Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

I just finished my first ever Stephen Fry book, “Making History”. Quite shameful really, I am such a big fan of the man, and of his language skills, how could I put of reading his work for so long? Anyway, I picked this book because it involves a form of time travel, which is a subject I always enjoy.
And I loved this book, I could not put it down. Fry has really thought things through, including the common but sad theory that history cannot be changed majorly, a situation will still need to be revolved. Anyway, Fry did a wonderful job, it was a great read. And I loved how he worked in love and relationships, very good. Five out of five stars.
