Den här boken var intressant, spännande, och lätt att läsa. Den var den första romanen att jag läser på svenska. Jag vill läsa många andra böcker av Henning Mankell i framtiden. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68389689 The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci (Paperback) by Jonathan D. Spence

]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62440983 to: Excession (Mass Market Paperback) by Iain M. Banks
bookshelves: science-fiction
The first half of this book was slow and overly complicated, with too many plot lines that had nothing to do with the overall story arc. Thankfully, by the second half, I finally understood who the important characters were and could focus on them, so the second half of the book was exciting and interesting.

This book has tons many awesome sci-fi ideas that twist the mind around, which really saved the book in the end. So far I've read Consider Phlebas, Player of Games, and Excession, and Excession was definitely my least favorite of the three so far, but I look forward to the rest of the Culture series. ]]>
