Review of 'The Catcher in the Rye' on 'Goodreads'

I read this book in Spanish and I hed the feeling I was missing something. I didn'tget why this book was so important for the person who recommended it to me. Some time ago, I bought a tattered second hand edition in English and I'll read it that way to see if it improves.

Review of 'The Remains of the Day' on 'Goodreads'

I read this book in Spanish a very long time ago. I'm curious about Ishiguro's real style, as I don't trust translations very much.

As far as my translation went, I can tell that the book is deceptively easy and "soft". It describes a few sad and wasted lives through the eyes of a narrator who was too fooled by his own preconceptions; I love books in which the narrator knows a lot less than what the reader can infer and this is the best example I know of that narrative device.
