ili newden f'hiex tfakkarni dik il-flipfloppa! Life of Brian! jaqaw hemm il-bidu ta religjon gdida?
niltaqghu nhar il-gimgha, pierre. issa kurjuz hafna izjed biex naqra x-xoghol il-gdid tieghek. jidher li hemm zvilupp interessanti.
Read it and loved it!! Email you soon as i literally just read the last page :)
Read it all the day I bought it ;D
Best book I've ever read in Maltese till now!
Hello Pierre. Il-ktieb, bhal hafna ohrajn, qrajtu f'nifs u hallieni minghajru. Personalment rajtek kuragguz bizzejjed biex ittemm ir-rumanz bil-mod kif temmejtu. Il-fatt li nghix fit-tip ta' ambjent rurali li tiddeskrivi b'majestrija, gieghlni napprezza izjed ix-xoghol tieghek. PS: Forsi tikkunsidra taqra xi siltiet jekk tinzerta xi serata tal-grupp waqt li tkun ghadek f'Malta.
Even if due to working late I was not able to attend the launch of your latest work of art, today I managed to buy a signed edition and I found the book very intriguing and it kept me hooked till the last page and I had to keep on reading it to find out how it is going to end. I simply loved it especially since it is a twisted plot and I love twisted ends...
I know I may sound like a broken record, but I loved your Rih Isfel, Pierre. It's like a photogallery of the village I was raised in myself. And as a storyteller I think you did a brilliant job.

Jien waqaft mill ktieb (ohxon) li kont naqra biex naqra Rih Isfel. Qatt ma niftakar li ltqajt ma ktieb bil Malti li laqatni daqshekk. Ibda biex ma kull ftit versi titlaqa ma xi haga li ggaghlek titbissem u anke tidhak imma fl-istess hin tidhol f'storja serja li tkun mejjet biex issir taf kif ser tispicca!
Prosit hafna Pierre! Spiccajna naqraw siltiet minnu waqt BBQ!
Issa ha nkompli naqra l-ktieb l-ohxon (ROSE MADDER ta Stephen King) :-)

Nice One... I read the whole book in a day. Reminded me of alot of local charachters and scenes that only we residents of San Filep can really understand!
Il-Baggio
I don't usually buy books in Maltese, except those by Immanuel Mifsud. But I bought yours after reading Claire Bonello's review last Wednesday. I read it that same night and got so involved that while watching the news in the evening I sort of expected a mention about the boy! Congratulations.

I bought your book when I went to pick up my copy of the last Harry Potter. And I ended up reading yours first! It is actually brilliant. Well done. Immanuel Mifsud has a competitor...lol
am i the only that didn't really like it? I obviously think Pierre has great mastery of maltese and I can relate a lot to the village way of life he is depicting but i feel the story comes short on characterisation and the plot was barely enough for a short story rather let alone a full fledged novel. That's just my thoughts though. I will still gladly buy your next offering Pierre.

PS: Rih Isfel was enjoyed on this side of town.
re: il-kumment ta' marju l-brikkun
tagħmel erba' punti interessanti, imma fl-opinjoni tiegħi, Riħ Isfel huwa wieħed mill-ftit kotba bil-Malti li jagħti importanza iktar lill-atmosfera milli l-istorja nfusha. Għalhekk huwa ktieb interessanti. Fl-aħħar mill-aħħar, ngħid għalija, x'ġara mit-tifel li nħatef lanqas biss jinteressani.
Prosit tal-ktieb Pierre... meta sa tohrog ktieb iehor?
Ghandek stil ta' kitba li anke min ma jhobbx jaqra thajjru biex jibda jaqra
Prosit Pierre
Hadt gost naqra Rih Isfel u anke bhala ktieb, apparti l-istorja ecc, rajtu gustuz hafna. Ghax ma tigix l-iskola taghna (Maria Regina) xi darba meta terga tiftah? Gieli jigu kittieba jitkellmu dwar il-kotba taghom.

Ghadni kif qrajt l-ktieb tieghek il-bierah u nhossni fid-dover li nifrahlek u naghmel sforz li naghmel review tieghu, li jinstab hawn: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=d94j8zj_77hsckpk .
Jiena lilek ma nafekx u qatt ma ltqajt mieghek biss apparti li nifrahlek nixtieq nirringrazzjak ghax tajtni pjacir ta' veru.
Sahhiet,
Jean Paul
Ghaziz Pierre. Jiddispjacini ma stajtx nattendi ghat-tnedija tal-ktieb tieghek imma nzertajt fuq btala. Pero' l-ktieb xtrajtu u milli qalli tal-hanut sar successun gmielu. Nifrahlek mill-qalb. Qrajtu u ghogobni, l-izjed ghall-Malti li thaddem li mhux daqstant abbundanti. Ghadek zghir u ghandek talent sabih. Kompli ikteb.

Il-ktieb l-ohxon li kont naqra spicca u issa ma andix n'naqra... meta ha tiktbilna bloggata?

Jien wkoll (bhal siehbi il-< ' ) ) )< ) bdejt naqra ktieb ohxon (House of Leaves), waqaft biex naqra Rih Isfel, imma issa m'ghandix aptit inkompli l-ktieb ohxon...
Prosit tal-ktieb Pierre, keep'em comin'!
Wasalt :)
Grazzi mill-qalb lil kull min xtara l-ktieb, lil kull min qrah u qalli x'jahseb dwaru, lil kull min qal lil shabu biex jixtruh, lil kull min kiteb dwaru fi bloggs, gazzetti, forums u x'naf jien.
Meta ktibtu ma stennejtx dan kollu! Grazzi mill-gdid.
Prosit tassew, Pierre.
Il-ktieb xtrajtu dil-ġimgħa u qrajtu f'nifs wieħed il-bieraħ, interrott biss mill-ħafna għatis li riħ babaw jaf iġib fuqek :)
M'għandniex xi ngħidu, il-metafori u t-tixbihat li tuża huma xi ħaġa ta' barra minn hawn.
Grazzi mill-qalb, Kenneth.
Il-bierah wara nofsnhar kont qieghed nahli daqsxejn hin fil-kcina u rajt basket li fih kien hemm il-kotba li gabet ommi mil-librerija.. tajt titwila u minn xi 6 kotba li 99.9% huma l-istess rumanzi tedjanti tas-soltu, wiehed laqatni mill-ewwel : Rih Isfel..

Bdejt naqra l-ewwel ftit.. sa filghaxija kont qrajtu kollu..bl-idjoma, il-metafora, it-tixbihat uzati kif tista titilqu min idejk? Ma stajtx ma napprezzax ir-reqqa li bih hu deskritt l-ambjent li ghadni nghix fih jien filwaqt li xi tbissima ma tonqosx :) Prosit mill-qalb Pierre, kuntent li hawn awtur li jaf x'iridu jaqraw iz-zghazagh u fl-istess hin ihalli post ghall-letterarjeta.
