El libro que menos me ha gustado de lo que he leído este año.

Por empezar por lo bueno, tiene dos virtudes: te mantiene interesado en conocer el “drama”, y plantea la historia de una manera circular interesante.

Todo lo demás me parece muy mejorable: plantea unos personajes con los que resulta muy complicado empatizar, la historia juega tanto a los extremos (desgracias espantosas y felicidades de cuento de hadas) que podría ser un poco paródica pero es bastante pretenciosa, abusa tanto de los saltos temporales que al final te cansa... Pero lo peor, en mi opinión, es la manera tan machista y anticuada de presentar a todos los personajes femeninos, que resulta insoportable leer. Mi novio me ha dicho que el autor es joven, pero por la manera de escribir habría pensado que es un señor de 60 años.

Entiendo que a la gente le pueda entretener, pero hay muchas mejores novelas en el mercado, así que no la recomiendo.

O efeito Dicker mantém-se: quando começo os livros dele só consigo parar quando os termino. Independentemente das horas, quando começo, não consigo parar. Apesar de não ser o meu livro preferido dele, foi igualmente viciante. Admito que, na minha opiniao, não consigo imaginar um livro que bata o Harry Quebert. Dito isto, é sempre um prazer ler Dicker.
