COMMENT: This novel has pleased many and I also read many positive reviews but I was disappointed a lot. When characters in a novel I did not come in my head and do not feel "alive" I can not say that the book is fully successful. I admit that the story is good and that the author of a proof of good writing but I heard it all a bit 'chilly. The characters in the novel are a bit 'of strangers and I have never felt "close". In addition, some things to get worse, the ending really ugly and contrived. In short, the conditions were good but the book has not proved to my expectations, perhaps too high. PLOT: James is a Venetian hotel porter. Rafael is a former Brazilian football goalkeeper. Both are on a date with destiny, but having been in front of a door is the only thing they have in common. The first, after five years of waiting, is to review the woman of his life: a married woman whose mantra is "do not mind expense," eternamene conflict between religious precepts and the astral. The second follows a telenovela actress, fleeing from the character who stole the soul. In a chance meeting and surreal James and Rafael will establish a unique relationship at times ambiguous, leading them to understand who they are and what they want. A sparigliare plans, in a purely theatrical history, we bring you two more women: a high-class prostitute of thinking to be like Jesus, and a young cashier hostage the family of the South and look for Lady Gaga. In the background, as well as the comings and goings of customers hotel, a Venice dashed as a watercolor postcards from far away, where people still speak in dialect, he is afraid of foreigners and can not do without a prosecco before dinner.
