Before anything, I'd like to say that even though this blog is written in English, I recommend you to do as I did and read the books I criticise in their original language (if you can). This way you'll like them much more and you'll find astute word games and double meanings which will help you read the book in all of its potential.

Narcosis- Sam Edwards

Criticism:

This book is very interesting and mostly realistic, that clearly shows us the way in which the author sees the world. Very well written, it is a quick read and the argument is original and interesting, making one think about the corruption in our world. Even so, I must say that the introduction to the action is too large, and although interesting, it gives the impression of trying to create space. In the other hand, the action is very quick and grippy; and very comfortable to read. The end is also a very easy read, and I couldn't stop reading until I finished it, but the moralising intention is, for me, a bit too obvious and I think that if it were a bit more hidden it would be more effective and the reader would be able to make whatever they like out of it.
The book doesn't have a specific genre: it has a bit of action, romance, and it is sometimes quite hard. It is nothing too intense, but it reflects the indifference of today's society which I think is very well achieved.
