The story is fresh, imaginative. A very cool concept about humanity, control and faith.

Narratively speaking, I don't know if it's because of the writer or the translator, but the narration and dialogues are dull. Another thing to consider, this is a heavily plot-driven book. Take that as a warning, since most characters are plain and just serve the story purpose.

Even with that wooden words, it was very enjoyable, I liked that the narration went back and forth while dealing with the secrets. If this gets a movie it'd be pretty cool.

Update: Lo volví a leer, esta vez en español. Mejoró mi experiencia de lectura por mucho, la traducción es directa del chino al español y fue bastante agradable.
Los diálogos me parecieron muy falsos, forzados, pero se entiende que todo es para que la trama avance. Los únicos dos personajes que tienen personalidad son Ye Wenjie y Da Shi.
Ya todo listo para seguir con "El bosque oscuro".
