5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely funny, extremely witty...but don't try it at home!, January 10, 1997

This review is from: La maravillosa medicina de Jorge (Paperback)

If you are an ancient, wicked, cracked grandmother with a thirty inch nose who thinks children are disgusting little creatures who should grow down, this book is not for you. If you are a young, lively child who thinks grannies should be kind old ladies who read to you and talk to you and love you and always give you cookies but are instead stuck with a horrible granny, you will love this book (but don't try the recipe at home - mummy could be upset!) George's life changes radically when he gives his granny a dose of a "marvellous medicine" which has some absurd, fantastic yet terribly funny results! A short book, but which will make anyone howl with laughter.

This review is from: La maravillosa medicina de Jorge (Paperback)

Este es un cuento de un niño que se llama Jorge y tiene que cuidar a su abuela odiosa y mentirosa. Cada día tenía que darle su medicina y un día decide darle una medicina que el inventa para cambiar su actitud. Unas partes del libro sí eran chistosas como cuando la abuela se siente que se va a quemar y explotar. Pero, por lo general el libro era aburrido. No lo debes de comprar porque te arrepentirás y perderás tu dinero y tu tiempo.
