I love books that get the most mileage from the constructs/constraints they set for themselves and this is definitely one such book.
Super bizarre book—I’m not sure what it all means, or how I’m supposed to interpret that ending. Is he about to die? Reveal to Lucía that he’s Ghost Butler? I find myself hoping for a happy ending for him, Lucía, and María. It would be a crazy, imaginative path for a character suffering from trauma and mental illness to follow in order to reach healing and a new life. That’s what I hope it is, rather than just the author trying to portray the mind of someone suffering from schizophrenia. Yeah, I’m going with the first idea.
I’m trying to think of who I would recommend it to—I guess someone who is looking for something really different. I’ve certainly never read a book like it. Damián, secretly living in a family’s house after being accidentally transported there in a wardrobe—that’s weird and creepy, yet I developed so much sympathy for him over the course of the book.
It didn’t take me long to read, but I’ll be thinking about it for a while.… (more)

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.A compelling and energetic story of devotion, art, fiction and reality. It was a wild ride and seeks to explore some deep questions through Lucia’s quest for meaning. For me, it was marred at times by the male writer’s point of view intruding when writing a female main character. Overall I enjoyed this book, which I received as an advanced review copy.

La parte informativa bien. Teorias interesantes, no se si correctas o no, no es mi campo pero son teorias que te hacen pensar por lo menos.
Pero no entiendo porque hay que intentar embellecer eso con la vida y problemas del periodista. Me da igual que dolor de cabeza tuvo o dejo de tener mientras le hacia las preguntas.
