[Una paloma lectora · Rating 4 out of 5]

A ver, que situación este libro. Esta muy bien hecho porque uno creería fielmente en la primer lectura que nuestro protagonista está saliendo de la matriz y verdaderamente encontrando la felicidad. Sin embargo, al final del libro y en alguna re lectura nos damos cuenta de que el pobre hombre sentía que no lo valoraban lo suficiente y que, en vez de confrontar el problema, SE FUE SIN DAR EXPLICACIONES. El tipo daba por sentado de que ya estaba Divorciado el 2do dia fuera de su casa(?????? terrible. Ademas uqe alguiwn peinse en los pobres hijos y la esposa que solamente estan tratando de llevar una vida, please. En fin, así vemos lo que pasa cuando sobrepensamos todo y tenemos un par de mental issues tambien.
