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 ...

Roberto Bolano

The infinite desert lies at the end.
The last book by the chilean Roberto Bolaño, was also his last will. It is said that Bolaño spent the last three or four years of his short life almost enterily devoted to the task of writing this humongous novel and hoping he would have the chance of finishing it before he died. Fortunately, he did. Divided in 5 independent nouvelles, 2666 is an excesive example of what modern literature is ...

Ya es un clasico mexicano
Decidi leer esta novela al enterarme de que es la favorita de por lo menos siete de los escritores hispanoamericanos mas reconocidos del siglo que recien termino. Lo que lei me gusto muchisimo. La genialidad de Juan Rulfo al describir la relacion del pueblo mexicano con el tema de la muerte es indescriptible. Indispensable leer este libro para tener una vision completa de la literatura ...

Tough is great!
Esta no es una novela facil de leer; cuesta bastante entrar. Bryce es un escritor que demanda bastante del lector, pero creo que hay pocos novelistas que le dejan tanto, que le dan tanto al lector. "No me esperen en abril" es una historia de amor: de amor no solo entre un hombre y una mujer, pero tambien amor por los amigos, amor por los años y las experiencias que nos forman y definen como entes ...

ST. THERESA SAID IMAGINATION NEEDS CONTROL
This is a well done job. Many anecdotes are true, many are novelesque,nontheless, they are needed to explain the story. Picasso, states Rosa,"felt that imagination needs to be applied during hard work, not in a beautiful island with a drink."The story brings to the floor many ideas on how to handle creative impulses. An old friend of mine, now a catholic priest for 50 years,says that some people ...

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. ...

Sin partidismos e ideologias politicas
Vivo en Madrid, España, y unos familiares de Vitoria me regalaron por mi cumpleaños el libro "La Identidad Vasca en el Mundo" de Agustin y Pedro Oiarzabal. Mi padre salio de Salvatierra en los años 50 y cada vez que puedo, regreso al Pais Vasco a visitar a familiares y amigos. Cuento todo esto porque el libro me ha hecho pensar mucho en el hecho de tener ascendencia vasca. La verdad es que es ...

charming, entertaining, funny.
This book will keep you entertained since the start. I couldn't put it down. This is the first time I read one of Baylys books and I am going to get my second one. He is great! I highly recommend it.

Sad, Gripping Tale
Clipperton Island is a harsh, unliveable atoll in the Pacific, southwest of Mexico, inhabited only by such creatures as penguins and crabs, covered with a layer of bird guano, and surrounded by treacherous coral reefs. This forbidding speck of land, claimed at various times by France and by Mexico, is the setting for a sad and heroic novel by acclaimed author Laura Restrepo. The story begins ...

Mario Vargas Llosa

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!!
This is perhaps Vargas Llosa's best novel and a must for all those well-meaning readers in the developed world who eagerly idealize Latin American revolutions without knowing anything about these countries. The book is based on the true story of Antonio Vicente Mendes Maciel ("O Conselheiro"), a mad prophet of sorts -kind of a weird Christian ayatollah of the late XIX Century- who ignited, in the ...

Latin American modern classic
Bizarre imagery, sure to astound. No need for caffeine. This is a waker-upper. Highly recommended for lovers of the avant-garde. Giannina Braschi is in a league of her own.

David Trueba

One of the best books I've read
Ignore the critics and read the book. Trueba put with the perfect words feelings and memories of normal guys. It's a Matrix-pill that makes you think and put things in prospective. Once again, just read it. I gave it 5 starts for realism and effectiveness.

Me faltan estrellas
Al principio, este libro me pareció difícil de seguir, y hasta un poco aburrido. Mi primera impresión es que el autor se iba por la tangente que daba gusto. Pero seguí leyendo y al poco me di cuenta de que de tangentes nada. Este libro es como un gran concierto de pensamientos, los cuales todos se centran en un punto común. Esas tangencias o periferias están diseñadas con tal habilidad que ...

Pedro Juan Gutierrez
Editorial Anagrama

Raw, crude, unnerving but funny and poetic at the same time
Great read, I wouldn't know how to start describing it, I just know that I liked it. His prose is full of sex, misery, rum, hunger and dirt, with the constant presence of women and the ocean. A desperate cry into the hopelessness of those who lived in Cuba during the early "Special Period" of the nineties. The story of a renegade cuban journalist, and an insight into his own hell and that of ...

A first-rate addition to Saramago's works
I hated to see the remaining pages of "Essay on Lucidity" dwindle, so much did I enjoy reading every word of Saramago's latest novel. This is a first-rate addition to the upper tier of Saramago's works. In the Nov. 8, 2004, issue of "The American Conservative" magazine, the managing editor, Kara Hopkins, advocated not voting in the pending presidential election. "Silence is a profound ...

Manuel Puig's Unrecognized Masterpiece
The tale of "Heartbreak Tango" is a captivating web spun out of the spider-threads of the inhabitants' lives in a small Argentinian town. Touching, humerous, and filled with the sadness of human emotional attachments, Puig has created a magnificent look into the life of a veritable "Don Juan." An extremely good read!

excelente obra para iniciar a Cortázar
Bestiario Estos relatos de Cortázar, nos muestran la voz que en un futuro usaría el autor para sus subsiguientes trabajos. En estos cuentos la fantasía nos invade y nos arrastra como en carta a una señorita en París o somos vistos por malos ojos por no estar en su mundo como en ómnibus; o nuestra casa es invadida lentamente por fantasmas como en casa tomada. Cuando leo no me gusta hacer ...
Antologia de la Literatura Fantastica/ Anthology of Fantastic Literature (Narrativa / Narrative)

A wonderful experience...
"Antología de la literatura fantástica" delivers exactly what the title promises: a selection of short stories with something in common, fantasy. But what is "fantasy"?. The dictionary says that it is "fiction characterized by highly fanciful or supernatural elements", but I think that it is also literature that amazes and bewilders us, freeing the reader from reality and introducing him to other ...
