Of course it’s coming, evil genius!! If you make observations that imply I should respond, what should I do?! Should I not respond?! And anyway: 1) Of course I don’t like them! Homework during the holidays is only liked by losers. I want to go out on my scooter and hang out with my girl during the holidays, not stay at home doing homework. 2) No, it’s not possible 3) No, that’s not true. There was no misunderstanding. There are simply those who understood my words (everyone else) and those who didn’t (you). 4) No, it wasn’t meant to be a joke: I genuinely had that doubt. 5) I hope so too 6) wait and see, it’ll come true. 7) Atalanta - Inter 3-1!!!

@Giusty: why, have I ever denied or excluded that your review could encourage someone to read this book?! There are two possibilities: either you’re stupid and don’t understand what I’m saying, or you’re messing with me pretending not to understand. Did I say that your review isn’t flowing? NO. Did I say that your review is heavy? NO. I only said that FOR ME the content of your review is exactly like what you can read in any book about literature or in any introduction to the novel, and that I don’t like this approach. Your review does not convey anything about what the reading of this book inspired in you: if it weren’t for the 5 stars, one might even think that this book made you feel like crap, given how aseptic and “objective” your analysis is. I repeat: the first comment from muito conveys more emotion than the entire review. What did you like about this book? We don’t know. What didn’t you like? We don’t know. What passages moved you the most? We don’t know. Why should someone read it? We don’t know. I don’t give a damn about who knows the book, who doesn’t know it, if someone will read it or if someone won’t read it. I said how I feel, I didn’t say that everyone should think like me, for goodness’ sake! I repeat: it’s not like every time I leave a comment other than “Great, beautiful review” I have to write a thesis on why and how. Especially if it’s a topic that has already been dealt with elsewhere. And if every little intellectual effort makes you let out a fart, that’s not my fault, for crying out loud.

As I feared, Giustiziere, you haven't understood anything from my comment... By now, on this site, it's practically impossible to express a concept more complex than "Kaka isn't for sale" without being forced to provide a detailed exegesis to explain its content. So, let's try again: I did NOT say that so-called "masterpieces" aren't worthy of review; quite the opposite. A review can be an excellent invitation to read and, eventually, to rediscover those books that, precisely because they are "masterpieces," are often snubbed regardless for being deemed "heavy," "boring," etc. What I'm saying is that it's pointless to provide a "scholastic" review of books that scholars and literary figures around the world have wrestled with for decades. For that, there are school texts (exactly), or even just the introductions found in novels. I simply believe that a wholly "non-technical" review, from which the sensations that the book has provoked in the reader emerge, is much more effective for that "rediscovery of the classics" I mentioned. In essence: PERSONALLY, I am not interested in knowing why a certain book is considered a masterpiece "by the world." What interests me is knowing why that book is considered a masterpiece by the reviewer! In this respect, I find the two comments by muito to be significantly more effective than the entire review. That's all. Then again, it’s just my personal opinion... I never said that reviews of "masterpieces" should be discarded!

I had been circling around this review for a few days, but - having sensed the subject matter - I wanted to read it slowly. I should preface this by saying that I’m as ignorant as a tile, yet in my small way, I feel like quoting comment 13 by sfascia: I believe that in this matter, it’s no longer the time for distinctions between good and evil, between the attacked and the attackers. Watching the news these days, one thing in particular struck me: those 3 hours of daily ceasefire granted by the Israelis for humanitarian aid. Honestly, more than an act of compassion, it seems to me pure madness: I don’t know... Something like: “Today they will bomb from 8 AM to 2 PM. From 2 PM to 5 PM, I can relax. But from 5 PM to midnight, it’s back to my problems.” I mean, watching those three hours go by must be terrible...

A site where all reviews must "be exciting at all costs, make you think, or bring a tear to your eye like in carramba che sorpresa, or even spark debates or make you die laughing" in my opinion would be the most beautiful on the web!! :))

@Martina: but you’re 14 and you’re already thinking about university?!? Anyway, if I were you, I wouldn’t trust a cousin who uses the adjective "professionalizzante"... but it's up to you.

Note. Let's just say that my stance is slightly softer than Alessio’s: for me, the review of the classic can be acceptable, provided that it offers a reading that is not exactly "original" (which is at least unlikely, especially given that these works have already been scrutinized closely), but at least "personal," in the sense of being "far from what one might find, for example, in a textbook." @Trota: unfortunately not. At the end of the book, the whale discovers that Flipper is actually having a good time with Willy, the orca from the Disney movie. Thus begins, for the poor albino cetacean, a period of suffering and loneliness that reaches its peak with the audition for a commercial for Rio Mare tuna.
