Reading Eduardo Mendoza must be a whole experience in english. I have done it in spanish and he is simply one of the best writters in Spain. Not only for his deep knowledge of the "catalan" very particular way of being, but for his amazing talent to make people laugh trough a really well done literature. This particular book makes you share a crazy adventure, an impossible story that the reader ends up believing in it. This is the very first case of a derange patience who will leave his mental illness hospital to solve a mistery. And once is started the story, the reader wont have the strength to stop the book. Only laughing tears may do the miracle to close the book for an instant. A must yet not his best book.
