This was undoubtedly the silliest book I’ve ever allowed myself to read.

Summer reading at it’s best.

I simply loved this book. I read it in two sittings. It’s an every day story, the engulfment of western lifestyle and how apathetic we become, even when faced with the worst. The main character is impossible to like, but she is definitely a memorable one.

Weary of every single help book out there, I was intrigued by this because my sister (who is also weary of them) read it and for the first time in her life she was capable of tolerating the stress in her life. It’s a good summary of all the major eastern disciplines broken down into a comprehensible language. Some things are easy to apply, others are simply crazy, but overall it’s not completely far fetched.

Sordid, sad, shocking. When you walk the streets of Colombia through the pages of this book, it’s like you yourself become the assasin, you are the one killing the people who deserve death, or don’t, the people that annoy you, the people who don’t have a sense of humor or have too much and among all of them, the killing of Colombia, a country long gone, where the FARC’s, the drug lords and the criminals have completely

exterminated peace all together.

It has been quite educational, very honest and straighforward, with the cutness and ugliness that we all have.

Just the final scene makes your money worth. Even though the story is predictable, the performances are breathtaking. Watching a foreign film always breaks the monotony of theme recycling on american films.

Can they be more sublime?

Can somebody explain to me why, oh why the editor did not chop off 150 pages off this book? So far none of what I’ve read is necessary. I’ve been hauling this book for months and I can’t read more than a page at a time. However I’m giving it a chance, I’m sure it must own up to the hype it made, but so it has been snobbish unnecesary babble.

Such a waste of time and good writing. There were brilliant paragraphs, there were brilliant ideas and dialogues.. but there was no story.

I had to stop. Life is too short to digest hundreds of pages of babble.

If you’re not into Stephen King at the beach or any of those suspense novels, this is a good option. It’s a nice story.. but the ending was straight out of “happily ever after” book.
