Isabel Allende's book "The Sum Of Our Days" bring both extraordinary insight and what I consider thoughtful availability to her memoir that touched me deeply. I got to "be" a part of her story, her family...it was truly intimate. Her conversations and storytelling throughout the book, with her deceased daughter Paula, are both beautiful and haunting. Watching through Isabel's eyes, her ...             City of the Beasts92 reviews Isabel Allende Rayo, 2004 City of The Beasts City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende in my opinion was a pretty good book. Even though there are some slow parts, most of the book is full of action and adventure. I like this book because you can't predict what will happen and it makes you want to keep reading. I would recomend this book to people who like adventure and fantasy and people over the age of 12. It can be hard to understand at ...             Imagining Ourselves: Global Voices from a New Generation of Women10 reviews New World Library, 2006 My friend, and all that... My friend, who dropped by my office to take me out for dinner, saw the Imagining Ourselves book on my desk. "What's this?" she asked. "I just got it from Amazon, take a look" I said. "I don't think I'm gonna like it", she said, "all these books about women empowerment and all, I never connect with all this." My friend is a scientist. With her PhD in biology, working at an Ivy League university ...             La suma de Los Dias8 reviews Isabel Allende Sudamericana, 2007 La Suma de los Dias- A review If you dreamt about meeting Isabel, look no further! Her book is warm and realistic. There is no need to try to imagine how she is in real life because the book allows you to meet her in the most profound way. With her extraordinary writing Isabel becomes your best friend, mother, daughter, son, or as she calls it "a member of her tribe". I am looking forward to her next book and wonder, what ...             The House of the Spirits271 reviews Isabel Allende Bantam, 1986 men can read this too At first, I never wanted to pick this up. It had its deterrents: the cover with its colorful depiction of strong-willed women, the concise summarization on the opposite side of the cover, making it seem like a sweeping love affair, something Fabio might pose for, and the dedication of the book. The dedication reads "To my mother, my grandmother, and all the other extraordinary women of this ...             Paula107 reviews Isabel Allende Plaza & Janes S.A.,Spain Devastatingly Beautiful When Isabel Allende's daughter suffered a calamatous illness, Allende did what came naturally. She wrote a story. On its most basic level, this book is about a mother who is losing her child. She goes through the stages of grieving, sometimes even arguing with herself on the pages about what might come next. It goes much deeper, though. There is a point in the book when it seems she has ...             Daughter of Fortune: A Novel (P.S.)12 reviews Isabel Allende Harper Perennial, 2006 Another Masterpiece from Allende I read one of Isabel Allende's novels for a high school English class, and I never imagined that she would become one of my favorite authors. Her writing style is so detailed and engrossing that you cannot help but feel completely immersed in the world she has created. The characters are so dynamic and easy to relate to as Allende details their struggles and emotions with expertly chosen words ...             Ines del Alma Mia34 reviews Isabel Allende FonoLibro Inc., 2007 La mejor novela que he leido en los ultimos tiempos!

Five stars!             Cuentos De Eva Luna / the Stories of Eva Luna16 reviews Isabel Allende Sudamericana, 1990 She Writes With Magic Ink What a collection of characters! An illiterate woman who sells words. A man obsessed with a little girl. A woman whose marriage was based on letters written by the wrong man. A woman who spends her life waiting for revenge. A rich man who keeps a girl prisoner. Rascals trying to break into society. A lonely dictator. Invisible Indians. Every character is flawed in some terrible way, and yet, ...             The House of the Spirits11 reviews Isabel Allende Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2005 A book you will read over and over again... This was the first Isabel Allende book I ever read. I first read it as a young girl, and since that time I have read it over again countless times. What amazes me most is that it still has the ability to transport me to another place another time. The language is beautiful and often poetic, and the charecters are real. I grew up surrounded by hispanic culture and Allende captures the ...             Stories of Eva Luna18 reviews Isabel Allende Charles Scribner's Sons, 1991 A Masterpiece Isabela Allende's "The Stories of Eva Luna" is truely a masterpiece not only in its origional Spanish edition, but also in this English translation, which fully gives the reader a feel for Allende's tone. Each story is consice, yet powerful and filled with allusions to everyday life. Allende covers a wide range of topics from politics and the story of Eva Peron (in "Two Words") to the complexity ...             Eva Luna38 reviews Isabel Allende Bantam, 1989 Allende Rocks I love Allende's characters and her writing. Zorro was my first read of hers and I have purchased everything. I get very involved in the story and characters. Her trilogy for kids is in my library and is checked out all of the time. Good writing is good writing.             Forest of the Pygmies7 reviews Isabel Allende Harper Perennial, 2005 Absolutely great characters who achieve hero status Isabel Allende CAN WRITE. This series of three tales in the lives of two young heroes who travel to three exotic lands. Should keep most teenagers reading for the pure enjoyment of watching the young American boy and the young South American girl come of age through challenges that test their hearts and minds. Always there is one foot in the physical world, and the other in the metaphysical ...             De Amor y de Sombra9 reviews Isabel Allende Rayo, 1995 One of Allende's Best This is the story of a reporter and a photographer investigating a terrible crime. Isabel Allende is a wonderful writer and this book proves it. Spellbinding and moving, this book is one of Allende's best. The language she uses is rich and the trama extremely interesting.             Diez Cuentos De Eva Luna Con Guia De Comprension Y Repaso De Gramatica1 review Isabel Allende McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1994 Grammar and literature Grammar is always a difficult and arid subject when somebody is not a lover of grammar. And they are really few. This book is a beatiful solution to teach spanish as a foreingn language or simply as a self-study book. Allende is always fresh in her writing. As a chilean woman and a citizen of the world she knows how to translate her feelings, thoughts and her own experience into words. In ...             Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses39 reviews Isabel Allende Harper Perennial, 1999 This memoir hits the spot ! I have read this book in installments. Why? Because I knew my mother would have a fit if she knew I had read it. Lusty, juicy, it's wonderful education for a curious young lady like me.             Of Love and Shadows26 reviews Isabel Allende Bantam, 1988 Not magical realism but Greek tragedy I loved this book. I think a lot of the low ratings are from people who are disappointed because they were expecting a magical realist novel. Allende's first novel, "The House of the Spirits," is a wonderful example of magical realism, but this is a completely different beast. While it contains a handful of supernatural events, most of them are one-liners, which I suspect may be throw-away ...              search for books amor, aphrodite, beasts, comprension, cuentos, daughter, days, forest, fortune, generation, global, gramatica, guia, house, imagining, memoir, novel, ourselves, paula, pygmies, repaso, senses, shadows, sombra, spirits, stories, suma, voices, women, zorro books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
