Obligatorio leer para Latinoamericanos
La novela te atrapa no solo por la premisa, sino también por la riqueza de detalle y, sobre todo, el deleite lingüístico. Es inevitable sentirse como en casa porque el vocabulario, las expresiones y los dichos te transportan a tu barrio o pueblo; como si la historia te estuviera contando ese tío aventurero con talento de narrador. Lo leería una y otra vez.
