En un segundo la vida se fractura y todo se desgarra: crónicas sobre una mujer que sobrevivió a un tsunami; el infierno del atentado a las Torres Gemelas; la cuadriplejia tras un accidente mortal inverosímil; dar a luz con sida; la desaparición de una hija, y tres muertes y una resurrección por covid-19. Pocas veces un recuento de crónicas logra un equilibrio perfecto entre dolor y esperanza, desesperación y voluntad: Ese instante lo consigue y lo rebasa. Se cuentan en estas páginas los días de pavor de una sobreviviente a un tsunami; el horror y salvación de una mujer durante el atentado a las Torres Gemelas; la inmensa fortaleza espiritual de un hombre después de sufrir un accidente automovilístico absurdo, mortal; la condena y batalla de una mujer inolvidable contagiada de sida; el misterio doliente de una joven desaparecida en el Caribe mexicano, y la lucha feroz contra la muerte y posterior resurrección de un enfermo de covid-19. La destacada periodista Silvia Cherem emplea toda su destreza y sensibilidad narrativas para trazar los rasgos más complejos de seres humanos expuestos a los padecimientos más atroces; comparte una serie de testimonios donde el sufrimiento físico y la fractura existencial se transforman en un nuevo aliento para doblegar la crisis, un jamás darse por vencido después de ese instante que desgarró numerosas vidas. El lector tiene en sus manos un libro que hace ver muy frágil a la ficción por su memorial intenso de sobrevivencia, desafío mortal y deseos de vivir, en suma, una obra escrita desde la entraña de sus protagonistas: inolvidable, extraordinaria. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLife can be fractured and turned up in a second, as shown in these stories about the persons who survived a tsunami; the hell of the attack on the World Trade Center; quadriplegia after an unlikely fatal accident; giving birth with AIDS; the disappearance of a daughter, and three deaths and one resurrection from covid-19.
Very rarely, journalism achieves a perfect balance between pain and hope, despair and good will; the texts reunited in this book accomplish it.
The days of terror of a tsunami survivor are tell in these pages; along with the horror and salvation of a woman that experienced the attack on the World Trade Center; the immense spiritual strength of a man after suffering a senseless, deadly car accident; the battle of a woman with AIDS; the suffering mystery of a young girl that disappeared in the Mexican Caribbean; and the fierce fight against the death and subsequent resurrection of a covid-19 patient. The renowned journalist Silvia Cherem uses all her skills and narrative sensitivity to trace the most complex features of human beings. Cherem shares a series of testimonies where physical suffering and existential fracture are transformed into a new opportunity to overcome the crisis. The people living these realities never give up after that moment that tore their lives apart. The readers have in their hands a book that makes fiction look very fragile. Here the intense memorial of survival prevails, along with mortal challenge and desire to live. It is a work written from the heart of its protagonists: unforgettable, extraordinary.

Nice Pillow
Color: White, Size: King
I waited a few weeks before writing this review. It’s very difficult to find Info on this pillow but here’s my take on it.
Height:
It’s a nice height on the pillow. It has a 2” gusset which upon my research is a way to keep the inside foam and down at least 2” high.
Types of sleeping:
I find this pillow to be comfortable in all sleep positions. I do find that because it’s not full foam that you don’t get that full compression feeling so back sleep is not as comfortable to me as other pillows I’ve used but still very comfortable
Back:
Has enough height that my neck is supported. It’s not full foam so you will have to adjust your head position so it fits perfectly into the curve of the pillow for best support.
Side:
Thick enough that the compatibility with my mattress sink allows my body to be comfortably aligned. I have a medium hybrid tempurpedic luxe breeze.
Stomach:
Just barely thick enough to be comfortable. I sleep somewhat weird and like my arm to go under the pillow. This gives me the correct height for stomach sleeping if I put my head on the bottom part of the pillow. This also allows me to breathe lol.
Cooling
This pillow has awesome cooling. Even when I wake up the pillow is still ice cold. Never had this feeling before and I’m a hot sleeper so i really like this. Granted I do set my house temperature to like 73 to sleep. The sensor is right next to my bed so it’s a true 73.
Material
This has foam outer layers and a fiber fill. It really does feel unique and it’s comfy. It’s a decently heavy pillow too in king so that gives confidence there is good quality foam and materials in it.
One thing to know, the cover is “slippery” and it took some getting used to, even though I use a pillow case I can feel it slides in the case more than other pillows. I think it’s because the cover is very thing to promote airflow and heat transfer.
I wish it was adjustable for the price.
Price
I like the pillow, and got mine on sale. But I do think it’s a bit overpriced for what it is. Evidently the sale price I got wasn’t a good price and it’s gone as much as 20% off. Oh well.

