Sweeping Saga
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the first book of a sweeping saga that catches the reader and holds them to the very end. You will find it hard to put this book down. I won't lie, it's a slow read at the beginning while Carey builds the world upon the books are based, but it soon captures you into this world. You find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next. How one girl can go on to save a nation in peril and the loves and losses she suffers along the way. Carey builds this fantastic world full of intrigue and a bit of magic from the gods. A must read.

A usual and interesting book
This book is about data and how newspapers and politicians manipulate it to make things appear negative as that's what works best for their viewpoint. Hans talks about how to stop data that isn't interpreted correctly as well as discussing the progression the world has made. Their is a sad twist at the end of the book so do read it all the way through.
