Summary: Exemplifies profound entertainment
Comment: This book is a rare find in that it manages to evoke laughter and heartache. It can be read as a light romp, but upon reflection, the reader will almost certainly recognize and perhaps confront some of the human condition's recurring quandries in Montero's characters. Readers will connect with the self- discovery and evolution of the main character, regardless of gender. Prepare to laugh out loud and weep with this one.

Summary: Sensational!
Comment: This book was actually assigned reading for a modern Spanish literature class I took in college; I liked it so much I have re-read it twice since. The story alternates between two narratives of the protagonist Lucia: the memoir Lucia is writing about the week before the premiere of the first movie she directed, and the journal she is writing 30 years later as she lies in the hospital with an undiagnosed illness. The way it is written, however, both narratives feel like present day stories. Montero's conversational writing style makes her very easy to read, even with the switches in narrative and with Lucia's philosophical commentaries on love, relationships, and death. It is both entertaining and mildly thought-provoking. Enjoy!
