 "Cuore as a kind of 'deontological code' of the perfect Italian, the best educational tool for the offspring of a Kingdom still immersed in differences."

 "A quick read-through of a work like Cuore would have avoided the waste of books, brochures, and various papers and spared speakers and teachers from the tedious task of instructing students."

Cuore by Edmondo de Amicis is a cornerstone of Italian children’s literature that examines virtues, ethics, and patriotism in post-unification Italy through the eyes of a young boy. The book contrasts rebellious and virtuous children to convey moral lessons and national pride. Enrico Bottini’s diary format, enriched with exemplary stories, has long served as an educational tool. The review sees Cuore as a valuable antidote to modern disengagement with patriotic ideals. Discover the timeless virtue and patriotism of Edmondo de Amicis' Cuore — a classic Italian tale every reader should explore!

 Manowar, it is often said, are like fried lard: you either love them or hate them.

 Despite their not-so-tender age, the group manages to hold the stage well, but the setlist is not the best, focusing mainly on their older and more recent, less inspired works.

The review offers a mixed impression of Manowar's 2011 concert at O2 Academy Brixton, highlighting devoted fans and solid musicianship despite the band's aging and uneven setlist. The show is described as short and enjoyable in a limited way but not compelling enough to revisit. The band's classic and recent material received a lukewarm response, reflecting the reviewer’s partly nostalgic but mostly critical stance. Discover the highs and lows of Manowar’s 2011 Brixton show—read the full review and decide if their live power still rings true!

 "A Foot In The Door is a script of the 2001 album, just a bit slimmed down to fit all the tracks on a single CD."

 Roger Waters himself described them as 'just rubbish,' which I think is a concise but effective judgment.

This review criticizes Pink Floyd's 'A Foot In The Door' compilation for being a slimmed-down repetition of the 2001 'Echoes' best-of album. The reviewer finds the track choices unbalanced, focusing heavily on commercial hits post-1973 while neglecting earlier, experimental works. Later songs included are regarded as poor quality, echoing Roger Waters' dismissal.
