In the last post, I explained the introduction of the book in which the author explains that Matteo Alacran or Matt was created in a laboratory and that he was to be raised in a house by a women named Celia. Celia and Matt developed a very good relationship being though Matt was to never to leave the house. The house was a small cabin like house on the property of a very big and wealthy home. After breaking out the house and injuring himself the few kids that found him carried him to the big house. When getting to the house on of the people who works in the building who was also the father of the children scolded them for going anywhere near Matt because he was "an animal". After taking the children away from Matt they locked him into a dark room by himself with a bed and a blanket. This left me as a reader with many questions as far as who Matt could possibly be, why he was created and how will he react when he finds out who he actually is.
As i continued to read throughout the story, it unfolded the secret of who Matt is but has yet it explain what his purpose is entirely. The doctor and a lady by the name of Rosa were the caretakers of Matt. Rosa wasn't very nice she caught on of the little girls, Maria, giving Matt dinner and lost it. Rosa barred her from coming near Matt ever again. The next day she had a pen built for Matt and they filled it with wood shavings and then place Matt in it. An animal, the title just seems to be more and more accurate. At least by the way that they treat him. Matteo really misses Celia and he hates the way that Rosa is treating him but he is young and polite so he abides by her rules. After a few days of being treated like a pest and being teased by a rotten kid named Tom, Celia arrives with a terrified aura. She alerts Matt that she is planning a way to get him out of there and into better conditions. Celia was planning him exodus.
The next day, Rosa is in a bad mood. She's in a hurry for some reason though. Rosa scrubs Matt clean and gets him ready for a visit. In came Celia and El patron. El patron was the mysterious owner of the very nice mansion. He is a very old man. When asked how old he was he replied 140 years old. Celia is irate at the way that Matt has been treated and she informs El patron of Rosa's actions. El patron has Rosa hauled off because this upset him as well. During Matt's talk with El patron we learn two important things. Matt really likes him and that El patron is thee Matteo Alacran. Matt is El patron's clone! This explains why Matt was addressed as a Matteo Alacran but it doesn't explain how many there is or were. Which brings me to my newer questions that i look to have answered in the next blog. Why do people not like Matt if he is a clone of their boss? Why is Matt a clone? How is El Patron 140 years old? How come Matt has grown out of his outgoing personality?

This book just gets more and more interesting as I read your blogs. That's crazy how Matt is a clone of the boss. This makes me wonder if there was a reason why the boss wanted a clone. El patron had to have known about Matt the whole time.
