Reviews
"I'm a 54 year old grandfather who served in the Marine Corps (just for a little context). Palacio...I can't believe how she so accurately and consistently pegs human nature."
"The most emotional moment for me came toward the end of the book when Auggie's father tells him that he loves the way Auggie looks, because that it exactly how my husband and I feel about our son."
"Author R.J. Palacio writes the book in multiple voices -- Auggie's, some of his friends', his sister's -- and the different points of view are mostly very well-realized and show the inner feelings of the different characters."
"I would recommend all young children to read this book and I would certainly recommend adults to read it because it will certainly change that "judgement of others" into "an acceptance of others.""
"The author did a really good job of putting the reader inside the heads of the characters in the book, helping us to really get to know them and to see different perspectives of the same situation."
"I'm a Special Needs teacher and I love how this book teaches "typical kids" to accept someone who looks different in their school; it makes the child who's different feel special as well."

American War (Italian Edition)
L'esordio di Omar El Akkad, «intenso e terrificante» come lo ha definito il Washington Post, ci mostra un futuro molto vicino, un paesaggio immaginato eppure sempre più realistico, lo scatto vivido, inquietante, di cosa potrebbe accadere se gli Stati Uniti usassero su se stessi le loro devastanti politiche, contro gli americani le armi dei loro eserciti. Set in in 2075, Omar El Akkad's debut presents a fractured and frightening America, where the sun burns hot and the country has turned into war zones and refugee camps. Over the course of two decades, Akkad traces the fate of the Chestnut family, who flee their home in the south and spend the better part of their lives in a sprawling, impoverished encampment. What was safety, anyway, but the sound of a bomb falling on someone else’s home?” Albert Gaines, a radicalized Southerner, takes Sarat under his wing, equipping her with the fervor and tactics needed to win the war. Written with precise care for the fictional truth—news articles, press releases, and oral histories emerge throughout – the book sounds a warning blast. --Al Woodworth, The Amazon Book Review Shortlisted for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize " American War is an extraordinary novel. El Akkad's story of a family caught up in the collapse of an empire is as harrowing as it is brilliant, and has an air of terrible relevance in these partisan times." El Akkad's formidable talent is to offer up a stinging rebuke of the distance with which the United States sometimes views current disasters, which are always happening somewhere else. "This is not a comforting political message for Americans, whose homeland has largely remained free of the chaos and bloodshed experienced by other nations in the modern age. "El Akkad demonstrates a profound understanding of the corrosive culture of civil war, the offenses that give rise to new hypocrisies and mythologies, translating terrorists into martyrs and acts of despair into feats of heroism." His imagined speeches, transcripts, history-book passages, censored letters and news stories feel accurate while highlighting institutional deceptions and omissions." Omar El Akkad has created a novel that isn’t afraid to be a pleasurable yarn as it delves into the hidden currents of American culture and extrapolates from them to envision a deeply tragic potential future.” —David Means, author of Hystopia “Omar El Akkad’s urgent debut transmutes our society’s current dysfunction into a terrifying yet eerily recognizable future, where contemporary global and local conflicts have wreaked havoc on American soil. Their resilience, savagery, and humanity serve both as a portrait of who we are but also what we might very well become.” —Elliot Ackerman, author of Dark at the Crossing “Omar El Akkad has created an American future that is both terrifying and plausible.
Reviews
"The book is a study of how terrorists are made, and the arc of Sarat's life, from atrocities in the refugee camp her family fled to, to her recruitment, her successful missions, her capture and torture, and ultimately her awful revenge, have many real-world parallels that aren't too hard to spot, or intended to be. The central conceit of the book can be found in these lines given to Karina, a nurse who emigrated to the US from what was left of Bangladesh after the seas rose: "...the misery of war represented the world’s only truly universal language."
"Also makes you realize hate is a warden of the soul, that destroys you and those that orbit around you."
"This book is about a young woman, Sarat (really, Sarah T), who witnesses the death of members of her family from terrorism and violence resulting from fighting between segments of a broken society. Failure to have arrested the degradation of the climate by the use of fossil fuels has led to violent storms and vast erosion of the landscape. Rather than hearing an inspiring message that if we only get serious and start paying attention we will make it through these uncertain times, I finished my reading of this book concluding that this is all beyond us and that a grim fate awaits."
"I bought this book on the strength of the many positive reviews it received in places like the NYT. I admire the author's willingness to see what climate change will be doing to North America in the coming years and the refugee crises this will create. Take for instance the utterly blind attitude toward American racism in the book: when southern Republicans secede from the Union, race will have something to do with it."

