esta escrito muy sencillamente pero tambien de una forma tan poetica que me encanto. los personajes, el lugar todo es totalmente real.

le baje dos estrellas pq falto que pasara algo, esta escrito con mucha objetividad lo que es interesante pero hace que el final no te llegue tan fuerte como creo q podria haber llegado. hay partes de la trama que quedan sin resolver y no esta hecho de la mejor manera; no te deja con un final abierto bien hecho, sino que se siente como si faltaran unos dos o tres capitulos mas y simplemente no los imprimieron.

en general creo vale la pena leerlo, especialmente por los hermosos personajes y su poetica prosa
