Don't Move by Margaret Mazzantini

2.0

Sliding from weak metaphor to weak metaphor, "Don't Move" frequently seems like a fantasy of a life with a penis: Margaret Mazzantini writes about how Timoteo's love stick burns, aches, rapes, and becomes timid. The story moves as this dowsing rod finds and misses its sources of water, and we pretty much have to read through a good 150 pages already knowing the end.
If you enjoy heavy, unapologetic melodrama, it may work for you; I don't. The author deserves props for trying out a novel from an alien point of view, for sure, but it makes me wonder if all the 4 and 5 stars come only from that.
