Qualcuno con cui correre - recensione.


Questo romanzo scritto da David Grossman e pubblicato nel 2000 natta la storia di una ragazzo adolescente molto timido ed impacciato che durante l'estate lavora nel municipio di Gerusalemme.

Un giorno gli viene assegnato il compito di trovare il padrone di una cagna che è stata abbandonata per strada, Dinka, e di portare una multa da pagare al suo proprietario.
Lui si affezionerà alla cagna che lo porterà a conoscere molte cose, prima una suora di clausura Dorothea, e poi Leah, la proprietaria di un ristorante. 
Tutte queste persone e questi giri lo riporteranno alla proprietaria della cucciola, Tamar, che in quel momento era impegnata nella ricerca di suo fratello Shay, che per colpa di alcune brutte conoscenze si ritrova incastrato in un brutto circolo di ''drogati'' quello di Pessah, da cui ha difficoltà ad uscire. 
Tamar aveva pianificato tutto per tirare fuori suo fratello dai guai, i razionamenti di cibo che gli sarebbero serviti durante l'astinenza quando l'avrà liberato, l'acqua, tutto, ed è nel momento della disintossicazione che Assaf conosce Tamar, e lei avrà finalmente ''qualcuno con cui correre'' proprio come dice il titolo del libro, qualcuno che sia in grado di aiutarla nel bene e nel male a far uscire suo fratello dai guai.

Questo libro, come dice la trama, porta appresso un significato molto forte, ed è la difficoltà dall'uscire da una dipendenza come quella dalla droga, e la difficoltà ad uscirne da soli. 
Il circolo di Pessah rappresenta metaforicamente la mente, e tutte le volte che ci diciamo che non riusciremo mai a farcela, che saremo convinti che non sia possibile e rimaniamo incastrati in quelle idee quando l'uscita è facile.
Ma poi vengono i nostri cari a salvarci.

Consiglio vivamente la lettura di questo libro, è scorrevole, scritto benissimo, lento nei punti giusti per farvi assaporare pienamente il colpo di scena, si legge in due giornate senza staccarsi.

La mia valutazione è otto su dieci.

Why you should read the ''Shatter me'' series right now.

I've read many reviews about the Shatter me series.  And I have this bad habit of buying things and then reading reviews, when I watched some YouTube videos of people talking about this series I was kind of regretting the choice of buying it without knowing anything about it. The book got here, I got an edition with three books in one, and I started it looking for a reason to hate it But at the end I started it with no particular expectation. I started the first book, I wasn't loving it but I was still interested in the story. For those of you who may not know, the shatter me series follows the story of Juliette, a girl who's touch is deadly, she can kill people just touching them. She has been considered a monster by everybody and no one actually ever loved her, until she knows a guy that looks like he's immune to her touch. There is some kind of love triangle at the beginning, there is some insta love, but trust me, just go on with the series, i...

Book review: Did I mention I love you?

 This book was terrible. I think this is the lowest rate I've ever given and I don't want to be too evil because the author of the book at the time of the book coming out was 17, she was so young and still has a lot of room for improvement.  Props to her for being able to get published at this young age.  This is the usual novel discovered by a publisher on Wattpad and we follow the story of the main character Eden following the "California dream" she, like many girls her age, has always dreamed of visiting California. Her mom and dad are divorced and her dad decides to show up in her life asking her if she wanted to go spend some time with him and his new wife and kids in California. She said yes and as soon as she gets there she hates the place, and at the end California was not what she was expecting.  She meets her stepbrother and he is the one she'll fall in love with. I'm going to stop here with the plot to avoid spoilers in case you are...

Restore me - book review - NON spoiler review and discussion

I know I have to stop prewriting articles because I always end up changing my mind.  So, I finished the Shatter me series (non spoiler review  here ) or at least I finished the first three books of the series thinking that they were the only ones. I thought, maybe I just need to read the novellas to know what's going to happen next. Then I found out that there are other books to the series, Restore me and Defy me. I've written a TBR and a wrap up already because I didn't think I was going to read Restore me now, my plans changed so I'll be deleting that post because I'll probably be finished with Defy me by tomorrow and it's technically still october.  The last two books are not available in italian so I had to directly order them from the U.K to Italy 'cause my stupid brain couldn't think of Amazon at that moment.  It said that I would have received the books by the 12th of November, I just couldn't wait that much, I saw that the ebooks...
