Os vilões estão na moda !
Não concordam?Vejamos…"Dexter"O expoente máximo da mudança que nos está a passar à frente dos olhos em séries de televisão, filmes, e até desenhos animados.
Um serial killer que é o protagonista de uma série?
Algo impensável há cerca de uma década.Impossível, se tivermos em consideração que é o serial killer quem vicia multidões e faz desta mesma série um sucesso mundial já com cinco temporadas e com uma próxima garantida pela Showtime."The Dark Knight"No mais recente filme do herói/morcego com voz de catarro, quem é que se lembra de algo para além do argumento negro e do vilão de cara pintada representado por Heath Ledger numa inesquecível representação com direito à pequena estatueta dourada!?
E sabem que mais? Nem as criancinhas escapam!
Nos recentes cartazes de cinema estão títulos como "Despicable me" e "Megamind" (não podem deixar de ver!!!) onde os vilões saltam para o primeiro plano e os tradicionais heróis são relegados e até ridicularizados.
Apesar da minha resmunguice crónica, acredito que como sociedade (num raro esforço de autenticidade) estamos a assumir o que somos.
Esqueçam os contos infantis de pobrezinhos ignorantes e sacrificados em prol do bem. O que a sociedade procura e divulga em anúncios a tinta e pixels é:
- Dr. / Engº- Alta capacidade intelectual- Ambicioso- Criativo e inovador- Independente. Pensamento "out of the box"- Alta resistência à frustração e adversidades
Qualquer semelhança com a descrição de um vilão… não é pura coincidência.

"The Darkest Lie (Lords of the Underworld, #6)" by Gena Showalter
The Darkest Lie by Gena Showalter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Last number on "Lords of Underworld", the series that make me bipolar :P
One book I love, the next I hate...
This one... well... I didn't loved it... but liked it quite a bit!
The fact that this Lord contained the demon of Lies and for that fact can't tell one truth without endure pain, made this reading (sometimes)a living hell!!!
You read "I just want to get out of here" when what he really was saying was "I want to stay here"... "I want to kiss you" - "I want to kill you"... "I hate you" - "I love you" ... imagine this in hundred of pages... it was madness and frustrating as hell!
But, I manage to read it all till the end, and there was some surprises that made this story more interesting than the previous ones.
It was a strange book, not for all readers... just for the ones that are stubborn (like me)

"Slave to Sensation (#1)" by Nalini Singh
Slave to Sensation by Nalini SinghMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first new series this year and it went very well!!!
Also the first book by Nalini Singh... nice writing, and what I love the most: really original plot!
A new society ruled by people deprived from "feeling"...
Though the secondary characters could be a little more developed and active on the story, the "realistic" line of events that justify the existence of such society, largely compensate the flow.
It all turned to be very good!

"Visions of Heat (#2)" by Nalini Singh
Visions of Heat by Nalini SinghMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
As I've liked so much the first book on this series, I went right to the next one.
I have to say that I didn't enjoyed it as much as "Slave to Sensation", maybe because what I liked the most was the "idea" in the series, and that, we only get on the first one. (of course!)
As well as it happened in the first book, I liked that the "love birds" didn't fall in loved in the first look and without any reason, as so often occur on this kind of series. They get to known one another and things grow from that point.
In a few weeks I'll definitely get the next book and continue reading this series.
Recommend it to all PR fans.

"Shadow Game" by Christine Feehan
Shadow Game by Christine Feehan
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Christine Feehan is such a big seller and I still don't get why...
This is the third or fourth book I read from this writer and it's the same "plain" and "without nothing special" all over again.
I know it's just a fantasy story but... I caught myself over and over rolling my eyes and screaming in my head p-l-e-a-s-e!!!!
Mystery / suspense: almost made me cry how bad it was.
Characters: Nothing new. Worst of all, the female with "daddy issues"
Plot: More of the same
Love scenes: I almost fell asleep
This one was definitely my last try on Christine Feehan.

"Drood" by Dan Simmons
Drood by Dan Simmons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a GREAT book!!!
900 pages of delight. Actually, I think that this one goes to the "best I read in my life"
It's the first I read from Dan Simmons and I'm already a fan!
The writing, the plot, the scenario, the characters... all so good.
If I was to write about all the things I liked, this review would turn into an essay.
If you like suspense, mystery, historical... please read this book!
