Casagrande feels tridimensional and we get to reach Eppie, despite his alien nature.<br /><br /> Laughts galore but essential bits of drama and even tragedy are present as well. Will Casagrande be able to end in a dignified way while he faces the sunset? Will Eppie be able to create his masterwork?<br />It is easy to imagine the soundtrack from Beverly Hills Cop in the background in the final section of the story.<br />The end works in multiple levels, very satisfactorily. There are clues enough for the reader to suggest but not to impose (so that the final effect is stronger).<br />All in all, This story shows a very solid writer.Jomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489128625596226364noreply@blogger.com
