Donna Tartt - My little Friend
I read it in the original and the RS traduction, and the traduction was almost better. The original is just so fucking lo-fi (grave mistypes), that I couldn't help but dot at it. I mean, I don't really want the fucking internet outside of it's confined habitat inside my computer, and I especially don't want it inside my books, thanks!
The wording is very "english", which I didn't like so much, and there's some severe problems with the speed of the narrative sometimes, but the ending is good, the storyline is delightfully uneventful in parts, and when the author dedicates herself to situations and characters instead of the "action", it's pretty decent. Additional points for the theory of mind working even for meth-heads and tranq-addicts in this book. Too bad my favorite character (Allison) is somewhat of a slop-job. Otherwise largely negligible, 4/6 pts.
