This type of book helps a lot in understanding human nature. The story of Juan turning into a evil, a person will touch the heart of the reader because of emotional bonds. Would love to give it a try.

The title is quite grabbing. The plot also sounds very captivating. I'd like to see what Juan actually goes through to make him decide he is a actually a bad man. As a footnote, bildungsroman, I just learned a new word, thanks😁😁. Exceptional review.

Life circumstances often shape us into different things we least expected. An interesting book to read.

The story of Juan represents most of the children. They had to let go of living their childhood life to continue living. This sounds like a catchy plot of the book. I enjoyed your review.

So difficult to turn out good when surrounded with the wrong people. I could literally feel the possibility of Juan turning very bad by reading this review. Congrats on BOTD. Nice review

Juan's life is just a replica of how many young people's life has been transformed by life situations. I would love to read this book.

I'm intrigued by this review.
"He embraces his destiny and is unapologetic about that fact." I'd like to see how Juan plays out the role of being a product of social vices.
Congratulations to the author and the BOTD.

This book follows the story of Juan and his life growing up in Columbia. His unfortunate circumstance exposed him to poverty and illegal substance. This seems like an interesting book. Congrats on botd!

The books does a wonderful task of informing in a creative and captivating way. Take the title, it makes me want to read it. The evil which is the normal for Juan isn't for everyone and that's a reason to read this book. Thank you for a splendid review. I enjoyed reading it.

We humans can be greatly influenced by our environment. I will say that Juan was surrounded by a lot of vices, and I just hope that his childhood experiences will make him stronger and more courageous. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

The book looks at the growth and development of Juan into a symbol of evil. Juan had a challenging upbringing that imposed on him adult duties at a young age. The difficult childhood he had shaped his character in a negative way.

Your review is very convoluted and ambiguous. I don't know if I should read this book or not. On one hand, I am interested in reading about Juan and his life but again, if the book is anything like your review, I don't think I'd enjoy it.

The book sounds quite intriguing. The author seems to have done a good job portraying Juan's character. I'm curious to know how Juan's character plays out through the story. Congrats on BOTD!!
