    <body><![CDATA[I absolutely love this book!  Certainly no happy ending or ending at all, for that matter.  Not a whole lot of hope contained within these pages, but that makes it kind of refreshing.  If you have seen, and appreciate, H.C Westerman's Death Ship artwork, then this is the book for you.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Upon learning that everyone in my family had read this book years ago and still vividly remembered it, I decided to read it myself. Just started, but already it's been darkly comic and realistic and I'm eagerly reading. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[B. Traven's masterwork, far better than &quot;Treasure of the Sierra Madre&quot;; brilliant, subversive, hilarious, unpredictable, and amazingly well-written.  The equal of anything from its era.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an amazing book. Tragic and hilarious. If you haven't read it, rent a hotel, pick up a copy and don't leave till you've finished and the floor is covered in 4 inches of water.]]></body>
