The Book Glasses
by Arthur Bozikas
This book was one I really wanted to like because I loved the concept. An ancient pair of glasses that helps you read and retain anything! No matter what you read. You can't keep them on more than so many hours without dying, so there's that. So limited time periods.
The problem is that the story was flat. Flat characters, flat plot, and then the ending made no sense at all! I thought maybe 3 stars until the end then...what!!!! No sense! 2 stars and most people think I am generous with my ratings for the most part.

Badly written blank characters
Aside from the fact that the ending just drops off a cliff and the story is told in a simplistic manner, this book is barely readable because of the cardboard characters and excruciatingly execrable dialogue

The Book Glasses by Arthur Bozikas is a fantasy novel about 23-year-old Sam, who lives the dream we’ve all had before: she finds a pair of glasses that give her the world’s knowledge at her fingertips. Prior to this, Sam is illiterate and has never known privilege, and I really cheered for her in living out my dream. The Adolf Hitler chapter was a big claim, but clearly conveyed the author’s message: the Holy Father’s book glasses do not bless a person or the world, but empower who they are gifted to—which created a veil of tension throughout the story well. I like that, though I’ve thought of something like this before, it’s not a story I’ve ever read and was made even more unique by inclusion of legend. On top of that, the ending was wholly unexpected.

May 28, 2024Even though the protagonist is in her twenties, this reads more like a YA book. It did bother me that there was no real character growth despite the fact she gained knowledge and had life experiences.

Awesome premise, but unfortunately, the novel is very poorly written and frankly absurd. The least absurd thing is the book glasses themselves. That part is cool... it's everything else. I thought it might have been written by a 13yr old during NaNoWriMo who doesn't know how the world works but that's not the case, so I'm not really sure how to approach this review. Unless the glasses have reach into the mundane world to magically force people to hand everything to you on a platter and bypass every workplace policy, professional standard, merit based process, and legal requirement, it's all distractingly implausible. It doesn't matter how smart you are, you still exist within a societal framework that doesn't automatically throw every possible opportunity at you, especially if you have no inherited social standing. I found myself constantly saying 'um, that's not how that works', not how choosing a job works, or workplace counseling, or dealing with police, or university or casinos or transferring large sums. Someone who so rapidly comes into that much money isn't going to skate under federal radar, media radar, and/or criminal radar (standard non glasses related crooks) and can't just transfer $150k to someone else in 5 minutes on her phone just because. The police aren't going to share names and circumstantial musings during interview. That's not how any of this works. I skipped through the novel because it's brief, and I wanted to see how far it would all go. Very imaginative, and distractingly unrealistic.

Seriously??
I am so-o-o disappointed at the sequel-here-I-come ending. Besides a really self-centered main character , I assumed there would be a realization of the folly of too much greed or some kind of acceptance of shortcomings. Or finding a simpler life worth living for. Nope.

In this book, there is a legend about these incredible Book Glasses. Legend says that when you wear them, it provides you with unmeasurable wisdom and knowledge beyond belief.
The Glasses are legendary and almost godly, which have made powerful people, throughout history, get their hands on this artifact. But, in the present day, it is a 23-year-old lady, Samantha Page, who has them.
This mysterious thriller novel knows how to get you hooked up on the story from the very beginning. Already, the synopsis is quite intriguing and as I flip the pages I found it even more profounding.
Giving the classical suspense of mystery novels, Sam gets hold of the glasses and becomes our superhero by protecting them from very bad, powerful people. The plot was embracing, I couldn’t get my hands off the story as I wanted to know more and more about the glasses and their intricacy. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for plot twists, mysteries, and surprises!

“The Book Glasses” was a really pleasant surprise. The plot revolves around Samantha, a 23-year-old woman who has given up hope of ever getting ahead in life. Her fortunes change when she discovers a pair of glasses that give her special abilities, turning her into a supercomputer and improving her quality of life. But she is not the only one who knows about the powers of these glasses, so she will have to face those who also seek to have the power they provide.
Arthur Bozikas made no mistakes in this very well-crafted story line, this vivid world, or this completely adorable protagonist, Samantha. I can't say enough good things about the writing. The world-building was fantastic and very intriguing. Sometimes, I even felt as if I were a part of the story. I absolutely loved this book; it's a new favorite of mine now. To be honest, it's the type of book that deserves to be turned into a film. If you enjoy fantasies and suspense that keep you guessing, this is the book for you!

