4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and fun!, August 27, 2003

This book really hits home for anyone who has ever suffered through the early years of post-collegiate, young adulthood. From New York to Philly and back again, through apartment mishaps and dating disasters, between Catholic school and a first job, this book is hilarious and easy to read. I think that most twentysomethings will be able to relate to most of the anecdotes in this book, and will enjoy Ms Lopez's engaging and witty writing style.

This review is from: Finding Francis (Paperback)

I just finished reading "Finding Francis" by Cristina Lopez. It was a very enjoyable book written in such a way that you don't want to put it down and you could very well finish it in one night. The quest for finding a lost friend results in the finding of oneself makes the reader reflect on their own life and accomplishments. At the same time, it makes you think of all the people who influenced your life from the time you can remember until the present.
I highly recommend this book. Ms. Lopez is a fine writer and I look forward to her next book. You've made me a fan for life (even though I was a fan beforehand)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetics Without Pretense, March 13, 2004

Lopez takes the reader on a journey through time, cityscapes and mood-swings while seamlessly and poetically tying it all together. Her humility, honesty, humor and motivation make room for both hysterical cynicism and profound awakenings. Though this is the story of a girl in her twenties, her wisdom and revelations make her seem much older. I'd love to run into her during happy hour someday.
