nikla88's review against another edition
2.0
Le mie aspettative rispetto a questo romanzo erano alte, cercavo qualcosa che mi aiutasse a capire qualcosa in più sul periodo denominato "the troubles", purtroppo questo libro mi ha delusa.
Non è un romanzo che lancia messaggi politici, né che riporta fatti storici o che descrive i luoghi coinvolti. Forse questi sono i motivi per cui non ho apprezzato il libro.
Ciò che ho trovato positivo è il messaggio che credo sia alla base di questo romanzo, anche quando tutto attorno è caos, guerriglia, povertà, le persone imparano a conviverci e ad andare avanti con le loro, seppur tristi, vite!

This book made me laugh (especially in the first half), cry (damn chapter eleven) and want to get on a plane and visit Belfast right away! Well deserved 5 stars!

Many years ago I wrote:
I finished "Eureka Street" for the book club. It was good. Definitely not something I would have read on my own, but the writer has a great style.
I don't remember liking it all the much, but there you go.

Nach über zwanzig Jahren mal wieder gelesen und immer noch so witzig, rotzig und traurig wie damals.
