El último verano miwok nos cuenta una historia enternecedora y acogedora que, a pesar de tener algunos puntos (final incluido) previsibles, nos conduce por un verano cargado de descubrimientos, aventuras y leyendas. Pequeños y cercanos personajes a los que se les coge cariño a pesar de ser un libro tan cortito con los que, además, te llegas a sentir identificado. David es un adolescente que experimenta uno de los mejores veranos de su vida. Jordi, al hacernos partícipes de él con una gran narrativa descriptiva, nos permite verle crecer y pasar ese punto entre la adolescencia y la juventud previa a la etapa adulta. Una historia ligera con un tono fresco, atractivo y muy rico en descripciones que hacen de esta novela una lectura muy apropiada para el verano o un momento de relax. Eso sí, prepárate para vivir el último verano miwok.

Sigo con mi racha de libros geniales, este me ha encantado. Es de esos libros que hay que leer una vez en la vida y te deja huella. Muy bonito de principio a fin.

No está mal, pero lo he encontrado un poco aburrido. Es entretenido y está bien para pasar el rato

Una trama senzilla protagonitzada per un estiu de canvi per a un adolescent. Entretinguda i original; amb un punt de dramatisme i èpica.

January 2, 2024Me gustó mucho la historia y cómo está redactada, también me gustaron mucho los personajes y ese "romance" que está en la historia, encuentro como agradable la relación de los protas con el indígena, y encuentro que es un libro bastante ligero y rápido de leer, además interesante, buen libro.
