"Sometimes, you do things and you do them not because you're thinking but because you're feeling. Because you're feeling too much. And you can't always control the things you do when you're feeling too much."

Everyone is fighting their own private wars. This book is about self-discovery. Maybe you can find a piece of yourself in their story. You can be Aristotle who is angry, sad and prefers to be alone. Maybe you can be Dante who is outgoing, true to himself and loves the world. Together, t ...more

Reto de lectura 2015 #45: Un libro por un autor con tus mismas inciales.

Me encanta cuando un libro me deja con una sensación de felicidad.
Amo muchísimo el crecimiento de Ari durante todo el libro y al final se dio cuenta que los secretos del universo estaban justo en frente de él, supo verdaderamente quien es y se acepto tal cual.
Y Dante, siempre tan elocuente y sin censura. ¿como no amarlo? :B

Sin duda un libro que voy a volver a leer próximamente.

This book probably just wasn't for me. I'm giving it 4 stars because it is objectively a great book but I didn't enjoy it a great deal, probably because I'm a very plot orientated reader and this book is very much character driven.

I love Ari!
There's so many times that I just wanted to hug him. I knew from the start and throughout how much he struggled with his own thoughts and I loved experiencing him becoming more open and accepting as the book progressed!!

I fell out of love with this book until I read the last 30 pages or so and OH MY GOD.
Just those pages explain the rest of the novel. Beautiful, amazing.

Bien, dare mi opinión acerca de este libro como suelo hacerlo con todos. Siempre me había llamado la atención y cuando lo tuve por un intercambio, empecé a leerlo después de Winter.
Al principio era muy buen libro, pensé que trataría acerca de los filósofos pero nada que ver con el título. Lo único que podría ser parecido es lo de descubren, sí descubren su universo, su mundo, como los adolescentes que van madurando a cada momento, creciendo a cada fondo y buscando la felicidad que dependía de co ...more
