Actually good pocket biography; didn't go into the detail of regular biographies but well written and gave me a bigger glimpse into Argentian history without having to read 500 pages. So good introductory and good value.

Brief overview, with little detail. Reasonable introductory text.

Very interesting, and I really wanted to know more about Evita after watching the amazing musical. It was a very good book, but there was also quite a bit of bad grammar, which was annoying.
Eva was an amazing woman.

This book is a decent overview, nothing much to note there. I just wanted to say that both Eva and Juan lived a real life soap opera, and after I finished this book I found myself question if what I read was actually fiction instead. They were insane. That is all.
