The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela

shiradest's review against another edition

4.0

Vaya, que clase de libro y qué clase de fin! Al comienzo tuve mucha simpatía para el protagonista. Pero al leer, anduve cobrando menos y menos voluntad. En fin ya me di cuenta de cómo son los seres humanos: el poder, aunque sea un poco de poder, siempre currumpa. qué tan triste somos nosotros los humanos.

Some very beautiful prose in this novel. At times very gripping, other times it slogs a bit.

I got lost in the fast paced nature of the book but I loved how some of the scenes were so descriptive it painted a picture in my head. Also, the book did a really good job of portraying the poor people. Apart from being lost in the middle of the book it was a good read!

Realmente pensaba que no me iba a gustar, sin embargo me sorprendió y me gustó. Creo que realmente plasma muy bien la revolución mexicana y esto de ¿para que luchamos? Y lo que criticamos, nos terminamos volviendo como ellos, fue interesante.

Read it for my Latin America Social Revolutions class in the span of like two hours last night — definitely kept me engaged, even if it wasn't necessarily something I wanted to be reading about.

quizás es porque no sé leer o quizás es porque fue un libro aburrido

I had to read this book for school and it was extremely boring.
