this book was such a rollercoaster. there were the best of times, there were the worst of times. one thing you cannot say is that iglesias cannot write simple and poetic prose. there were several moments of beauty where i could relish in the abilities of iglesias. but mario as a character was simply unbearable. i felt like iglesias could have done a better job at making him LIKABLE, which would have easily made this book a 4 star or higher.
other than that, i enjoyed the ride even if it was a bit bumpy.
