Book Reviews of the The Girl of His Dreams
Customer Review: Crime novel??!
Summary: 1 Stars
No surprise that Donna Leon's novels aren't translated into Italian. Nobody would care reading them, in fact. We are used to REAL crime novel, not to a dull description of a common week in a Questura. And there's something worse about it: Ms. Leon keeps on making Italian characters speak her own prejudices and wrong ideas about Italians (Italia=Mafia, pasta, pizza, racism), why doesn't she create an American Commissario?! And why does she live in a country she so openly hates?! I don't just dislike this book, I'm thoroughly offended by this amount of prejudices put into it. Let Giorgio Faletti and other great Italian novelists write real crime novels, or read Linwood Barclay and learn what crime is all about.
