**NOTA A ME STESSA: CHE COSA TI SALTA IN MENTE A COMPRARE UN LIBRO A FELTRINELLI INTERNATIONAL A 11.50 EURO QUANDO SU AMAZON COSTA LA META'?? TI STA BENE!**
Sarebbe più un tre e mezzo, ma questa volta arrotondo in eccesso.. Chissà se la prossima volta riuscirò ad essere altrettanto buona :(
Seguo Michael Connelly e Harry Bosch da quando dodicenne e con il divieto di comprare altri libri per bambini perché "Ormai sei grande" aspettavo mia mamma che tornasse dal lavoro con un suo libro preso al mercatino.
Insomma, un amore nato da tempo, un attaccamento quasi materno a tutti i personaggi che popolano i libri del mio mito di prima-adolescenza e la sicurezza di comprare un suo libro e leggere un capolavoro.
Sono andata a Milano per incontrarlo, lo consiglio a destra e a manca, gli ho dato il posto d'onore in libreria e poi..
Lui mi accoltella vigliaccamente alla schiena, prima partorendo Mickey Haller, forse uno dei protagonisti più odiosi della storia e mettendo da parte Harry facendolo apparire un cretino (Nessuno può mettere Harry in un angolo!), poi -quando Harry si riprende ciò che è suo- lo presenta come l'ombra di sé stesso in un thriller noioso (non finiva più, giuro. Sospetto che qualcuno di notte mi aggiungesse le pagine) e con una storia pseudo-fantascientifica molto MEH.
Tralaltro scritto anche maluccio, con ripetizioni (alcuni modi di dire, espressioni ecc ricorrono spessissimo, quasi COnnelly si fosse dimenticato quanto scritto prima) e soprattutto spiegazioni di procedure delle indagini.
No dico.. Ma che siamo novellini??? Sono 20 libri che ti seguo fedele.. Adesso mi ti metti a spiegare come si possa recuperare il numero di serie di una pistola??
A chi interessa? -__-
Non so se Connelly abbia un contratto da rispettare e dunque debba presentare un tot di libri all'anno o abbia perso l'ispirazione.. In entrambi i casi, io smetterei. Sì lo so, è brutto dirlo, soprattutto perché lui è uno degli autori che più amo e stimo ;_;
Ma continuare così.. No grazie!!!! A questo punto preferisco rileggermi i libri vecchi, i capolavori veri.. Questa fuffa la lasciamo agli americani, va' :D
Ps: Mi rendo conto che ormai la figlia l'ha fatta e ce l'ha.. Ma era necessario inserirla nel libro? Rendere Harry.. Padre a tempo pieno?! That's akward. O.O

audio-overdrive. Story was pretty good. It was pretty nice he could pull the whole thing together after 30 years!
This was a slow read for me because I don't really read this genre. I was suprised how much I got into it once the story really got going. I never felt lost while reading and Mr. Connelly does an excellent job seemlessly weaving back details with the current story.
I think the plot went well, I started to get a niggling feeling about the bad guy and predicted it as it turned out but that was part of the fun of reading it.
I read this book for the Sony VIP program discussion with Michael Connelly and I am happy I did. It's good to get out of your comfort zone.

Connelly returns with another Bosch installment and he does not let the readers down. When a Danish journalist is found murdered during the 1992 L.A. Riots, Bosch and team come upon her while sweeping the area. Whisked away from the scene after a mere 15 minutes leaves a sour taste in Bosch’s mouth and he vows to come back to it. As the story flashes forward to the present, Bosch tackles this unsolved case, sure his preconceived notion will pan out. What looks like a simple gang shooting becomes much more complex as the story progresses. A murdered journalist kills the story, right? Not always! Bosch is not only fighting to solve the case, but to keep the happenings fresh in the minds of witnesses, as the years go by. And no Bosch novel would be complete without some involvement with Internal Affairs. Connelly weaves a great story from a few historical happenings that impacted America at the time, leaving no threads dangling.
Connelly has become one of the great crime authors I have read, with his attention to detail, as well as his ability to personify his main character, even after 20 years of novels. As some will know from my past reviews of the series or author, the intermingling of characters from his other series brings each book new life and forces (perhaps too strong a word, nudges) the reader to pick them all up, even if Bosch only makes a cameo therein. His characters build off one another and you never know when one will pop up and then reference this experience in a future book.
Bosch is that detective you never tire of reading about, since he has not lost his passion for the job, just the politics of those trying to control him. He always digs to the deepest point possible and pushes to better himself in a professional and personal manner. Injected with a streak of sarcasm that stings before it soothes, Bosch is your everyday guy, just trying to do the right thing, and make ends meet.
Kudos, Mr. Connelly for this wonderful piece of work. Ah, how you spin a tale!

I am loving the Bosch series on Amazon and finally decided it was time to start reading the books. Of course, I accidentally picked up the 16th book in the series but by the time I realized that I was already invested in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery centering around a cold case Murder from during the L.A. Riots. And Harry's personality and his relationships make this series feel like more than just your standard police procedural. I'm going to go back and start this series from the beginning and read them all in order.
Harry works for the unsolved unit which basically is a cold case unit. They try to figure out old unsolved cases. For the anniversary of the riots in L.A. he is asked to look into some cases from that time. The case he is working on is one he was actually called to the scene of at that time and he never felt it was given the proper treatment.
He manages to connect some far flung clues to solve the case. It takes him to various areas of the city and state and to the victim's search for the perpetrators of a crime against herself many years ago.
A very involved mystery and you have to pay attention to keep all the different players straight. Like how Harry is concerned with his daughter's feelings and trying hard to be a good parent. He inadvertently gets himself in trouble with his boss when he visits his girlfriend's son in prison while he is there investigating one of the clues in his case.

Seems to try to out-Reacher Jack Reacher. As others have commented, the detection element seems to be more in the background in this outing than in many earlier novels, replaced it seems by over-detailed observation.
I don't know why I keep reading Michael Connelly books. I don't find his work these days to be particularly smart nor well-crafted, and these late novels are just a pale shadow of the best of those early entries in his various characters' series. Yet I can't stop. They're addictive, and I do enjoy them, so I suppose I should just fess up and admit that.
