I really enjoyed the writing of this book. Dunn writes visceral characters. I loved reading about the circus and the past, but I thought the parts of the book that were happening in the present were a little slower and harder to maintain the same interest.

Really, for as graphic as the themes are in this book, it was very tastefully written. Not really my cup of tea though.

What a weird thing of a book. 3.5

Este lo leí en inglés porque no existe traducido. ¿Quieren leer un libro raro? Este es su libro. ¿Quieren leer un libro que empieza raro y acaba todavía más raro? Este es su libro. Los Binewskis son una familia rarísima, no porque lo sean físicamente (que sí) sino porque son raros. Raros en sus relaciones entre ellos, raros en su amor y en su odio, en su manera de expresarlo. Todo el libro está narrado desde los ojos de Oly (que es preciosa y quiero abrazarla mil veces) y eso hace que pasen una de las cosas que más me gustan en el mundo de los libros y de leer: todo lo vemos desde la perspectiva de un narrador no fiable. Se los recomiendo mucho, Dunn habla de manera muy hermosa de muchas cosas muy horribles y muy raras. Y Oly es muy hermosa.
