“Good German book for the identification of Grassland grasses. Mostly directed towards farmers, but also useful for other people, e.g. in ecology, wildlife management or conservation biology. Contains descriptions for grasses in florescence and without flowering, which is a big plus. On the other han” read more

“‘Proprio non ci arrivi’ continua a ripetere e a scrivere Veronica a Tony nella seconda parte del libro. Beh, non ha tutti i torti il protagonista maschile e voce narrante del romanzo. E’ vero, è un uomo qualsiasi (non ‘qualunque’), un vero ‘common man’ che, come la maggior parte degli” read more

“I am a big fan of Doc Savage but I have never been able to read all of this book. It's terrible! After at least three tries to read it I finally gave up and decided it was unreadable. The only thing this book has going for it is the usual fantastic cover by James Bama. This wasn't written by Lester ” read more

“Un largo maestoso che accompagna una lunga sequenza che percorre in soggettiva le strade di Pietroburgo ravvivate dal fermento di una primavera che sta sbocciando. Poi un motivo patetico mentre l’immagine stringe su una panchina lungo il fiume, dove due personaggi, che paiono lontani dal resto di ” read more

“I like the subject matter in this novel because I have worked in the fraud field before so I understand it a lot and you can learn a few things from this book. However, I think there was too much talking about the subject matter and not enough actual murders, which is why we all read these books to ” read more

“My first Jeffery Deaver novel and I was pleased overall. There were a couple good plot twists and even though I guessed the ending it was still done well. I like the criminal profiling info that Deaver puts in a few times in the book too. It helps you follow along more with the killers methods and m” read more

“Dopo averne letti un buon numero, faccio fatica ad avvicinarmi ai libri che trattano della sventurata spedizione italiana contro l’URSS perchè mi mette ansia ritrovarmi di fronte la presunzione e la criminale incoscienza di chi mandò a soffrire e morire migliaia e migliaia di innocenti.
