Title: Not a big pleasure to read
Review: I really cant understand why everyone is so crazy about this book. The subject is nothing new and although the concept is quite good, I knew the end right from the start of the story. If the persons in the book have difficulties to communicate with each other, so has the author to get into the reader's mind. Im my opinion, it is quite exaggerated to compare Javier Marias to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, because Marias' text cant fascinate the reader at all in the brilliant way Marquez does.
Is the review positive or negative?
