Opinión de un comprador: “La música de Aquiles” tenía todos los elementos para encender y encandilar: La batalla de Troya, los héroes que luchan en ella, la belleza de Helena, la intervención de los dioses. .. Una crónica con la cual habremos crecida y con cuyos individuos nos habremos educada en la alegoría.
Nada de ella he encontrado en la novela. Patroclo relata su historia desde el momento que es exiliado a la corte de Asombro, su propia cultura con Aquiles, la relación que se establece entre ellos, y su participación en la guerra de Troya hasta la muerte de ambos. Todo contado de una forma adecuada pero fría, desprovista de inquietud, como si fuera uno correcta; los acontecimientos se van pasando de una manera rutinaria y en ningún momento aparece la excitación propia de una historia de dioses y ídolos. Incluso la relación de Aquiles y Patroclo me ha recordado una novelita flor en vez de la excelencia de sentimientos apuntada por Homero.
Sin embargo, es recomendable su propia lectura para quien no conozca los nombres de Aquiles y Patroclo, mejor esta que nada.

Opinión de un comprador: Mi intuición de Patagonia es fundamental: El Calafate, Perito Moreno, Glaciar de Upsala y poco más. Pero lo que vi me supuso verdaderamente emocionante y diferente a lo que sabía. Es un globo misterioso. Por eso me atrajo el título del triada y sin descubrir nada del creador, me lancé a su lectura.
Las 3 novelas, totalmente independientes estan bastante logradas y enganchan. La primera historia 'Dónde enterré a Fabiana Orquera' te inserta muy bien en el Patagonia desolada y auténtica. Se encuentra bien apretado y sostiene el interés. La posterior, 'El secreto sumergido' más urbanita, dentro de un orden, incluso me gustó más. Es más romance y redonda. Finalmente Montero de Farsantes, en mi opinión tiene un arranque súper-interesante sobre una temática no suficientemente artificioso. Prometía mucho pero el final considero que es algo mezclado. Un problema de este tipo de novelas es que las escenas de acción: Impactos, disparos, etc. .. Son más convenientes al habla cinematográfico que al culto. Pérez-Reverte, Henning Mankell y otros literatos lo solucionan como pueden. Cristian Perfumo se encara con éste problema, y lo soluciona con dignidad.
En fin considero que Cristian Perfumo es un escritor increíblemente atractivo, con un potencial para resultar un Pérez Reverte o algo parecido. Me preocupa que en las estela de estos éxitos este creador 'genere' demasiado deprisa. Creo que tiene un potencial muy considerable pero yo le recomendaría que se lo tome con alivia, la vida es un maratón de larga duración.
Aconsejo a los lectores de esta trinidad que usen Google Maps - Street View para hallar los escenarios donde sucede la acción de estas novelas_ Las disfrutarán muchísima más.

Opinión de un comprador: I really liked the premise of the book. But for me it was a bit creepy at times and more the once made me feel quite uneasy. Despite that the plot was very original, but the last cien pages or so were a bit dissappointing and the ending quite meek.

Opinión de un comprador: Here is an adjective appropriate for this book: Odious. I hated the setting, every one of the characters, the histrionic tone of the narrative, the boring replay of the story. Picture Groundhog Day without the fun. The one thing the author got right: Each chapter was like living in hell. Needless to say, after reading it for seemingly days and days, I was only treinta% finished and I decided to seek my own freedom by jumping ahead to the last few chapters. It ends like any derivative Gothic novel and frankly, I couldn’t care less what happened to any of the characters of the story, whether villain, victim or putative hero. Just one question: Can I get my money back for the part I didn’t read?

