10/06/12 Interview on Cuba with Silvio Canto Jr. Author's Interview on Cubanarama Radio!!! Reader Reviews* * * * * CUBA LIBRE
By El Rayo (Southern California) "An excellent read. A real time insight into modern day Cuba. Only the canucks go to Cuba for vacation and this author has for sure spent some time there. Good description of the culture, music, food, dance, politics,women, night life and rum. Also a sad commentary on the deterioration of this once beautiful island. A good suspense novel with a super twist at the end." * * * * A trip through Cuba By Andrea Whyte (Ontario, California) - This is not really my usual type of book but I must say I did enjoy it. It's more actiony and man things than I usually read, but it was a good quick read. I liked the descriptions of places and people in Cuba. I can recommend this. * * * * * Swept Away By D. Spillman (San Francisco, CA) - I did not have great expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised to find myself "swept away" in time and place, barreling along in page-turning frenzy to the end. A tight and twisting plot......with the action kinda like a roller coaster ride......peppered with historical references; people, places, events, well lubricated with rum and Cohiba-smoking and that irrepressible vitality that endears Cuba and it's people to our imagination and hearts long after any economic relevance........for me on a par with the lure of Tango and Buenos Aires. Plays nicely with other books I've read about Cuba; notably "Cuba and the Night" and "Havana Nocturne". All in all very good fun and a nice diversion if you're looking for one. * * * * * Mojito! is A+ By bronx52 If you are interested in Cuba and like a good mystery then this book is for you. I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr French has managed to inject important history lessons without making them burdensome, as well as educating those of us from the US on some interesting points from our friendly neighbor to the North: Canada! (anyone who has attended public school will get the reference!) It is clear the author has a love for Cuba and the Cuban people! The plot is interesting and the story flows....do get this book. A fun read! |
