¿Acaso usé mi tarea de inglés para sumar a mi reto de Goodreads? Of course I did 😁

Me pareció interesante la perspectiva sobre todo porque fue escrito en 1948 pero tranquilamente pudo suceder en el 76 en Argentina, no lo viví como para estar segura pero creo que la idea es bastante cercana.

Fue medio turbia la historia, si. Pero me dejó con ganas de averiguar qué tan diferente o profunda puede ser la versión original y completa. Así que posible próxima lectura

Very good reader version that captures a lot of the flavor of the original. It will be a good challenge for my EFL students.

3'5, good ending according to the plot but a bit deceiving anyway.

El libro está bien, es pesado pero está bien. La adaptación es una mierda, está super esquematizada sin nada de conexión
