Book Reviews of Cosmicomics
Book Review: Cosmicomics
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't quite know what I was expecting with this book, but this just wasn't it. I was looking forward to reading this for a while but it just didn't keep me interested. This book definitely has an interesting concept, but apparently that just isn't enough for me. Other people might like it, but it may just take a little work to stay interested. Don't let this review discourage you though; take a chance.Book Review: The Greatest Book Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I always hated reading translated books, but this one doesn't lose an ounce because of William Weaver and Calvino! I highly recommend reading this book. It is mind-blowing, funny, and it look me so long to read because after every sentence I would think for a while about the meaning, our meaning, and what was going on in Calvino's mind! This is a life-changing book.Book Review: None other can compare
Summary: 5 Stars
When I read Difficult Loves, I was impressed. I recommended it as the collection to read if you never read anything else in your life. Cosmicomics, however, has actually inspired me to stop reading for a time. It is the perfect set of short stories. There is no point in reading anything else.Book Review: Utterly Agog; Worshipful
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm thrilled that an English translation of this book is now widely available; for the longest time I've been recommending it to friends who did not read Italian. You have never read such stories before. Furthermore, there is no way that a quickie review can do them justice. BUY THIS BOOK.Book Review: I've lent it to all my friends
Summary: 5 Stars
and it's getting so worn I might have to buy a new copy. "Cosmicomics" is a charming book that fascinates English majors and physics majors alike - not many books can do that. The elegance and strength of Calvino's writing never fails to astound me.
