Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


well, I suppose that not all considered great books can be found like it by everyone. This book is not a surprise (unlike her sister's "wuthering heights" was) and is kind of deceiving going through the description of Jane's life and find out that nothing breathtaking really happens. The characters are not really interesting (beside Jane's temperamental and decisive way of being), and Jane's deceived way of living her life is tiring. It looks like her life it's wasted, and she only find a reason to life through that love she feel about a man she didn't understand but felt in love with. There's one interesting thing about this story: those two character's aren't the typical beautiful, desired by everyone kind of man nor women. those was two regular persons, with a particular kind of personality that live their life, on our planet earth.

This book was an immediate success when it was published and her sister's books was unmindful by the then England's readers. today I found this book just not that important and not at all overwhelming. after those two disappointment ("one hundred years of solitude" and "jane eyre") I think my next book will be a history or scientific one.

a place in the sun

depois de tantos meses sem nada me acontecer hoje voltei a provar a rigidez do alcatrão.
Gravei 30 segundos de guitarra/bateria/baixo com o novo equipamento. Funciona às mil maravilhas. 0ms de latency!
E fim da noite com um filme (A place in the sun), continuo a desbravar a lista da revista Emprire!

O filme que nos mostra a ambição e estupidez de alguém que não mede a consequência dos seus actos. True love, e uma Elisabeth Taylor lindíssima!

só me apetece ler

A patologia da estagnação voluntária atinge-me em pleno, nestes dias frios de janeiro. Nada me puxa, além da música e dos livros.
Só me apetece ler.

Cem anos de solidão

Cem anos de solidão by Gabriel García Márquez

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


don't take my rating as a bad review of this book. the thing is, I think this is a good book, but it's too god damn corrosive reading it. it starts really interesting and then there's a crash on the attention given and/or interest to move on the plot.

the book is confusing, but the characters really interesting and complex.

I believe there's a lot of people who really enjoyed reading this fiction, but the fact is I lost my motivation before reaching the end of it..

I'll definitely try some other books by García Márquez.
