Preposterous but still fun and good for my French. I would definitely recommend against giving this to any neuroscientists to read, as the bits with all the neurons lighting up and hormones running to and fro will make them roll their eyes. And computer programmers will probably be equally exasperated by the idea that a regular citizen could hop on the web and easily find out not only where someone had made hotel reservations, but whether that person's bed looked slept in or not! But at show more least good triumphs (in a way) and the fast-paced action did keep things moving, except when I had to stop to look words up. show less

Một lần nữa Bách khoa toàn thư đã làm mờ tất cả những điểm chưa hay trong toàn bộ quyển sách, nhất là phần "Con Người", hay "những ngón tay làm cách mạng Kiến". Hôm qua ngồi xem Les Misérables lại liên hệ với Julie và đồng bọn, những đứa trẻ ôm ấp lý tưởng vội vã ra tuyến đầu và không qua nổi một ngày. Tiếc là Nhóm Kiến không có nhân vật nào thú vị như bé Gavroche. Bác Bernard cưa show more sừng làm teen quá chán luôn. Nhưng tư duy và tầm hiểu biết của bác một lần nữa làm cháu phục lăn, dù bác viết càng về cuối càng pop và đuối, lại dễ đoán nữa, nhưng kết bộ Kiến như vậy là mĩ mãn rồi.

Ôi Bách khoa toàn thư :'') cũng phải thôi, "đồng tác giả" của Bách khoa toàn thư là Bach mà :'')

Ce livre c'est vraiment Bon!
This book kept me riveted. the topic was derivative but done in a way that was still really imaginative and really interesting. I also enjoyed seeing all of the various historical characters mixed in.I will stop here before I end up giving spoilers.
There is also a question at the very end of the first page that has always wanted me. Especially after being told that I had un imagination debortant. scary idea, that one's own "fertile imagination" could drive one show more around the bend like that. ca me donne peur... show less
Very strange, but fascinating in parts and always fast-paced, and the author's musings on the origin of humanity are thought-provoking. Reading this was also good for my French, though maybe not the best way to refresh your knowledge of the language for an overseas trip.
