What's your opinion about "Hopscotch" (Rayuela) by Julio Cortázar?

If you are fine with non-linear plots its amazing.

If you're, say, under 21, it's beautiful, painful, life-changing. If you're above that line, I've heard it's a great experiment that failed.

Srsly tho, I read it at 16, 17, and now again at 18. It's lost part of its magic, but it is still extremely well written.

well, it is a book of a 40-ish years old argie guy that is a loser who lives like a 20-ish years old guy how want to be poet and is deported from Paris to Buenos Aires.

it have sense if a person with a family and kids doesn't like it and a young hipster love it. I am 35, and I like it, but I think that his short stories are better

it isn't exactly that nobody cares, it is that nobody can do anything because La Maga is a stupid girl.
And there you see that Oliveira is a fucking idiot.

I never understood why girls want to be like La Maga and not like Talita who is a really cool woman.
