Cover of Alice's adventures in wonderland

  • Alice is a normal 7-and-half years old girl who has an incredible imagination.
    Her dreams are extremely funny, fulls of incredibles creatures and strange characters such as the White Rabbit, the Mock Turtle, the Hatter, the March Hare, Humpty Dumpty, the Queen and the King, and my favourite, the Chesschire Cat.

    I enjoyed the songs very much - they are very funny!

    A book for adults and for babies: I´ll read it to my sons/daughters, one day.

    *** This comment contains spoilers! ***

    Breaking Dawn, the fourth and last book of the Twilight saga, is divided in three parts narrated by Bella (1st), Jacob (2nd) and Bella (3rd).

    The first book is sweet as honey, and tells us about Bella's and Edward's wedding and their passionate honeymoon. Lovely, but nothing special.

    In the second part, I apprecciated Jacob's point of view (this man - err, werewolf! - is TOO funny!); I really loved Rosalie: OK, she was freaking out because her sick attachment to the baby, but I was frozing in disbelief while I was reading about Rose's and Bella's friendship! And what about Jacob's imprinting? WOW!
    There's a negative part too: this book had described just the thoughts that the principal characters had about Renesmee.

    I'm a bit disappointed about the last part: everything was TOO simple! Bella is a perfect self-controlled vampire with an amazing gift and a wonderful half human/vampire daughter... And what about the Volturi? I wanted a bloody battle! Everything fixed up talking and showing another half vampire: Alice has an unexpected sense of timing...

    Breaking Dawn is unbalanced: full of love scenes and poor of action. Well, I know this isn't an action-romance, but the narration is really slow: the first two parts are all focused about Bella's pregnancy and the feelings of the protagonist about it, and the third one is totally unnecessary.

    Anyway, I understand this was the only way things would have ended: aren't all the four books of the saga a celebration of an impossible, romantic, innocent love?

Cover of Child of the Prophecy

  • Amazing.

    The principal character of the Sevenwaters Trilogy is always a woman (Daughter of the Forest -> Sorcha; Son of the Shadows -> Liadan), and even in this last romance the heroine is a girl: her name in Fainne; she's different from Sorcha and Liadan, because of her voluntair loneliness, her strong will and her rejectment towards love and friendship.

    She's the daughter of Niamh and Ciaràn, and she carries the inheritance of four different generations, but she won't understand it. She believes herself an evil creature, because of her sorceress nature.

    A person doesn't choose his family. The blood in his veins can't influence his entire life... Or can it? Is it possible to rebel against who use your lover's life against you? Is it right to sacrifice many innocent lifes to save the one you love?

    It's a powerful, painful and interesting tale full of death, love, struggle for power and thoughs about our own nature.

    I enjoyed this book very much.
