I have some mixed feelings with this one. Part of me love it, and part of me ended up so mad that I almost trow the book against the wall.

It is a very interesting story and premise, almost sci Fi for Daphne Du Maurier. I love this lady and her writing but this one some times it was a bit too many descriptions. We know that we see the story through Dick eyes but sometimes it was a bit too much.

For me it's 3.5

Son cuentos que sin volverme loca no me dejaron indiferente. Son ensayos sobre el comportamiento y la psicóloga humana. No para todos.
