review 1: Una historia de amor a pesar de los protagonistas que tratan durante toda una vida de huirse el uno del otro, en el devenir de una época que cambio las reglas del juego.Estafa, lujo, situaciones algo sordidas y la melancolía de lo que nunca volverá, se conjugan sutilmente con dos de los temas preferidos de Reverte: los barcos y el ajedrez.Personajes y situaciones muy bien creados que envuelven al lector.
review 2: I expected more, actually. Felt like reading a... more aggressive? 'hotter'? version of 'Love in the Times of Cholera' by G.G.Marquez which was, by the way, one of the most boring books I've ever read. In Perez-Reverte's version there was a scene, I admit, [I mean the scene where Max asks Mecha if Jorge is his son and she tells 'no'] when I thought... more for a while 'wow, not a conventional solution [he's not the father]'... but then everything collapsed. The ending with Soviet investigation and final escape (without the necklace this time, unbelievable!...) did not satisfy me at all. There were moments that made me smile, of course, and I liked the atmosphere of the thirties, but neither dancing nor chess moved me. 3 - liked it, that's all, it's a pity, though. less
