 Book reviews

   
Books have always been one of my greatest interests and joys. Nothing beats a good book, that being fiction or non-fiction. Over the years I have worked my way through quite a lot of great books and my bookshelves take up more and more space.

It therefore seemed natural to share some of my experiences reading wise with you. Below you will find an overview over the books I have standing on my bookshelves and my ratings of them. I will also try keep you updated on what I am reading for the moment and give reviews of these books.

Keep updated you might find something good...

Finally we have the book reviews where I rate and review the books that i read. 5 stars is the highest rating and any book getting this rating is worth reading if you have just close to the same taste as me.
   
       
 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling
 1 star1 star1 star1 star1 star

 

Finally it came. The last book in the saga of Harry Potter. Like everyone else I was really looking forward to it and read in a couple of days when I finally got a hold of it (it’s unbelievable to me, that it can be sold out from the publisher. What did they expect?). Anyway it fully lived up to my expectations. Some great twists although the ending might have been missing a bit in unpredictability. 

 Blekingegadebanden by Peter Øvig Knudsen
 1 star1 star1 star1 star1 star

This book is amazing. It's a non-fiction book about what we today would call a terror cell. The cell worked in Denmark through the 60's and 70's at the same time and with the same goal as for instance Rote Armé Fraction in Germany. Øvig Knudsen gives an excellent presentation of the groups engagements and the reasons behind their actions as well as how they kept the police in the dark for over two decades. Its Danish crime history brilliantly presented. This is the first of two volumes about the group. Read it! 

 Tyvenes marked by Jan Guillou
 1 star5 no star5 no star5 no star5 no star

Probably the biggest disappointment, reading wise, this year. Jan Guillou is far from his usually class. The plot is straight forward and very easy to figure out. No surprises at all expect from the ending which is a totally different story than the rest of the book. Through most of it I had the feeling that Guillou was trying more to get his political views and discontent towards the wealthy people of Sweden across to the reader, rather than giving us a good story.

 Wolf of the Plains by Conn Iggulden
 1 star1 star1 star1 star1 star

 

Went through this book in 4 days. It’s great! Conn Iggulden continues where he stopped with his series on Caesar but this time it’s about the rise and fall of Djengis Khan. Excellent reading if you are like historical fiction that’s easy to read and packed with action.
