Maria-Sofia dice "Excelencia inolvidable" - By: Dr. SIMON AB BUDGEN, 10 Mar 2008 
De parte de mi hija, Maria-Sofia, disfruto muchisimo del nuevo mundo de Las Amazonas. La riqueza del lenguaje, la serie de imagenes inspira un mundo alcanzable. Ojala que sera para la proxima generacion. La ciudad de Las Bestias introduzca a la generacion joven de los problemas sociales y el conflicto del mundo indigeno con las presiones y gula del occidente. El encanto de los anmales y mitologia de los simbolos quedan implantados en la mente. Ya estamos listos por ir a Butan.

A Mind Bending Amazonian Fantasy - By: Timothy Hooper, 17 Oct 2005 
Firstly, this is a children's book but none the less appealing for adults. Fans of Allendes's 'adult' writing will be surprised at the terseness of the porose style - nothing is alllowed to get in the way of the plot, which rips along at a breathtaking pace. However, there are interludes of pure magical invention which trip the reader up & invert alll your pre-conceptions. The characters are vividly drawn & likeable; & with a clever twist at the end of the story, it's a perfect book to fill the gap for 14 - 16 year olds. Plus you can borrow it after them!
Read this!!!!!!! - By: , 01 Oct 2005 This is my favourite book ever, & I've read thousands. I read this a few years ago when I was 13 & nothing has topped it since, except maybe its sequels. Everytime I re-read it I love it even more. It genuinely is brilliant, & you get completely lost in the far-off worlds & ideas. The imagery is just too beautiful. It's a book you can get totallly lost in- I remember finishing a chapter, looking up & being momentarily surprised that there wasn't a tropical rainstorm outside! Seriously: if you're only going to read one book in your life, this is it. Everyone must read it, it's pure magic through & through.
City of the Beasts - By: highlanddancer7, 04 Apr 2005 
I didn't particularly like the opening of this book & was tempted to stop reading but I'm glad I persevered as it improved dramaticallly after the first couple of chapters. Most of the characters were very likeable & the plot was beleivable for the most part. I did find that it became a bit monotonous towards the end but on the whole it was a very original & well told story.
