Het huis met de Geesten van Isabel Allende is een goed en geestig boek (pun not intended) Ik vond het aan het einde van het boek wat minder momentum hebben, persoonlijk, maar voor de rest zat ik er vaak écht in - vooral het deel in de geschiedenis van Esteban Trueba, Clara en Blanca boeide mij erg. Het is ook een goede karakterstudie gezien vanuit Trueba, in meerdere aspecten toch wel een soort van de hoofdpersoon van het boek, gezien hij er elke generatie bij is. Een goed boek, waarvan ik ook de andere boeken in de serie in de toekomst ook zeker ga lezen.

“Me será muy difícil vengar a todos los que tienen que ser vengados, porque mi venganza no sería más que otra parte del mismo rito inexorable.”

Me gustó mucho la escritura de Isabel Allende. Es muy buen libro pero si tienes que prestar atención a todos los detalles porque un personaje mencionado en cualquier momento puede cambiar la trama tiempo después.
Hay ciertos personajes que no soportaba y por poco abandono el libro por ellos.
