5.0 out of 5 stars Brodie, September 25, 2008
This review is from: El informe de Brodie (BIBLIOTECA BORGES) (Espasa Bolsillo) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
A diferencia del otro reseñador, creo que éste es uno de los libros esenciales de Borges, justamente porque en estos relatos se toma un respiro del Borges de los laberintos, los tigres y las aventuras en tierras lejanas. En general, éstas son más bien aventuras en tiempos lejanos, contadas con un estilo "realista" y directo que tiende a esconder ciertas complejidades (en lugar de hacerlas evidentes y palpables, como en los relatos de Ficciones y El Aleph). En ningún otro lado encontramos un cuento tan llanamente melancólico como "La Señora Mayor", o la delicada pesadilla de "Juan Muraña", o el velado homenaje a Roberto Arlt en "El Indigno", o el espanto y la crueldad de "El Evangelio..." o "El Otro Duelo". Y, desde ya, la pieza que da el nombre al libro es una diminuta y elegante obra maestra.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detail and Insight from Borges, April 17, 2011
This review is from: El informe de Brodie (BIBLIOTECA BORGES) (Espasa Bolsillo) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
'El informe de Brodie' is full of criminal encounters with great characterization making the crimes and events believable. Borges gives insight into the minds of criminals like no other.

Gritty details pour out as events unravel into stories that present crime with vivid criminal moments. Violence grabs the imagination as the pages are read.

Borges exposes elegantly and is great to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not excellent, but it is good., October 17, 2000

Guillermo E. Draletti (Buenos Aires, Cap. Fed. Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El informe de Brodie (BIBLIOTECA BORGES) (Espasa Bolsillo) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I am a big fan of Borges. His tales "El Aleph" and "La Biblioteca de Babel" are simply unbelievable. But "El informe de Brodie", I don't know why, is not so imaginative. I mean, the idea of those humans who got in an wrong direction of evolution and finish becoming beasts... Is very good wrote and all that, but is not the best of Borges. If it had came from another writer, I would say it was excellent. But it came from Borges... The other tales of the book are amazing, so a 4.
