Dear reader, for centuries a lost library in the world has hidden a secret. On their shelves is a mysterious book with no name or author. Who reads it ... just dead. Only the pure can see the pages of this book! Now it's your turn. Each page that passes, each chapter you read, you approach the final. Come the dark, and with it great evils. But relax, you're not alone. The amnesic and sexy Jessica, Rodeo boxer Rex, Santino criminal, two monks karateka, a murderer dressed as Elvis Presley, two clueless cops and many offenders will accompany by the violent streets of Santa Mondego. Soon, a solar eclipse will plunge the city into total darkness ... They say that Bourbon Kid is back and looking for a mysterious stone. Get ready for the bloodbath!
I will say that this book is an irreverent mix of the aesthetic of Quentin Tarantino and The Da Vinci Code . But remember: all those who have read The unnamed book e are dead. The only way to know why read it yourself ... luck!
When you are in our day a book signed as Anonymous also bears the title of which concerns us, awakens our curiosity to say the least. However, the synopsis of the book is somewhat ambiguous and vague and may even mislead the reader about what their pages will be found. Begin by saying that they have not recognized any key moment to take me to think that Tarantino has passed into literature, if any director could say this by reading The Book with No Name maybe it could be Robert Rodriguez. Nor has reminded me at all, The Da Vinci Code. Nor have I seen anything that reminds me of Stephen King, who, some say out there, give authorship.
Returning to the book itself, it is noteworthy that although the principle is a bit chaotic and even can become tedious as the plot progresses, the author manages to increase the dramatic tension and intrigue, bringing the point of climax that almost coincides with the end. Still, the characters are shown timidly, perhaps with little depth, something that in this case is not relevant since history almost as agile flying is reading. The environment itself, from the beginning, it is somewhat surreal, his characters are no less, most of them always involved in the mystery of his origin and identity. That is something that is clear from the beginning about this strange place that "does not appear on maps or in the news" quote almost verbatim. should not become attached to any of these quirky characters, as the book, if something looks like Tarantino style (guess that's why I have posted this owl) is a highly criminal trend that does not allow anyone (or almost anyone) out alive from its pages.
If we talk about the plot and try to bring the reader to it, the appearance of the library (I think it refers to the single library that just goes in the book) is rather irrelevant, in fact, even the book is relegated to second or third place. The real protagonist of this story is the Eye of the Moon , a blue gemstone which apparently has some magical attributes and, to some extent, is cursed and hurts everyone who has in his possession. The story begins speaking of a past in which, five years earlier, a ruthless and mysterious murderer nicknamed Kid Bourbon, annihilates all customers a bar, Tapioca . Everyone dies, except for Sanchez, the waiter. Gradually we will unravel aspects of this story will be spinning others and will bring us straight into a city like Santa Mondego, a place for anything but normal. Supernatural populate the streets of the city without even noticing it until late in the novel, I imagine that to keep the surprise effect. What happens is that it is not so. Similarly, any imbalance that may have this first part of the trilogy is forgivable, because reading invites further work on the story and see who's who in the cluedo . Vampires, scarecrow come to life for one hour at midnight, werewolves ... All this appears in a very subtle, while the author gets to see it as something normal, everyday. Us into the lives of dozens of criminals with ease and brings us closer to a pitiless world where the distrust is the currency.
Ultimately, and not to continue gutting the novel, I think for fans of Tarantino's films and Robert Rodriguez, including John Woo, this novel will make you smile in more than one occasion, it has many references film (another detail that suggests that the author may have been involved in this scene before giving the key) and its scenes are agile and very visual. For lovers of literature gender, may disappoint. But overall, I liked it and recommend it. It reads, as I said, quick and easy, also is a good time as it is of such terror that sometimes borders on the humorous.
