What Makes It So Special
Everything! The magical realism! The fact that you'll find out that the only way of keeping track of who's who and what is their relation to the others is by making a map. The constant repetition of the names. The craziness! The colours! The simbols! And yes, it all, every little peace, comes to it's rightful place at the end! You need to read it to the last letter of the last sentence!
P.S. Bonus points if you can read the original book in Spanish! It's so much better and the language used is just magnificent!
You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going...
