Tre stelle, ma solo per affetto. Sandokan è un montato pazzesco e la Perla di Labuan una lagna. L'unico che si salva è Yanez, d'altronde lo amavo già nei telefilm :)

This was the first book we were assigned to read in high school. We beat it to hell. And, honestly, it wasn't that great of a book. Fascinating story, yes. But not among my favorites.
Terribly dated. I started reading SF in the late 1950s. Nowadays I really regret the lack of "hard" science fiction, and the loathsome confusion of science fantasy with sword and sorcery fantasy. Sometimes I can read these old writers with nostalgic pleasure, but sometimes the style is just too primitive. His story ideas are good, I think, but it is so, so, old fashioned, and some of his grammar is weird. When I got to Van Rijn himself the grammar which Anderson puts in his mouth is just unrealistic. I had to give up, sadly.
