Вегетарианка

Definitivamente no es lo que esperaba. Es el primer libro que leo después de casi 10 años y no sé si fue la mejor elección para retomar la lectura; sin embargo, extrañaba cómo un libro puede causarte tantas emociones.
​La trama no tiene nada que ver con el título, o al menos no como lo tenía pensado. Muchas partes me dejaron con una sensación de «¿qué está pasando?», «¿por qué?» o «¡esto es demasiado!». Me sentí muy mal por las hermanas; lo peor es que esa es la realidad de muchas mujeres.

I know this book has received a lot of praise and even won major awards — but to be honest, I truly don’t understand why.I bought it thinking it was about a woman who becomes vegetarian — maybe as an act of quiet rebellion or emotional strength.Instead, I found it invasive, unsettling, and filled with disturbing scenes of emotional and sexual exploitation, told through the eyes of a deeply disturbed and sick man.I found it difficult to connect with any of the characters. I especially struggled to understand the woman at the center of the story — her actions, her silence, and the way she seemed so calm around her brother-in-law.One moment that really unsettled me was when she undressed in front of him, as if it meant nothing. It made me wonder: did she realize what she was doing? Did she see it as an affair with her sister’s husband, or was she too far removed from reality to care? The whole “art project” felt more like an excuse than anything meaningful.I kept asking myself whether she was mentally ill, whether this was supposed to be an act of rebellion — or whether she was simply lost. Unfortunately, the book never gave her a true voice, and her inner world remained a mystery, while the disturbing male perspectives took center stage.I don’t usually read books with explicit or graphic content — that’s simply not what I look for in literature. I hoped for something meaningful, moving, and introspective.What I got left me feeling disturbed and disappointed.I know not every book is for every reader — and this one was definitely not for me.

Veerryyy weird! I hated all of the men, which is the point - it was uncomfortable in many places, and I'm not sure I really "got" it but I didn't want to stop listening.
