All the above would have failed however to make this book a fascinating read if it wasn't combined with Collins's beautiful prose and his sensitive and sincere writing. The descriptive writing paints a complete picture of the events and characters of the story; the cleverly executed plot and smooth flow of the story hold fast the readers to the story; the touch of humour here and there adds a bit of lightness to otherwise a grave story; the compassionate writing where Magdalen was concerned, emotionally moves the readers. No Name is yet another beautiful book by Wilkie Collins. Touching on a different legal concept, the book takes quite a turn from his more famous work - The Woman in White. Merging a legal concept with a heart touching story seems to be Wilkie Collins's style. It is truly appealing, especially when he exposes the gaps in law by which the very persons who need the protection of the law are left unprotected. Two sisters in Victorian England: the sensible and compliant Norah and the somewhat spoilt Magdalen Vanstone come from a good family. At their parents' sudden death, a family secret is revealed and the sisters are disinherited and become 'Nobody's Children'. Norah makes her way by becoming a governess, while Magdalen sets out on a cruise for justice and revenge, using her acting skills.Witzig fand ich auch die erwähnten Figuren oder Szenen zu Filmen bzw. Serien, die immer wieder in den Dialogen aufgetaucht sind. Where It All Began: The Bourbon Kid made his first appearance in Sanchez' bar, and it's where the final confrontation over the Eye of the Moon takes place but not the climax, which is in the police station. Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Elvis: A very skilled hitman who wears an Elvis Presley costume wherever he goes. The plot is a little out there... the author certainly has a vivid imagination. I'm not going to try to explain it, because it's too complicated, however I'll just say that it's a story of a stone called the 'Eye of the Moon' that is wanted by many of the characters in this book, due to the rumour that it has magical properties. The story follows their fight to be the one in possession of this stone. Specifically, to be the one in possession of the stone when the total eclipse falls over Santa Mondega.

Ceiling Corpse: The ultimate fate of Elvis is to be nailed to the ceiling with many, many knives. They don't hold him for long though. Please don't expect ACTUAL murdering going on or selling herself on the streets or anything LEWD like a close-up description of the skin texture of a frog. Red Herring: Bourbon Kid isn't the main villain; he's almost a distraction to the real Big Bad, Somers. The Movie Buff: One of the first thing Jensen and Somers find they have in common is their knowledge of cinema, for example discussing who they prefer between Ridley Scott and Tony Scott. The story follows the unfair situation of two sisters left orphaned by the sudden death of their parents and how they take the fateful news that leave them destitute of their parents' fortune. Sweet and innocent Norah accepts her due and starts working as a governess but her younger and spirited sister Magdalen starts planning her revenge and schemes a trap to recover their fortune, no matter the cost.b) Take a cabriolet to King's Cross and consort her saucy wares in that notorious environs, become the reknowned consort of the vile and famous, and conclude by wielding unfathomable power behind the scenes in the highest circles, enabling her to reach down and crush the evil estranged brother like an ant? Guns Akimbo: Owing to the genre, several examples during the story with the most notable one being Bourbon kid and his two Škorpion submachine guns.

Por lo demás, esta es una novela victoriana interesante y atípica, que me ha entretenido pero de la que esperaba mucho más. Sinceramente creo que le sobran páginas, pero soy consciente que la mayor pega que le pongo es personal, la disfrutarán mucho a los que les diviertan las pesquisas detectivescas. I just don't get it! What's the fuss around this book? The author should have gone to an editor, it would have helped him re-work his book in a good way and it could have been splendid! But not like this, it's still a big draft from a newbie. Più che un giallo, Senza nome è un romanzo drammatico e psicologico che tratta un tema molto spinoso nell'Inghilterra vittoriana, quello dei figli illegittimi. ­ Most importantly, how do all these people come to be linked to the strange book with no name? The anonymous, ancient book that no one seems to have survived reading? There's only one way to find out what happens when you listen the book with no name… Detective Miles Jensen is called to the lawless town of Santa Mondega to investigate a spate of murders. This would all be quite ordinary in those rough streets, except that Jensen is the Chief Detective of Supernatural Investigations.

The International Bestseller

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: The monks are completely clueless about the way the world works outside of their temple, but they are also some of the fiercest fighters in town. Jessica, as an unkillable creature, is even worse. Gorn: Some of the murders are insanely violent, and the novel doesn't shy away from describing them in all their gory details.

I should mention that this guy is one hell of an interesting writer if I can go by anything said by Dan Simmons in Drood, since the author is the main character! Muitas mortes (quase parecia uma referência a "Kill Bill"), algumas bem violentas, muitos ladrões, muito ambiente de bar. Foi este o texto na contra-capa do livro que me levou a adquiri-lo. Simplesmente isto. Ah e também o facto do livro se chamar "O Livro Sem Nome" e ser do autor - Anónimo.Not only the thriller in itself, but also the unconventional way of presenting the facts, the battle of Magdalen's conscience between good and evil and the outcome of the story teaches a lesson which is still useful nowadays.
