Sinceramente, no esperaba que me gustase tanto, pero lo hizo. Es exactamente lo que necesitaba leer: algo corto, ameno y que a la vez enganchase y me mantuviese entretenida. La verdad es que puede llegar a ser una lectura fría y dura de leer, pero demuestra y da voz a una realidad latente.

A pesar de que tomé el libro por una de mis clases universitarias, no me arrepiento en lo más mínimo de haberlo leído. Ojalá todas las lecturas obligatorias fuesen así de interesantes.
