Rimmert Breeuwsma rimmertba2a6 — This was so good!

Lucero Mazo luzmazo — I like Isabel Allende: I think she's fiesty, funny and a very eloquent when I heard that she hadn't written a book about sustainability issues, I was very excited. However, I admit that I read this book because it was recommended to me by a friend who described it as 'unputdownable'. I disagree. The language was far simpler than you would expect from an Allende novel but as the book is aimed at teenager readers this is not unexpected. You would expect the story, however, to be gripping and well developed. For me this was where the book was lacking. We follow the somewhat nerdy Alexander (a naive 15 year old flute player with anger management issues... do all children nowadays have anger management issues?) as he accompanies his grandmother (a famous social anthropologist) on an exhibition to the Amazon. Once there he encounters all kinds of adventures with 'the people of the mist': an indigenous tribe. I must admit I didn't follow a lot of what was going on (partly because I wasnt paying attention). I couldn't work out where all the mythical things fitted in with the plot. This might have been an excellent use of symbolism by Allende of modern societies inability to fully understand the lives of other cultures. Something tells me it probably wasn't. Too much time was spent on Alexander's personal journey and the last 50 pages (of a 400 page book) was where Allende packs in all of her critiques of modern society. It felt like a checklist. It was too much. I am loathe to slate the book- I was not it's audience- and perhaps 12 year olds love it. I'm not sure they would understand the subtlety of Allende's critique but perhaps I am underestimating the average 12 year old. One thing is for certain, it's no Harry Potter.

Anton Popov anton_popov — reminds me how I should read "Smila's sense of snow" again. ALos glad I own this because I will have to listen to it again for sure to catch his great writing!! Makes me wish I knew more about music too.

Reema Ghassab _eema_ — Was sorry that manifesto of enjoying oneself had to end in such a boring way and of course that it was so fueled by booze. Some laughs to be had, but not a book i recommend

Thiago Monteiro borisandcrispin — my first Tom Robbins, and a wonderful introduction to his work. Now, if I were only a redhead . . .

Edmund Mamaril edmundmamaril — good points : characters are all well-developed. bad points : the author seems to have a little trouble with the narrative. as well, the details can be a bit excessive and arduous sometimes.

Samuel Gagnon samgagnon — Can very much see the story stretcher options. Prepositional phrases galore!
