I have a feeling this book was supposed to make me feel lots of deep emotions but the only thing I felt was boredom...
The premise is really good but unfortunately I couldn't get myself to care about anything in the book. Especially our main character Ismael. He's one of those gross perverted grandpas and I really did not like him. I know the liking him was not the point of the book, but I find it hard to enjoy the book if I don't like the characters.
So, yeah... sadly a total miss for me.
