few days ago I finished reading 'The Hive'. My brother asked me to give him a chance English classical literature and experience, regrettably, was not expected. It is also true that at the time warned me that if I was going to read some of Camilo Jose Cela would be better to read 'La Familia de Pascual Duarte', but after reading 'The Hive' I'm not sure you want to know Pascual Duarte and own.
really, it's not a bad book. In fact, it is very interesting pieces, but in my opinion is what your final dull which makes it fail. It is "a novel about nothing", which Cela reflects the social order of the postwar era in Spain. The late writer tells several stories cross related including by wire which in principle would have seemed nonexistent, and does so brilliantly.
However, personally, I would say that has not been as rewarding as reading would have expected, especially (again) because the end left me too cold, as if nothing had happened, as if I had been reading know little. Perhaps that was precisely the intention of Cela, a novel cold and without a specific end: lifelike as life itself.
PS: Tomorrow I start working again as a telephone interviewer. Two hours and some roundtrip train given to read a lot. Right now I'm reading a book report on the frustrated signing of Alfredo Di Stefano from FC Barcelona in 1953, before he arrived at Real Madrid. And I will comment, but I assure you boot a long time since I read a book so biased, or at least I think so. For the next reading, I accept suggestions. I hope to get time to keep counting here are my impressions.
