In a hundred and twenty pages or less. No doubt You are reading the best spanish language writer of past century. So they all said. Rulfo, the legend. "

"Am a fan of the big O. This has to see with him having to flee away from this spanish region country due to his yet trostskysm belief.Is also a tribute to men at war mixed with his disenchantment about Communism."

"There again extremely original and lucid, cold book with a hard plot. A wild beauty and good analysis of human relations, also. An action book too. About war, drugs, corruption and crime almost all time. No police however. For happens in the old Yugoeslavia last war days. Written by a young women lawyer, surely she knew some of what she wrote. Echoes of reality cases splits it."

And keeps on and on.But is nothing more than a common man, after all. So...Astounding and original plot of whom is already a classic.Selby at his very best."

"A unique, milestone of nihilism of a miterious author who thougt one should try everything in this life. Although cocaine has not much to see with plot. Again a rare beauty lying in this case under the uncertainty of a vanishing world and the unknown incoming new one. Love story too? "

"One has to enter in the monsters mind sometimes and this one was likely the biggest one until nowadays. You can so, check again the banality of the psycho, genocides as big as this one, this time.

"One of the smartest and true free association analysis of the truth behind the seventies and eighties author movies generation, ever written. Do not miss it. If wanting to know how they really worked, were and lived. You'll find them all here, Coppola, Schrader, Scorsese, even Cimino a bit and their actors and actresses too. Excellent."

"Having to write about the Dostoyevsky genius is a bit too much. Here You'll be facing a group of so called anarchists as it may seem they were in the old days. Wierd homeless trying to conspirate about nothing, would i say. So as a bad joke trying to go somewhere, it all starts. And in a lost drift it follows, would say northless. The trial scene itself counts among the most funny pages one has ever read. But there is a lot of funny things let say thrown all 'round the book. Still very real, at same time. Somehow patethic too, You may find yourself thinking, oh, no, oh, my, poor fellows and so on. So it goes though not all is funny, that's clear. And that it's going to lead somewhere is clear too. And will leave it here. It was Camus favorite Dostoyevsky's book. And he knew a lot the master. So...read it and answer me, please, just a band of jerks? "

"Because found it devious. And this nuance, coming from a Classic author interested me. It answered my expectations. Started reading James, from then on. A very good author, he is. Or should one say of what's not said and has to be over understood? Careful, stylish writer. Everything is measured. Has several good works. As "The Bostonians", "The Europeans", the one James Ivory turned into a movie ...you can't miss him, that's all."

"Great. Charming Masterwork as it is considered. Though being more famous A Passage to India, think. This average class member (the only one in the Bloomsbury circle being no more than a public administration official or clerk don't remember now)wrote some of the best english literature. Or so was i told. In this case it goes about the selling or not of a family beloved or disputed house, let's say. Howard's End is its name.Deals about love, family and what a house can mean. As a symbol. And won't say more. Do not search for action in this Forster book, though there is. But Arno's View or this one, may not be the best sample of his action rythm. In that sense, yes, A Passage to India is the one to read. And that and what contains may explain the success it had as the bit of a scandal, it arose, as well. "

"A real Master Work in Spanish Poetry. Some of the more beautiful poetries ever written has been and stills one of the great best seller poetry works this time, totally justified. With Baudelaire, Cernuda, Salinas, R.Frost, E.Dickynson and others, Neruda stands with this little piece of Art one the greater poets of all times."
