Aira writes beautifully. If I understood Spanish better, I would try to read his work in its native language. The back of the book description suggests a violent cop story, but it's much more about a sweet, slow-witted young man and the lives he touches. I noticed a bit of unnecessary repetition, but I'm not sure how much of that came from the translator. And on occasion, I thought I had missed something, but was actually just too impatient. A couple of key characters could have been developed more and developed earlier in the story, but overall I enjoyed it and it was a quick and easy read.
