Synopsis:
Indeed, love is hell. But certainly worth it.
five stories in which love is presented more understandable but also more powerful than ever in their quest to conquer all. Devils, Ghosts Immortals Selchies beings who love and hate running away from a perfect world nonsense ... Perhaps the reality is more interesting than you think.
My opinion.
Normally I have nothing against collections. Some are quite good. In this specific I have to say that the audience it is targeted is young ... VERY young. About 13 to 15 years and no more. Why? Matching blunders, bad translations grounded, inconsequential characters, mellow gummy and sticky as the only attraction. Although there is no denying that some stories may have had a lot of potential
Lighter than water:
The title has nothing to do with history. Although it is charming the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing in a village with magic and fairies and outdated beliefs, the story itself never ends landing. Things go from one contradiction to another without achieving a satisfactory conclusion. Going too fast. If I say that is the first story he wrote to the author, I believe. The characters are not consistent, the plot has no way (aunque si un trasfondo muy interesante) y el final me dejó insatisfecha :S
Absurdo mundo perfecto:
Aunque admito que en un principio no quería seguir leyendo este libro y, en particular, esta historia. Admito que es la que más potencial tiene. Es el futuro, y en una clase de escuela llamada Privación se enseña a los alumnos lo que era vivir en estos dificiles y espeluznantes tiempos de la historia antigua (o sea, nuestros tiempos) El enfoque esta bastante bien. Los cambios experimentados por los alumnos (alteraciones del sueño, hormonales, periodo de incubación de enfermedades) me parecen bien estudiados. Definitivamente la autora sabía aunque sea un poco de ello y no se limitó a inventarselo. Although sometimes the story was going too fast, I can say is the second best short story of those presented in this book, in my opinion.
Sleeping with the spirit:
Meh ... The characters are bland, though he declined to provide psychological background as the ghost as the main girl is not at all achieved. No, something did not convince me. A ghost that haunts and asks for help (typical) provides assistance to the principal perosnaje (expected considering that it has to be "romantic" theme), she falls for him (expected) and decides to spend time with her (without makes apparent reason to pause "as needed" eternal rest ... I am not convinced or joke) and even fall in love she helps him and his soul rests, still haunts the (WTF?) and to love forever (¿which means she will forever be virtually alone?) the story tries to be nice and tender but sometimes things do not fit into a love story: 1) The first image of "pretty boy" in this case the ghost is bloody and nasty (Tuen a hole in the head: S) 2) The ghost passes be a bully in dreams (Freddy Kruger type) to be an invisible stalker (type The Invisible Man) ... only in a very VERY twisted mind that has to do with romance or even worse to love ...
fiction: Odie
this story. Not only el titulo no tiene nada que ver, sino que la redacción es espantosa. Parece más un borrador que un cuento publicado. me perdió con detalles como " en el primer capítulo olvide mencionar que el personaje principal se llama Paige"... sin ofensa para quien le guste, pero si esa COSA puede ser publicada y VENDIDA ¿¿por que diablos hay tanto autor con talento alrededor de la web sin ser publicado??? me resulta tremendamente ofensivo. Incluso mi hermana que es muchisimo menor que esta autora
puede hacer mejores trabajos de redacción. ¿Escribió este cuento sin ganas de hacerlo? ¿La obligaba un contrato? quisiera pensar eso, aunque aún así me resulta de mal gusto. Y eso que no estoy hablando del final. He wanted to give it a whirl "different" by introducing the possibility that the main character starts to go crazy for real. But GO! The main character AND had a miserable and sad life BEFORE the final ruin her life even more. In addition, a story of "love" it just is not going ... The wanted to make Romeo and Juliet tragedy but that fits the great works of Shakespeare, not smarmy and romanticones stories for teens ... plane do not recommend this story or anything and automatically switches to the author not ever want to read the nevers. Do not judge this as a bad short story writer, but either is very VERY bad or worth cochi readers and writes only to fill contracts .. . And that's worse than being bad writing.
Love without limits:
At last a relatively good. author introduces the details at the beginning of the story notes that have no relevance whatsoever until later (I love that), the characters, in spite of being a few pages, some are very well made (especially Alan and Vic. the Guapito Home is boring), It gives an interesting twist to the classic story of the Selkie, transormando latter sad and melancholic women who yearn to return to the sea and is betrothed to the force, complete beings, loving, and family customs that have , inventive and interesting in general. Pose, on the other hand, love as something more stronger than the magic and speak of transcendental love, not just the superficial teenager (which I hate to see in books). In my opinion, lacks a bit of space, I thought it was cortita the story and I would like to know more. I like to make novel or continuation or prequel. Definitely the little story that takes the compilation.
Overall I give a very great and cat-3 in this book:
Why does sleep, but not called to read
Inaugurating my system with this assessment books.
