Rating: 2 / 5
This book is about a poor monster (a minotaur cyclopean) evoked by a necromancer to be used as a portrait of Dorian Gray and two types of queer (A hunchback and a mad) that accidentally freed from captivity and to try to stop him at all costs, given that the monster likes to cut in two people.
not quite managed to get attached to characters. Apart from the other acchiapparatti Zaccaria I have not found good hatch. The undertaker Gheshick, which should be featured, I remained completely indifferent start to finish and sometimes I felt that things did not make sense, for example, during an auction when a merchant takes around only on the basis of justification for having a busy day, the reasons that I thought that was forced to nothing in line with the character of the character!
I also caught a bit 'of confusion in the story, perhaps it was because of the sudden change of view, that always upset me.
The rest is not a bad book, it is a pretty original story with unusual characters (although I found it really a novel that transcends the rules of the fantasy genre, such as screaming pompously fourth).
I do not know, I'm really puzzled. Maybe it was structured differently.
I regret not being able to appreciate it, because the author was so nice to put in a chain of reading, giving the opportunity to read it without buying it.
Interesting note: this is the second edition. In 2007 the book was published by publisher Bell under the title "The Acchiapparatti of Tilos, then BCDalai noticed him and decided to republish it.
