with the apparent reason and is very violent.

Activity 3: Discussion

In general, the woman's character is somewhat fickle and psychologically wrong,

the main character I perceive as naive because apparently he has no character to
be able to do something and get out of that hell, it is a complicated reading
because there are words that I do not understand 100 % but however I have set
myself the task of investigating, in the same way in the part where the police try to
rescue the main character it happens that they ambush him and it turns out that he
also keeps him as a prisoner, it is illogical because it is supposed that in Cases like
these call their "reinforcements" meaning more police equipment, in conclusion this
book is too fanciful.
