What a stupid review!
That was stupid... clearly that woman didnt read the book all the way through. It is an amazing book with wonderful stories about the daily life of living in Cuba. This book tells it like it is... Cuba is a beautiful place that is stuck in a 1950's time zone... wondeful details... to the reviewer before me... re-read it again when you are not PMSing and perhaps you'll...

Of the 35 stories presented in this book, 29 are penned by male writers, leaving female readers choking on moped fumes as these stories are an endless re-telling of Cuban car & motorcycle mechanics in excrutiating detail.

What a stupid review!,
This review is from: Travelers' Tales Cuba: True Stories (Paperback)
That was stupid... clearly that woman didnt read the book all the way through. It is an amazing book with wonderful stories about the daily life of living in Cuba. This book tells it like it is... Cuba is a beautiful place that is stuck in a 1950's time zone... wondeful details... to the reviewer before me... re-read it again when you are not PMSing and perhaps you'll feel different.
Great book... 5 *

This review is from: Travelers' Tales Cuba: True Stories (Paperback)
Of the 35 stories presented in this book, 29 are penned by male writers, leaving female readers choking on moped fumes as these stories are an endless re-telling of Cuban car & motorcycle mechanics in excrutiating detail. Broken up only by tales of fishing, baseball & (mostly married) men titillated by $20 Cuban hookers or smitten by young Cuban senorita stereotypes, this book reads like a slow walk through a pool hall filled with pot-bellied, balding men puffing on cigars & slapping each other on the back as they pump out tall tales about all the fish (& women) they've caught. Cuba as the setting is only incidental.
