I'm quite curious to see it. I've read quite conflicting opinions, especially regarding the question "what does Portman have to do with ballet." As far as I'm concerned, after the lap dance in Closer, Portman is on par with Carla Fracci or thereabouts. And from what little I know of the plot, ballet is just a pretext to tell something else, but whatever. Of course, in the poster, Natalia looks like she was drawn by John Romita Jr...

Anyway, Geo, I was struck by your paragraph about empathy and the psychological depth of the characters. Well, it actually had the opposite effect on me: it seems to me that everything is described and told in such minute detail that in the end the reader has no leeway, no chance to "make the character their own," to imagine them perhaps differently from how another reader imagines them. I mean, how can you empathize with a character when you are told what's going through their mind even when they are doing pùpù?! (unless, of course, you’re keeping the book in the bathroom, which makes it all easier...)

P.S.: to be honest, my strong suit is the Christmas tree. But I have to say that I also managed quite well with the Nativity scene this year... thanks Stiegazzi!! ;))

Dear Geo, the events went more or less like this: I read the first one because I found myself stuck in bed for a long time and had nothing else to read. It kind of sucked, mainly because it should have been at least 1500 pages shorter. Then, within those pages, a decent discussion emerged in which I came off as the literary indie snob, and so I wanted to give the trilogy a second chance and read the second one too. It was a true physical agony: perhaps the flattest and unnecessarily verbose book I've ever read. The part where it describes Ikea furniture stripped away every joy of living or feeling from me. For days I hoped to unlearn how to read for fear I’d end up with something like that again. The third one is sitting there, huge like a brontosaurus's poop, challenging me from the shelf. At the moment, I lack the strength and time to take it on...

The rating for the work is an average calculated based on the social utility of the entire trilogy. With the first volume, I wiped my ass: rating 1 (really too rough. In the end, only the covers turned out to be somewhat tempting); with the second volume, I kept the fireplace going all winter: rating 3 (poor heat output, well compensated by the number of pages); for the third, I crumpled the pages and made mountains for the nativity scene: rating 5 (basically, it ended up being something like Christmas in the Himalayas). Too bad that due to this guy's logorrhea, an area of the Amazon rainforest as big as Mexico was cut down: rating 0.

This review is a taste of the sublime. Something to treasure within the feeling of sex. Thank you.

Two stars?!? The stars for the vote were there about 4 years ago. You see, a lot has changed since then... You, on the other hand, are still an idiot.

So, out of curiosity: has Tatangelo already sued her hairdresser or has she just asked her Gigetto to make him disappear?!?
