5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful Reading Experience
The Lazarus Rumba is written gorgeously, and the story is at times sweet, sad, passionate, magical. It's a beautiful reading experience.

A Brilliant Balloon With the Air Let Out.
I would have given this book five stars, because the first two major sections were brilliant... among the best of the literature I've read. Then Triste had to take up a lot of the third book, and I cheated on the book and started reading something else. This dropping of the book is going to bother me for a while... I highly recommend this book to other readers,...

A Brilliant Balloon With the Air Let Out.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lazarus Rumba (Hardcover)
I would have given this book five stars, because the first two major sections were brilliant... among the best of the literature I've read. Then Triste had to take up a lot of the third book, and I cheated on the book and started reading something else. This dropping of the book is going to bother me for a while... I highly recommend this book to other readers, especially those interested in the Cuban lifestyle, however, you must pretend that the book ends at the second part... even if the web involving Alicia and Julio Cesar Cruz is not resolved... or else skip Triste's tiring monologue.

A remarkable enthralling novel.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lazarus Rumba (Hardcover)
Forget those comparisions to Garcia-Marquez, Mr. Mestre's achievement is his and his alone. A beautiful, tragic, wonderful book that should be cherished for years to come. I can't wait for his next one.
