Este libro es corto, conciso y directo, y tiene un mensaje increíble en sus apenas 100 páginas. Fácil de leer, lectura ligera y entretenida, y al mismo tiempo lidia con temas difíciles. Recomendada.

Es entretenido y me ha gustado que te sumerja en la cultura de la selva y sus características. Está bien para pasar el rato, pero no es un libro trascendental.

So, what is this book about? Facing your fears? The old man has no fears. Finding your love? The old man has, and perhaps never had, any love. Doing what ya gotta do? Perhaps. I mean somebody has to do it. Is it a commentary against materialism? Is it an eco-thriller about the destruction of natural habitat and the dangerous consequences thereof? Is it just a story?

Latin American writers do that to me. Probably a cultural divide I will never overcome. I seldom know how to read their works. But I keep coming back to them!

Ce petit roman fait aimer l'Amazonie violente et sanguinaire où chaque pas de côté est un danger. J'en suis sortie la tête à l'endroit.
