David Chijindu, thank you for your review of Sonora Pass by Jaime Almos.

You made this piece of literature attractive for me. The fact that it stresses the importance of having good friends got my attention right away. You mentioned that the author's portrayal of the characters is excellent and that the story is about a reunion of friends in Montréal. Montreal is a city that I know well. Therefore this book is sure to be an interesting read for me.

Character-driven novels are the best kind, regardless of plot. It seems that this book falls nicely into that category.

I'm not really a fan of historical fiction but a book centering around good friendships plus a murder mystery is definitely one I'd enjoy. Maybe I'll try this one and see if it interests me.

Who cares, he has friends and the whole world. A good friend is hard to find, but easy to lose. That's why there are more and more people who lose true friends and keep the bad ones. .

The book's plot revolves around friendship and its impact on our lives, which I deeply appreciate. The diversity in characters keeps the readers from being bored, as each has their own story to follow. I find this technique very smart for keeping the readers engaged. Congratulations on BOTD!

Loved how the book focused on the importance of friendship. I am curious to read more about Estaban, Rodrigo, and Celia’s love triangle controversy. I can't wait to finish reading the book to find out. Thank you for writing a captivating review!

I think Relationships are one of the most important things in life. I'm glad there's a book to remind us of the importance of genuine relationships in a world where violence is the order of the day.

'Official Review: Sonora Pass' by Jaime Olmos has a good introduction. It reflects on the merits of the author's work for readers. The point that the book is about the reunion party for the two protagonists' old college friends in Montreal is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that the authors taught readers the importance of good friendship using the stories in the book is remarkable. It was great to learn that the authors portray the characters excellently!

Good and lasting friendships are sometimes hard to find, but when you do, they are golden. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds interesting. I guess there is a murder mystery somewhere in this book, because the review kept saying "vindicating Esteban". Maybe I'll try to read it. Thanks for the review.

I read this book a while back. I was not too impressed. It was difficult to follow the mystery because the graphic novel format did not allow clear explanations of the goings-on.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find how how the friendship between and Maite and among Rodrigo, Raul and Esteban change as they dip into a deeper relationship. Will their reunion result to what a true reunion should be about or will it be a life-changing event that will change the dynamics of friendship?
