Carmen la coja (Peel My Love Like An Onion (Texto Completo)) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I love Castillo's writing style - so simple and unassuming yet I found myself rereading sentences just to soak in its depth. A really interesting story about womanhood through the eyes of a flamenco dancer who is partially crippled because of polio. One of my faves for sure! "

" This is probably not a book I would have chosen to read. I read it because it is on the Salt Lake City list for the Amigos/Libros program. I liked it and the fact that I read it in Spanish stretched me, I wasn't overly impressed. "

" i have read this three or four times. i love it. "

" absolutely love it, all about love and lust "

" I've been wanting to read this for awhile now and finally got around to it. This story is a walk through a cultural wonderland. Me, being a white chick, struggled a bit, as a lot of the language is dialects of Spanish and I found myself looking up many words to keep track. It also inspired me to research flamenco dancing. Ultimately it is a story of a dancer caught between two lovers - a powerful strong female character, despite many downfalls. Expect to learn a thing or two and be inspired to reach out and grab what you want. "

" This was a difficult book to read due to the author's style of writing and layout of the book. The characters were not ones that I was able to relate to at all. Overall not a book I would recommend. "

" As I was reading this book one rainy, Portland afternoon, I turned to my mom and expressed a desire to possibly become a professional flamenco dancer. She was not terribly supportive. Carmen's life isn't pretty or easy, but the story is real. It'll bring you down, but in a good way. "

" I loved everything about this book. I feel like it gives me new motivation and a new look at life. Just fantastic. "

" This was a very good love story interlaced with music and dancing. I liked how Carmen learned to find her own voice and dignity. "

" He became as essential to my life as the sun that rises each morning to tell us we have not died the night before but just gone to sleep to dream. "

" I read this for book club. It made for a decent discussion, but mostly we agreed that there wasn't all that much depth to it. It's a quick read, but in the end I didn't care that much about the main character or the love triangle. "

" Another wonderful woman's coming of age story, this one about a woman whose disabilities get in the way of (parts of) her dance career. Not as sad as you might think, because of Castillo's voice. "

" loved it - so sensual....perfecto! "

" I really love this book, but I haven't reread it yet. So I probably don't need this copy. "

" I LOVED this book. Great story. Superbly written. Set in the drama that is flamenco. Good stuff. "

" One of my favorite books of all time. It is beautiful and poignant, and so well written. "

" Really got to like the main character and felt happy, sad, worried, excited with her as she describes her experiences. "

" it took me a little while to get into this book..but then i just could not put it down. It's a very entertaining book! the main character is very interesting... "

" I might need to re-read this one to fully appreciate it. "

" I loved this book- it's happy and it's sad, but more importantly it shows the fierce power of getting used to people & things and what those things & people are in your life and the equal if not greater power of letting go and just living in the moment... <3 as they say tis' life "

" This is my first introduction to the lyricism of Ana Castillo. I would greatly recommend for everyone to read her work, which contrasts raw emotion with beautiful word choices. Her work is both soft and jolting in the truth of emotion. I look forward to reading more of her work. "

" yet another book by Ana Castillo that I enjoyed... I like that her women are smart and strong, in spite of their other issues. I don't feel sorry for them but rather like them. "

" So this is a keeper! Fabulous. "

" This was the first book my book club and i read. It hasn't been the best book, but it is the one we had a lot to talk about. "

" Hmmm. Good voice, intriguing story line, but Carmen (main character) did not capture me. "
