I felt like this had no depth, especially compared to the original Mrs. Dalloway.

leopoldo_orozco's review against another edition

3.0

La verdad, con todos los comentarios positivos que leí, me esperaba muchísimo más. Es una buena novela, pero creo que, considerando el grandísimo antecedente, el mismo autor se puso la vara demasiado alta (por no decir la soga al cuello). Por muy interesante que fuera esta breve obra, no podría ser más que una nota al pie de página de Mrs. Dalloway.

Además, se impone un auditorio que seguramente ya leyó a Woolf, y es muy difícil impresionar a alguien después de haber leído a Woolf con tres historias tan parecidas.
