Letto al liceo, nel periodo dell'esaltazione hessiana. Mi era piaciuto da matti, ma probabilmente se lo rileggessi oggi non avrei la stessa reazione.
Thirteenth Child is set in a world that takes inspiration from our own. It is the time of the expansion westward, but this time, the settlers have magic. The system of magic is also intricate - there is not just one, but three different types. This world is introduced through the eyes of Eff, the unlucky thirteenth child in her family, the twin to a double seven son (the seventh son of a seventh son), who is considered the luckiest type of person. The tale covers their childhood as they grow up, moving west and encountering wild types of magic and creatures. Fun adventure!
i went through a martin amis phase in college. he's witty, crass and a great writer of flesh-and-blood characters. this one is a mind bender. my memory of it is reading it before bed, waking in the middle of the night, and thinking confusedly that i had to go back to the previous evening.
