Si la trilogía fuese una bilogía que suprime el último capítulo del segundo libro le pondria un 4, pero ese último capítulo y el tercer libro para mi arruinan todo, desde el mensaje, hasta el estilo, pasando por los personajes. 

Me encanta cuando la literatura se atreve a romper con las normas y subvertir las expectativas, pero para mi lo que hace Kristof son más bien trampas. Hay una diferencia entre narrador poco fiable y narrador que siempre ha sido fiable pero en la última pagina te dice "por cierto, todo esto era mentira, ahora escucha mi verdadera historia". Al final me queda la sensacion de que todas las decisiones han sido tomadas en base a lograr que cada libro sea lo más dramatico, cruel y triste posible.

Spietato, crudo, complesso, spiazzante ma enormemente carico di sentimenti così potenti che lasciano senza fiato. Un grande capolavoro narrativo, Agota Kristof ti trasporta nella storia attraverso una scrittura struggente, brutale, diretta e violenta, e gioca abilmente con passato e presente, con certezze e incertezze riuscendo a turbare. Un libro particolare e per questo lo consiglio vivamente.

One of my favorite books ever since I read it. The style and structure was intimidating at first (use of “we” POV and short stories) but it was excellently written, and serves as a brilliant unraveling of understanding the narrators and the world around them. I still think about the ending from time to time

Incredibile, mai letto niente di simile in vita mia.
Tre libri con tre costruzioni differenti, differenze amplificate da tre traduttori diversi. Il primo, che è forse il mio preferito, estremamente disturbante, crudo, con periodi e capitoli brevissimi e asciutti.
La guerra raccontata senza enfasi, senza emozioni, come a voler rendere tutto normale e all’ordine de giorno (come probabilmente era davvero).
Davvero speciale.
