Se leggo un libro in un solo giorno significa che è molto bello (e che ne ho il tempo, ovviamente).
Questo è il romanzo di esordio di Matteo Strukul, la cui qualità è garantita dal supporto di un grande del genere come Massimo Carlotto. Un fumettone pieno di sangue ed ironia con personaggi a volte u ... (continue) - — Oct 10, 2011 | Add your feedback

Not the best of the series, in my opinion. It builds up really well, then the focus shifts to a story that is (or seems) marginal for the main plot but important for Rebus as a character. In the last couple of chapters everything ties up together, but it feels like it was written in a hurry. So, goo ... (continue)

Asterix is always Asterix, and I hadn't read this one yet.
I'll need some time to get used to the English names of the characters, though. - — Jan 5, 2012 | Add your feedback

The battle of Jericho Hill. The last stand of the gunslingers that soon becomes the stand of the last gunslinger.
Once again really well written, it is awesome to have a chance to relive those stories. - — Dec 29, 2011 | Add your feedback

The Dark Tower: The Fall of Gilead

Gilead falls.
We knew it did from a lengthy flashback in Stephen King's novels, but here we get to experience the struggle to save it, we see its defenders fall one by one, we see the blood and the tears. An amazing addition to the Dark Tower canon. - — Dec 28, 2011 | Add your feedback

Back to Gilead, where we get to experience the struggle that in Stephen King's original novel is relegated to a flashback - admittedly a deep, suffering one, but still a flashback. It is amazing to live that story again. Or for the first time.

I loved this book to bits from the first time I read it as a Primary School boy who was afraid of ghosts. Funny and entertaining, I re-read it regularly and find something new in it each and every time.

The story is so well known that one wouldn't expect to be surprised and thrilled by reading it (and not for the first time either). But it still has an awesome "kick".

- The Jungle Books (122)
- By Rudyard Kipling

Finished on Dec 20, 2011

Even though it is a very clear imperial allegory, very out of date and vaguely patronising, I love it.
The "non-jungle" stories are a little flat, maybe excluding the delicious Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, but the jungle stories are still awesome as they were when a was a child. - — Dec 21, 2011 | Add your feedback

A very interesting experiment.
Due to its nature, though, the quality of the various chapters is pretty inconsistent. Some are really good (and thankfully the last is one of them), some are OK and a couple are pretty baffling, and not in a good way.
All in all an OK novel anyway. - — Dec 21, 2011 | Add your feedback

Typical Dan Brown.
Annoying narrative inconsistencies in a frame of perfectly researched details, obvious "surprises", cheesy cliffhangers at the end of each very short chapter, monodimensional characters.
Still, the story holds up decently and the reader wants to find out how it ends. - — Dec 17, 2011 | Add your feedback

The first 500 pages are a true snorefest; the last 300 are amazing - so much that it took me around 2 months to get to page 500 and 3 days to finish the book from there.
Did I enjoy it? Well, I enjoyed the last 300 pages immensely. A 50-page introduction to characters and history before them would h ... (continue) - — Dec 17, 2011 | Add your feedback

My favourite book ever. I've read it at least 15 times (first in Italian then in English), and every single time there is something new in there, something I hadn't noticed, and every time I get lost in the rabbits' world, in their habits, in their fears and needs...
