Kleopatra Ring Anden Sot
DARKNESS, by Elena P. Melody. Fazi Editore, 415 pages, € 18.50
Rating: Abandoned
Dropped, too.
I'm sorry, I really expected better from this book, but I was disappointed from the first page.
There are four young girls victims of the most classic problems in which a teenager may face a succession of clichés truly impressive professors stupid, evil school principal, male bullies, bulimia, obtuse parents, etc. ...
The protagonist and narrator is Alma, which is strange dreams in which people are dying, and, coincidentally, the same people who also died in her dreams a reality.
This is the only one, just mentioned, part fantasy, the rest Alma has always been involved in employment, which must be pretty exhausting, to see a downside in everything, but just in everything from a harmless bus to the mother's partner who is actually a very good man. I do not think the sky is always gray in his city as you say, maybe it's the same Alma who is not able to see the blue.
Now, a pessimistic character may very well be the star of a book, but a pessimistic person immersed in a world full of problems that seem insignificant to be surrounded only by people gives the impression of being too built.
That said, even if we accept the idea that the author has done so on purpose because it was the ideal scenario for the history that is desired and the feeling of hatred that Alma arouses in the reader, however, the work was marred by poor editing,
that a publisher as big as Fazi do not accept.
For goodness sake, the book is smoothly written and quite engaging, even if there is any sentence in Italian is not up, but absolutely lacks consistency and logic.
Meanwhile, the characters sometimes contradict yourself. For example, there is this dialogue:
Doctor: "... get piccogli cuts and burns on the body ..."
Alma: "What kind of cuts? Are deep?"
Doctor: "Not really. They seem pretty tiny incisions, very small and deep ..." But then this
cuts are deep or not?
A good editor would let such contradictions?
Secondly, the characters behave shocking, absolutely devoid of logic.
Alma's mother leaves her child of fourteen, drifter, stay out all night without the slightest worry. The doctor (the same as before, maybe a little 'confused) arrive in the emergency room seeing a girl who was drugged and raped man with peace of mind to call the police, as if it were not a necessary thing.
And then, best (said ironically) is that sometimes a character is named for another.
do not know, it seems that readers are taken for fools: € 18.50 while they have spent, then the book is horrible if their business. Fortunately
me borrowed.

Tiffany Sale After Christmas
TRAVEL TALES OF MONACO Kyosho, Francesca Angelinelli.
Edizioni Montag, 84 pages, € 11.00
Rating: 4 / 5
Francesca Angelinelli leads us once again in the Eastern fantasy, a genre that is very congenial, through a series of short stories whose protagonist is a monaco - I guess with gambling addiction and beautiful women, traveling through what, even if not specified, we may identify as the traditional Japan.
It gives an overview of demons / spirits of Japan's tradition Kyoshi and Eastern Europe with which it is, always reluctantly embroiled.
I must say that the setting is excellent, well-kept, not only in the backgrounds as well as to speak and ask the people who are very credible as the East.
The narrative structure of the book (the story) and its brevity does not permit a great depth of Kyoshi, a unique character and great potential.
favorite story, "Help, help!" Because there is a fox that is a must for anyone essential traits of the Japanese spirit.
This book is the winner of the second edition of the competition "Other Worlds" of Montag. We remember that Frances has
Aneglinelli publish much more: always in the field of Oriental Fantasy, the diptych "Chariza" per round Taarna Editions, and "Kuma no Kizu" in 2010 for publishing Casini. In addition to Round Taarna
always published "Valaeria" and the paranormal romance lines Infinite Editions "Werewolf." The
coperina, amaze, "Travelogues of Monaco Kyoshi" was created by Francesca Resta.

Adolescente En Shorts
The trio of wonders. The Three Little Pigs, call them what you want. They play and if he sings in "vieniviaconme", also called the angle of rhetoric. Nice to know that a campaign against Prime Minister is funded by your company in the Premier. I wanted to say just for the record. But there is another thing I might add. I personally know people who do the dirty work, working day and night against the Mafia. People who silently attempt to defuse deadly weapon piece by piece. Some other without an escort. None of this is television, many of these, almost everybody, and fled before the cameras are not martyrs, the heroes. No way the bank account and do not cry Saviano their position, the honor. Especially do not do politics. They have no self-interest so high, do not pretend to be the heroes of the twenty-first century, but they risk their lives every day. Really. And do not talk, do the facts. They do not write books, they send people to prison. They build rehabilitation centers for children of Mafia bosses. In would silently. Dear Saviano, do not compare to those that have both left the skin really. Do not be a problem. Did you climb your rank, bravo. Not satisfied? want to become prime minister for having "deninciato" what everyone knows? Have you had your own show you're happy now? Who are you? Let me understand. What you want to spend? A martyr? A writer? A politician? The Saviour of the Fatherland? For me to walk the king of rhetoric, a man like many who speculated on the words and rhetoric. I still prefer the other Italy, the one that works. There is one thing that you and your friend Fazio you forgot, which is a serious Democracy: THE ADVERSARY.

Nose Bleed And Broken Blood Vessel
You are ignorant of the vulgar, zozzone, bloody idiots. Incompetent in every way, uncaring, ashamed. How can you leave a work of art like a piece of ancient history, a relic of the time so precious to the weather? And then please explain how is it that you can not find a manager. Fate sucks. You are a beast, the beast, one I'd like to give the death penalty, because you killed a piece of world history. nausea that I can try right now is indescribable, perhaps, all the injuries would not be enough to tell you the disgust of the world you do. This is the death of your soul, your ancestors. Other than "Shame on Italy," President, this is a disgrace for humanity Italian. Other than resignation, the law of retaliation would take. But enough is enough. We can no longer tolerate this attitude so superficial, repulsive, but not understood all too well known to the Italians. You make me sick. Today, flags at half mast!

Pictues That Will Give Me A Errection
Sad, sad, tristerrimi. As certain terms do not exist, we invent them and we are all happy. The moral question. Here we need Leopa or Kant, but practical politics, we are in the wonderful world of philosophy in the land of the criticism of pure reason, the categorical imperative. And from which pulpit. We need to mention names? Who has not sinned cast the first stone. Never a politician went to whores (and not be called escort), but never before now. The moral issue? Ben is! So other than clean hands , clean sweep! No, this was not the time and yes we are in the mud. Thanks to the Premier, that certain things had to be avoided, indeed should stop, the President of the Chamber, which is worthy of the best a cowardly Pontius Pilate, and the various moral and moralizing from all over the world. Thanks also to the phenomenon of Vendola which replaced the Italian flag with the rainbow. Bravo bravo, do good to the Italians. In the face of the young. A pretty picture, a nice safety bill that will most likely not ever adra in port. Unless the league, ah here is the league, which shut up and shut up knowing that this situation will derive great benefit. Who did not understand? The left. Indeed, the left and center left. Mica is the crisis in Italy ... No, we're just a bit 'poorer than before, but you can talk quietly of the moral question, come on do not be so careless! Fini Stop, stop, stop stop! You are the last to be able to speak of moral issue. The poorest of the poor. Here is the pure. By Gianfranco ... I wonder if Berlusconi were to really fall. Chapter I say, not as part of the political scene. I wait hoping for a moment that any Giulio take the reins of the situation and maybe go back to talk a little about politics, by men of the right. Maybe. Maybe.
