Meh

Okay, abrupt ending. Realistically I liked the story, I just wish there was a little more...even for just a short story.

I don’t know what the point of the story was. It went nowhere. It ended just as it started.

An interesting character study, and a well written short story.

You can’t help but feel sorry for the main character Alberto!
It did keep me hooked once Lola enter’s the story.
I could understand what and why he felt a certain way about the situation but the end just left me wondering where the story was headed to.

a story about a young man/boy who loses his parents short one after the other when he’s 17 and after that spends his life working -or as it’s said in the book serving others which seems to be what he’s good at.

this wasn’t for me. it felt to slow and while it said something i didn’t really enjoy the tone it had. 

oh well not everyone will enjoy every story.
