I don't know... during the break between the first day and the second, when the 2 leave the scene, I seriously risked falling asleep.

you don't schedule an appointment to write a review :P I don't like the book either, and not because they drilled it into our heads at school... I couldn't wait to get to third grade to read the Inferno and I loved Dante

No, unfortunately, but I'll put it at the top of the list and hope it's easily available. I'll repost after watching it :)

I'm not criticizing nor trying to take a stance, but the last sentence of the review is ambiguous.

Well, Clinton balanced the budget, taxes weren't high, and the economy was thriving thanks to the hi-tech sector... I believe that initial skepticism in the markets started when in 2000 the Microsoft stock, which had previously been as solid as a rock, began to crack... "Bush is also the one who vetoed funding for abortion groups and limited funding for embryonic stem cell research, that doesn't seem insignificant to me." It depends on your perspective; I'm pro-choice, so I see it as a gift from Bush to his 30% Catholic electorate in 2004.

better this way than an avalanche of flames between opposing positions; it would still be a sterile debate between people entrenched in their own viewpoints, and since the review explicitly takes a stance, those who think differently either dive into yet another boring debate or continue on their own path.

Sure, every administration does something good; even the worst bastard will manage to do something good sooner or later... it's just that in the case of Bush Jr., the wrongdoings far outweigh the good actions to the point that there's not even a need to make a speech to salvage what can be salvaged. Pull out the No Child Left Behind Act, and if we wanted to talk about that monstrosity known as the Patriot Act? And going back to education, is it normal in the year 2000 in the most powerful nation in the world to teach that abstinence is an ideal contraceptive? The stock market began to decline before the burst of the hi-tech bubble, and September 11th (which, let us remember, happened right before the mesmerized eyes of the Bush administration, who did not lift a finger on purpose despite being aware of it and let the attacks happen) inflicted absolutely modest damages on the American economy. I never said that the Reaganomics had anything to do with bank loans; read carefully, I said that the banks were reckless, but when I talk about Reaganomics, I directly blame the Bush administration, which transformed it into a reference economic model, with tax cuts for the rich in order to boost consumption and an out-of-control deficit. And it didn’t even work that well, because besides sending the union's finances into the red and further widening the gap between the rich and the poor, the drop in energy costs lasted only until the chaos in the Middle East erupted. The Reagan system taught people greed and a lack of scruples, so much so that there have been multiple discussions about saving capitalism from capitalists. And while it is true that the U.S. emerged well from the '80s, using the same models from 20 years earlier with an economy vastly different from that of 2000 did not pay off, except for the already filthy rich. The Republican liberal economic vision died with the recent nationalization of the banks by the government, marking the failure of the liberal economic policies of the '80s that were proposed as a model by the Bush administration. Communist me? I don't think so. I don't particularly care for the UN either, and the Israeli-Palestinian issue is so long and complex that I don't even want to start discussing it. But to say that Truman was worse than Bush Jr. simply doesn't exist, because no one has ever been as terrible as the outgoing administration.

Many critics and many sites place it in the horror-thriller category, so criticisms of the genre are pointless; who cares, I add... drinkable but I have never seen the masterpiece that is so often touted.

hmmm, what a drag these fake stories are, I don’t even know what to say anymore... a 14-year-old who can write (a checklist to take or leave) and reviews Hella, I'll at least congratulate her... but if it’s about Paolo, I struggle to find the words -_-
