Review Detail

Reader reviewed by The Library Lurker

I have to admit, I was a little bit unsure going into this book. It's
not something that I would normally pick up, but since it got so many
great reviews I thought that I would give it a shot. I'm really glad
that I did! I was a bit worried about how much I would be able to
tolerate Marcelo as the narrator, but I shouldn't have been. Marcelo was
great. I loved his character and how he worked things out in his head
and didn't understand some things. His development throughout the story
is amazing. I loved how he changed right before my eyes.



Jasmine is a great character also, and I liked learning about the law
firm from her. Marcelo learns a lot about himself from her also, and
that was nice. Wendell is amazingly despicable, but the conversations
between him and Marcelo are funny. The first half is great, but when
Marcelo finds a picture of a girl with half a face it gets even better.
He has to make decisions that could affect a lot of people in both good
and bad ways.



This book is great, even if you don't think you'll like it, you will. I
would recommend it to anybody.
