Confieso que se me hizo un poco bola... ^__^
Aunque mejoró conforme fue avanzando la historia. Tal vez sea un problema de diferencias culturales o de no conectar con la historia de base, no lo sé... Me costó bastante seguir la historia.
AMAZING reading.
I wouldn't recommend it as an introductory reading, but only for people who are already "in the path", or let's say, have become familiar with certain practices (e.g. meditation) and mindset.
It gave me some perspectives that I hadn't found in any book before.
And as any "good" book about the Dharma, it gave me peace. And it made me cry. And laugh. And lots of "enlightenment" moments. I just finished it, but I will probably read it again in the future.
Thank you very much for this book, Jack ^___^
Just... read it 😊

A "classic" about the TDD technique.
A MUST read: even being 15 years old, there are some good advices and it helps you further reflect about it :-)

So... I finally finished it!!! ^___^
From a historical point of view: it's a great document. And it was algo very interesting to read the reasonings, reflections and moral perspectives of Mahatma Gandhi.
But from a literary point of view: it's really bad, I'm sorry... It was not written as a "novel", and obviously it lacks the structure, the rhythm, etc.
So: if you're gonna read it, be sure to be more interested in the historical character, the person, than in a "good novel" :-)
Bello libro de uno de los más importantes autores de las letras gallegas.
La buena noticia es que para disfrutarlo no es necesario ser gallego, ni tan siquiera amar Galicia :-) Basta con ser sensible a las injusticias, a la guerra, a la desigualdad social, al dolor, a la naturaleza... al amor.
En mi experiencia, es un libro que va de menos a más. Me pareció muy flojo al principio, pero poco a poco va tomando mucho más "cuerpo", profundizando más, hasta llegar un punto en que lamenté que acabara :-)
Un libro muy recomendable para quiera mejorar en su comunicación escrita y, sobre todo, para quien quiera tomar más consciencia sobre las palabras y discursos que nos rodean.

I must say that I really enjoyed this book.
I got it kindly recommended after some (unpleasant) discussions on Twitter about feminism and sexism, and I'm very glad that at least I got this as "something good" from it.
As a white cishet man, unless you're already very familiar with this topic, you have to read it in a very open-minded way. Some assertions might make you feel attacked or uncomfortable, but I think it is worthy to read it leaving all your ego aside. I'm sure we all can learn a lot from it (I hope I did it).
Surprisingly, I only disagreed with a couple of sentences. In a 140 pages book, that looks amazing to me :-)
I specially enjoyed the Woolf's part and the last chapter, "Pandora's box". Very powerful analysis and reflections.

I specially enjoyed the Woolf's part and the last chapter, "Pandora's box". Very powerful analysis and reflections.
I think it's specially good that the writer communicates very well, she uses a very "wise" way to express herself. Because of that, it was easy to me to focus on the message and not on the way the message was transmitted.
Without forgetting the drama and seriousness of this problem, she keeps a constructive, positive and optimistic speech. I loved that. So far I have experienced, not everybody has that way to focus this topic...
TL;DR: just read it! :-)
