"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," JK Rowling

Here! Like many avid readers and curious, I opened some time after receiving it (no, not even all of more ...), this last volume of the adventures of the hero who needs no introduction.

And now it's over ... A bit of nostalgia, a strange sensation to the idea that the adventure is over several years? Maybe.

few laps in the first part of Volume 7, ... but the atmosphere compensates enough.

Dumbledore died and left the responsibility to Harry and his two friends to find the last Horcruxes, objects in which Voldemort heart (Well, You-Know-Who) has buried some of his soul. While the evil sorcerer and his minions have the grip on the Ministry and Hogwarts, Harry is central to all research, become an element to be eliminated at all costs. Fruitless quest, restlessness, conflict, psychological evolution of our heroes and questions.

And that was really Dumbledore? And those famous Deathly Hallows ... a seductive power that might help eliminate Voldemort?

Even if the end has already been repeatedly revealed, I do not take sides in this column.

End Volume therefore epilogue of a long saga that has enthralled the crowds. And probably not the best, alas, even though in the vein of the previous room. Less excavated and pushed less well constructed, it may feel shortness of breath at dawn the author. A first part a little shuffling, a second part cons more intense, with a more turbulent evolution, although a bit messy towards a climax that is this long-awaited end. Who? How? Why?

truths are revealed, reversals of situations do not miss, the last pages devour. Finally answers to our questions ...

Good time in reading this, despite some reservations, good times in this series, especially, who, despite his success megalomaniac side, was really exciting.

Fabric To Make Fluffies

"Corto Maltese - La ballade Sea salt, "Hugo Pratt

For the fortieth anniversary of the first appearance in the Italian journal Sergeant Kirk, The Ballad of the Salt Sea , Casterman embarked on a re- large format (32 x 41 cm, anyway) on good paper, this series marked the first steps of Corto Maltese in the world of comics.

A character to the undeniable sense of honor, a hard heart (too?) Tender, which never departed from his sense of humor and its lack of rancor. We discover, it is appreciated in this adventure very "old pirate movie" has its charm, accentuated by the black and white drawing, yet not devoid of shades of Hugo Pratt.

For who knows nothing or little adventures of the famous pirate (like myself), The Ballad of the Salt Sea is probably a good way to find, even if we can not say that Corto takes a starring role here permanently, it is competed Pandora by the female character, nice girl and strong character, who will life on several occasions.

We are in the Pacific, it's war, the Great, but that seems far away. Can be seen passing contraband, rivalries, dreamy scenery and contrasting cultures. A breeze blows epic on these pages and it is very pleasant to be carried away.

A beautiful object, therefore, that this anniversary edition, although a bit bulky and difficult to carry (but who wants to take this risk?), Whose foreword and afterword (Gianni BRUNORO) open an extra eye, empathetic and warm on the world Corto Maltese (his personality, context, characters who revolve around him, its history, ...), a character who can not help but inspire some sympathy.
