i hated how the author kept referring to all the characters by a descriptor, rather than a pronoun. “the writer” “the doctor” “the honey colored girl started to climb.” it was very jarring and she did it way too often.

kate is a fucking sociopath.

Alexander Cole es un chico común con una madre enferma, un padre estresado y un par de hermanas menores que lo sacan de sus casillas. Las circunstancias de su familia lo obligan a emprender un viaje a la selva Amazónica con su antipática abuela. El viaje es una expedición para encontrar a 'La Bestia', y documentar su existencia. Pero Alexander descubre más que solo una bestia, el viaje le servirá para encontrarse a si mismo.
Decidí leer el libro porque hacía años que lo había leído para una clase de escuela. Mi vago recuerdo era que el libro había sido divertido, interesante y diferente a lo que en ese tiempo leía. Actualmente mi experiencia fue distinta; si, sigue siendo interesante pero me aburrí al leerlo. No podía soportar la actitud de la abuela Kate, de Alexander y tampoco la de Nadia. El desenlace de la historia es verdaderamente decepcionante. ¡Todo se arregla tan rápido y de manera conveniente para los protagonistas!

This was a good book and an entertaining story. I just felt like it was a bit too juvenile for me.

I loved it. The description is beautiful, the story is great, and the characters are great.
