Anul acesta a fost, fără îndoială, anul eroinelor puternice în cultura populară, iar cel mai răsunător exemplu este, din punctul meu de vedere, succesul de care Wonder Woman s-a bucurat pe toate planurile. Prima ei aventură solo pe marele ecran a fost întâmpinată cu entuziasm de întreaga planetă, benzile ei desenate încântă fanii cu fiecare nou număr și, cel mai recent, romanul YA scris de Leigh Bardugo, cunoscută (și îndrăgită) la nivel mondial pentru minunatul univers Grisha pe care l-a creat, al cărei protagonistă este nimeni alta decât Diana, prințesă a insulei mitice Themyscira, înainte să devină super-eroina despre care am auzit cu toții.

„Kurt Cobain filled dozens of notebooks with lyrics, drawings and writings about his plans for Nirvana and his thoughts about fame, the state of music, and the people who bought and sold him and his music. More than twenty of these notebooks survived his many moves and travels, and have been locked in a safe since his death. His journals reveal an artist who loved music, who knew the history of rock, and who was determined to define his place in that history. Here is a mesmerizing, incomparable portrait of the most influential musician of his time.”

Când am citit prima dată sinopsisul acestei cărți am știut că trebuie neapărat să parcurg întreaga poveste. Aceasta pornește de la o idee care e imposibil să nu te intrige, să nu te facă din prima secundă curios să afli toate detaliile unui astfel de scenariu. 100 de adolescenți sunt închiși într-o închisoare secretă, de maximă siguranță. Se spune că toți sunt criminali. Dar nici unul dintre ei nu își amintește să fi comis vreo crimă.
