blurb
Cinfhen
The Monster of Florence | Douglas Preston
post image

Just got a big laugh after reading Douglas Preston describing “transitions” and “cultural differences” 😂😂😂In August 2000 he moved to Florence with his wife and two young children “ Living in Italy was going to be the adventure of a lifetime, for which we were singularly unprepared.” Yup!!!! #LifeOfAnExpat #NoClue

Cinfhen Ha @Suet624 I guess spanking is better than smoking 🚬 5y
Crazeedi This sounds like a great read! 5y
Insightsintobooks Oh thats sounds like a good read, plus I could use a laugh. 5y
Cinfhen Not too many laughs in this book @Insightsintobooks as it‘s a true crime about an Italian serial killer but it‘s compulsive and hard to put down @Crazeedi 5y
Insightsintobooks @Cinfhen well, that's what I get for not reading the description of the book but I think I'll still look into it. 5y
Cinfhen Hahaha @Insightsintobooks I‘ve done that before!!!! Preston is such a good writer that he DOES manage to bring gaiety to even the darkest subjects. 5y
Mdargusch I‘ve always wondered about this book since I love true crime. 5y
Cinfhen Im happy to send it to you @Mdargusch I think you will LOVE IT 5y

Very determined to get to this book sometime this year... whenever it is that I feel ready to tackle a harrowing chunkster about 3 Indians who get a #tickettoride to England, however illegally, and the struggles they encounter as immigrants in a new country. #heyjune

Plus: Boo makes a last minute appearance 😻

Reviewsbylola I want to just come over and stare at your books. 7y

RealBooks4ever It's a fever dream I hope to never have! Very hallucinagenic! I liked the book. 7y
Cinfhen @RealBooks4ever so David doesn't exist?!? I'm still really confused 🤷‍♀️ 7y
Cinfhen It's a quick read @emilyhaldi if you get to it please share your thoughts! 7y
RealBooks4ever @Cinfhen I think he did exist but now he exists only in her mind. I could be wrong! 🙃 7y
Reggie He exists in the body of another kid, I think he inhabits the little girl now. Just as now her daughter exists in the body of another kid. The curandera/witch screwed everything up. The mom was just hanging around spiritually, long enough to see if her daughter lived. If I remember correctly. Cause doesn't the dad come for the girl but she's not acting like herself. 7y
Cinfhen Thank you @Reggie that actually makes sense!!!!! You're awesome😘😘😘one more question....so the town's water is poisoned?? 7y
Reggie Yes 7y
Kappadeemom I just finished this- I think the reason she talks to “David” the entire time is that it‘s really Nina‘s body sitting in the hospital with her mom but David is in her body. Or vice versa. Hell, I don‘t know. There was some body swapping of some sort. Fertilizer was screwing the town 7y
Cinfhen Can u believe this book won the ToB this year??? It was such a mindfuck @Kappadeemom sorry for the language but just #keepingitreal 7y
