un libro muy crudo ,con un tema fuerte , pero muy interesnate (

Este es un libro que muestra la realidad de su país de una manera cruda y fuerte. Fernando Vallejo es un escritor que plasma sus ideas de una manera agresiva, pero lo hace con un fin. Pues, considero que su historia fue realizada así para que las personas se den cuenta de esa realidad, si lo contara de otra manera y con otras palabras probablemente las personas no sentirian ese desprecio y odio.

Lo que caracteriza al libro es la forma de escribir de Vallejo, muy cruda y "sin anestesia" puede ofender a muchos pero el contenido del libro es muy bueno. (
