I did not like this book. I was wishing that I was not reading it while walking the Camino in Spain and then when I got to the end and saw that the author was Spanish............Still it was hard to understand any of the situation, the lies or how it could continue. I could not make sense of any of it even in the end. Not very descriptive but not worth describing.

Bastante entretenido, aunque con pequeñas cositas un tanto inverosímiles. Me ha parecido que poner la explicación del "misterio" a la mitad le quita fuerza al final.

One of the worst books I've ever read. Like, #3.

Just... was it trying to prove a point? Cultural/Society point or something?

I don't know if there's any sort of background meta information that would re-contextualize my experience with it, but oh man, it's bad.

One of those books where the only good character in the book(not the main lead) deserved a better book.

Disturbing and addicting

I found this book totally disturbing throughout until it all comes to light in the end. I had a hard time putting this book down.

I'm honestly not sure what I think of this book. It was very well written and in spite of it's slow paceing for parts kept you engaged. But all through the story was odd.

This book was so difficult to read because it was just so disturbing. Every chapter I kept thinking it cannot get any worse, yet it did. I wasn’t sure whether I loved it or hated it at first, and now I realized it was well written and I really enjoyed it. Plus what makes or breaks a book for me is the last paragraph or sentence of the book, and I just loved how it ended!
