It's always about love isn't it? Everyone feels it, nobody truly understands it.

In this novel we learn the story of 'Clay Dunbar', the silent one, the boy with too much heart. One of five misfit brothers, the tireless unstoppable runner, an immovable force of nature. Training beyond meaning, relentlessly, unbeknown, and yet also aware, of a fateful day to come. The day of reckoning.

Before the Bridge, there was a Clay and a Carey.
Before the Murderer, there was a Michael and a Penelope; and an Abbey.
Two generations scarred by love, and tragedy.
A crazy idea unites them. The construction of an arched bridge.
The lifetime masterpiece of a murderer, and a boy with limitless heart.

A truly remarkable read. You only have to get past the first part of the book, which is an utter mess of near incomprehensible writing. But if you somehow manage to survive it, you then find a non-stop endless stream of terribly endearing moments. Beyond beautiful, beyond painful. I pretty much bookmarked every single page. Still, my all-time favorite is 'The Messenger', by far. But THIS ONE. This one is really something else. And 'The Book Thief' of course, literary awesomeness. Zusak never disappoints. Well, almost never.

PERSONAL NOTE : I apologize for the long delay between reviews, my mother broke her hip so I've been caring for her 24/7, which naturally took a nice toll on my reading time. Also must say I've been going through a gamer phase. Sadly, reading is but one of my many vices, which include but is not limited to, reading, gaming and movie-ing. So you can expect from me a ton of reviewing followed by weeks or months of complete silence from time to time, as I go through my different phases. I'm hoping to go through a reading phase again soon enough. Furthermore, I sort of promised myself not to read anything else until I was done with this effing book, which gave me one of my worst reading slumps ever. Not to mention, I sort of seem to have lost my desire to write. So, yeah, taking everything into consideration, it all contributed to create the perfect non-reading storm. Missed you all! Hope to be back soon :D!

Siempre se trata del amor no? Todos lo sienten, nadie en verdad lo entiende.

En esta novela conocemos la historia de 'Clay Dunbar', el silencioso, el chico con demasiado corazón. Uno de cinco hermanos inadaptados, el corredor incansable, imparable, una inmovible fuerza de la naturaleza. Entrenando fuera de cualquier sentido, sin descanso, desconociendo, y de alguna manera consciente, de un fatídico día por llegar. El día de ajustar cuentas.

Antes del Puente, había un Clay y una Carey.
Antes del Asesino, había un Michael y una Penelope; y una Abbey.
Dos generaciones marcadas por el amor, y la tragedia.
Una idea descabellada los une. La construcción de un puente arqueado.
La pieza maestra de la vida de un asesino, y de un chico con corazón ilimitado.

Una lectura realmente destacable. Sólo hay que pasar la primera parte del libro, que es un desastre total de casi incomprensible escritura. Pero si de alguna manera lográs sobrevivirlo, encontrás después un imparable manantial de infinitos y terriblemente entrañables momentos. Más allá de hermoso, más allá de doloroso. Podría decir que resalté casi cada una de sus páginas. Igual, mi favorito de todos los tiempos sigue siendo 'Cartas Cruzadas', por lejos. Pero ESTO. Este libro es realmente algo aparte. Y por supuesto 'La Ladrona de Libros'. genialidad literaria. Zusak nunca decepciona. Bueno, casi nunca.
