mixedblessings89 's review for:

City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende

2.0

Interesting, but this is not a fantasy fiction book. I found it too slow and had to coax myself to read further at times, while at other times I forgot about it entirely. I'm sure there are many who would enjoy it, and it is well written. It is also very well translated. At no point did I feel like I was reading a translation or missing parts of the story due to translation losses. I picked it up because my favourite tennis player spoke positively about it and... I suppose this was not meant for me.
