A Pretty Face by Rafael Reig

Hi guys! I just finished reading the book and I am still thinking what I could say about it. To begin with I probably could say that it was not my cup of tea. It is a very complex style of writing and the fact that it is a translation does not help either. If you haven't read, I would not put you off from reading it but I would warn you that it could be a very daunting task. Anyway, sometimes a book does not fulfill us but it can give small insights of thought for us to digest. I will wait to receive some feedback before I proceed with my impressions about it. I don't want to spoil your reading.
