"A secret shared is no secret at all."
"Anger is a poison. You must purge it from your mind or else it will corrupt your better nature."
These, together with the many other quotes I have already mentioned, make of this book a wise adventure, which reminds that of Frodo and his quest to destroy the ring!
It took me long to read this book because I had so many things keeping my mind busy that I couldn't really concentrate on the story.
When I finished it I was surprised! I thought this was the last book of the trilogy, but it's no trilogy at all and there's a fourth book coming! Well, so I can't tell you much apart from the fact that after some fights, a teaching session and a new weapon... Eragon, Saphira and their friends will have to endure one more challenge: fighting and destroying Galbatorix.
(I have to say I must fight a smile everytime I read this name, because it reminds me of Asterix... I can't really see him as the scary and bad king, who must be defeated! I mean... he's no Dark Lord Sauron...).
So... you and I will have to wait for the fourth book!

I've read quite a lot of books by Nick Hornby. "About a Boy" and this one are the funniest and most interesting.
Sam is sixteen and the problem is: he's going to be a father soon...
The counsellor and friend, whom he asks for advice is the great "Tony Hawk" or better... his poster!
A funny and intelligent book at the same time, written with a teenage simplicity that is both tender and amusing.

"Sa cos'è il bello dei cuori infranti? Che possono rompersi davvero soltanto una volta. Il resto sono graffi." (Carlos Ruiz Zafón - Il Gioco dell'Angelo)
The book:
Holly and Gerry always made a joke about the fact that in case Gerry should die, Holly wouldn't be able to know how to go on living. "I'll write you a list" Gerry would say laughing and she'll laugh too. This list also became a famous joke among their best friends. When Gerry dies of brain cancer, Holly's world stops. Until the day she finds the "list". Gerry really left her instructions, in a kind of weird way: a letter a month (10 months to say a proper “farewell”) teaching her how to "survive" and then how to "get back to life".
A romantic book without any doubt, but it doesn't plunge you into sadness or desperation. Typically Irish, the author tells us the story of a tragedy, but never forgets to make us laugh... and never forgets to give us hope.
I read it constantly with tears in my eyes... at times because I was so deeply moved and at times because of how hard I was laughing.
A big love story yes, but above all a great story about true friendship and hope!!!
I couldn’t stop the tears in the end.
Cecilia Ahern, after Marian Keyes is surely one of my favourite Irish authors!
It was fun to read about the girls going through Dublin... Grafton Street and Stephen's Green are still very present in my heart not to mention Galway, which I hopelessly fell in love with!!!
Read it!

I just want to see you
When you're all alone
I just want to catch you if I can
I just want to be there
When the morning light explodes
On your face it radiates
I can't escape
I love you till the end
I just want to tell you nothing
You don't want to hear
All I want is for you to say
Why don't you just take me
Where I've never been before
I know you want to hear me
Catch my breath
I love you till the end
I just want to be there
When we're caught in the rain
I just want to see you laugh not cry
I just want to feel you
When the night puts on its cloak
I'm lost for words don't tell me
All I can say
I love you till the end

ane Austen's writing meets Emily Brontë's mistery together with a touch of splendid magic. It's being quite strange of me to read that slowly, but I wanted to savour every page of this book. It's slowliness itself in the beginning, but not a kind of slowliness that bores the reader or that prompts them to put away the book and then forget its existence.
It's like some kind of spell would really affect the eyes and the soul.
Awesome.
