Guero: perfect reader

(3,5 Sterne)

This is a confusing book, being so hilarious, and perfectly read by a very refined deadpan reader. Then it ended in a serious section, without any jokes at all. Such an unusual book— you only have to look at his pseudonym and then, hear how seriously Guero pronounces it!

Interesting

(4,5 Sterne)

V Very well read. A funny look at the phoney fortune teller. As a woman I feel sorry for the deep poverty these mostly women suffered.
