Creo que es un buen libro, describe muy bien nuestra situacion actual, pero precisamente por haberlo leido en medio de la pandemia, parece demasiado como leer las noticias en la television. Eso dice mucho de lo bueno que es pero no he podido mas que aburrirme un poco.

had to read this book for a class and I genuinely could not stand a single second of it had to force myself to skim the entire thing. quite literally nothing is happening the entire time. I understand the plague is here, now what else? it genuinely made me sick finishing a paragraph and knowing id have to read another. skimmed and still could not handle how atrociously bad this book was. y'all are lying giving this monstrosity 5 stars. do not lie to yourself. this shit was so bad.

the ending made me go "ok... anyway." no ending of a novel should make me simply go "ok... anyway."

Expected a quaint story about a plague.
Received an over scrupulous analysis of Every. Stupid. Small. Plot. Point.
Albert, my man, I'm sure you're hella smart but bro, please just let me enjoy a line or two without you dumping needless philosophy on me.

Maybe im just stupid????
