Vorrei proprio vedere come lo tradurranno in italiano. Banks scrive proprio bene, e piega la lingua, l'inglese, a delle acrobazie incredibili.
La trama è molto interessante, ma lascia alcune cose in sospeso. Come dice però un altro anobico, dà, come tutti i romanzi della Cultura, una prospettiv ... (continue ) -

Back to 1984! -
Frightening. I've delayed reading the final chapters for fear of a terrible ending. I was only half disappointed, luckyly I dare say.
I't horrible to see where the so called "free" world is heading to. With all the security, screenings, DRM, CCTV cameras, Echelon and the like, Little Brother t ... (

I want to go to India!
Well written, but most of all, an exceptionally good novel. Too packed of actions and feats and facts to be autobiographic, it's a new genre of fictional semi/auto/bio.
Based on real life events it uses them to build an enthralling kind of novel.

Fine book, well written and with a powerful (flowing) epic. But I couldn't help reading it and thinking (with even great admiration) to Coppola and its courage to use it as a synopsis for Apocalypse Now.

Gripping and heart thorbbing. Best Rebus novel so far. So enthralling that at the end ('twas two in the night) I was almost screaming at Rebus: "you are wrong, XXX is the wolfman, not YYY, go the other way!!!"
Rebus wouldn't have listened, anyway. -

Epic. A timeless tale of the original sin. And also quite shoking. I remember having read it as a boy, and it stuck in my memory ever since. Re-reading it gave me new thrills and a new insight and a new, more cruel view on the story behind the tale.

World Without End
Maybe even better than the Pillars of the Earth. Less architecture (which, by itself, it's a pity), but more history. Compelling. As usual, writing is nothing particularly brilliant, but the storytelling makes up for everything laking in word crafting. Awesome
