Federico Moccia is a very famous Italian writer, whose most common themes are youth and love. In 1992 he wrote his first novel, named “Tre metri sopra il cielo” that in English is “Three meters above the sky”. At first he had serious problems in publishing his story, because none of the most popular houses wanted to help an unknown writer. So he published the novel on his own on November 1992. After that something very strange happened: the young students in Rome started to read the few copies of books, even using photocopies. The book soon had a great success, and for this it was also made into a film. I love this book because it is a book for tenageers and about a beautiful love story. The end of the book is very sad and I cried a little, but in my opinion is a nice book and it is my favourite.
