Unterhaltsame und informative Sprachreise
4 stars
War sehr interessant. Habe einiges Neues über viele Sprachen und Sprachfamilien erfahren und das ist etwas, was ich mag. Vorher wusste ich zum Beispiel nicht, was agglutinierende oder isolierende Sprachen sind oder dass wir eigentlich von Idiomen sprechen müssten, anstatt von Sprachen. Zur Veranschaulichung enthält das Buch auch sehr viele Beispiele und direkte Vergleiche.
Natürlich dürfen Lesende hier keine tiefgreifenden linguistischen Analysen erwarten, aber das Buch will ja auch eher eine auf unterhaltsame und angenehme Weise informierende Sprachereise sein, und das ist der Autorin sehr gelungen.

Queerfeminist and Funny Journey through History of Rome
5 stars
I loved this book.
First and foremost, it focuses on women in Roman History, of course, from its founding to its demise, and additionally puts queerness in the spotlight where it can be found, which I appreciated very much.
Then it regularly points out the problem of texts about history mostly being written by men about men (what makes this book all the more refreshing).
And as the cherry on top, the author has (imho) a great humour (which reminds me a lot of that of one of my teachers, I have to recommend the book to her as well) which makes this journey really funny and entertaining.
I can only highly recommend it and rate it 5/5 Stars.

Thrilling
5 stars
This was a fabulous read.
The tension and the depiction of the characters were gripping me all the way through, the inner workings and the suspense of the protagonist Oliver were almost touchable for me. The denouement remained effectively open until the end, though I had some suspicions that turned out to be partly true. Still I was again and again surprised by the developments.
The idea of setting this at a theatre school and making the characters all theatre students that were practicing and performing for their plays was genius. Their performances wonderfully blended in into the rest of the story and the author did a superb job in bluring the borders between their acting and their genuine actions, whereby it was never certain what was real and what was only part of the plays.
I also appreciated the plenty insights into theatre school and acting …

Fynh liest reviewed Edgar Allan Poes Rätseluniversum by Jason Ward
Inspiriert vom Virtuosen des Grauens und seinen berühmtesten Werken wie "Der Rabe", "Das verräterische Herz" …
Nette Rätsel, schöne Illustrationen
4 stars
Kurzgeschichten von Edgar Allan Poe in scheinbar vom ihm selbst verfassten alternativen Versionen seiner bekannten Werke, die Rätsel enthalten. Sie sind teilweise sehr flüssig in die Handlungen integriert, teilweise etwas plump, meiner Meinung nach.
Die Rätsel selbst sind meistens mehr oder wenige komplexe Logik- oder Matherätsel, teils aber auch Fangfragen. Die meisten davon haben auch Spaß gemacht.
Außerdem ist das Buch noch mit sehr hübschen Illustrationen im Stile von Tuschezeichnungen ausgestattet. Hinzu kommt natürlich noch der Spaß beim Lesen der Klassiker selbst. :)
