La primera novela que leí de Mario Vargas Llosa fue "La Guerra del Fin del Mundo", así que venía con una imagen preconcebida de lo que sería "La Ciudad y los Perros". Estoy feliz de decir que me llevé una agradable sorpresa al notar la gran diferencia entre ambos libros.

La frescura del tono, los temas que toca. Además de la increíble capacidad que tiene Vargas Llosa de crear personales creíbles y situaciones entre hilarantes, serias y descabelladas, muestran su talento y gran capacidad.

Si bien es notable que Vargas Llosa se apoya de sus memorias al escribir, no le quita mérito a la forma en la que el cuento se desarrolla hasta el capítulo final y el consecuente epílogo.
