Creo que nunca había leído un libro que me diera tanto asco e hiciera que me doliera el estómago del horror. Pensaba que iba a leer una historia de terror sobre unas brujas y sus hechizos pero en realidad es un retrato muy crudo y terrorífico de los hombres y la homofobia y pedofilia en México. Todo está contado como si fuera un chisme veracruzano, fácil y rápido de leer, con personajes que te describen su contexto y te demuestran lo que sienten a cada paso de la historia. Me dejó muy intranquila y aún así quería terminar de leerlo y me gustó reconocer mientras leía palabras que conozco porque también usa mi mamá veracruzana. "Suyo, carajo, finalmente, suyo; suyo para estrujarlo entre sus pinches brazos."mvegag's review against another edition

El libro habla de la vida de los habitantes de un pueblo de Veracruz, y de cómo están involucrados en la muerte de la bruja. Toca temas muy fuertes, y es algo explícito, pero sin caer en lo "vulgar".
Logró hacerme sentir que estaba dentro de la historia, que caminaba por el pueblo y conocía a estas personas.
Lo único que no me quedó muy claro fue el final, pero supongo que está abierto a la interpretación.
