Old Man's War (Old Man's War, #1) by John Scalzi

Old Man's War by John Scalzi

I tried to read this book because of the introduction of Scalzi to Haldeman's book (The forever war), but I found it I didn't like this one also, but for different reasons: I think that the humor was not to my liking at all, and the story was boring and the characters inconsistent. What it seems now clear to me is that I can stop reading sci-fi books, when I don't like them, much more easier compared to the other type of books, which I always tr to finish.

Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by Octavia E. Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unluckyly, I haven't read the book, but if it's half as good as this graphic novel it has to be wonderful.

The illustrations are really perfect to depict what is going on and I loved to read this dramatic story.

Sfortunatamente non ho letto il libro, ma se é bello anche solo la metá di questa graphic novel deve essere meraviglioso. I disegni sono poi l'ideale per descrivere quello che capita in questa storia veramente drammatica.

Beren e Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien (Editor), Alan Lee (Illustrator), Luca Manini (Translator), Simone Buttazzi (Translator)

Beren e Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Anche stavolta e per fortuna ho letto la versione in italiano, con le fantastiche note esplicative del figlio Christopher, anche perché io sulla mitologia e varia umanitá e deitá della terra di mezzo non sono poi cosí ferrata. La storia tra Beren e Tinúviel é quella che mi é piaciuta di piú, anche perché era in prosa. Giudizio sospeso per quanto riguarda invece il Lai di Leithian, che è la stessa storia, solo in versi.

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If I hadn't had to read this book for one of my book clubs, I would have probably quit after 50 long and dragging pages, but I didn't and in the end I was happy because the story is convoluted enough to remain interesting even if the pace is way too slow. I am not also so convinced about the ending but ok, at last I don't have to wait for a second installment in another never ending series :)

Se non avessi dovuto leggere questo libro per uno dei miei book club, probabilmente avrei abbandonato il volume intorno a pagina 50, e sarebbe stato un peccato perché alla fine la storia non era male, pur se raccontata con una lentezza sconcertante. Non sono nemmeno poi particolarmente felice del finale, ma almeno non devo aspettare un altro volume ed aggiungere alla lista un'altra serie infinita :)

The Forever War (The Forever War, #1) by Joe Haldeman

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

I haven't finished the book because I was not really liking it and I couldn't get a grasp on the characters: who is who, who makes what and especially who just died.... My first taste of the so called Space Opera Fiction didn't really work properly.....

Another World by Banana Yoshimoto

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Meh.....se non fosse stato l'ultimo libro di una quadrilogia non l'avrei nemmeno finito. Senza contare il fatto poi, che non mi ricordavo quasi niente dei tre che lo avevano preceduto. Quella che era la lenta discesa di una delle mie autrici preferite nell'insignificanza piú totale sta prendendo una certa velocitá.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Caruccio, ma niente di particolarmente indimenticabile; la parte che mi é piaciuta di piú erano i continui riferimenti bibliografici e gli strafalcioni dei clienti della libreria, ma come giallo era tutto fuorché avvincente.
