Deeply emotional and thought-provoking. Pretty on-the-nose with little space for ambiguity. No thinking of your own required.

vallows's review against another edition

4.5

Es un libro que se lee de manera rapidísima, te encariña con los personajes y rompe el corazón. 
Llore muchisimo, toca temas fuertes que te generan un asco hacia la humanidad pero al mismo tiempo te da un toque de esperanza al presentarte a los personajes.
Los capitulos de anita se sentian como si ella fuera una niña y están escritos de tal manera que puedes ver su psicología. 
La manera en que esta escrito se siente muy real.
Es un libro emocional que te rompe el corazón y lo vuelve a armar.
