Opinion: 

I like this book because have a lot of  mystery and the end is not like you imagine. Is a book wich if don't put atention you will be lost and won't understand nothing.

I read this book in english so was a little bit difficult but I understood all and I liked it.

Now I hear that there is a film about this book and I will see it this summer if I find it.
