A Great Story

This book made my Jorge Amado my favorite writer, ever. He is such a great story teller, and this story really moved along with a great cast of characters. I don't know anyone else who quite captures his style. He has little asides to the reader in it, and he is quite hilarious. This book was over 650 pages long and I was truly sorry to see it end! Just wish they'd make it a movie...

Great reading

Out of any doubt, one of the best latinoamerican novel. It`s beutiful, unforgetable, merely a big pleasure read this master piece. Politics, Poetry, Sex, brasilian landscape, an many another subjects are here. You wont regret of buying this book.Jorge Amado`s reading is a kind of happiness.

This book is awesome, a must read.

This was the first Amado book I read and it is problably the best to start with. The book combines both political commentary, comedy and sex in a way that you will be glued to the book from beginning to end. Also a feature of this book which makes it extra interesting is how the author stops the book and talks to you, it is as if he were right in front of you. It makes the books so personal and even better. If you like this book or Jorge Amado, please email me.
