It's a classic and it shows. I really enjoyed the critical parts. There are some very, very boring parts, tho. Maybe I didn't enjoy those as English isn't my first language, but I just had to do it for Oscar Wilde.
It was definitely great to read "the origin story" of a character I've mainly known from League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie.

Una bella escritura, particularmente las primeras fases del libro. Una lectura muy visual que me atrapaba.
Ahora bien, se me deshizo el hechizo cuando la trama termina desarrollándose en algo demasiado... Reivindicativo y ¿"comercial"?

And I repeat, it might be the point of the book, so, if that is the case, then great job. I just did not enjoy it or gained any interesting insight.

A bunch of interesting ideas, but miles away from a great book.
La volveré a leer. 100 %. Es uno de esos libros. No diré nada más.
Un libro cortísimo que no necesita casi nada para atraparte. No considero que sea magistral, ya que al final tampoco puedes hacer tanto con tan pocas páginas, pero sin duda, para las pocas páginas que son... Es muy entretenido.
