It was quite sad but interesting. It was a bit slow and a litle to long.

I read the original version back in college and loved it. This is a revised version with some additional content that was edited out originally. It fills out the story and characters much more. It was great to revisit these characters.

I love this book so much I have two copies - just in case one disappears, or gets ruined. So amazing!

"Gli occhi di Mr Fury" è un romanzo strano ai confini tra realtà e magia.. E credo di non riuscirlo ad apprezzare al cento per cento per una mia incapacità di trascendere dalla realtà (e non che non riesca ad apprezzare i fantasy, tutt'altro.. Ma un romanzo per me deve essere tale, senza elementi 'magici', 'sovrannaturali' e via dicendo.
Forse non sono riuscita ad apprezzarlo anche per una mia limitata sensibilità.. O ancora: l'ho desiderato per così tanto tempo che forse la delusione è ancora più cocente :(
Chi lo sa.. Fatto sta che il romanzo mi ha un po' lasciato con l'amaro in bocca e pur riconoscendo la bellezza di alcune descrizioni il modo in cui è raccontato, i dialoghi un po' sterili, i personaggi che sono più ombre che altro e la malinconia intrinseca del racconto mi hanno lasciato titubante e.. Triste :/
