I'm a Colombian living in Montreal Canada, and I just wanted to buy a book that showed the life of Colombia. But this book doesn't show the real life of Colombia. Is not an objective book. It doesn't tells the complete overview or the truth. It just gives a small and uncomplete idea of the rural and most poor parts or places of Colombia. And it doesn't reflects at all, the real life of Colombian People. The book excludes completely all the beautiful major cities, the normal style of life of the metropolitan areas or the urban life style. It excludes all the modern and technological side of the country. In the hole book, you can't find a photograph of BOGOTA D.C., the capital city!! or Medellin city, another major and pretty city. There are no photos of any University, or a famous shopping mall. The book only shows the most poor, undeveloped and sad views of Colombia. I know that Colombia as, any other South American country, has many economic and social problems. But is not a 100% poor country, with only jungles, and no cities, no schools, no universities, no malls, no world trade centers, no big buildings or important constructions or no technology. I just waste my money!!! This is NOT Colombian life. Don't buy this book. This doesn't deserves even 1 star. I give a rate of 0 stars.

Beautiful book and the pictures inside are awesome!!! It shows pretty locations from Colombia. The editors are very well known in Colombia, so I totally recommend the book and the seller.
