"Memorji.
Memorji biss kien għad fadal.
Kemm hi stramba l-ħajja!
Kultant nimmaġinaw li nkunu ser ngħixu għall-eternità. Meta fil-fatt kull wieħed u waħda minna diġà għandu s-sentenza tiegħu miktuba."
4/5 stilel
Ktieb eċċellenti bi storja tassew interessanti! Niftakarni nara wkoll id-dramm Rubini xi snin ilu ma' familti u mill-ewwel kien laqatni. Fl-istess ħin, ħadt gost ħafna iktar naqra dal-ktieb.
Il-karattru ta' Angel jibqa' żgur wieħed li qatt mhu se ninsa; l-aspett psikoloġiku mhuwiex normalment muri fil-letteratura Maltija, u l-kitba ta' Calleja f'dan ir-rigward kienet tassew intriganti.
Apparti minn hekk, dan il-ktieb jgħaddik minn diveri emozzjonijiet, li attwalment, ikomplu jżidu mal-impatt letterarju.
"Imma l-ħajja m'għandniex kontroll fuqha.
U kienet kaxkritu magħha f'postijiet fejn qatt ma kien ħolom li kien ser imur."
Kif indikat minn dawn il-kwotazzjonijiet li għażilt, għoġbuni wkoll id-dikjarazzjonijiet eżistenzjali li tagħmel Calleja.
Finalment, nista' nikkonkludi li Rubini huwa wieħed mill-iktar kotba li ħadt gost naqra bil-Malti. Għaldaqstant, inħeġġeġ lil kulħadd biex jaqra dan il-ktieb :)
