cybermule: (books)
Picked it up because it was about Buenos Aires society, and I'd been talking about Buenos Aires with someone the day before. You know how it goes...

I definitely liked the gently implicit weaving of the collapsing politics and economics of the city all through the pages of the book. I liked the constant air of claustrophobia and slight menace. The actual plot I'm not so sure about, but then it is kind of rattling around in my brain still. It's been made into a film by Guillermo del Toro, so I'd probably quite like to see that.

One for the "eventual re-read" pile.
