Que manera de pegarme una sopapeada al final. Fue muy francés muy Arsene Lupin se cruza con tin tin definitivamente me gustó. Quiero leer algo de material teórico para acompañarlo, porque el que venía de extra (las cartas de Leroux defendiendo la novela de aventuras me sorprendió)

I like it a lot. But the ended it was different that I expected. I have mixed feelings about it. The show take the story to another level but I like the both. I couldn't picture Ignatius as anyone but Sam Reid and he is also in the cover of the Spanish edition.

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.
