J'ai bien aimé ce livre. C'est une très bonne histoire, dans le sens le plus traditionnel de ce terme, c'est le genre de livre qu'on a toujours envie de lire, c'est pourquoi je suis contente de l'avoir lu en vacances.
Il s'agit ici d'un véritable jeu de poupées russes et métahistoires, les différe ... (continue)

bel libro, probabilmente ha sofferto dell'essere stato letto con poco tempo a disposizione, quindi in modo frammentato e un po' distratto. in realtà sarebbero tre stellette e mezzo.
un romanzo di atmosfera, dove in realtà succede molto poco, e molti personaggi raccontano storie che si svolgono altr ... (continue)

this was sometimes a hard read. especially at first the language influenced my opinion of the book, which is on the whole rather interesting. i think, though, that it could have been shorter, especially in the middle part, and sometimes the main character's monologues get to me, they're too long.

terrific, terrific thriller! i found it so addictive, it was very, very good!
set in the 1950s in the US, it's mainly set on an island which hosts a psychiatric hospital for patients who have committed violent offences. i won't write much about the story because i don't want to spoil it, just trust ... (continue) - — Apr 25, 2011 | Add your feedback

un noir decisamente degno del suo nome, perché è veramente nero. come hanno detto altri in questo forum, per qualche motivo ti invita alla lettura notturna, io l'ho letto in piena primavera e in effetti leggerlo al sole quasi stona.
comunque. ottimo noir, ti acchiappa, non hai voglia di smettere di ... (continue) - — Apr 25, 2011 | Add your feedback

Hmm, niente male, inizia bene ma poi si perde un po', secondo me.
Prima metà ambientata in una Italia pre-fascista e poi fascista, nel nord ovest del paese, racconta le lotte socialiste e anarchiche, e tutto il mondo in cui le due forze politiche si combattevano nelle campagne italiane. Questa part ... (continue) - — Apr 25, 2011 | Add your feedback

Not bad. I liked it, just found it a little slow occasionally, but all in all I liked it for the portrayal of 1930s rural England, which it did very well. The characters are also interesting, showing two bohemians - one of which is also a 'bolshevik', to use a term from back then - and their kids, o ... (continue)

Un altro bel romanzo dei due, che lavorano veramente bene insieme.
Ottima storia, si legge bene, dato che mi ha tenuto compagnia in giorni di febbre direi che è decisamente avvincente. Come sempre, quel che mi piace dei libri su Santovito&co. E' l'atmosfera che si crea (più si va indietro nel tempo ... (continue) - — Mar 31, 2011 | Add your feedback

it only took me long to read this book because i was busy with work: once i had a bit more time, i read it very quickly and i liked it very much. it is not what i usually read, but i liked this portrait of a dystopian South Africa - it is fictional, but somehow it doesn't look like it's so far away from our world today, with all the talk about giant firewalls in the EU and governments trying to regulate the internet and technology, riots here and there, on both sides of the Mediterranean.
i think it's a good book also for those who don't usually read science-fiction, or should i say cyberpunk?? umm i am no expert! however, labels don't matter, what matters is that it deals with a series of issues that we should all be a little more aware of. it's a gripping story, and it makes you think, and i think this makes it a good book.
