Chiquita (Premio Alfaguara de novela 2008)

5 reviews
Antonio Orlando Rodriguez

Alfaguara, 2008

Just Great / Muy Divertido
Just finished reading Chiquita. Very entertaining. You never know if what you are reading is true or false, and the description of the characters, places, etc. just great. The author has this kind of humor, you know he is enjoying himself writing those outrageous situations. Reminded me of Cien Años de Soledad, or Pantaleón y las Visitadoras.

La voluntad y la fortuna / Will and Fortune
Carlos Fuentes

Alfaguara, 2008

As Cain and Abel, two brothers confront each other for their father's lover, the most powerful man in the country. La voluntad y la fortuna is the great novel of Mexico s past and the present of a Narconation . An incredible and real story; Fuente s most awaited novel. Caressed by the gentle nighttime waves of a beach in the Pacific Ocean, the severed head of Josue Nadal remembers, digresses and tells its story. It knows that in the course of ...

Eclipse (Spanish Edition)

Stephenie Meyer

Alfaguara, 2007

Exquisitely Crafted
This was my favorite book in the series, with Twilight as a close second. As a reader, you are really brought into the story and get to experience all of the confusion and angst as it happens. I loved the dialogue, how there was humor and commonality between the Edward and Jacob characters. It seemed very authentic to me. The story was crafted with care and the emotional impact of this book made ...

Vampires are fascinating
I highly recommend this book. I could not put it down. It is my favorite book out of the series. I can't wait for the movie.

Travesuras de la niña mala (The Bad Girl: A Novel)

30 reviews
Mario Vargas Llosa

Alfaguara, 2006

Just a masterpiece
I got this book as it was recommended by a person I love a lot. She told me that this will be a good reading and she was absolutely right. The way how Mario Vargas Llosa describes every single place, situation and feelig is just something that gets you into the history pretty quickly. It was really hard to stop reading it since i started it. That is why I finished it just in 2 nights. Mischiefs ...

Don Quijote de la Mancha

Miguel de Cervantes

Alfaguara, 2004

400 años and still a jewel
Por fin me decidí a leer este clásico. Por muchos años anduve postergando el hacerlo. Una porque pensaba que el castellano sería algo aburrido debido a que ya han pasado 400 años. Pero no, después de unos cuantos capítulos me acostumbré a los verbos ya en desuso. Las notas al pie de las páginas han sido muy útiles. La belleza de la lengua de Don Quijote, aunque parezca rimbombante, en contraste ...

Luna Nueva (New Moon) (Twilight Saga, Book 2) (Paperback) (Twilight Saga)

6 reviews
Stephenie Meyer

Alfaguara, 2007

Aficciante
Si ya se leyeron Crespulo, podran entender mis palabras. Este libro es aficciante, triste, hermoso y divino. Uno no se imagina todas las cosas que puden pasar. Esta es la base para entender más a fondo los futuros enredos en los que se encontraran nuestros personajes.

La reina del sur/ The Queen of the South

Arturo Perez-Reverte

Alfaguara, 2008

Could not stop reading!!!
This is my first book by Perez-Reverte and I just loved it. The easy flow of the story keeps you wanting more and more. Very realistic, when you are reading you are not sure whether is the description or real events (if any) it transports the reader to the different scenarios, fascinating, interesting. Also, i need to mention the use of mexican slang by the author made it feel extra real, like ...

Stephenie Meyer

Alfaguara, 2007

Twilight RULES!
Ok, to all the people that think this book sucks, are totally WRONG! This book is awesome, I have read all 4 books from Bella's point of veiw. And I can't wait for the next four but from Edward's point of veiw to come out. If you like romance,action, and fanasty then this book is for you! I think it is inapporiate for kids of a young age, well, at least the 4th book is! Well, that is all. p.s ...

Mira Si Yo Te Querre (Premio Alfaguara 2007)

8 reviews
Luis Leante

Alfaguara, 2007

Couldn't put it down
I opened this book out of curiosity, intending to just read the first paragraph, but once I started I couldn't put it down. I read the whole book in one weekend. I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but this book was easy for me to read. The author paints vivid pictures of the Saharan desert and of all the characters of the novel without resorting to obscure, flowery words that you wouldn't hear ...

7 reviews
Carlos Fuentes

Aguilar, Altea, Taurus, Alfaguara, S.A. de C., 1998

Best book I have read in a long time
Los espejos simbolizan la realidad............. De los espejos de obsidiana de la urbe totonaca de El Tajin a los espejos ibericos de Cervantes y Velasquez, el de la locura y el del asombro, un intercambio de reflejos ha ido y venido incesantemente de una a otra orilla del Atlantico. (Excerpted from the back cover of the book). Such reflejos are the subject of the book, which is listed as an ...

Ensayo Sobre La Ceguera (Biblioteca Jose Saramago)

Jose Saramago

Alfaguara, 2002

Ensayo sobre moral.
No creo que pueda decir nada que ya no se haya dicho sobre la trama de este libro, solo puedo agregar que apenas lei la primera pagina me enganche, y no pude soltarlo hasta terminar de leerlo. Ensayo sobre la ceguera es el primer libro de una trilogia, "involuntaria", de Saramago, y ya estoy esperando con ansia poder leer "Todos los Nombres" y "La Caverna", los otros dos titulos de esta trilogia. ...

El hablador

Mario Vargas Llosa

Alfaguara, 2008

EXCELLENT!
Este libro es muy diferente a cualquier otro escrito por Vargas Llosa. En el, al mismo tiempo que narra la historia de un amigo de la juventud (ficticia o cierta, la verdad es que para el caso no importa), muestra con una vision de antropologo la filosofia y estilo de vida de una tribu de la amazonia peruana, asi como los peligros a los que esta expuesta a causa de la civilizacion. La obra ...

Un dia de colera
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Alfaguara, 2008

This is not a fictional tale nor a history book, nor does it have-strictly speaking-a main character, as there were countless men and women involved in the events that took place in Madrid in 1808. Heroes and cowards, victims and executioners, history kept the names of most of them. The people, places, and events recounted here are real, as are much of the words that are spoken. In this book, Arturo Perez-Reverte transforms the obscure and ...

Instrucciones para salvar el mundo/ Instructions to Save the World

Four characters absorbed in the apocalyptic modernity of a great city will bear witness to the crossing of their own destinies. A widowed taxi driver unable overcome the death of his wife, a jaded doctor, an African prostitute clinging to life, and an elderly scientist, star in an urban novel set on a background rife with serial killers, sadomasochistic housewives, and small wonders. A story of hope that will keep you enthralled from the first ...

Nuestra senora de la soledad

3 reviews
Marcela Serrano

Aguilar, Altea, Taurus, Alfaguara, S.A. de C., 1999

feminist detective fiction
Nuestra Senora de la Soledad is a fabulously written detective novel with a twist. It graciously transcends the pre-established boundaries of detective fiction. While containing all of the key elements of the traditional detective novel, Nuestra Senora de la Soledad endows them with a new vitality. This novel, rich in dualities of all sorts, takes place in both Chile and Mexico. The ...

Campoy Isabel (Author) Alma Flor Ada (Author)

Alfaguara Infantil, 2006

Great for Spanish language learners
I developed a lesson plan comparing Christmas in Latin America with Christmas in the U.S. for my preschool Spanish program. This book was excellent! The pictures made it easy to understand and the comparison of the two cultures was built right in. Following the story is a pictoral explanation of Christmas and the Day of the Three Kings as well.
