A volte， pensò dentro la casa sul mare celeste， si può scegliere la vita che si vuole。E， se si è abbastanza fortunati， magari quella vita ci sceglie a sua volta。Questo libro è tante cose。 È un caldo abbraccio avvolgente。È una coperta che ci protegge dal vento gelido。È una tazza di cioccolata calda durante una tempesta di neve。È un calippo in piscina col sole che picchia sopra la testa。È un libro meraviglioso a cui tutti dovrebbero dare una possibilità。 Una， cercando però di andare oltre， di tene A volte， pensò dentro la casa sul mare celeste， si può scegliere la vita che si vuole。E， se si è abbastanza fortunati， magari quella vita ci sceglie a sua volta。Questo libro è tante cose。 È un caldo abbraccio avvolgente。È una coperta che ci protegge dal vento gelido。È una tazza di cioccolata calda durante una tempesta di neve。È un calippo in piscina col sole che picchia sopra la testa。È un libro meraviglioso a cui tutti dovrebbero dare una possibilità。 Una， cercando però di andare oltre， di tenere la mente aperta ed elastica e di non soffermarsi solo sulle apparenze o le informazioni iniziali。 Come Linus il protagonista， assistente sociale， umano， il lettore verrà attraversato da una miriade di sfumature di un bellissimo mondo a colori， pieno di magia， di accettazione e rispetto， un mondo pieno d'amore。 Capostipiti di queste premesse sono loro， i sei bambini magici che abitano nell'orfanotrofio dell'isola di Marsyas。 Abbiamo una gnoma， un volpino mannaro， una viverna， un esserino non identificato munito di tentacoli， uno spirito della foresta e lui， come ciliegina sulla torta， Lui… un bambino di sei anni che altri non è che Lucifero…Il compito di Linus è semplice， dovrà per un mese intero supervisionare l'orfanotrofio e mandare a cadenza settimanale un rapporto alla Suprema Dirigenza… alla fine del mese Linus farà ritorno alla sua normalissima vita di assistente sociale e i piani alti decideranno se chiudere definitivamente l'orfanotrofio。A gestione della struttura c'è， però， Arthur Parnassus， un uomo elegante ed enigmatico， che ama i suoi bambini e che è disposto a tutto per proteggerli…T。 J。 Klune fa bene tutto。 Questo racconto è dolce senza essere zuccheroso， è profondo senza essere pesante。 Gli eventi scorrono con una facilità naturale。 Si ride tantissimo grazie alla spontaneità dei bambini， ci sono dei messaggi veramente meravigliosi racchiusi in queste pagine che non stonano mai。 Punta di diamante dell'intera storia sono proprio loro， i bambini， ognuno diverso， magico， particolare ma che con pochissime parole riesce in un nano secondo a spiazzare la facciata del lavoratore ligio al dovere di Linus e a far sciogliere il cuore del lettore… L’autore ha creato una sinfonia perfetta， una magia straordinaria che è riuscita come nessun’altra a farmi sperare in un mondo più umano！💖（Si， ho pianto…）LETTURA SUPER CONSIGLIATA！ 。。。more

I liked it at the end but it took me reading 50% of the book until I got into it。 And that just doesn’t do it for me…

Forse il miglior libro che ho letto quest'anno。Quando lo leggi all'inizio， ti da un pò l'idea di Fantozzi unito alla saga di Miss Peregrine， poi leggendo ti affezioni ai personaggi e ti dispiace quasi che debba finire Forse il miglior libro che ho letto quest'anno。Quando lo leggi all'inizio， ti da un pò l'idea di Fantozzi unito alla saga di Miss Peregrine， poi leggendo ti affezioni ai personaggi e ti dispiace quasi che debba finire 。。。more

Ein wunderbares Buch mit einer inspirierenden Geschichte。Diese Erzählung ist wirklich magisch。 Ich liebe einfach jeden der Charaktere in diesem Buch， vor allem die Kinder sind einfach großartig。 Alle Charaktere sind lebendig und greifbar。 Das Weisenhaus und seine Umgebung sind wunderschön。 Es mag keine "hohe Literatur" sein und hier und da gibt es auch kitschige Momente。 Die Geschichte ist insgesamt aber einfach zauberhaft und mit einer wundervollen， motivierenden Botschaft。 Ein wunderbares Buch mit einer inspirierenden Geschichte。Diese Erzählung ist wirklich magisch。 Ich liebe einfach jeden der Charaktere in diesem Buch， vor allem die Kinder sind einfach großartig。 Alle Charaktere sind lebendig und greifbar。 Das Weisenhaus und seine Umgebung sind wunderschön。 Es mag keine "hohe Literatur" sein und hier und da gibt es auch kitschige Momente。 Die Geschichte ist insgesamt aber einfach zauberhaft und mit einer wundervollen， motivierenden Botschaft。 。。。more

