Casi todos de los personajes en este libro son odiables, excepto por: las monjas y el señor del faro.

Ah si, y otra cosa: el título no tiene ningún sentido.

This is a fucking thriller and horror story. With an unfitting, almost irrelevant title.

Dis book is rasist!!! OMG! but also worth reading and brutal. If you thought pirates were bad people, wait until you meet "the White Demons".

Este libro es rasista!!! No puede ser! pero también vale la pena leerlo y es brutal. Si creías que los piratas eran malvados, espera a que conozcas a "los Demonios Blancos".
