Cover of 1984

Cover of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Cover of The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents

  • A very good book. Refreshing, in a sense.
    After more than 20 Discworld books, I have to admit stories with the usual cast of characters start to wear thin. That's why a change is very welcome.

Cover of Batman

  • This graphic novel is from 1986 and it seems like it was written and drawn just yesterday... I definitely can understand why Miller set a mark in Batman's and comics' history.

Cover of Best of Sherlock Holmes
Cover of The Book Thief

  • It's been quite hard to rate this one.
    In the beginning I must admit I wasn't impressed at all. I also was somewhat disturbed by the feeling that the author was trying too hard to be poetical.

    From the middle of the book onwards, though, it started to get better and better. The ending (I mean the actual last sentence) was one of the best I found in a book.

  • Very very good. Nice balance of humor, characters, references and plot.

Cover of Catch-22
Cover of The Colour of Magic

  • Tutto è cominciato da qui. Un libro esplosivo, con un umorismo che ha scardinato all'istante tutte le convenzioni del fantasy e molte della letteratura in generale. Veramente una ventata di aria fresca.
