City of the beasts

Interesting, but this is not a fantasy fiction book. I found it too slow and had to coax myself to read further at times, while at other times I forgot about it entirely. I'm sure there are many who would enjoy it, and it is well written. It is also very well translated. At no point did I feel like I was reading a translation or missing parts of the story due to translation losses. I picked it up because my favourite tennis player spoke positively about it and... I suppose this was not meant for me.

I usually find Allende's work so luscious, such page turners, but this just didn't grab me. There were flashes of her usual brilliance but in general I found this foray into YA disappointing.

Una historia cargada de aventuras y magia en lo más profundo de la selva amazónica! De algún modo me lo terminé creyendo. Para mí, todo lo que pasó aquí es real! No le puse 5 estrellas nomas porque en teoría es un libro juvenil pero la prosa de Allende no lo es. Ya me explicaré mejor en el canal.

City of the Beasts

Kept me on edge. I felt like I was Indiana Jones reading this, such an adventure and the way they describe everything I could clearly imagine the details of every scene. Definitely recommend if you like adventurous stories in the wild and beasts.

3.5 actually Edit: [ I thought it through and I'll just give it 3 stars]
I really like the beginning, it was easy to read and some part even funny. But it got bored and some parts were very "predictable". 
Although, I really like the characters. Especially Nadia.
