Jon Ladner rated a book it was amazing My Brilliant Friend (Neapolitan Novels, #1) by Elena Ferrante	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Exquisite. Densely emotional, with a fully developed sense of character and symbol, the intertwining of the two is hardly perceptible at times, culminating together in a devastating climax. It earns everything it does.

Important. It’s obvious why this one should be read. I’m glad I read it. But I didn’t really like it.

Great supplement for LLPSI. The most difficult aspect is the syntax, and at times the stories rely on more natural Latin constructions, which is difficult, but very helpful.
