La ambición no justifica los medios

by ovidiosuarez (see profile) 01/18/12

El libro describe como el protagonista para obtener unas fórmulas magistrales (perfumes) debe asesinar a jóvenes muchachas vírgenes, obtener sus fluidos corporales y licuar sus olores íntimos. Abre pie a la pregunta ¿La ambición justifica los medios?

"Muy buen libro, con un poco de repelus a veces"by ovidio s. (see profile) 01/18/12

Es una obra interesante que despierta el interés del lector, es una de las mejores obras que he leído y recomendable. Algunas escenas pueden producir cierta repugnancia.
