It's not that this was bad, it's that I thought it was one thing when I started reading, and it was really something else.

I may try again later, when I'm in the mood for something along this lines.

Seems to be the pattern with most of what I've read recently. Started promising and intriguing. Lost its way in the middle. Got confusing. And the ending left something to be desired. Just a little better than okay.

Great writing.  Unsatisfying ending.  I will read everything from this author.

W ogóle nie przypadła mi do gustu i strasznie mnie zmęczyła (usnęłam przy niej 4 razy)

Very confusing book. Sometimes mixing genres can be an intersting thing, this one was a flop. Interesting and engaging at the beginning but lost pace throughout.

Un inquietante fenomeno avviene nei cimiteri: la sparizione di cadaveri e il loro strano spostamento. Sembra che dietro ci sia un evento soprannaturale e ad indagare al caso viene assegnato il tenente londinese Gregory.

Un Lem che non ti aspetti, visto che di lui ho divorato e apprezzato i suoi celebri romanzi di fantascienza come Solaris e Il Pianeta del Silenzio, stavolta il Nostro si cimenta nel genere giallo alla Maigret, dove si indaga su uno strano caso dalle origini non umane, addirittura si parla di risurrezioni misteriose ma il detective è abbastanza scettico e seguirà una pista più scientifica e umana.

Sinceramente non mi ha colpito, anzi, spesso mi ha annoiato. La spiegazione finale fa davvero star male (nel senso che ti aspetti una soluzione più complicata). Peccato.
