Troll Bridge by Neil Gaiman

Troll Bridge by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of the best stories of Gaiman. So terribly sad and beautiful it seems like a poem to me.

Una delle storie migliori di Gaiman, cosí bella e triste da sembrare quasi una poesia.

THANKS TO EDELWEISS FOR THE PREVIEW!

Review: A Rogue for the Dutiful Duchess

A Rogue for the Dutiful Duchess by Louise Allen
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I usually like this author, but this book was rather boring and the two main characters had no chemistry with each other at all....I don't know, maybe it was not the right time for me to read this book.

Di solito questa autrice mi piace, ma questo libro é stato piuttosto noioso e i due protagonisti non avevano per niente chimica tra di loro. Non saprei, forse non era il momento giusto per me di leggere questo libro.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read the Italian version of this book, that tells the universal indifference of a whole planet towards a genocide. Nothing can me more actual than that.

Ho letto la versione italiana di un libro che racconta l'indifferenza di un intero pianeta (tranne rari casi) ad un genocidio. Niente di più attuale.

Review: So Shall You Reap

So Shall You Reap by Donna Leon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

We are back to the old detective stories, the ones where there is a "real" story and the culprit, at least, has to be looked for a little bit even if not too much. As usual Venice remains an undisputed protagonist and Commissioner Brunetti a worthy inhabitant of it. Leon's view of such a period known as the lead years in Italy, in which we are reminded in detail of Dozier's kidnapping, but Aldo Moro is remembered as "a senator," is peculiar.

Siamo tornati ai vecchi gialli, quelli in cui c'é una storia "vera" e il colpevole, quanto meno, va cercato un pochino anche se non troppo. Come al solito Venezia resta una protagonista indiscussa e il commissario Brunetti un suo degno abitante. Particolare la visione della Leon su un periodo come quello degli anni di piombo in Italia, in cui ci si ricorda nei dettagli del rapimento di Dozier, ma Aldo Moro viene ricordato come "un senatore".

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
