A review by mcviana26
The Immortal Boy by Francisco Montaña Ibañez
4.0
3.5/5 stars.
i really enjoyed the point of view switches. the way that the author handled the two viewpoints and the intertwining of both stories made a lot of sense to me. the story as a whole felt a lot like traditional latin american lit, especially like coelho. i loved the five siblings as characters, especially maria. even though it confused me, i liked the ending.
i did find the book boring at times, but not overall. i do think you need to be used to latin american literature traditions to understand the book, but i enjoyed it as a whole. i would like to read it in the original spanish at some point to see if that gives me stronger feelings about the story and the writing.
