This book is written in SUCH an interesting way. I’m not sure how I would’ve got on reading it physically, or if I would’ve got on with it as well, but listening to the audiobook was a great experience. I loved the insights into random character’s thoughts, and how we jumped between viewpoints. 

There were so many powerful moments in this. I had full on chills when
the boys entered the theatre
. I don’t often care when the book title is mentioned in the text, but this time it was incredibly powerful. And of course, a sign of any good book, I shed some tears. 

What a unique work, Jimenez is something special.
