Me gusta bastante hasta ahora

Un poco lento hasta ahora. Lento no es la.palabra, pasan muchas cosas pero siempre sobre lo mismo, no avanza mucho la trama.

"Featured on the cover of Time mag., shows a nearly naked Sudanese teenager, pregnant with her rapist’s child,an image that no magazine would feature of an American girl. In discussions of her recent photo book Of Love & War, Addario’s own bravery at going out into a war zone is front and centre, while the heroism of the civilians actually enduring a war imposed by the USA and its allies never comes up". I love her.

Es brillante. Ahora tengo que leer a Tom Sawyer.
"I will not let myself, my mind, drown in fear and outrage. I will be outraged as a matter of course. But my interest is in how these marks that I am scratching on this page can mean anything at all. If they can have meaning, then life can have meaning, then I can have meaning"

La sra. March es insufrible, le importa mucho lo que digan de ella y siempre está deseando el mal a los demás, en especial a las mujeres, incluso a su hermana. Aún así me gusta la trama. Quiero ver cómo termina.

Recién empecé y ya me enoje. La autora habla de mujeres blancas estadounidenses. Excluyendola porque sufrió violencia y vino de otro país y es negra. No puedo identificarme con esas mujeres. No puedo creer que se llamen a si mismas feministas cuando la historia del feminismo es contra la opresión y la violencia. Siento que esto pasa menos en países sudamericanos,una razón más de las miles para nunca vivir en USA.

"The illusions of her youth had been removed with no anesthesia. She hadn’t expected to survive the experience. But she had. And now she was completely invulnerable."
The idea is good, but it gets boring. Someone should tell the author about the ' show, don't tell ' rule. I couldn't finish it.

Old things had passed away; everything had become new.
"Most things are predestinated, but some are just darn sheer luck," said Roaring Abel, complacently smoking his pipe in the corner.

Nunca leí un libro tan hermoso, sobre la vida, la muerte, el amor. Subrayé muchos pasajes.
