Delightful. Thrilling. Amusing.

I think I've come across a book which is worth reading twice. All the virutes of "Titus Groan" are present in this one as well. The detailed descriptions make the story athonishingly vivid and cause the plot to flow slowly but smartly fitting the incredible atmosphere where it takes place. I really ... (

Hacía tiempo que no me encontraba de pronto a las cinco de la mañana pegada a las páginas de un libro, resbalando por sus líneas en un vértigo incontrolable, anulado el sueño y la realidad inmediata.

When I started reading this book I was expecting something else: something like a tale with small adventures, maybe something fantastic, maybe a little satire and especially a lot more action. The first few chapters passed on and nothing happened ... I read the dictionary almost as much as the book itself, as it uses a very refined vocabulary. But still there was something that made me keep reading. Perhaps it was my interest in reading the book. I looked for it at libraries and bookstores, but the Spanish edition was out of print and I had no way to find it, and that made me try to get it. So I turned to the English version.
The truth is that I found myself completely immersed in the small universe of the book. And what I liked is that, how well the different environments are described. It's so graphic, evocative, sensitive ... it is as if you were there. In some ways it reminded me of Tim Burton films.
I can say I liked it a lot. And I remember I laughed with it a few times. So it was worth it.
