Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
The cat! I've never laughed so hard at a book about the secret police. Amaya Lacasa's Spanish keeps the jokes; the English I started with had flattened them into something merely clever.

In Spanish it's called De animales a dioses, a much better title. The first third, fine. After that he's explaining to me things which I already knew, and other things which I don't think he knows either. Has anyone checked the middle third?6 out of 10Sapiens
