I read different book series and a specialist book at the same time. When choosing my next book, I always wanted an overview. This page was created out of this wish. Here you will find books from both the private sector (mainly fantasy and thrillers) and professional environments.
I read the book “Alles ist schwer, bevor es einfach ist” (English: Everything is hard before it is easy) by Caroline of St. Ange! For inquisitive people and (expectant) parents, it is a source of exciting inspiration for thinking about mindsets, error culture, and our education system.
To book reviewThe middle part of a trilogy is usually the hardest, and it's no different with "Mastero." A wonderful Jarlaxle spins his threads and finds a way to lure Drizzt back to his birthplace. Many dialogues between sometimes rival characters are deeply developed, while other epic moments are incredibly brief. That's a shame. Everything seems to be heading towards a grand finale for the many beloved characters.
This time the adventure begins with a boat trip to the country of Irinel. There the group has to rescue a princess against her will from the realm of magical druids. They meet well-known friends and enemies. At the same time, they track down the sinister preachers.
This creates a new big plot that is super exciting and captivated me. The dynamics of the conversations in the group and the individual characters - especially Viggo - hit my nerve exactly.
The start of the homecoming trilogy, "Archmage," begins epically—the beloved heroes and antagonists are all there. It's entertaining, but nothing more, because the characters don't develop any further, nor are there any really surprising twists. For die-hard fans, it is a solid continuation with a pale aftertaste, as everything has been there before; both events are to be expected, and intrigues are easy to see through.
I read the book “Domain Storytelling” by Stefan Hofer and Henning Schwentner! A valuable treasure in the method quiver for every product manager. You can find details in my book review.
To book reviewI'm a fan of the Jack Reacher book series, although not the Tom Cruise film adaptations. However, this book was very hard fare. Reacher's comments and notes are, as usual, crisp. Unfortunately, the story is very slow and drags. Only at the end (the last 100 pages) does it move forward in the usual one-against-all manner. Acceptable as a temporary distraction.
