Me gustó mucho, me resultó muy interesante y me parece una buena opción para adentrarme a los clásicos. Una gran historia con una crítica social que lleva a la reflexión en muchos puntos de la novela y que hoy en día, por lo menos para mi, tiene el mismo impacto que en sus años de publicación.
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.”
I had some problems with this book, but overall I though it was fine. My main problem with it was that the characters were worse than I wanted them to be, but it's a personal preference so I can still see why it's a book loved by many. And I liked the writing style and Nick's narration.
