review 1: Simplemente Cojonudo...Me engancho de principio a fin...Personajes todos ellos 100% "made in Javier, humor negro para parar un tren, cinismo a borbotones, onirismo, thriller, ....Pero joder si hasta se lo montan Sephen king y Pink Floyd con el Universo Marvel, el rollo "rasta" jamaicano e incluso el RCD Español de fondo...literatura fresca fresca....Si Delillo le hiciera un guión a Tarantino o Lynch ni si quiera rozaría lo que ha hecho aquí Javier Calvo. Recomendado 100%.
review 2: If you like black comedy, then you will like this book. A friend gave me this book because he read that it was about Barcelona. It was about Barcelona - and everything was painted with a broad stroke - seedy, dark and cynical. The tourists are drunken English louts, the rich are ... moreall criminals, the criminals are shady characters (yes the similarity was a little too obvious), the women are either sex crazed, crazy or both, and the rest of the characters are even more shady types (lots of drugs, references to Pink Floyd, and porn). The two main characters are a teen girl obsessed about Stephen King and literally goes nuts while the other, the young man who inherits his father's company and wants revenge for his father's death several decades before. There are Russian mobsters, a Bob Marley loving criminal, a slutty high-end gallery owner and an aging mother of the young man who is plainly evil. If any of these interest you, pick up this book. For me it did nothing. less