Un grande thriller. Tra John Le Carré e John Grisham.

Reviews
"It'll help if you first read Brookes' previous novel, but it's not entirely necessary."
"Asia can be suffocating in both temperature and expectations and Brookes intimate knowledge of and descriptions of the atmosphere and physicalness of the place are masterful. He has a section where Mangan is secreted under the deck in a boat going down the Mekong that gave me the creeps."
"Adam Brookes is to China spy novels what Robert Ludlum or Martin Cruz Smith was to the Soviet Union-set thrillers of old."
"Having read all 3 of Adam Brookes "Philip Mangan " series I look forwars to what ever he writes, his knowledege of Madarin helps these books feeling of authenticity."
"The details in this book make it obvious Brookes has been to all the featured locations and that he knows the culture and insider info of journalism, politics, and tech."
"Somewhat different t a me on spooks. But an unwilling and unwitting character fumbles along successfully. Good read again by Brookes."

"The book was as always amazing, descriptive and decisive."
"This book is the one that keeps me wanting to start reading the first book all over again."
"Excellent fourth book in the series bellow finally gets what she truly wants in many ways, and more things happen, then could ever be anticipated."
"Great conclusion to a great series."
"Switching between Jacob's point of view and Bella's was an interesting but necessary twist."
"A lot of people have read the first twilight book and hate the series, but if you can make it past the first, the other books in the twilight series are much more interesting."
"I felt like its execution was rather rushed, the author covers a lot of ground in terms of plot events, but doesn't really develop a lot of them, and then seems to throw in sort of random events and details that don't really contribute to the forward motion of the story. While I liked the idea of switching to a different perspective while Bella is home bound and can't do much, I thought the way Jacob's voice was written was rather heavy-handed in terms of using different vernacular to distinguish him from Bella, making him rather crude and unrefined."

The Mystical Qabalah (Italian Edition)
As I have frequently referred to the authority of MacGregor Mathers and Aleistet Crowley in matters of Qabalistic mysticticism, it may be as well to explain my position in relation to these two writers. The Society of the Inner Light, founded by the late Dion Fortune, has courses for those who wish seriously to pursue the study of the Western Esoteric Tradition. The Mystical Qabalah devotes a chapter to each of the ten schematic "God-names", the qualities or "Sephiroth", which focus the principle archetypes behind evolving human activity: the Spiritual Source; the principles of Force and Form; Love and Justice; the Integrative principle or the Christ Force; Aesthetics and Logic; the dynamics of the Psyche; and finally, the Manifestation of life on Earth in a physical body. This revisededition includes an additional chapter of Fortune's original writing, an editorial update for contemporary readers, and a foldout with Tree of Life diagrams to facilitate study of the text.
Reviews
"Fortune's book was my first foray into the subject, and since completing it, I've ordered Israel Regardie's "Garden of Pomegranates" for further perspectives on Qabalah & information on pathworking, as it's called."
"I can't add much to the other glowing reviews."
"Excellent book by Fortune."
"This is one of my essential reference books."

I promessi sposi (Italian Edition)
I promessi sposi di Alessandro Manzoni è considerato il più importante ed il primo romanzo della letteratura italiana e l’opera letteraria più rappresentativa del Risorgimento italiano e del romanticismo italiano nonché una delle massime opere della letteratura italiana. Il romanzo di Manzoni viene considerato non solo una pietra miliare della letteratura italiana, ma anche un passaggio fondamentale nella nascita stessa della lingua italiana. "I promessi sposi" (The Betrothed) by Alessandro Manzoni is considered the most important and the first novel in Italian literature, the piece of literature more representative of the Italian Risorgimento and the Italian romanticism and one of the greatest works of Italian literature. Text: Italian Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Antonio Manzoni (Milano, 7 marzo 1785 – Milano, 22 maggio 1873) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e drammaturgo italiano.
Reviews
"A really great abridged version of the classic story. The whole book is in Italian."
"I grew up in Italy so I read this book in middle and high school."
"the author gives us a pleasing account of the 1600's during the spanish domination of northern italy, mainly the surroundings of milan."
"Beautifully written."
"come le pagine si sono combinati non c'e molto spazio fra le parole e la grandezza delle lettere sono piccole."
"Manzoni considered them so important that he would visit the printing shop while the book was in production and would sometimes alter his text to ensure that the illustrations were placed at precisely the right location on the page. In chapter 1, for example, the portrait of a very nervous don Abbondio stroking his chin at the sight of the two bravi waiting to talk to him speaks volumes about the poor man's character. In my original review I gave this item one star, writing that "in my iPad Kindle app, at least, [the illustrations] overwrite the text so that you have 200 holes in the story, one for every picture.""
"I had my Italian teacher look over this book and he said it is a very bad interpretation of the original."
"The "riassunto" for the remainder of the book (more than 600 pages) encompassed a couple of paragraphs... Don't bother, the type style is difficult to read for "older eyes" also."

