Großartiges Büchlein (39 Seiten in meinem eBook-Reader) über das Leisesein und die Ermutigung, nicht über jedes Stöckchen springen zu müssen.

A dystopian world where critical and individual thinking or human interaction is suppressed by continuous exposure to TV, speed and drugs.
Substitute TV with Social Media and you've got your actuality.
Difficult read for me as a non-native speaker but nonetheless a must-read.

Content warning Mentioning part of the end of the book which might take away the suspense.
... this IS a Doctor Who story. Me thinks the author wrote this story with the intend to submit it to the producers. The similarities are simply too obvious to think otherwise.
I love the TV show and I loved reading it only 3* because I believe the author not only got inspired but definitely copied an episode of Doctor Who. Either by "Cryogenic Chamber" (4th Doctor) or "A Christmas Carol" (11th Doctor). More likely the first.
Anyhow. It was an easy and quick read but I doubt there will be 3rd book in the Johnny Smythe series.

This could have been a Doctor Who episode. And a good one at that, too.
Very entertaining read. Short and easy, thrilling with the right amount of suspense .. and a cliffhanger that made be purchase the second book of the series.
If you like Doctor Who you will love this little book.
And there's the downside of it. It is too close to the the Doc.
You have a trivial name for a time traveller with a lunatic behaviour. You've got a "weird tech thingy" which he uses all the time. You've got a time machine. And there are the bad guys.
As I said, it would have made a great episode and golden thread for an entire season of Doc Who.
However, I'm beginning to read the 2nd book today. Because I love it.

Content warning Talking about the outcome of the story.
... and then I shall be free.
A short story about a witty but uneducated farm girl, how she got sold by her father to the local priest to take care of his sick wife, and how he, after his wife died, started to teach her to read and to write .. at an unspeakable cost for her.
The book starts easy. An all-day story about the hardships Mary's family has to live through to keep everyone fed. Word by word, line by line a story gets unveiled that will leave you just sad, shocked and helpless.
At first glance it might not be a happy end but for Mary, the rope could be THE happy end.
A brilliant book. If not for Christmas time I guess I could have read it in one day.
