I am a high school student and I read La Casa Embrujada as an extra credit assignment. The humor may be a little dry, but all around this is a nice book for high school students to read. In my spanish 3 class we are assigned to read Marianela, and let me tell you this book is sooooo much better (and easier to understand) than Marianela. I have read the preceeding book to La Casa Embrujada, entitled El Secuestrador. I enjoyed reading that book as well. I would reccomend this book to all spanish students that enjoy reading spanish literature.

Contrary from what I have seen in other reviews, this book is decent. I found it not laugh-out-loud, rolling-on-the-floor funny, but still pretty funny. I too am in Spanish 3 and am in High School, yet I didn't find this book too difficult to read; I managed to enjoy the book. It seems to me that the reviewer who wasn't able to understand a "comic mystery for intermediate students" might not in fact be an intermediate student.

La casa embrujada is the coolest and best spanish book I ever read. It rules!!! The characters are funny and the book is hilarious. The book is very comical, awesome, and educational. I would recommend it to any spanish-book reader. Panzon and Pepino are classic. You would be a fool not to read this neat book.

We had to read this book for our spanish class in high school. I thought it was horrible. The plot seemed like it was written by a 6 year old and the ending was very very predictable. If your a 6 year old then this is the book for you but otherwise dont force your high school students to read this book.

Probably the best of the series, since Pepino's actually semi-intelligent in it and solves it through a bit of skill. The others in the series are just a lot more corny and predictable. Very reminiscent of Inspector Clouseau from Pink Panther; incredibly arrogant while often bumbling his way to the answer, along with his sidekick Panzon who likes to eat all the time. Great way to learn and practice Spanish!

This isn't worth more than $5...but it's a OK book, even though it is like 50 pages.

The book is terrible. The translation is too hard for high school students to comprehend. The plot is decent but the comic relief is not very funny at all. Find another book for your spanish class because this one is one of the worst iv'e seen.
