Customer Reviews

Very, very funny

Eduardo Mendoza is overlooked as a significant Spanish author. This book is a great read - if you want to laugh out loud, pick this book up - you will not be disappointed and then read the rest of his translated novels.

A really funny book (at least in Spanish and for Spaniards)

A small book that takes very little time to be read...except for the (many) times you'll stop to laugh out loud. At least that's what happened with the tenths of people to which I gave this book as a present. My only concern is: will the fun be lost in translation, or depend too much on aspects that are familiar to Spaniards but maybe not to foreigners? I highly recommend most of Mendoza's books, some which are also very funny (Misterio de la Cripta Embrujada) and other more serious, with very interesting style and approach (La verdad sobre el caso Savolta), all of them with interesting views of Barcelona and its society as a background.

Amazingly funny

As a foreigner who has lived in Barcelona, this book was the most critical, humorous, and witty outlook on the average Catalan, and the average human. By far one of the funniest books I have read, and a brilliant piece of literature.

¿Qué hacer si te saltan los ojos en medio de Barcelona?

Divertido, ameno... hora a hora, minuto a minuto, Gurb sigue sin aparecer, pero !qué buenos están los churros!El libro que todo extranjero en Barcelona debería leer (sobretodo si es su primera visita a la Tierra).

Originalidad

Si quieres reírte éste es tu libro. El libro más gracioso que he leído en toda mi vida.Algo impresionante
