С последната книга в серията за Бънк Ромеро Емил Минчев направо изби рибата. Книгата е без скучен момент. Сюжетът е внимателно изграден и богат на детайли и стари герои събрани на едно място за една последна грандиозна битка. Има супер-много кървища, ...more

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”

Mahatma Gandhi
“I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian.”
Mahatma Gandhi
