Lectura conjunta del grupo Letras Macabras Reseña en español: Click aquí4.5 stars: This book was hard for me to rate because I saw the movie a lot of times, so I already knew how it would end and some of the most disturbing scenes on the book didn't shock me as they were supposed to. But despite th...
