3.75 This book had a lot of twists and turns. The author did a good job of convincing the reader who was responsible.

Es un libro entretenido de leer, tiene giros inesperados.
Por otro lado, para el final ya eran demasiados giros, tenía más ganas de terminarlos que otra cosa.

El narrador tampoco me terminó de convencer. Se supone que leemos los que Goldman escribe pero también nos muestra escenas, sentimientos, pensamientos que los testigos jamás le hubiera dicho, eran cosas privadas que no venían al caso así que no están justificadas.

Y el hecho de la relación amorosa con una menor no me hace gracia tampoco.

Whether we see it as a slow story with unnecessary characters, or simply a great thriller, the author succeeded in making us read to the end to find out what really happened. I’m not sure any of us would have guessed it right.

Meh, don’t really like any of the characters and story just drags. What is the deal with the seagulls?!

[Starr Ochoa · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really wanted to know what actually happened which was my only motivation for finishing the book.
