A very short read, but an utterly fascinating one. I feel that this sense of simultaneous terror and sympathy are what Iain Banks was trying to emulate, but never quite managed to reach in The Wasp Factory.

Reitero mi calificación de la primera vez que leí este libro. Amo el ambiente, amo lo incomoda que me pone Merricat (porque veo muchas cosas que no me gustan de mí en ella) y sobre todo, amo el final de esta historia que nos enseña cómo nace una leyenda.
