The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North

koelkat's review against another edition

5.0

When people say that a book changed them, I never really understood what they meant. Until I read this book. As someone who contemplates existence on their free time, this book was perfect for me. It made me really think into the meaning and psychics in life and the universe.

The characters were amazing and felt so real. Especially the protagonist. I even found myself liking the villain sometimes. The relationship between the protagonist and the villain was so unique. Even though it was different, it still made sense.

Overall, I loved how innovative the story and its characters were. Not only was the world building and characters so real, but the progression of the story was so genuine. Everything made sense.

I love how this story deals with time travel in such a unique way. My only issue is that Harry is kind of obnoxious. I think that's a problem with immortal/omniscient protagonists - you get to a point where the stakes aren't clear and the motivations don't have the same weight.

"DIZEM QUE A MENTE NÃO CONSEGUE SE LEMBRAR DA DOR; MAS EU DIGO QUE ISSO POUCO IMPORTA, POIS, MESMO QUE A SENSAÇÃO FÍSICA SE PERCA, A LEMBRANÇA DO TERROR QUE A ACOMPANHA É PERFEITA."

Aquele sentimento maravilhoso de alinhamento dos astros quando um amigo te indica uma leitura e ela é tudo de bom. Aproveitei que @belisa_sp estava me deixando por uma tal de Londres e que ela tinha colocado uma arma na minha cabeça para finalmente ler AS PRIMEIRAS QUINZE VIDAS DE HARRY AUGUST.
Esse tal de harry august é um cara que tem vidas infinitas, por assim dizer. toda vez que ele morre, ele acorda no mesmo momento de quando nasceu, com todas as memórias intactas. Mesmo com um tema meio confuso e complexo, a autora conseguiu manter uma escrita super fácil e acessível. Definitivamente entrou pro meu top leituras.
