"El desorden de tu nombre" is a good read, thought provoking, good comentary on the state of the contemporary mind, and universal. If you are a North American and you think that only the French and the English speaking have neurotic mindsets and affinities for worrying themselves to a frazzle over who we 'are', then this novela will be a surprise. It's the first contemporary Spanish novel I've read and I'll be reading more from this series. It's good intermediate to advanced Spanish reading; so much better than reading Spanish translations of American novels.

As I'm spanish, I won't use english. Este es uno de los libros de este autor que más me ha gustado. Tambien he leído "tonto, muerto, bastardo e invisible", "Letra muerta" y "Papel mojado", y creo que este es una de los más destacables. No solo es la historia (no del todo original, lo admito), sino la forma de contarla, la forma de combinar realidad y ficción, la forma que tiene este autor de a partir de un hecho que todo pensamos normal crea una ficción que sobrepasa los límites. Además, uno de los grandes atractivos del libro son sus relatos. Este autor nació para ello, y se puede observar claramente en el libro. Sinceramente, disfruté mucho leyéndolo, y es una de los libros que recomiendo a todo el que me pide consejo. Espero que lo disfrutéis tanto como yo.

Increiblemente creativo, divertido y a la vez profundo. Uno de los mejores escritores actuales en castellano.

Someone commented that these novels were written for children. I've read about 8 of these little books, and they are not written for children, even the level 1 books. The book is simple enough to read, but one or two sentence structures took time to decipher. I find it interesting how the author use or "misuse" of an direct object was intentionally left in by the editor, but they made a comment for the student's benefit.

I have read "Ella Imagina" and "Tonto, muerto, bastardo e invisible" and this last one "El desorden de tu nombre" was a real dissappointment. It is easilly read, but it is a very predictable book.
