não achei a função de fazer histórico de leitura no site, então vai aqui mesmo.
Sempre tive curiosidade de conhecer esse livro, mas sempre havia outros passando na frente. Achei a história emocionante daquelas dificeis de esquecer, e o Charlie é uma belezura de personagem bem construido. Não esperava tanto disso aqui, mas me supreendi. Vale demais o título de clássico
