No es mi tipo de literatura, pero veo las virtudes de sus búsquedas.

I read this book at college and until I attended a conference with the author I was sure that all the story was real. I mean, I heard a lot of stories of Daniel Santos in my childhood, and I would never dare the book was all fiction! Great work!
