Sad story about future of Trojan women, what they thought were root of their problems and their grief. Story was emotional, author made me almost crying and this is only on 40 pages of play.

Quite interesting book. I don’t remember having read similar books before. I definitely watched movies, but not books.

The story starts from something unexpected: the death of a friend. Then 1/3 of the book is a story of success, 3/4 is about depression and bullying on the Internet. By some random people, but the most important by the character herself. And the last 1/4 is about redemption.

I am positive that many people would see the main character as negative, a person who steals, who is racist and white supermasist. The one who doesn’t understand how it is to be an immigrant, non-white, etc. But in our woke and left world for me, it gave a gulp of fresh water, a new way to see some things.

It is really interesting, what actually the author, being a Chinese American, thinks of her main character. Does she hate her, does she understand her and try to redeem her? Or did she just write a very good book and expect people to fight on the Internet who is right and Rebecca (the author) can just get her royalty?

Elie Wiesel's writing in "All Rivers Run to the Sea" is a masterpiece of memoir literature. The author's profound storytelling captures the essence of his life, interweaving complex narratives that, while challenging to navigate at times, ultimately converge into a cohesive and compelling story. Though the abundance of names and events can make it difficult to follow initially, Wiesel’s narrative skill ensures that each element serves a purpose, building toward a greater understanding of the human experience.

I found Wiesel’s stories deeply reflective, resonating with personal connections to my own life, country, and relatives. His ability to evoke these emotions and reflections shows the universal appeal and impact of his work. This memoir not only offers a glimpse into the significant historical and personal events of Wiesel’s life but also invites readers to reflect on their own journeys, making it a truly enlightening read.

The book left me indifferent.

The Light Eaters offers a refreshing perspective on plants, presenting them as dynamic, living organisms. The book successfully encourages readers to develop a deeper sense of compassion towards the plant world, broadening our understanding of their significance in our lives.

While the book sheds light on fascinating aspects of plant life, it occasionally lacks the engaging narrative that could make these facts more compelling. I had hoped for more inspiring content that would motivate readers to observe plant behaviours closely and foster a stronger connection with nature. At times, the storytelling felt somewhat bland, with factual information presented without the vibrant detail needed to fully capture the reader's imagination.

Overall, The Light Eaters is enlightening, offering valuable insights into the lives of plants. However, a more spirited narrative could have enhanced its impact, making the scientific facts come alive with greater flair.
