I Pilastri Della Terra (Oscar Bestsellers) di Ken Follett

Avevo intenzione di leggere I pilastri della terra da tantissimo tempo e ho preso la palla al balzo quando mi è stato proposto di prenderlo in prestito. Inutile specificare che avessi della buone aspettative su questo romanzo, così osannato in lungo e in largo.

Ecco, bisognerebbe sempre fare molta attenzione a crearsi delle alte aspettative quando ti presentano un libro con strilloni del tipo “il romanzo che ha venduto oltre 14 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo”. Di fatto non vogliono dire niente: magari il libro ha fatto schifo alla maggioranza di loro.

Comunque, lasciando da parte le strategie di marketing dell'editoria, cominciamo a parlare de I pilastri della terra e di cosa non mi è piaciuto. Innanzi tutto, è troppo lungo. Ken Follett ci ha propinato 1030 pagine di monotone e fastidiose ripetizioni: l'intero romanzo è una partita di calcetto tra buoni e cattivi. Chi segna più reti vince – e indovinate un po' chi saranno i vincitori?
