Todo lo que aporta cultural, histórica, sociológica, lingüística, literaria y una infinidad más de etcéteras es descomunal. Debe ser una de las tres novelas más importantes y trascendentales en la historia de México, fácil. Tan grande es su valor como eterna su paginación.
Leer la historia de los bandidos es como una película de Guy Ritchie en México. Entretenidísima y magistral. El final da al traste haciendo que los buenos ganen y vivan felices por siempre, pero es detalle menor, lo importante es el camino no el destino.
