    Eines der langatmigsten Bücher, die ich bisher gelesen habe ("Ich bin jetzt beim 30% Marker angekommen... Geht's nu langsam mal los???") . Dabei gar nicht übel geschrieben. Plottechnisch lässt sich hier auch kein roter Faden erkennen und der erwartete Horror lünkerte auch eher zurückhaltend hinter dem ganzen Familiendrama hervor.

    I'm torn about this one. I really liked the writing style and the atmosphere the author created. All of the introduced characters had a certain depth. What I didn't like was the meandering plot (I often wondered where the author wanted to go with the plot and if there even was a goal) and the underwhelming ending. On another note, knowing more about Argentina and its history might lead to a better reading experience - sadly, that wasn't the case for me.
