Why Your Five Year Old Could Not Have Done That: Modern Art Explained by Susie Hodge

Why Your Five Year Old Could Not Have Done That: Modern Art Explained

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this book where a lot of very famous pieces of art are discussed and it is explained why a child couldn't have done that. Brilliant!

Questo libro mi é piaciuto tantissimo, perché assieme alle spiegazioni dettagliate di molte opere d'arte contemporanea famose ci sono anche le spiegazioni riguardanti il fatto che no, tuo figlio di 5 anni non avrebbe potuto fare la stessa cosa. Geniale!

Mogul (The Knickerbocker Club, #3) by Joanna Shupe

Mogul (The Knickerbocker Club, #3)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This last installment in this series ends between the first book (my favorite) and the last favorite one, which is the second book. I like the characters enough to read it till the end, but in a way there were too many lies that, in my opinions where far from being necessaries and so too much drama going on in the whole book.

Questo ultimo volume della serie, lo posizionerei tra il primo, che resta il mio preferito e il secondo, che invece non mi é piaciuto per niente. I personaggi non erano male, ma il livello di bugie e sfiducia ha riempito il romanzo di un sacco di dramma assolutamente non necessario secondo me.

Baron (The Knickerbocker Club, #2) by Joanna Shupe

Baron (The Knickerbocker Club, #2)Baron by Joanna Shupe
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

As I thought (fulfilled prophecy) I haven't liked this book as much as the previous one, because I just didn't like the plot and found not believable at all. Rich people do not marry under their status, not so much anyway. So, I think I will finish the series because there is only one left, but still....

Come pensavo, questo non mi é piaciuto tanto quanto il primo, perché la trama era assolutamente poco credibile perché i ricchi non si sposano le ragazze povere e senza status sociale, almeno non cosí tanto. Quindi finirò la serie fondamentalmente perché mi manca solo un libro e spero che sia leggibile.

The Knickerbocker Club: Tycoon (#0.5) and Magnate by Joanna Shupe

Tycoon (The Knickerbocker Club, #0.5)Tycoon by Joanna Shupe
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Introductory novella to one that seems an interesting series. Let's wait and see, anyway I love the gilded era!





 Magnate (The Knickerbocker Club, #1)Magnate by Joanna Shupe
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book a lot, because it has the right dose of misunderstanding and betrayal to justify the convoluted plot. I'm going straight to read the next one even if the plot is not so much to my liking right now.

Questo libro mi é piaciuto perché c'é la giusta dose di tradimento e sfiducia che porta poi all'happy ending. Quindi mi appresto a leggere il secondo anche se, devo dire, che dopo aver letto la quarta di copertina non credo lo apprezzeró tanto quanto questo.
