Me encanta como escribe Carmen Martín Gaite. Pero este libro lo encuentro muy irregular. Hay trozos que me han parecido muy interesantes y otros tremendamente aburridos.

malglam reviewed All Clear by Connie Willis

I can appreciate the huge work of trying to make us see what the life in the Blitz and the World War Two was for so many people. The acts of heroism that every day they had to face. But it's so tiresome to read once and again the same facts, making long chapters of going round and around the same subject, that in the last chapters you just want the hole thing to end.

Una forma muy original de narrar una historia que no me ha interesado nada. Creo que me falta bagaje cultural para disfrutarlo del todo.

At times, it's a hard book to read. But it's very interesting. It confronts the idea of intelligence versus consciousness. It exposes some situations where it is difficult to assert if someone is still an human. It makes you consider the idea of the self.
