Getting old bites and tickles

David Trueba pictures the (almost plausible) last trip of 4 Spanish friends before entering maturity in a rather harsh way. FUNNY AS HELL, the story speeds up through laughter, dreams, pains, errors, dreamy adventures... and a whole lot of vacational bumps. Even though David pictures (with eerie perfection) the life attitudes of mid-90's Spanish youngsters, you will not be dissapointed if you are not from Spain yourself: after all, we are not THAT different! P.S. As opposite to this one, you may well skip his first book "Open all night".

fantastic, wonderful, real...

This is one of the books that have most impressed me ever. This book is a collection of humor, credible(realistic) stories, a protagonists's deep background and, the most important for me, how the author tells us the wole story.Despite the teen scene, in this book you can see what happens in the protagonist's mind and the teen scene is only a situation in the story. This book tells us the feeling, thinks and protagonist evolution.Resuming: is an orgy of laughs in a too real scene, too real proganonists,too real mind and has really it has content. The book allawys is telling us someting. Excuse me for my english...Spanish version:Éste es uno de los libros que más me ha impresionado. Éste libro es un conjunto de humor, una historia creible, una gran profundidad en los personajes tanto en trasfondo como en escena y, para mi lo más importante, cómo el autor nos transmite ese flujo de experiencias, sensaciones y pensamientos.Sin tener en cuenta el ambiente juvenil de la novela, ésta nos muestra los sentimientos, pasiones y evolución de uno mismo.Resumiendo: es una orgia de carcajadas en un entorno demasiado real, con protagonistas demasiado reales, con pensamientos demasiado reales y, lo más importante, éste libro tiene contenido. Siempre te está diciendo algo Thanks / Grácias

One of the best books I've read

Ignore the critics and read the book. Trueba put with the perfect words feelings and memories of normal guys. It's a Matrix-pill that makes you think and put things in prospective. Once again, just read it.I gave it 5 starts for realism and effectiveness.