A lot going on
There's a lot going on here in this book. The main character Sam, a standard modern character but with dyslexia, and magic glasses that make her into a genius. Also, a random prologue about Adolf Hitler having had the glasses in the past. However, I was unclear about if the glasses do or don't help when reading a computer screen or a mobile phone, or only when reading books. Interesting story, a lot of action, the writing is simple and standard and written in today's style. I enjoyed the plot and reading about Sam's transformation and gain in confidence once she obtains the glasses (though I found it odd that there is a line about her having so much makeup after her transformation that it would make Oprah Winfrey smile - is Oprah known for being a makeup guru?). It's also got a side storyline about her past and secret family history, and a cliffhanger for a second book.

An author with an amazing storytelling!
This is the second book I read by this author and I must confess that I was much more surprised than with the first one. I was completely stunned with the way Arthur narrates the story and manages to make you connect with the characters.
The book focuses on the story of a girl who is having a complicated and precarious life, not only she has no money, but also, she is running out of the desire to explore the world, however a stroke of luck leads her to get magic glasses that are anything but an ordinary accessory.
The book is a perfect analogy to ambition and how misused it can be a complete disaster. In the end, you will discover how the main character is torn between resuming her former life or continuing with the current benefits not without first rethinking what is all she stands to lose.
An entertaining book, very well written and with a plot that connects you to the end of the story, highly recommended!

I am passionate about education and understand its power. This book explores the power of knowledge through a novel centered on a young woman struggling with literacy. She discovers a pair of magical glasses that revolutionize her learning process, allowing her to understand and retain information, transforming her into a highly intellectual individual. The reader can appreciate the impact of education by following her journey as she discovers her new abilities, which empower her and unlock her full potential. A strong emphasis is placed on the democratization of knowledge, as highlighted by the quote, "Knowledge is the great equalizer. It empowers individuals to break free from the chains of ignorance and pursue their dreams." After reading the book, I realized it offers more than a story; it reveals all the possibilities education can unlock. It invites readers to embrace a journey of learning, believing every experience is a learning opportunity.

The Book Glasses by Arthur Bozikas fits into the Witch and Wizard Thriller category and the main plot revolves around a legend with a pair of glasses as the main protagonist.
According to a myth, whoever wore and read books with a pair of glasses which had been crafted out of a stone sent by God and intended to be for the Pope, would have a superior vision. This is actually what happened to the main character of the story, 23-year-old Samantha, who starts experiencing a new world thanks to the glasses.
In a dialogue-based form, author Bozikas reveals a catchy and entertaining tale and he has employed such a good writing style that even though the sequences of events are fictional, they seem realistic. I felt embedded in the story and the dialogues helped me put myself in the shoes of the characters. Great pick!

The story of Samantha Page, a 23-year-old struggling to make ends meet due to her inability to read, is both inspiring and heartwarming.

Meh
It’s fine for mindless drivel for awhile. The writing is very simplistic. Everything comes way too easy to Sam. It’s annoying how no one expects her to develop any wisdom, only knowledge. Which is not how the world works. They’re all also so willing to just bend over backwards bc she’s smart. Nothing is really well developed so you’d think it’d skip right along. Because things happen fast. Like, she went to undergrad. She graduated after a year because she got high marks (is this even a thing)? She went to law school. She taught. She joined a law firm. Seriously, almost that fast. And yet, I felt it’d gone on too long. Why? Because there were no challenges. No suspense. Will she make it? Sure. She walked in the door. Why not? I finally gave up at some point when I realized I don’t want to read a whole series like this.

