Ajbarbieri started reading Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos) by Dan Simmons (Hyperion Cantos)
Epic - read it on recommendation from my son - maybe he's trying to tell me something about father-son-brothers relationship dynamics?

Ajbarbieri reviewed Il Partigiano Johnny by Beppe Fenoslio
Divisivo nel mio giudizio
3 stars
Mi è piaciuta l'onestà nella approccio non romantico della vita partigiana e il personaggio. Ma ho fatto fatica con il linguaggio non per le parole in inglesi ma per l'uso per me eccessivo di aggettivi anche se i critici non sono d'accordo con me!

Civil War and Brutality
4 stars
Quite interesting book (I am a Beevor avid reader); historically for sure. Brutality is incredible - no ideology backing on both sides and a swirl of other nations impacted by Russia as today. And one more tale of British military involvment!

Not for me

Interesting setting but it did not grow me. Some bad sex and no thrilling parts that engaged me.

Great Story, Difficult Read
3 stars
Three star: even if I am in the space business, I found that sometimes technical details where too long sometimes and too difficult to visualize; also the plotline is ambitiously and engaging, but sometimes a little bit too American Movies style if you know what I mean (for example that the destiny of all humanities was unbelievably all tied to people in the space station at that particular time...).
