brgntteva's Reviews (939)

Sensitive, kind of fun, poignant, quiet and understated, so many books, classic and all, and yet so deep and personal issues (coming of age, homosexuality, suicide, love marriage and secrets). This is a really enjoyable and thought-provoking and just beautiful piece of art

Light and simple but never plain. AND with illustrations. Makes you wonder why you stopped reading poetry in the first place

All the love for this lovely erotic/romance, where two lovely characters meet, evolve, until they find a way toward acceptance, and love. Much love. ❤️

Chi sono così tante cose in questo libro che non so bene cosa pensarne. Adozione, amore, sessualità, la follia di una madre, soprattutto, ma anche la religione fanatica.

Ci sono tratti che ho lei come se li avessi scritti io, tanto mi sono familiari. Altri che mi hanno lasciato tiepida.

🤷

Scary af at first, some images are dreadful, at least to me, but the plot wasn't as compelling as the first, for instance, and it felt slightly dragging. And it left a question unanswered, but I can't but love it, anyway

Can't say I really liked it... too morale-oriented

I actually thought Conan Doyle was a great writer, and although the two characters are obviously amazing, I can't say the same of the stories, neither of the plot itself. Do you really have to dedicate a whole incredibly long final chapter in order to understand what the devil went on at the very damn beginning?? Thank God a marvelous series had been made out of it

Loved many things, writing and dialogues are brilliant, but I expected something more...
