brunabraga 's review for:

Os Maias by Eça de Queirós
5.0

I must admit that I felt intimidated by this book at first. In part because of its chunkiness but also because it is a mandatory read in school. I felt a bit forced to read this and at first that kind of put me off. But, I gained some courage and dived. And oh my god, I loved it. Yes it is a big book and sometimes it was quite boring due to its extremely detailed writting but it was definately worth it to fight trough those parts. Incredibly well written and, even though it adresses a heavy topic, kept me interested troughout the whole book. Undoubtebly, one of my favorite books ever.
