A brilliant novel. Masterfully created. It can be confusing at first to keep track of the various characters and their names, but once you do, you will find that the book is wholly worthwhile. Although the language of the translated English is rather straight-forward, you still have to focus a lot on the details and personal histories of the characters. I can only imagine how awesome this book is in the original Spanish.

My favorite book at the current time. This was excellent. When I finished, I had to sit in silence for a moment with my eyes clothes to regulate my breathing. I don't know how long I was like that. It is like reading a piece of art.

My friend was obsessed about this book but I didn't really like it. I couldn't even finish it. I'm willing to read it again though...
