    Great three reads
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2008*

I purchased The Troublesome Offspring of Cardenal Guzmán several years ago, not realizing it was part of a trilogy. I had just finished Captain Corelli's Mandolin and liked the author.  Last year I found the first two, The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts and Señor Vivo and the Coca Lords.  I went through the three without stopping to take a breath and enjoyed Cardenal Guzman even more the second time!The author has a perfect pitch ear for Spanish rendered into perfect English.  I could translate back into Spanish without missing a beat. His characters are all of Latin America and his mythical country extends from Mexico to Patagonia. His "magical realism" makes each of the stories more real and the characters deeper and more alive.I particularly like the way he takes on each of the components to the problem we live with: government corruption in Don Emmanuel, drug traficing in Señor Vivo and the heritage left us by the right wing Catholic Church. i only wonder why he calogs all Panamanians as prostitues.  Each of the books stands on its own but together they are a masterpiece of writing.By the way BIRDS WITHOUT WINGS fell into my hands a few years ago and I could not put it down.  I lost weight reading it because I didn't want to take time to eat.

    Just not his best book
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2009*

I've read most of DeB's books.  This book, compared to the World of Random Novels At Large is great, challenging, fun equally tragic.  Compared to other books by this author, it's the runt of a very impressive liter.I think the reason stems for the fact that it is a sequel - the stage is pre-set, the characters already onstage.  And the plot, though winding and with sprinkled with capricious elements, boils down to man versus man, a very clear cut analogy for men who strive to do good things, and men who strive to bad.  There are some gruesome scenes in here; and if you're read The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts, you know DeB can be horrific at times, but in this book, there is no reason for some of the most grusome parts of the book.  The Tragi-comedy aspect is still there - but much less on the comedy.  The magical realism is also a key fixture, but it's more like a gimmic in this work than the finely wielded tool in his other books.In short, if youre looking at picking up a DeBerieres book, don't start here.  I recommend Birds Without Wings or the War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts.

    I liked Birds Without Wings much better.
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2013*

de Bernieres writing style in this novel is unlike that of "Birds Without Wings".  I like the intricate storyline and characters in Birds much better.  This story is a trite treatment of a serious problem in South America and I don't think it serves well.  I was close to guessing the outcome, which is always disheartening.  A good read should excite and surprise the reader and I was neither.  The reviews of Birds were harsh and compared his style in this novel and most reviewers preferred this novel.  This upsets me.  I think the writing in Birds was far superior to Senor Vivo and won't purchase the other novels in this vein.  I don't know what some of the reviewers are thinking.  The plot of this novel was simplistic and the characters mere caricatures.  It is unfortunate.  Some people can't recognize great writing when they read it and prefer instead to enjoy the simple reads.
