Memorias de un amigo imaginario

This is a book for children, we meet Max who is a very special boy, I personally didn't like Max, but that's because I really really don't like kids, I find them annoying and hate them. So having a story around Max was really boring for me, giving that Max has his special problems. I really hate kids

Letting that aside, this book was fine. Budo is an interesting character, is funny how we see the world through his perspective, and the fact that he is smarter than Max really helps.

When Max is kidnapped, we can see the desperation of Budo, who is unable of talking to anybody, well he does talk, but nobody listens. So he is the only one that knows what happened to Max but there is nothing he can do about it. Honestly, Budo wouldn't have made it, if it weren't for his other imaginary friends. So that a lesson there, ask for help and find friends

One thing that I really like is, Budo constant fear of dying, every time he is terrified that Max would stop believing in him, that he would just forget about him, and Budo just dies, disappears. He is aware of this mortality, normally an imaginary friend does not live long, and disappears once his human friend doesn't need him anymore, so he has seen his friends died in front of him. He really doesn't wanna die, even comes to a term where if he doesn't save Max, he would live forever, he really considers that possibility. But in the end, he accepts that the best thing to do is to save Max, and he would be saving his parents too.

So in the end Budo sacrifices himself so that Max can live. So that Max grows up and becomes a better child. Budo really loves Max, so he was willing to do that, even if that costs him his life
