Ficcionario: Una Antologia De Sus Textos (Spanish Edition)69 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges
Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 2000
Borges is the original Neo (The Matrix)
Transport the Wachowski brothers to the 1930's and ask them to express their philosophy by way of short stories. You might get something in the same ballpark as Ficciones. The diversity and genius of Borges' work is so unique that if you were to know all the languages in the world and had no word limit, it would still be hard to do a review that does justice. Ironically, this is exactly the kind ...

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns And Prepositions72 reviews
Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1998
Comprehensive and Easy to Read
I am very pleased with the book. Basically I am a "self-learner' of the Spanish language. As such I find the book to be comprehensive, yet thorough and easy to read and understand. The Practice Makes Perfect series of books on the Spanish language is a great set of books for some one like me.

La invasión (The Invasion) (Animorphs #1)173 reviews
K. A. Applegate
Scholastic, 1999
Excellent series
Note: This review pertains to the entire Animorphs series, rather than this specific book.
When I read most of the Animorph books several years ago, I thought it was very suspenseful and entertaining.
Now, as I look back, it seems that these books, although targeted at 4th-6th graders, have suprising depth, with often tenebrous themes concerning free will, sentimentalism, and morality.

plaza & janes, 1994
VERY overdue for an updated translation
No, there's no need whatsoever for some poor sod to re-translate the whole book! It still reads beautifully. But, and this is a BIG but, the translation is, today, WAY TOO TAME. The quaint, oblique, charming English expletives he employs now badly interfere with the book's mood and thrillingly immediate, rough flavour. He translated this book way back in 1969; even the English aren't so delicate ...

Wonderful, charming, memorable
I read this book to my daughter from the time she was one; she is now six. Now she gets a thrill out of reading it herself. My son is two years old; he is also eager for story time, and it is also one of his first picks. The kids love exploring the illustrations, and each time noticing something new. As a mother, I enjoyed reading this book to my children. It is wonderful, charming and ...

Perfect Train Book for Preschoolers
Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby
Bold artwork and simple text combine to offer an outstanding introduction to trains for young children. There are only a few words on each page, making it a quick read-aloud that will hold the attention of even very young toddlers. The text describes the different types of cars in a freight train, then follows the train through tunnels, ...

A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish42 reviews
John Butt

Emerged from the pack as my favorite
Even as a beginner in spanish, studying mostly at home with books and digital files (Learning Spanish Like Crazy and Rocket Spanish) and occasional visits to a local spanish tutor -- I have found this book to be my best source for grammar clarification.
I purchased about 5 grammar books. My other favorites were actually workbooks rather than reference sources -- likely to diminish in ...

The Classic ...
This is "the" absolute classic for Puerto Rican cuisine. The recipes are very precise and easy to follow. The hardest part is to find the ingredients in the USA ! I tried the beef stew and came out exceptionally good ! My wife is from Ecuador and she uses it to prepare authentic Puerto Rican dishes for me. Highly recommended.
