Very funny and also surprisingly full of heart. This has definitely been my favorite (and likely most memorable) read from Matt Haig.

I enjoyed many aspects of this book namely the characters, some of the philosophical ideas and the very funny beginning. What I did not like as much was the plot and the ending. I really wished the author would just have dropped the plot at some point and instead allowed an even deeper insight in their understanding of what being human is all about etc.
I think this might also be the reason why it took me forever to read this book - at times I got pretty frustrated and annoyed whenever the story veered from the protagonist learning to adapt to a human life towards the hosts and their attempt to interfere.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it!

No pude conectar con los personajes, la lectura se me hizo bastante lenta y seguía leyendo solo porque creía que este libro en algún momento se iba a volver la obra maestra que muchas reseñas dicen que es. Cuando iba mas allá de la mitad me di cuenta de que eso no iba a pasar, a diferencia de muchos las partes graciosas no me dieron risa, y la partes profundas (entre comillas) no me impactaron mucho, hasta que llegué a los ultimos 4 capitulos, esos me gustaron mucho. La conclusion del libro estuvo genial, es una pena que el desarrollo del mismo no fuera lo suficientemente bueno para que esta fuera una historia redonda para mí.
Le doy 3 estrellas, iban a ser 2 pero el final hizo que subiera su calificación.
