“Si tú, igual que yo pensó que Jonas era una persona… bienvenido, estuviste igual o más confundida en todo el libro y cuando pensaste que ya lo tenías todo aclarado, Jackson vuelve a jugar con tu mente para que añadir más teorías interpretativas al libro.
Vuelvo a caer en la misma idea que Jackson es la inspiración para mucho del cine existente de terror. Y esa parte hace que la lectura te pueda generar esta familiaridad con los temas pero como escribí, de pronto haces corto y no sabes en qué punto estabas parado y cómo entender el siguiente capítulo.
Hay algo que me dice que este libro es mucho más personal, que hay más temas o miedos de la propia Jackson inmersos en esta lectura . Aunque no me enganchó tanto, considero que este libro puede generar más debate.”
