Una novela muy entretenida, original por el punto de vista desde el que está contado, que causa que en ocasiones sea muy divertida dentro del drama. Aún así es un tanto larga, término con la sensación de que lo que quiere contar se podría haber contado con mucho menos, pero bueno, sin más pretensiones, es una buena novela para el verano :)
