This book is incredible. A horrible story full of hatred and anguish. A marvelous narration.... Spectacular

Kirjan tyyliin tottumisessa kesti vähän aikaa, kun lauseet tuntuivat alkuun loppumattomilta ja päämäärättömiltä. Kun tajusin, mikä kerronnassa on juju (vinkki: ajattele Patriarkan syksyä), sujui lukeminenkin helposti. Tarina aukeni pikku hiljaa, kun kerronta siirtyi hahmosta toiseen, ja aikaisemmin mainitut asiat saivat aivan uusia merkityksiä - tämä oli ehdottomasti kirjan parasta antia. Rujoa huumeitten, alkoholin, prostituution ja väkivallan maailmaa kevensi jollain tapaa paikallinen, vulgaari kieli ja hauskat sanakäänteet.

Uma narrativa cheia de mistério, tipo realismo mágico, que nos mostra uma sociedade preconceituosa, machista, com relacionamentos abusivos e confusos. Gostei da trama, mas o estilo de escrita me deixou confusa: parágrafos muito longos, com pontuação irregular, tornando a leitura difícil e lenta.

Wow. This book was bleak and haunting. Check TW! There are a lot.
This novel delves into the depths of a damned Mexican village. The story revolves around the murder of a witch and the subsequent investigation that unravels the dark secrets of the community. The narrative is filled with violence and brutality, portrayed in a raw and unfiltered manner. The writing style, characterized by run-on sentences and long blocks of text, only adds to the chaotic and heavy atmosphere of the story. (I ended up also purchasing the audiobook, to listen along with, while reading. This helped me keep my focus, if you find yourself feeling the same way.)
Believe me when I tell you, this book is not an easy read, and it will definitely take time to process the intense emotions it evokes. The violence portrayed is unsettling, and the weight of the story lingers long after you’re done reading. While it may not be for everyone, I do believe Hurricane Season is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the darker aspects of humanity. That being said, it’s a challenging book to rate and review.
