Reviews

[Restaurante Paquillo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Increíblemente satisfactoria, no obstante, el ejemplar que leí tenía al principio una reflexión sobre el puritanismo criticando la elección de "censurar" el libro para "proteger" los ojos de los "inocentes", también haciendo constancia de que la autora autorizó el cambio de nombre para ahorrarse problemas con publicadores en otros países; me sobraba bastante la reflexión, aunque me pareció curiosa, curiosa porque quién iba a imaginar que podía haber gente llorando aún por un cambio de nombre que se efectuó casi un año después de la publicación del libro, ¡¡¡un libro de 1939!!! En fin, a llorar a la llorería, me ha gustado mucho el libro, qué rico un 10

Es bastante entretenido, pero no me enganchó demasiado.
