Específicamente esta versión está incompleta, quería leer el libro en físico y escucharlo para irme guiando en inglés y el audiolibro se salta capítulos o los lee en desorden.Fuera de eso, la historia es muy buena y completa

Escrito de una manera muy inteligente. Entreteje historias de muchos personajes, incluyendo unos reales; y le da mucho dinamismo a la novela. Se las recomiendo
