Qué estaba pensando Mario Vargas al publicar esto… el señor tiene un repertorio excelente de novelas y publica esto!?!? Me perdí a mitad con el plot, se supone que tenemos que empatizar con los riquillos que lucran de los más desafortunados, y claro no olvidemos los tonos amarillistas a lo largo de la novela. Además, parece como si este señor nunca haya tocado un mujer en su vida porque las que las escenas de sexo parecían salidas de porn*. Lo mejor fue cuando leí la última pagina.
