3.55 AVERAGE


The language is frivolous and doesn’t have a steady flow for reading. The story was stale with its lack of expression.

 I was thoroughly underwhelmed with this book. It had its moments, and I enjoyed how fast-paced it was, but it ultimately came across as rushed and unsubstantial. Though I found some of the conflicts believable, others felt contrived, and I was left feeling frustrated. The book as a concept is interesting but it wasn’t executed particularly well. Since it is so short, it may still be worth a read, since it is light-hearted and easy to consume, but I have made my distaste clear. 

Thoroughly sublime.

"Perché a nulla si abituano gli uomini più facilmente che ai miracoli, se si sono ripetuti una, due, tre volte. Sì! La natura degli uomini è tale che subito vanno in collera se non capita loro di continuo tutto quanto sembra aver loro promesso un destino casuale e passeggero."

Scusa, Joseph Roth, stai parlando a me?

Si parla di miracoli, di doni, di solitudini, di debolezze. Di tutti noi, insomma.
Un gioiellino.
