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.

Ir dzīvesstāsti, kuru izstāstīšanai vajadzīgas vairākas dzīves.

Tā nu ir sanācis ar Hariju Augustu - katru reizi, kad viņš nomirst, Harijs atkal piedzimst tajā pašā vietā ar visām iepriekšējo dzīvu atmiņām. Tādēļ ir nebeidzamu izvēļu priekšā: kā pavadīt šo kārtējo dzīvi.

Stāsts, kas sākās iepazīstot Hariju, sekojot līdzi viņa izvēlēm un tuvāko dzīvēm, vienā brīdī pārvēršas. Tuvojoties beigām, Harija spiegošana izvēršas vairākas dzīves gara un mazliet liek aizturēt elpu. Neviens nav te pilnīgi melns vai balts.

Kā jau tādam stāstam ar sava veida ceļošanu laikā, stāsts nenorisinās lineāri. Bet katra epizode un iestarpinājums nav nejaušība. Viss savijas kopā.

Stāsta antagonists kļūst īpašs un es pat nezinu vai kāds lasot, grib, lai viņš tiek sakauts.

Un vispār, šī grāmata ir par draudzību un mīlestību. Cik manas asariņas, tik zvaigznes. Tad nu lai tiek visas 5!
