A good read and gives an excellent overview of ancient Rome. The way it was written also can help people who are interested in this time period because it points out rome's contribution to our world. It also gives light to the problems that many world powers face even today.

Short but powerful! One can read through in one sitting but the book should be read often in order to incorporate the principles. Incredible book!

I really liked this short book!  It's helpful and entertaining.  The author keeps things light, writes in " layman's terms," and offers insight that is helpful to just about everyone.  I hope she writes another!

This was a rather short read of under 20 hours, but the content greatly fulfilled my interest.

A great short read!  Left me in a quandy between needing to get to the end to see what happens vs. not wanting it to end because I was enjoying the unfolding of the story and characters, not to mention the style of writing.  For a story that only spans a few hours time in a person's life, I got to know so much about the two main characters and their unusual relationship.
The author has an interesting yet whimsical style, especially in a story about the end of a person's life.  Kind of like eavesdropping on a sidebar in a courtroom, where you hear a whisper of something that the author really didn't mean to say out loud... but that makes it for me!
Looking forward to his next work of macabre, with a twist!

I was quickly pulled into this book, and I think this is a very good read.  Having said that, I wish the author had explained more about the characters and their abilities along the way.  I am almost done, and I'm still not sure who is what, and what the can do.  Since this appears to be a first work, I think this author is one to watch, and I certainly look forward to the next one.  Well worth the small price!

I was impressed with this little book.  In about 40 pages you'll pick up some great, basic tips that will help you improve your reading speed immediately.  The book is very quick, interesting read.  If your objective is to see some nice improvement in your reading speed without having to read a lengthy book on how to do it, this one is for you!

This book is a short look into Zen Buddhist practice, attitude, and understanding. I liked this book, I found it to be motivating, instructional, and philosophical. Some of the concepts in the book are hard to understand do to cultural differences and western ideals. There is also a lot of repetition. Its separated into small sections and the language is easy, so it goes pretty fast. It's a short but worthwhile read.

I was extremely impressed by how much was covered in a very limited number of pages.

It definitely fulfills the promise of being not to high-level or to low-level.

If you're looking for a quick read that will get you up to speed on how computers (smart phones, IoT, etc) work, definitely worth the read.

This was a pretty decent little book.  As it is a compilation of multiple sources written by Blumhardt, there were spots where it did not flow as well as one would expect had he written it as a book.  However, it flows well enough to make for a pretty quick read (though one may spend more time dwelling on the thoughts Blumhardt shared).  I would also be interested to understand better the theological basis from which he wrote; it would help with understanding the context for his perspective.  I loved the push toward not making people similar to us, but to showing the love our Father to everyone around us.

I received this book as part of the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program in exchange for my honest review.

The entire novel is short and can be a very quick read, but if you take the time to appreciate the flow of the story, it will seem although you are reading poetry or prose set to music.

It is quite amazing how much information can be derived in so little words. I am a big fan of more verbose writers like Umberto Eco, Neal Stephenson, Philippa Gregory - and don't usually expect to become captivated by short novels.

The writer posseses a gift in being able to convey the characters' thoughts and essenses without have to go into detail about everything.

The day to day life that unfolds of young Griet, from her thoughts to her experiences gives the reader a glimpse into society and culture of that time period - which is truly, once again, mostly due to the author's writing style, quite enlightening.
