O Leitor De Cadáveres (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

Loved the story although it was very slow in several places. The plot was good. Frustrated at the end though because it seemed that the author gave the plot its explanation through a dialogue between Ci and Ming in the last chapter. The story was set in Thirteenth Century China and the main character, Ci Song, is based on the man who is considered to have founded Forensic Science. I loved the character of Ming; however he started out so strong and sure and became weak just to suddenly become strong and sure again. I didn't think the author stayed true to his initial creation of him. En la antigua China, sólo los jueces más sagaces alcanzaban el codiciado título de lectores de cadáveres, una élite de forenses que, aun a riesgo de su propia vida, tenían el mandato de que ningún crimen, por irresoluble que pareciera, quedara impune.Cí Song fue el primero de ellos.Inspirada en un personaje real, El lector de cadáveres narra la extraordinaria historia de un joven de origen humilde cuya pasión y determinación le condujeron desde su cargo como enterrador en los Campos de la Muerte de Linan a aventajado discípulo en la prestigiosa Academia Ming. Allí, envidiado por sus pioneros métodos y perseguido por la justicia, despertará la curiosidad del mismísimo emperador, quien le convocará para rastrear los atroces crímenes que, uno tras otro, amenazan con aniquilar a la corte imperial.Un absorbente thriller histórico, extraordinariamente documentado, en el que la ambición y el odio van de la mano con el amor y la muerte en la exótica y fastuosa China medieval

What do You think about O Leitor De Cadáveres (2011)?

I think this is probably a good book spoiled by a poor translation.