Great Cooling, But Lacking Support
Color: White, Size: Standard
I have to agree with some of the other reviews—this pillow just doesn't offer enough support. It initially feels plush and inviting, but after a minute or so, your head sinks too far and ends up pressing against the underlying latex, which has a rubbery, somewhat uncomfortable feel. It might be an excellent fit for those with smaller frames, but for me, it fell short in terms of proper neck and head support.
On the plus side, the cooling aspect is impressive. It's cool to the touch and noticeably more breathable than many pillows I've tried. I've seen some complaints about it not staying cool all night, but honestly, no pillow really does. Casper's claim of "12 hours of cooling" seems like marketing optimism—your body heat will eventually warm up any pillow, no matter how well-designed. That’s just basic thermodynamics.
All in all, it's a well-made pillow with excellent cooling performance. If you have a smaller frame, this could be a great choice. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work for my needs.

Is this a joke?
Color: White, Size: King
I don't usually write reviews, but I have to for this pillow. The pillow measures 16" x 32", not 18" x 34" as stated in the description. That's not really a big deal, but they should have the correct size in the description. The problem with this pillow is the total lack of support. My head falls through this pillow within a half hour of laying my head on it. This causes me neck pain and I have to switch to my old pillow in the middle of the night. I'm a bigger dude that's 6'3" and I only sleep on my side. I thought this pillow would be great based on the other reviews that stated it works for side sleepers. I would describe this pillow as a greatly overpriced marshmallow. The pillow does have some decent cooling properties, but they don't last all night as described. This pillow would probably work great for someone who sleeps on their stomach. I wouldn't recommend this pillow to a bigger dude that's a side sleeper.
Note: I did find a great Casper pillow that works for me. I bought the Casper Sleep Essential Cooling Foam pillow on Amazon. It's the one that's all foam with a phase change layer to help with cooling. The pillow has great support and it doesn't cause me any neck pain. The best part is the price, it cost less than half the price of the Hybrid Snow Pillow. I hope this review helps someone.

A Near Perfect Pillow
Color: White, Size: King
I was hesitant to order this pillow because it was so expensive. I was looking for a cooling pillow and after a previously purchased pillow lost it's "cool" after a few nights of sleeping on it, I was concerned that this Casper pillow would do the same.
The pillow is so comfortable. My only complaint is that it does not seem to hold the coolness all night. I find I need to flip the pillow over part way through the night. But, when I flip the pillow, it is perfectly cool.
The pillow is supportive without being too firm. I love this pillow!

Not quite right….
Color: White, Size: Standard
I’m torn on this pillow. While it does have merit, there were some serious “flaws” for me. I am a side sleeper and I’ve been on the hunt for a neck supportive pillow. This didn’t have that for me. The night started with good possibility, but I woke up several hours in and found the pillow flat where I was; all the filling had moved to the top. It IS very cool to the touch and I could definitely tell it was cool while sleeping on it. The loft of this pillow is fine, but not stupendous, and the softness was pretty great. Overall, just not the best. If the filling had stayed put through the night, I might’ve kept, but as it was, I returned.
