Ranocchio salva Tokyo by Haruki Murakami, Lorenzo Ceccotti (Illustrator), Giorgio Amitrano (Translator)

Ranocchio salva Tokyo by Haruki Murakami
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Bei disegni, storia solita da Murakami, niente di particolarmente indimenticabile, specialmente paragonata agli altri libri giá usciti con i disegni sui racconti brevi dell'autore come per esempio "Die Bäckereiüberfälle" o "Birthday girl", finora comunque nella mia personale classifica vince "Die unheimliche Bibliothek" a pari merito con "Schlaf".

An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments by Ali Almossawi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really hope that they are going to translate this book, because I have to show it around. I learnt much more while reading it that in my years of debating the subject, sometimes it's really true that images are better that thousands words.

Spero davvero che traducano presto questo libro, perché ho molte persone a cui farlo comprare. Ho imparato di piú mentre lo leggevo che in anni di dibattiti sull'argomento, a volte é proprio vero che un'immagine vale piú di mille parole.

Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices: Manga, #2) by Cassandra Clare, Hye-Kyung Baek (Illustrator)

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the first installment a little bit more than this, but the story is interesting and the illustrations are cool so I will keep on reading even if YA have never been my cup of tea.

Il primo volume mi era piaciuto di piú, ma la storia regge e le illustrazioni non sono male quindi continueró a leggere nonostante i romanzi YA non mi siano mai piaciuti.

Picture Cook: See. Make. Eat. by Katie Shelly

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was an easy and funny reading, and if I were not Italian it could have been useful also, but not so much if you are not an absolute beginner in the kitchen ;)

Divertente e leggero e se non fossi italiana, magari anche utile, ma é necessario essere davvero dei principianti assoluti ai fornelli per trovare affascinante questo volume ;)

How to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author), Fábio Moon (Illustrations), Gabriel Bá (Illustrations)

How to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Since my first meeting with Gaiman I've always wondered how can somebody even start to think about half of the things he wrote, I mean this time two boys go to a party and they try to pick up a universe and a poem....seriously? Still this is one of the best comic I read this year, so have a try at that.

È dal mio primo incontro con Gaiman che continuo a chiedermi come faccia a ideare almeno la metá delle cose che scrive, voglio dire che stavolta ha scritto un fumetto in cui due ragazzi cercano di rimorchiarsi rispettivamente un universo ed un poema....come ha potuto anche solo pensarci? Eppure resta uno dei fumetti migliori che ho letto quest'anno quindi se vi capita dategli un'occhiata.

The Art of the Mural Volume 1: A Contemporary Global Movement by Shane Pomajambo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great pictures and optimal choice of artists. Some of them are very well known here in Berlin, others were perfect strangers to me, but not anymore.

Bellissime foto e grande scelta degli artisti. Alcuni di questi sono molto famosi, anche qui a Berlino, altri erano invece totalmente sconosciuti per me, ma non piú.

Als Dichter, mag ich Günter Grass mehr, weil seine Romanen ich zu kompliziert für mein Deutche Kentnisse finde.

Come poeta Günter Grass mi piace piú che come scrittore di romanzi, perché il suo tedesco é veramente complesso per me.

Trauma is Really Strange by Steve Haines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the perfect example in which illustrations and cartoon can be used to explain in a very clear and deep way a very difficult topic like trauma. Trough the pictures we got to know the biological and neurological substrate of the trauma and we also learn how to overcome it.

Questo breve libro é l'esempio perfetto di come illustrazioni e fumetti possono essere utilizzati per spiegare in modo chiaro ed approfondito un argomento difficile come puó essere quello del trauma. Attraverso le figure veniamo a scoprire i vari sottostrati neurologici e biologici del trauma e di come si puó superarlo.
