Just a lot of very repetitive sentences, so for a very young age. So basic that it get hard to review, a good book for this genre, but at the same time so simple that you can help ask yourself...why?

Just a lot of very repetitive sentences, so for a very young age. So basic that it get hard to review, a good book for this genre, but at the same time so simple that you can help ask yourself...why? I get it it can be helpful for young reader to build vocabulary and learn how a sentences work but I still think you can bring all that and still bring a bit more then just it.

An informative book that just present the basic rules and principle behind tennis. Perfect to present and explain the sport to a young kid, but please if you want to introduce a kid to a sport... don't just read a book, go watch a real game and play with him, that what sport is about in the end!

I'm even more unsure about this that I was after #1. No clear path or plot line clear enough to see where it all goes and an issue in itself that was okay but no more. If it doesn't pick up in the next one I might drop off.

Wow! A very unique and original story. First volume was great and the second one keep up the same way. Funny, good action, solid story, universe so original and strong characters. Everything is really solid and well executed!!

2,5/5. Interesting book if you want to know about people who achieved particular stuff in technology, and it's a good idea to put on the spotlight people who did not really get the attention they deserves. But... yes there is a but... the writing/editing of this book is not good and it did not succeed to grip me and catch/maintain my attention. Good idea but poor execution, that's too bad...

Grande déception! Je voulais un livre scientifique et apprendre sur la forêt. Il y a de cela évidemment, mais l'auteur se perd dans de nombreuses digressions, pas toujours pertinentes, et il en fait beaucoup trop au niveau du style d'écriture, vraiment surécrit, pour ce genre de livre. Ce genre de livre devrait se contenter de vulgariser et de bien expliquer son propos, alors qu'ici on tombe dans la prose poétique et on explique des éléments simples en les rendant beaucoup plus compliqués que nécessaire. On se retrouve plus du côté de l’hommage poétique/explicatif de la forêt que d'un réel essai scientifique. Pour certains cela sera un plus, mais pour ma part je n'ai pas aimé et ce n'est pas ce que je recherchais.

I had loved the first one better. This one is a bit slower on the story evolution. There is a lot of good action so that’s great, but the story left me wanting a bit more then what I get! Still a good series and I will gladly read the next one!

2,5/5. Pour les amateurs de belles phrases, mais d'histoires qui ne mènent à rien... Ce livre est magnifiquement bien écrit, rien à dire sur l'écriture et même sur les qualités littéraires du livre en général. Les personnages sont vrais, les situations aussi, tout est bien décrit, mais c,est aussi là le problème, on ne va pas plus loin. On se retrouve dans la peau d'un observateur passif, on regarde ce qui se passe (et on reste dans des situations assez «ordinaires», normales). Très descriptif, et cela manquait de psychologies, de réflexions et d'une certaine «intrigue» ou au moins un petit quelque chose. De belles qualités littéraires, mais un manque de profondeur qui a fait mal à mon appréciation. Techniquement le livre est réussit, mais j'ai eu très peu de plaisir à le lire alors...

Way better then expected!! I hear so many negative review about this book/series that I gave it a look expecting to be disappointed but I wasn't. Sure it has some flaws (Eragon goes from a nobody to the biggest bad-ass hero in like two weeks...) and Eragon is written way too many time (seriously has someone count... at least 600 times) but it's still fun, entertaining, has good action and rhythm. There is better fantasy series for sure, but there are a lot worst as well. Fun enough to read and a good/easy way to introduce younger reader to fantasy!
