"La clase de Griego" es un libro que no es para todo el mundo. Tiene un ritmo muy lento que nos permite adentrarnos en la mente de los dos personajes principales. Esto me ha dejado con sentimientos encontrados. Por un lado, me gustó mucho la historia de los personajes, pero el ritmo me resultó un poco pesado. No digo que esté mal, ya que la trama necesita este tipo de ritmo pausado. Sin embargo, no es el estilo que más disfruto, especialmente con capítulos que se enfocan solo en pensamientos. Por eso, no puedo darle una puntuación más alta.

Mi valoración: 3/5.

Greek Lessons is my first attempt on reading Han Kang and I can't say that it was a successful one.

The story is presented in short snips and by the time the two main characters start interacting, the book is finished. And, other than the poetic narration, the book doesn't offer much. The story is a letdown and, in the end, not that engaging. Also, it's not easy to pick up on the parallels between the two languages when you don't know Korean or/and ancient Greek.

Overall, the story had potential but it was not handled in the way as to let it shine.
