Ho conosciuto Ken Follett grazie ai "pilastri della Terra" e da quel momento è stato amore folle per lui. Come per tutti gli innamorati, non si riesce ad essere veramente imparziali quando si giudica. Infatti, penso che nemmeno sarei arrivata alla fine del primo capitolo se non fosse che amo chi l'ha scritto e nemmeno sarei arrivata a metà romanzo se non avessi approfittato del mese di prova di audible! La trama di base è anche carina e il finale mi ha fatta sorridere di gusto, peccato che il mezzo sia riempito da scene di pessimo gusto (le mutandine per spolverare un quadro?!?), scene di sesso decisamente inutili (sti mariti ricattatori) e molti discorsi che allontanano l'attenzione dal punto focale del romanzo. Quindi, bel primo tentativo Ken, ma hai scritto di meglio dopo per fortuna!

Disappointing

This is by far, the worse Follett novel I've ever read. Characters so flat it was hard to tell them apart, implausible plot and oddly dated. I only finished because I'm an art buff and thought it would get interesting .

A short, quick one that was OK but not excellent.

The very first chapter involves a random male character (that doesnt show up ever again) giving an incredibly awful and objectifying monologue describing the main female character's body. It doesnt get better after that.

Livro pequeno, fácil de ler, e que nos prende do início ao fim. É Ken Follet, não desilude.
