Il marchio del diavolo

2/5 Estrellas Típica novela danbrownesca, si se me permite el adjetivo, pero que, ni mucho menos, tiene el nivel de los libros de este autor. Tenemos una secta o raza humana que, desde el principio de los tiempos, se ha dedicado a hacer y repartir el mal a diestro y siniestro y a buscar el disfrute de Leggi tutto

Better than Dan Brown, Glenn Cooper is a thriller's dream. I couldn't stop gripping my tablet while reading. Twists and turns galore and I gasped at the end. Such a rush. My Rating: 5++ stars

Flojo. Libro absolutamente prescindible. Iluso de mí que creyendo que leería algo tipo Dan Brown o Patrick Graham, por citar dos autores de un género que, en realidad, no controlo demasiado, he acabado leyendo algo totalmente insustancial, un experimento literario fallido.

2.5 stars. Ordinarily, this would have been a four star review. The plot was gripping, the book was well written, and the twists, turns and machinations are slowly revealed at just the right time so that you never know too much.

After you immediately then thought, 'well, how do they sit down?' 'Do they only 'mate' with others with tails?' 'How do th Leggi tutto

CW: spousal/partner death, attempted rape, child death Someday I will read a historical thriller featuring archeology that doesn't make me laugh or cry for bad reasons, but today is not that day. In the end, this was just Kit Marlowe slander /pro-Catholic Church propaganda, and I am the audience for n Leggi tutto

Bastante flojito comparado con los otros que he leído de él. La trama me ha resultado un poco aburrida y los personajes no transmiten nada. Elisabetta es insulsa y anodina, entiendo que es una monja pero... ¡Un poco de sangre en las venas, por Dios! Después se resuelve todo demasiado rápido y demasi Leggi tutto

Una trama bien llevada, bien hilada y bien resuelta, aunque un tanto a lo Hollywood (el origen americano del autor, supongo, le empuja a ello). El desenlace, como digo es un poco peliculero, no echa por tierra el trabajo, y es de agradecer. Temía una cagada a última hora, pero no ha sido el caso. La Leggi tutto
