To na pewno jedna z najlepszych rzeczy jakie czytałam w życiu, przepiękna. 5/5 to za mało.

Started this in the pandemic. Stopped because it was too depressing and too close to home.

Picked it back up when the pandemic ended and carried it around for a few months without reading.

Finished it this week. Feels kind of sad to put it back in the bookcase, but we've had a nice ride.

Story was cool too, I guess.

Có vẻ đọc cuốn này giữa tình hình dịch bệnh như bây giờ là hợp lý

I know -- maybe a strange choice of reading for during an actual pandemic, but this was really a comforting read during the isolation. Not only did it give me feelings of commiseration and comfort, but it was also a very compelling story.

Pues no, 'La plaga' no me gustó. Creo que es una buena idea que en forma de relato corto podría haber quedado bien, pero que no da para una novela. Para mi gusto le sobran páginas y páginas y páginas y páginas. Creo que con muchas menos ya habríamos pillado todo el rollo de comparar la plaga con la ocupación nazi y también el rollo de lo implacable que es el horror y lo futil que es luchar contra él. La historia se alarga innecesariamente y se vuelve repetitiva y tediosa. Y los personajes son simples monigotes, planos y sin personalidad, exclusivamente al servicio de la acción, y así se me hace imposible sentir nada por ellos, se hace imposible que la novela despierte en mí algún otro sentimiento que no sea aburrimiento.
