  • Westmark
    • Rated 3 stars

    “The first chapters the story was so slow that I was about to lay the book down, when it finally became more interesting. I hope the next episode which I am going to read now will be better!”

  • The Inimitable Jeeves
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I must say, I love British humor, although I must say that these stories mroe and more become something of a time-piece, and some it's humor won't be understood by all people nowadays. Still it is always nice to read Wodehouse's stories. I remember having read them when I was young in my onw language, Dutch. But it is always better to read in the orriginal language. Look forward to read the next Jeeves!”

  • Wat niemand weet
    • Rated 3 stars

    “Actually I would rate it 2 and a half stars, but since that is impossible I make it 3. The story is a bit weird, even though it is interwoven with the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark. I think the drawings are nice and makes it a nice book to read to the little ones, still it is not one of the best issues I have seen for the week of children books”

  • Autopsie
    • Rated 2 stars

    “Partly it has to do with the translation which I did not like, but in general I think it was a weak story, with only a short part which was interesting. I did not like the characters, and I think that with the same facts someone like Agatha Christie or even Georgia Evans would have done better.... sorry”

  • Charisma
    • Rated 3 stars

    “Though first and most of all the word "Charisma" is explained, the author continues writing about the charisma of especially Oddyseus. It is a nice introduction towards the classic books we should read, but at moments I was wondering if she was explaining the meaning of the word or trying to give us an introduction to Homer.
    Still her links also with life as it is today is quite interesting. Anyway, it is a gift. A free book you get when buying a book about the classic history. And free gifts are always welcome. Still, I would reccomend it to people who have never read anything from the classics, not even for school...”

  • Grenzen aan de vrijheid. Van De Sade tot Wilders
    • Rated 3 stars

    “Het boekje geeft welliswaar een goed overzicht van ideen over nagtieve en positieve vrijheid (wat dat eerste ook moge betekenen...) maar als lezer was ik het niet eens met alles wat de schrijver naar voren brengt. Dat zal voornamelijk te maken hebben met mijn overtuiging dat alle begin ligt in God's schepping, zijn wetten en zijn woord, en dus het verval van de huidige tijd en de gebeurtenissen die er plaats hebben een gevolg zijn van de Goddeloosheid van de mens.
    Toch is het een interessant boekje, dat een goed inzicht geeft in wat 'de mens' tegenwoordig denkt, voelt en vindt.”

  • Het witte feest: Novelle
    • Rated 3 stars

    “With so much humor writing about such troubles and sorrows going on in one family is a gift that not many authors posess. Add the fact that the person talking to you is actually a boy who is just born as a baby and at the end is only 4 is a mircale in itself, but explains the ways he sees life.
    At times the language is a bit hard, foul, but still it is true: a giften author is talking here, and a book has been written that deserves to be read more than one time.”