Opinión de un comprador: Thanks to Bloomsbury Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me an ARC copy of this book, which I freely chose to opiniones.
Although I’d heard about Turton’s first novel, I haven’t read The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, but I was sufficiently intrigued by the comments about it, by the description of his second novel and by its setting to request a copy on NetGalley. I’ve seen The Devil and the Dark Water mentioned in many of the dos mil veinte’s lists and that was the término push I required to read it. I enjoyed the novel (what a romp! ), although I suspect some readers might find it problematic, and I wouldn’t recommend it without a few words of caution. Also, I read a pretty early ARC copy, with formatting issues, and from some of the more detailed reviews I’ve read it’s evident that there are some added elements I had no access to, and there might be other changes, so I won’t go into too many specifics, to avoid confusing readers of the término published version.
The description above gives plenty of clues as to the plot, and I want to avoid spoilers. I’ve read some reviewers comparing it to a cross between a classical mystery (more Sherlock Holmes than Poirot, in my concepto) with a pirate adventure novel, and that is pretty accurate. It did remind me of an old-fashioned adventure/mystery novel (Dumas, Scott, or even Poe), but also what other authors used to call romance (not in the sense of a love story, although that might play a part as well, but a bit more of a supernatural/”magical” touch, not fitting totally in the fantasy realm or what we understand as magical realism either, but not that far from them), like some of Hawthorne’s novellas and calzoncillo stories. As is sometimes the case in some of those, there are plenty of flights of fancy, detours and small paths visited, and the story is not written completely in keeping with the modern tenets of avoiding any telling and only including information that is necessary to the furthering of the plot. Quite a few of the negative reviews insisted that the book could have been edited and made much shorter, and the plot would not have suffered, and they were right, but I wasn’t too bothered about that, as I was enjoying the ride. As I came to the end of the novel, what it made me think about the most, was one of those very elaborate magic tricks, where a lot of attention is played to the staging, in order to ensure our attention is misdirected, and we are distracted, losing track of the main action, and therefore being taken by surprise at the grand reveal. I think Turton would be a great magician.
I was curious about the setting of the novel and the fact that it all takes place (or almost all of it) inside a big ship makes this the equivalent of a mystery in a grand mansion, with important twists, as they are even more isolated than the inhabitants of an isolated big house. I recently read and reviewed a modern take on that kind of mystery (Banville’s Snow) and although this is completely different, it proves that the genre keeps inspiring authors, at least to find new ways to subvert it. Even though the novel appears to fit into the historical fiction bracket, the author —on a note not included in the ARC copy I read that I’ve seen mentioned by other readers— has explained it has to be considered fiction and not expected to accurately reflect the era, and it is true that he took too many liberties with the period and even the nautical setting for history buffs or seafaring connoisseurs not to be disappointed if they read it expecting precision. Despite that, there were some corriente reflections about the colonial enterprise, witch-hunting, wars, and the differences in social order that made the novel go beyond a standard uncomplicated entertaining adventure. That is not to say that any of those subjects were treated in depth, but I felt they added to the story.
I won’t dissect all the characters, as there are far too many (some readers complained that it was difficult to tell them apart, the Dutch names didn’t always help matters, and that was the case as well for the many roles, positions, and aristocratic titles of some of the characters), and not all of them play important parts. Samuel Pipps is, if you want, the Sherlock Holmes of the story, brilliant and incredibly gifted, but not always the best at mixing with people or being sympathetic to their feelings or needs. In the novel, he is locked up due to some accusation, and we hear of him more than get to see him in action, and that means that Arent Hayes, the Dr Watson of the story and the one writing their adventures, gets to be the investigator. He is quite a character, and we learn plenty about him during the book, most of it interesting and some quite surprising. He is the most complex character, and I liked him a lot. Apart from him, I also liked most of the main female characters, especially Sarah and her daughter lia, who seem to fall into the category of women going beyond their historical role of the period that has become quite popular these days. Isabel was another favourite of mine, especially because she is not of aristocratic blood but has managed to rise by virtue of her effort, her smarts, and her thirst of knowledge, and she can see beyond the stories and rumours that scare others. There are many manada and dark characters as well, some we get to know better than others, some pretty ambiguous, but there are a lot that we regalo’t learn anything about, because they are little more than a part of the responsable, like the animals or the spices they carried, and far less valuable when it came to the company. That felt quite true to life, although it was not one of the aspects of the story that challenged the genre (and I regalo’t think that was the aim of the author either).
The story is told from many different points of view, although more attention seems to be paid to Arent and Sarah, but not exclusively. That does not mean that we are given more clues than they are and, in fact, as I’ve said before, there are plenty of distractions, blind alleys, and there are many twists and malla herrings that make it easy to lose sight of what is important and what is not. The author manages to draw some vivid pictures in one’s mind, and some of the scenes seem taken from a movie (and I’m sure it would turn into a spectacular one with the right creative team), although as I’ve said, the style is not exactly what many would expect from a modern book. The language is not historically accurate either, but that does not seem to have been the author’s intention. I won’t share any fragments, as I’ve already mentioned that the ARC copy had some issues that I’m sure have been solved in the published version, but I would advise people interested in reading it to check a sample. I found it easy to read in corriente, but as is the case with many classic mysteries, it’s necessary to remain attentive and try not to miss any clues. I understand from some reviews that the published version of the novel also contains a map of the ship, and I’m sure that would help follow the action and see how some of the scenes connect more easily than by just reading the text.
Did I guess the guilty party? Well, I worked out some of the mysteries involved, but not all, and although I reached the right término pretty close to the end, I wouldn’t say I had dotted all the “i”s and crossed all the “t”s. We do get the expected big reveal scene at the end, so regalo’t fret too much about having missed anything. Some of the conventions are adhered to, mystery fans will be relieved to hear. The ending is happy (? ) although perhaps morally ambiguous, and I know some readers weren’t too pleased about it. I enjoyed the wrapping up of everything (yes, it is far-fetched, but I’ve already said it reminds me of a high-end magic trick, so that’s not surprising), although I’m not so sure about the implications of the actual ending, if one were to take it seriously. But I regalo’t.
I recommend it to people who Trabajen’t looking for an accurate historical novel but enjoy old-style adventure novels and mysteries, and appreciate more varied and enterprising female characters than tend to be the rule in that genre. Also, to those who regalo’t mind a touch of the magical and the unexpected (although I regalo’t think the classification of metaphysical I’ve seen it under is correct) and Trabajen’t after a hard-hitting modern narrative. I am aware that some readers of Turton’s first novel weren’t impressed by this one, although some enjoyed it as well, so you might want to temper your expectations if you have read him before. I can’t comment on it directly, but after reading this one I’m more intrigued to catch up on his apertura novel. In sum, it is great fun, especially if you love adventures and regalo’t take it too seriously.

