A Thousand Splendid Suns
Khaled HosseiniOnce again Hosseini leaves me shaken with this amazing book. It brought out anger, joy, suspense, resentment and sadness.

Once again Hosseini leaves me shaken with this amazing book. It brought out anger, joy, suspense, resentment and sadness. A story in which once again woman proof to be the stronger characters not only in books but in life as well. They will put themselves last for the sake of everyone, the true pillars of our society. The story was told delicately and from such a personal perspective and it walks the fine line of reality and fiction. Hosseini takes you in this journey of love and violence that up to this day still affects the people of Afganistan. After so many dacedes of violence, Houssini opens a door for us to possibly understand how truly complicated the politics of that region are and how the struggle of power has torn so many families apart. A story where the main object is survival and the outcome is faith and love. Simply, just an amazing book! (show less)

The Road
Cormac McCarthyA great story of survival throughout the worst possible conditions in a setting in which you are doomed to perish. A magnificent tale of the love of a father for his son, and what must be done to ensure that his son's childhood is not forgotten but always with the ultimate goal of his survival even if death is a certain thing walking a long the unknown road and the uncertainties of their environment.
