evaromero's review against another edition

3,5 en realidad. Mmm… estoy confusa. Por una parte, me ha encantado la atmósfera, era muy fácil empatizar con la prota rodeada de personajes rancios en ese ambiente opresivo. También me ha gustado la sensación constante de saber que pasa algo turbio, pero no saber el que. Me ha gustado el fondo de la historia, el porqué de todo. Sin embargo, la novela me ha parecido lenta y algunos elementos no han hecho más que confundirme. Siento que me ha gustado la historia, pero no la manera de contarla (?) si eso tiene algún sentido. O sea, reconozco que la trama mola, pero a la vez sé que hay algo que no me ha terminado de convencer. Igualmente, me ha dejado imágenes bastante inquietantes en la cabeza la verdad.

Mexican Gothic was an easy read. It's definitely a page turner. However, in terms of horror, I found the book more off putting in the horror elements than properly scary. Also, I think the ending was rushed and could have been flushed out more. However, the characters are well written, and the story is told well.
