“Qualcuno ti ama. Somebody loves you.”
Genre: Fiction
I’ve already shared this one before, but I’ll also include this wonderful book on the list.
The film was good. But wait until you read the book. Or the other way around. How do you actually do it? Book first then movie? Or movie first before reading the book?
I picked this novel because I fell in love with the movie. I love extraordinary plots, the ones that will make you applaud the author for being such a genius that he came up with something like that. And combine that unusual plot with a heartfelt narration, there you go–The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.
I love how it’s the “death and life” instead of the “life and death”. It shows a lot about the author’s personality (if I read into that correctly and it’s not just the literal death and life). I don’t know a lot about him (the way, for example, I know that Sarah Dessen loves dogs and has a very cute daughter with curly, golden hair), but I could tell to a certain extent the kind of person he is. One thing’s for sure–I’ll always be on the lookout for his other books.
This is also one of the stories wherein a side character gave life to the story in such a way that it won’t possibly work without him. The narration of Florio Ferrente is one of the most wonderful aspects of this book. It’s like listening to a wise man as he tells you his views about life and living.
