As another review put it, this book is utterly horrific and yet I couldn't put it down. Mostly because it was short and I wanted to be done with it already, but also because the prose is well written even if the content of it is nauseating. I'm not shy of horror, but this was a step too far for me.

This was absolutely demonic. And that's the point, I guess. Poverty and its many faces of degradation.

very well written; very disturbing too. you get (sometimes uncomfortably) deep into the characters psyches. i like the title because reading this feels like being in a hurricane of emotions, trauma, hate, sadness.

Uff... Tuve que tomarme algunos descansos en medio de algunos capítulos... son crudos y recomiendo fuertemente leer las advertencias antes de leerlo. 
La forma en que escribe Fernanda Melchor es lo más característico del libro y aquello que logra que todo se sienta cercano y visceral, permitiendo que uno se sienta que se encuentre dentro de la cabeza de los personajes, siendo partícipe de su hilo de pensamiento.  La violencia se describe sin reparos ni filtros, lo cual solo la hace más difícil de digerir, pero logra transmitir lo cotidiano de ella, es una gran representación de la profundidad de nuestras heridas sociales. 
Es difícil decir que lo disfruté, por lo difícil de leer que algunas escenas resultan, pero realmente me encantó como libro.