This book was incredibly colorful， from the characters down to the scenery， without being overly descriptive。 I thought the premise - magical children locked away from society in orphanages - was really unique。 It truly has it all: adventure， magic， suspense， romance， and moral dilemmas。 The only thing I didn't like was that the characters all felt very one dimensional。 They each had their "shtick" and never deviated。 This one is shy; that one has morbid humor; this one is grumpy; etc。 Fortunate This book was incredibly colorful， from the characters down to the scenery， without being overly descriptive。 I thought the premise - magical children locked away from society in orphanages - was really unique。 It truly has it all: adventure， magic， suspense， romance， and moral dilemmas。 The only thing I didn't like was that the characters all felt very one dimensional。 They each had their "shtick" and never deviated。 This one is shy; that one has morbid humor; this one is grumpy; etc。 Fortunately， the vast cast of characters came together to form， as a collective， a really neat group。 。。。more

This book is kindness， and hope， and joy， and happiness， and benevolence， and acceptance， and beauty， and purity， and love， and every bit of it is wonderful。 This tale made me happy and sad， it made me laugh and oh boy did it make me cry for no reason。 I knew how it was gonna end。 It didn't matter。 It didn't stop emotions from shattering every piece of my soul。Because this book represents everything I hope for in life。 It is a tale of accepting people for who they are， despite their differences， This book is kindness， and hope， and joy， and happiness， and benevolence， and acceptance， and beauty， and purity， and love， and every bit of it is wonderful。 This tale made me happy and sad， it made me laugh and oh boy did it make me cry for no reason。 I knew how it was gonna end。 It didn't matter。 It didn't stop emotions from shattering every piece of my soul。Because this book represents everything I hope for in life。 It is a tale of accepting people for who they are， despite their differences， and realising how much love there is in the world。It is so hopeful because， yes， hate exists too and it would be stupid not to acknoledge it。 But there is so much love in the world and， if we can focus on it， maybe it can be enough。My heart is so full of all these children， of all their stories so unique， of all their quirks and their jokes， I feel like it is about to explode。May everyone find a home like that house in the cerulean sea， soon or late， and may everyone be happy。Do yourself a favor and read this book。 Because it may not seem like much but there are so many wonderful feelings inside it that it will change you forever。 。。。more

Linus Baker é um funcionário do DICOMY （algo como Departamento Encarregado de Jovens com Habilidades Mágicas）， um funcionário que segue a risca as regras e regulamentos da empresa。 Por ser assim， Linus recebe a tarefa de ir a um determinado orfanato para saber se as 6 crianças que lá vivem podem acabar trazendo o que conhecemos como fim do mundo。 Talvez essa seja a melhor de começar a falar sobre The House in the Cerulean Sea。Aqui somos apresentados a essas seis crianças， ao diretor do orfanato， Linus Baker é um funcionário do DICOMY （algo como Departamento Encarregado de Jovens com Habilidades Mágicas）， um funcionário que segue a risca as regras e regulamentos da empresa。 Por ser assim， Linus recebe a tarefa de ir a um determinado orfanato para saber se as 6 crianças que lá vivem podem acabar trazendo o que conhecemos como fim do mundo。 Talvez essa seja a melhor de começar a falar sobre The House in the Cerulean Sea。Aqui somos apresentados a essas seis crianças， ao diretor do orfanato， Arthur， e a Zoe que ajuda a cuidar de tudo。 Conforme você vai se aprofundando na história é impossível não ir se apegando， é como se estivéssemos vivendo através de Linus， tendo experiencia de toda a mudança que vai ocorrendo dentro dele。 Essa história fala sobre julgar alguém por um titulo que lhe foi imposto， sem ao menos ter tido a chance de conhecer a real pessoa ali， fala sobre o não entender， não conhecer que se torna medo e cresce para um preconceito cego e perigoso。 Mas também fala de amor， de afeto， carinho e cuidado。 Sobre aceitação e sobre fazer o bem。Destaque total para Talia e Lucy， que são uma gnomo e Lucy… Bom， Lucy você precisa conhecer durante a leitura， e é bom que você leia se não quiser que ele faça seu sangue ferver e cozinhe todos os seus orgãos internos ao colocar o mundo em chamas。 Fofo demais ele！TJ Klune constrói uma narrativa tão fluida que você não quer parar de ler， você ri， se emociona e sente tudo o que ele quer que você sinta durante a leitura。 É um dos livros mais apaixonantes que já li。Em breve o livro será lançado no Brasil， ainda esse ano pelo que sei， porém ainda não tenho conhecimento de por qual editora （temos nossas preferências， né？）， mas o importante é que essa linda história vai poder alcançar ainda mais pessoas。 。。。more

This book is more whimsical than words can describe。 Like。。 it features a sweet small boy with an all consuming dream of becoming a bellhop， for him alone I would give this book 10 stars if I could。

I absolutely loved this book！！ I was nearing the end ， so I waited until everyone was in bed， so I could read without distractions。 I was up until 1:30am。 I didn't want it to end。 I now have a book hangover。 I absolutely loved this book！！ I was nearing the end ， so I waited until everyone was in bed， so I could read without distractions。 I was up until 1:30am。 I didn't want it to end。 I now have a book hangover。 。。。more