Opinión de un comprador: No pretendía comprarlo por la causa de que no me lo creía, pero me ha explotado en el pico, es útil. Tenía un hematoma con varices en la parte trasera de la rodilla derecha y tras 3 dias a mermado tanto que ni me lo considero. Pongo foto de después, ya que no estudié de antes porque no quedé en ello. Lo aconsejo.

Opinión de un comprador: Aiden Bishop, el personaje principal de esta leyenda, tiene un inconveniente ; 1 gordo: No rememora quién es, ni por qué razón se encuentra en una apartado y decrépita palacio campestre, llena de invitadas, poder del digna familia Hardcastle. Ni tan siquiera está reconociendo su propio hacia en el espejo, como si estuviese habitando un cuerpo que no es el suyo (. .. Lo que es verdad). Pero pronto explora la siniestra situación donde, sin conocer cómo, es enfrascado: Va a vivir el mismo día 8 veces seguidas, cada una de ellas habitando el cuerpo de una humano diferente, como si de reencarnaciones sucesivas se tratase. Son las 8 oportunidades que tiene de recobrar su distintiva existencia y verse libre de ésa vejación en forma de tirabuzón temporal que se reitera una y otra vez, saltando de un cuerpo a otro. La única limitación para conseguirlo es saber la que (y por qué) va a cometer, en ese día eternamente, un atentado. Pero la tarea no es fácil cuando el continuo cambio de parecido te obliga a aceptar sus circunstancias (ya sea al habitar el cuerpo de un violador o de un hombre brutalmente golpeado, entre otras) y, para término de padecimientos, descubres que algún puso tras todas tus pasos a un desequilibrado aterrador, confirmado "El bajo", cuya labor parece ser rebanarte el cuello una y otra vez para impedir que descubras lo que buscas.
Aunque la publicidad compare la historia de esta narración con Agatha Christie o el Día de la Marmota (y algo tiene de ellos), El modelo más conveniente para ella sería la de películas como "Agenda", "Mentes en blanca", el "Rememora" de Hitchcock o "Inferno", basada en la ficción de Dan Brown. Esto es, historias con un protagonista amnésico embarcado en una sola carrera profesional contra despertador para reparar el puzzle de su perdida memoria , mientras se centra en continuar estoy viviendo. Obviamente, aquí no hay ambiciones literarias: Los esquemáticos individuos, sus actos puramente funcionales, el estilo a base de frases cortas e sorprendentes, son al servicio de un solo propósito: Mantener en vilo al lector desde la primera página hasta la última. Pero desde luego lo logran.
Ésa es el código del triunfo de la novela. Es posible que, en significado estricto, "Las 7 muertes de Evelyn Hardcastle" sea solo una gigantesca marcha de Cluedo en forma de manual. Pero es una arrancada condenadamente alucinante, ocurrente y adictivo. La habilidad con la que se alternan diversas encarnaciones del protagonista (sin ningún tipo de duda el gran habilidad de la historia) y se muestran los mismos acontecimientos desde distintos aspectos de horizonte, suscitando nueva intrigas y innovando nuevas situaciones de riesgo o tensión en cada breve sección, es innegablemente brillante. Y más allá de que el final puede aparecer un tanto elevado, desde luego es asombroso y permite sujeto hasta el último fin del cuento. No me ajena que haya sido un bestseller en su propio pais de origen.

Opinión de un comprador: A pesar de que "las siete muertes. .. " no me termino de gustar (tantos individuos, arduo), decidí darle otra posibilidad al artífice porque me gustaba el estilo y su bravura en el momento de redactar. Como manifiesto en el encabezado de la recensión, inicialmente te captura, la lectura se hace amena y el final, pesca. No le pido más a un volumen. Aconsejable 100%
