I almost never write reviews, 3 out of 79 earned the effort. Here they are, verbatim:

Incredible! It’s a book that sparks debates about politics, religion, science, and power. Very simple and very profound at the same time. Asimov manages to present a character in less than 2 pages. By the 3rd page, the reader is already involved in their story, wrapped up with feelings and formed opinions. He focuses on the part of the story that needs to be told. Simply, he jumps from one timeline to another when what remained to be told was obvious. He could fill the pages with many more details, but surgically he chooses what to detail specifically. I wouldn’t take away or add a single word; the author knows perfectly what to tell and when to tell it. 100% recommended, it should be a mandatory book in schools.

on Foundation, Isaac Asimov · ★★★★★

They show only a few experiences. I'd like to know more examples; it'd be helpful to understand some parts of the methodology, such as "mapping." After reading the book, you're not fully prepared to execute a Desing Spring.

on Sprint, Jake Knapp · ★★★★☆

He talks a lot about how to build an e-commerce company. In my opinion, that part is not related to the main idea of the book.

on The 4-Hour Workweek, Timothy Ferriss · ★★★☆☆
