The history
Girls Dress Onyx, or whatever the latest brand in terms of body, speak of Avant, of Marsan and fashions of the last minute. The two guys running with their scooters, or with "Vitarino" or better with the BMW long, perhaps frigate to his dad. The girls are preparing to meet the boy of their lives. The guys challenge each other in tests of physical endurance, speed, risk. Until the last breath. Against the backdrop of a hectic life of the clan, band (the legendary group of Budokan: Schell, Chicken, Lucone), Step and Babi meet. Babi is an excellent student, Step (Tony) is a violent, thug, one who spends his afternoons in the plaza in front of the bar with friends or at the gym and in the evening on the bike or in the gambling den where you play billiards. Belong to two different worlds, but fall in love. It is not an easy relationship because neither gives way easily. Yet they are transformed. Babi seems beyond recognition in the eyes of parents. Step reveals little aspects that coincide with its image - painstakingly built - from superduro. In fact, muscle fitness and violence hiding an injury, an unresolved that casts a dark shadow on family life on the Step and tormented love story with Baby. "Three Steps Over Heaven" is a novel of daily lives. There is the boredom, fatigue, the banality of existence underground. There's the adrenaline, the drama of physical confrontation, the test of masculine strength. There is a universe that one part looks at the teenage romantic comedies and the other a portrait of youth in disarray as well as tell a Paolo Crepet.
Comment
First of two books on the history of Moccia two teenagers, young and complex Step and Babi, brilliant girl and mature, maybe sometimes too much for her age.
beginning is a bit slow, but once entered into the heart of the novel, the story takes hold and grows in an engaging, if often seems a bit too forced and the character of the protagonists do not exactly reflect the reality that surrounds us .
the backdrop of a modern-day Rome, a love story between two guys, totally different to how they react to the difficulties they encounter.
A tale of our times, which brings us back to the glories of an adolescence in which the fantastic dream of love was coveted by many. A write
light, unpretentious, but overall I liked it just for that feeling of illusion that has caused me and for moments of leisure he gave me.
Not a Best Seller, the classic "Book from under the umbrella on the beach."
