Un montón de tonterías, me parece increíble que me pidan impartirlo como contenido de curso. Amarillista, dogmático, capacitista y machista. Cada día le creo menos a la psicología su calidad de ciencia.

Muy informativo. Contiene muchos tips y sugerencias de dinámicas de clase que aplican en prácticamente cualquier nivel y materia. Escritura amena que hace que la lectura se sienta ligera.
Me hubiera gustado que fuera un poco más organizado en el sentido que los cuadros en que se resalta la información en ocasiones contenían únicamente anécdotas que si bien son entretenidas no eran tan relevantes como para resaltar al nivel del resto de los cuadros. Se incluyen algunos comentarios más de tipo filosófico-dogmático que en mi opinión no hacen falta para entender el texto y en ocasiones incluso desviaban un poco del tema.
Buen libro de referencia para iniciar, definitivamente leería más de este autor.

Lovely short romance, a little predictable but not unenjoyable. It deals with heavier topics without being too crass or naïve which is nice to see in books intended for children/teens.

It was a very vibes no plot book. It was an interesting exploration of a different kind of first-encounters theory. Definitely a product of its time in the treatment of women and the stereotypical scifi MC (always drinking, smoking and depressingly pondering, so I wasn't all that invested in the stakes.

Can't say I'm a fan of Sanderson just by this but I can see the appeal. The characters are compelling and the ecology of this world makes sense for the most part. Battle scenes are plenty and well written, so if you like those here's your book.
I did have some issues with how the races are portrayed. Most of the criticism seems to focus on the light-dark eyes racism which is intentional but I do believe some comments made on the Parshmen/Parshendi were very much unintentional and made me feel a little offput.

Beautiful narration, lacking a bit in dialogue and "fleshing out" of some characters. I feel like some plot points resolve conveniently on its own to wash Snow's hands from blame and that took away from some moral dilemmas I would've liked to see explored more in depth.

I don't know who this book is for because if you're an architect I assume you know all of this, and if you're a layman (me) the explanations are confusing, dogmatic and uninteresting. Most of the examples are of Western and particularly XVIII century or ancient greek housing, even though we are repeatedly told that this principles apply to all buildings.
What really put me off tho were Krier's "humorous" drawings which were childish at best and incredibly ignorant and classist at worst. Might give another chance to Krier since a lot of architectural projects that I like were based off his ethos but definitely not this book.

I'm actually glad that I read this after Foundation because it was the perfect mix of raising the stakes while also sort of knowing how it's going to end. The last chapter I felt was a bit awkward and even a tad creepy, but overall I loved the characters and was mind blown by the plot twists. Truly, skull lifted brains exploded.

It was ok. Won it in a giveaway here for which I'm thankful. I liked the trans (and bi?) main character and the setting.
I know Bruce and Simon got together because Hallmark movie but the way it was framed by the rest of the town as Bruce'll make the foreigner give up on destroying the lighthouse" it's hilarious to me. Imagine there's a beefy guy out by the coast seducing every buyer into not touching the lighthouse, siren behavior.

Really enjoyed this novel approach about time and it made me rethink a bunch of things that were giving me worry. I felt it was a biit repetitive around the end but nevertheless a great book thar I'm sure will be recommending to friends.
