Advantages: Beautifully-written and translated Disadvantages: Gruesome, some flaws in the plot
Introduction
I've had a couple of bad experiences with books badly translated from the original language recently, but I'm glad I didn't let it put me off, because this book was well worth the read. Patrick McKeown, the translator, has done a superb job of converting a beautifully written book into English. The author, Luca diFulvio, has been likened to Thomas Harris, the author of the Hannibal Lecter novels, and there are definitely some comparisons to be made; also with Henning Mankell.

The author
Luca diFulvio is based in Rome. He writes both thrillers and, strangely, fairytales for children. The Mannequin Man was shortlisted for the European Crime Writing Prize and has been made into a film called Eyes of Crystal. It was ...
Advantages: Two perfect leads terrific sound and a beautiful orchestra Disadvantages: none
This recording relights a passion for Puccini, and Italian opera in general, that I have not felt since I was much younger and heard the Callas/de Sabata Tosca for the first time.

The sound here is very ...
Advantages: Smells Great Disadvantages: Can be expensive
Hi. I'm going to share with you my experiences with Armani's ACQUA DI GIO today.
This fragrance came out way back in 1996 following the successes of Armani Mania (1981) and Armani Eau Pour Homme (1984). I have no hesitation in saying that Acqua Di Gio too is a success.
Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men is constantly being advertised everywhere, particularly in Debenhams and Men's magazines such as Men's Fitness and Men's Health. This was a big factor behind me buying this because Armani weren't going to spend millions advertising this fragrance if it was not good. Neither would Debenhams display posters of it everywhere either.
I also bought my 50ml of Acqua Di Gio because of the positive reviews from word of mouth and from the Internet. I bought mine from Superdrug.
Anyway... Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men comes in a simple ...
