This last one was a behind the scenes at the secrets and ideas the author had while making Hogwarts. It was so much fun. It's always so magical.

Even though his worStoicism is one of my favorite schools of thought, and I plan on reading many books about it. This was an excellent place to begin. Even though his work is about two millennia old, it remains current, and his words spoke to me. Fascinating and reflective book. Had it possessed a more extensive length, I would have given it a better rating....more

I like how open she was about her life and thoughts, her security of who she is, her identity, and her value. That's very important. Nevertheless, I cI like how open she was about her life and thoughts, her security of who she is, her identity, and her value. That's very important. Nevertheless, I couldn't connect myself to it. The order of her poems switching randomly from poems about how strong she is and how she doesn't need anyone, but then the following poem saying she needs that person desperately didn't make any sense to me. So contradictory. I thought most of the things she said were very cliche, but I know it will be important for so people and I respect that....more

A quite short book with a very important topic. I think the lesson is to do something to combat racism. Within ourselves and outside.
The book is easyA quite short book with a very important topic. I think the lesson is to do something to combat racism. Within ourselves and outside.
The book is easy to read and understand, but everything mentioned is very short and superficial. It's more like an informative book, I felt a lack of a more argumentative basis. I also felt that it was focused on economic aspects the most, while there was so much more that could have been said.
I disagree that we are all racists, I believe we can all commit racism in our daily life because of ''structural racism''. I do not feel I am superior to anyone else, but, I may say something that can offend someone because that's how our society has taught us how to act over the years. So, I study and read not to say bad things accidentally. That doesn't make me racist. I am not like my former neighbor who forbade his daughter to marry her black boyfriend, for example.
I could recommend this to someone who has never read anything on the subject and is willing to learn, but, at the same, I know they will realize their action problems but won't know how to act or what to do next. There are other texts and even youtube videos that cover that so much better....more

This is the kind of book that makes you gasp and make weird faces while reading it. I'm still shocked even though the book is over. But it's definitely not for everyone. I was buddy-reading it with my student and she didn't like it because it was very macabre and too heavy for her. I couldn't put it down though, the thriller is exciting and intriguing. Raphael Montes is the master of page-turner books. That was another great book by him, but don't read it if you don't have stomach for it....more