AUSTRALIAN SI-FI...
This is a very intriguing storyline about the discovery of antique reading glasses which enable the user to have supernatural power that triggers the one reading to use the full capacity of their brain to achieve phenomenal accomplishments in life. The story concludes with the discovery of a second pair of glasses with similar results... Of course, you have to purchase the next book in the series to continue the story. I think the next pair of glasses will enable the user to experience even more amazing results, perhaps every having the capacity to see into the future. Prophetic visions would be an interesting storyline... I'll just have to read the next one to find out... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This read by Arthur Bozikas tells the story of Samantha Page, struggling with dyslexia and facing loss before stumbling upon the magical glasses. The author achieves a narrative that balances elements of tenderness, mystery, and danger, creating a rich and immersive story. The glasses themselves manage to add intrigue to the plot, making them not only a valuable tool but also a source of danger. It's fascinating to see how such a simple object can have such profound implications for the protagonist's life. The combination of suspense, action, and well-developed characters, set against a nuanced backdrop of time and place, kept me captivated from start to finish. It's a read I recommend because it offers a unique and compelling journey of magic and transformation.

Personally, I think it is a very good book. It's entertaining to read, which envelops one in a story full of fantasy, mystery, magic and moral dilemmas. Bozikas narrates in a fantastical way the story of the protagonist, Samantha Page, a young woman with dyslexia who comes across magical glasses that change her life in a supernatural way when she uses them as they grant her superhuman intelligence. It seems to me to be a story with a powerful message about ambition and the dangers of wanting too much, which captivates one from beginning to end. It is a story that one wants to finish reading because it is full of mystery and very interesting events. I recommend this book to all those who love to get trapped in a good book with a high mystery content.

A fascinating book
I found this book fascinating! I think Bozikas made a great job in the way he developed the plot. Since the beginning, I was able to connect with Samantha, the main character, and her situation. Then, when she found the glasses, I think it was amazing how her motivation and the way she saw the world completely changed until a point she started having more opportunities.
For me, undoubtedly, this book goes beyond a very good and entertained story. It exposes the importance of education and how knowledge opens doors and opportunities in life.
I felt very inspired and grateful of being able to read and learn. I wouldn’t imagine my life without reading books!!

“The Book Glasses” is really perfect to spend an afternoon or evening reading because apart from being a short-length book, it has a really interesting plot: I mean, who wouldn't like to have super glasses that allow us to understand everything?
The author did a great job with this book because apart from the original idea, he has a writing ability that allows reading it without any problem. Also, the main character called Sam is well-portrayed, so I could easily imagine how she was like.
All in all, I recommend this piece of writing because I had a really great time with it and it deserves to be read.

I must admit that I was fully attracted by the catching cover. Next, I began reading the first pages and became totally absorbed in this story written by Arthur Bozikas. Its plot revolves around a 23-year-old girl who is having a rough time until out of the blue, she finds a pair of glasses that turn her into a supercomputer. Many incredible opportunities arise but there are others who are jealous of her. This captivating fantasy story combines suspense, drama and many scenes packed with action. As the plot unfolds, there are many mysteries that have kept me intrigued until the end. I loved this story!

amazing fictional book
“The Book Glasses” by Arthur Bozikas is an amazing fictional book where Samantha Page, an illiterate 23- year-old young woman gets a second chance in life. Through the luck of finding a pair of magical glasses, she has the power to read and absorb knowledge in a way that no human can. But having that much power in hands can become a problem and awaken dangerous sides in others, willing to do anything to achieve those glasses and take away what they have given to Samantha.
I very much enjoyed reading this plot full of ups and downs. I can definitely recommend this to anyone who has some imagination and an open mind.

I've been looking for new books with original plots for a long time, and I think I've found what I was looking for so much in this book. I believe that "The Book Glasses" by Arthur Bozikas is a different book, where the author not only seeks to train the reader, but I think he also leaves us a much more powerful message.
We live in a world where, believe it or not, many people do not know how to read or write. This is the case of Samantha, who, just when she thought there was no hope, finds a pair of special glasses.
I really enjoyed reading this book which, in my opinion, has a super original plot.
