It was probably a mistake to read this book in Spanish. I know I lost a lot of the imagery and humor because my vocabulary in Spanish isn't quite what it should be. But I also suspect I still wouldn't have loved it like so many people do. Much like Magic Mountain, I get why it is such a big deal, but I just wasn't moved. I'm tired of reading archetypes, especially of women. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this kind of book. Or maybe it just isn't my kind of book.
