Rating: 4 stars I found Annihilation to be shorter than I expected, but that wasn’t a bad thing. The book starts off reading as a lab report in some ways, but as the story progresses the stilted narration becomes more fluid, which matches the thematic elements of the story very…
Rating: 5 stars This book is only in Italian, so buyer beware. However, I’m writing my review in Italian and English. English: This is one of my first gialli/crime story, so I may not know many of the tropes. However, I would judge that Sechi goes out of his way…
