bailedI tried but I don‘t like Gonzalo, I don‘t like Carla and I don‘t like the humour. Some parts are funny others just feel forced and silly. Zambra can write, especially steamy scenes but this book or maybe even this author is just not for me.
I‘m mostly satisfied with my genre mix, except maybe I‘d like to read more poetry. #sundayfunday
pickI loved this book for the second time! I picked it up in anticipation of our trip to Chile next month 🇨🇱✨

Inspired to read by its position as No 6 on NYT best 100 of 21st century. It seemed to take much longer than 19 days!
Maybe because I re-listened to numerous sections when I realised I had drifted off and was confused as to how they fit. Sometimes the answer was they didn‘t really.
Many of the stories were fascinating but incomplete. Perhaps that was always Bolano‘s intention. A lot is left unanswered.
