Una bocha, esa frase describe este libro.
Me gustó tanto la serie y el final me quedó debiendo que decidí recurrir al libro y...no falló.
Al haber visto antes la serie faltó el factor sorpresa. Sin embargo, el libro resalta en la construcción de algunos personajes, principalmente Camille y Amma. También al ya conocer la historia pude detectar con facilidad todas las pistas que nos regala la autora a lo largo de las páginas. Las cuales son inteligentes, sutiles y están relacionadas al misticismo y a la historia en si, lo cual me gustó.
El final está muy bien logrado y los personajes se siguen apegando a los comportamientos que tuvieron a lo largo de toda la historia lo cual le da al libro verosimilitud.
La serie es una muy buena adaptación y si no tenés ganas de leer el libro, pero si conocer la historia definitivamente te la recomiendo. Con la debida advertencia de que es una historia JODIDAMENTE retorcida. Y que capaz necesitas unos minutos de frenar, respirar y seguir.

Esqueço me que crianças de 13 anos podem ser muito cruéis.

Its the 'Men' book from the 'Annihilation' author. I wouldn't punish a friend with it.

This book was like a fever dream -- I spent most of it with an uneasy, mild nausea and had to regularly break for lighter fare. That said, I enjoyed the hell out of it.
The atmosphere of Wind Gap, MO is as thick and oppressive as the summer weeks that play out inside it. The characters are lush, memorable, and more-often-than-not loathsomely human (in a compelling way). Occasionally they border on the caricature side of the dramatic, but it helps to sell the southern gothic pastiche Flynn sets up so well.
The mystery at the heart of the novel has a satisfying (if slightly predictable) conclusion, but the place where the story really shines is in its portrayal of a troubled family dealing with generations of hurt and trauma. Witnessing such dysfunctional characters orbiting around each other is darkly fascinating in a car crash kind of way: you don't enjoy it, but you can't stop yourself from looking.
This is the kind of story that will stick with me for a long time, which is good because I'm not sure I'll be able to bring myself to read it again.
