Empieza por mi cita favorita de Ernest Hemingway:

El mundo nos rompe a todos, mas después, algunos se vuelven fuertes en los lugares rotos.

Hacía tiempo no leía un libro de este estilo, con una carga emocional inmensa, escritura deprimente, que ha momentos me hiciera sentir tan triste por las cosas que suceden. Definitivamente el libro trata un tema delicado y muy real en el mundo, con una exquisitez en sus letras que a la escritora hay que felicitarle por eso. Debo aceptar que al principio ...more

This hit home. I relate so much to his depressive days. Great, but emotional read. Not best for those of us who connect... but I guess we will see how I handle this in the next few days.

4.5

Okay, I'm going to be honest here: I don't know what it was, but I loved this book. And I can't quite tell if it was the writing style or the story or something else, but I had some kind of sensation while reading it and... I just knew I was liking it. It's like from page one I was just like: 'Yeah, I like this', but I don't know freaking why.

So, you're warned, this review will be totally senseless and maybe not that useful.

First of all: I loved Finch. I mean, I liked Violet, but after read 4.5

First of all: I loved Finch. I mean, I liked Violet, but after reading it, we all know that Finch has the spotlights the whole time. I loved the depth and the complexity of his character and just how well written he is. Since the very beginning of the book I kinda knew or at least suspect a little what was going on with him exactly, but the more I read and known his character, the more I wished I was wrong. But I wasn't. And when it was finally revealed, I was left in pieces. He's a lovely and funny and smart character, and I loved just the way he was developed all through the novel. (view spoiler)

Something else I loved about this book: It has a HELL lot of quotes. It is beautifully writen, cover to cover. The writing style is so fresh, emotional, kinda poetic even and unique. The writing itself would be a great reason for me to love this book. It was honest. I think some readers could actually relate to the things and mainly the feelings both Violet and Finch were passing through. I did. Or if not relate, at least understand it, because the descriptions of their feelings were really powerful and touching and realistic. Because yeah, that kind of things happen. Jennifer Niven describes feelings I've felt myself, lots of times, but never really could describe. I aprecciated that a lot, and I know lots of readers would too.

So, the ending. I liked the way the story ended, and most of all I loved the way the ending was written. It was touching, intense, kinda unexpected and... (view spoiler)

Huh. I guess now I know why I liked this book so much: The writing. Finch. The honesty and the complexity of the novel. And the atmosphere.

Well, I think that's it. I told you this review would be senseless :)
