4.0 out of 5 stars At last someone who points at the "idiots" that lead us, May 19, 2007

This review is from: El regreso del idiota (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I loved this book. It's "in your face" and fun style makes it a very easy to read book. Its message is one that Latin-American desperately needs to spread. Finally someone points out, one by one, "the idiots" and their "idiot acts" (our presidents and their populist policies)

The author does an in-depth review of the errors in which Latin-American presidents are incurring. He does a good job of integrating easy-to-understand economic indicators, contrasting geographies and historic periods.

When I read the part on Chavez (the main target of these "idiot-seekers") it shocked me how accurate the information was, and how clear authors portray it. I've lived in Venezuela until 2 months ago (had to emigrate due to the increasing communist environment).

I gave it 4 stars as it is not particularly my ideal writing style (long phrases and repetitive paragraph)

5.0 out of 5 stars Un "must" para todos aquellos que se interesan por entender a Latinoamérica, October 17, 2007

By 

R. Weber (Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: El regreso del idiota (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Un libro muy acertado, salpicado de fino humor y un extraordinario manejo del idioma. Definitivamente recomendable para los no idiotas y para aquellos que deseen curarse de ese mal que tanto daño le ha hecho a nuestros países. Acertadísimas las descripciones de nuestros mandatarios tropicales y una lástima que no se ocuparon más de temas como la guerrilla colombiana, tan defendida en estos días por los idiotas de turno.
