PAGES: 106


SUMMARY:

Carla decides to rehearse her revenge on these men and starts by buying a ticket to Cuba.
On her first step she would have contact with one of those ex-husbands who are going to pay from everything that they have done to their couples.
Step by step she will manage to find them wherever they live and how their lives have changed, although it will be the end.
Finally she will be able achieve its purpose and its real intention with respect to the true guilty of the entire happened one.

LANGUAGE / STYLE:

As far as the language used by the author we can emphasise that it is British English, furthermore is a little informal for that reason it is easy to understand.
If you realize that the main character belongs to a middleclass position and they are used to talk this way.
During the course of the book the main protagonist visits many places in which a different slang in each is used, it is joint the use to him of specific vocabulary.On the other hand, the author does not use many rhetorical devices, so it would be easy to understand for a advanced student.

OPINION:

The book treats a present subject and it even can get to be funny but it depends much on the reader of the same. In my opinion the author takes the subject towards a personal land and to the being man the end of the book does not seem to me honest. For that reason I invite to you to read it.