"Whether through the animated toons or the books, every cat owner will find a behavior that will make you think to yourself "That's my cat! If you just want to giggle at some cute cat drawings, you'd be hard pressed to do better than the little fatty known as "Simon's Cat"."
"What makes this book interesting was that whilst the first two were about the cat exploring the home and then the backyard / beyond the fence, this book has the added layer of being about sibling rivalry and kids being mischievous to each other or their parent. So the new character, which unlike book two's hedgehog and birds, has a much clearer defined role and makes it easier to relate to."
"I was a little afraid Simon's Cat would be lacking because you can't hear his little mews, but it's just as funny if not more!"
"Simon's Cat is so funny and cute, and the author is very clever and talented."

Reviews
"It cannot recognize conjugated verbs or even plural words. You have to figure out the root word, type it in manually, and then use the 5-way to move to the right and highlight the "dictionary" button to look things up. It does have trouble with apostrophe-joined words, but that's completely understandable (Baron's can't handle that either). The other Italian dictionary for Kindle (Andrei Pushkin and Dima Suponau) seems to also handle these things to some extent, but I downloaded the sample, and it's not near as comprehensive as the Merriam-Webster's. And as the default dictionary for reading Italian texts, the Merriam-Webster is the hands-down winner. UPDATE: April 12, 2012 - I have spent some time now both with this dictionary and Baron's. It's still very useful, and it still has the key advantage of understanding verb conjugations, plurals, etc."
"This dictionary is invaluable for studying Italian on a Kindle device, but it would have to be closer to unabridged to earn five stars."
"This is a great dictionary, but the latest update to the kindle reader for ipad (downloaded on february 16,2013), changed something so that now searches do NOT turn up most headwords (because of the apostrophes separating the syllables)."

"I'm a 54 year old grandfather who served in the Marine Corps (just for a little context). Palacio...I can't believe how she so accurately and consistently pegs human nature."
"The most emotional moment for me came toward the end of the book when Auggie's father tells him that he loves the way Auggie looks, because that it exactly how my husband and I feel about our son."
"Author R.J. Palacio writes the book in multiple voices -- Auggie's, some of his friends', his sister's -- and the different points of view are mostly very well-realized and show the inner feelings of the different characters."
"I would recommend all young children to read this book and I would certainly recommend adults to read it because it will certainly change that "judgement of others" into "an acceptance of others.""
"The author did a really good job of putting the reader inside the heads of the characters in the book, helping us to really get to know them and to see different perspectives of the same situation."
"I'm a Special Needs teacher and I love how this book teaches "typical kids" to accept someone who looks different in their school; it makes the child who's different feel special as well."
"On a recommendation from my daughter (35), I read it after I saw the movie."
"Friends said to read the book before seeing the movie."

E proprio sui soldi sono puntati i riflettori: con tutte le leggende metropolitane degli ultimi anni, compresa una strana inchiesta della Procura di Milano sulla società di uno degli advisor di Mr Bee, leggende che hanno costretto l'avvocato di Silvio Berlusconi, Niccolò Ghedini a portare al Tribunale di Milano la documentazione sulla provenienza della liquidità di Yonghong Li per eliminare ogni dubbio sulla tracciabilità del denaro. Più che Yonghong Li, è lui il vero attore protagonista di questi ultimi tre anni di vicende rossonere, impegnato nel ritorno in politica, dopo la condanna del Tribunale, Ma attivo anche in azienda, nella difesa del gruppo da lui fondato, Mediaset, dalle mire del colosso francese Vivendi.
