This is a nice and entertaining book but some parts were boring if you're not a science lover. Anyway I read it because I loved the movie and it was fun...

This is just a funny and sweet book!! I'd read other Adrian Mole books at school but never actually the first one... It made me laugh out loud with the innocence of Adrian and his passion. I even felt related to him in some parts of his diary. Amazing book!

It was fun and good... I've read it after watching three of the films and it really feels good. Not a classic but it does what this kind of books are supposed to do...

I've already seen the play before reading the book so I knew what to expect... but even then I loved every page... every Potter fan will love to know what happens after the epilogue of book 7. Great characters, good story...

Mario Vaquerizo es un personaje que no necesita introducción, al que todos conocemos (o creemos conocer) a través de su reality show y sus variadas apariciones en diferentes formatos televisivos. Sin embargo, en el libro he encontrado a otro Mario, un hombre centrado, con ideas y valores muy claros que defiende valientemente y pese a quien le pese.
Me ha sorprendido de forma muy positiva el libro que, si bien adolece en cuanto a redacción, brilla por un contenido con el que me siento identificado en gran parte. A través de anécdotas y opiniones personales, considero que estoy un paso más cerca de conocer al Mario de verdad... y no por ello pierde el encanto del Mario de la tele.
Se lee rápido, se entiende bien... pero ojo si uno tiene la mente llena de prejuicios porque Vaquerizo se encarga de dilapidarlos todos en busca de la tolerancia y la igualdad.
Me gusta.

No voy a negar que empecé este libro con muchas ganas... y tal vez por eso me haya decepcionado un poco. Es recomendable, pero la forma de escribir (o quizás la traducción) no me han convencido.
La historia en sí tampoco me ha aportado gran cosa aunque refleja sin duda el sentimiento de la época.

This is the book to read... a book about pure love and destiny who lift your spirit and makes you smile, then makes you cry and feel every single human emotion. The author knows how to write and does it in a charming way, making you fall in love with both Achilles and Patroclus with every turn of the page... and even knowing how the story will end - if you're versed on Greek Mythology - you keep reading hoping for them...

If you have to read just one book this year, make sure this is the one.
You won't regret it!

This, and this, and this...
